Dear Miss Dix: How can their
parents get rid of couple of para
site children who are young and
and should be self-support-
ing, yet who sponge on the old peo-
pie for meals and lodging? These
youngsters never contribute even SO
much as ration ticket to help
pay for their food nor do they wash
a dish or sweep a floor to help their
poor, hard-worked mother and
father. Their money goes for amuse-
ments and good clothes, and the
daughter is SO lazy she doesn't even
do her own laundry. She brings her
soiled clothes over to mother to wash.
The parents are so tender of their
darlings that they will never do any
thing about Kidding themselves OF
these pests, but isn't there some
way that their friends and neigh
bors could do something about pro-
tecting these old softies against
these human leeches?
DISGUISED.
Answer fear not. For if par
entS won prOtect themselves against
their children no one else can. Nor
do they desire to be protected. If
you saw a husky young man beat
ing his poor old mother, you would
try to rescue her at your peril. She
would turn on you like tigress de-
Tending her young, and you would
have to fee for your life.
The world is full of parents who
are slaves TO their children. All of us
know plenty of fathers who are
working themselves to death to sup
port sons who are loaflng through
college. We know any number of
mothers who slave over the cook
ing stove and the washing machine
while their daughters lie on couch
and read novels and never do q

Between trying to subsidize
Christmas lists, keep up on War
Bonds and finance a glad rag or
two for the holidays, most OF us
are in a bit of quandary with out
budgets caught right in the middle.
Naturally you can't cut down on
the bonds, and nobody wants to
economic on friends, so the obvi-
Gus place to save is on clothes. Do
ing without isn't the answer either
because that murders morale, may
even sow the seeds of self-pity.
But actually, all you need is a
little wit and a lot of will to add to
your wardrobe without subtracting
too much from your hard-pressed
funds.
Chances are you'll want long

Neurasthenia, or weakened nerves,
causes more physical misery and
mental unhappiness than any other
ailment. The victim is certain that
some dread organic disease has at
tackled. 1t is not unusual for such
sufferers to visit a large number of
physicians, trying in vain to find
relief.
Weakened nerves cause all man
ner of disturbing symptoms. A re-
stricted feeling around the head, or
a dull ache at the base of the skull,
sense of fullness after eating.
sleeplessness, and feeling of
tenseness throughout the body.
Such patients develop fears for
which there seems no logical rea-
son. A feeling of dread and uncer-
tainty pervades their thoughts.
This condition can be cured when
treated as a functional ailment.
Many are finding health and hap
piness through psychology. If you
have the above symptoms, you may
be cured and restored to a happy,
healthy life. Phone MA. 1925. DR..

fraternal and military groups, as

1t was indicated that information

aid the planning. Plans already
drawn for stadium near the new
