M. M. CT am married and
my husband does not seem to
care for me like he once did. He
drinks most of the time now and
he does not give me as much
money as he should. l don't
have enough money to run the
home. Now l have in mind that
he might be spending his money
on other women also. Tell me
what | should do.
Ans: Alcoholic beverages are
expensive and if your husband
drinks to excess he can 90 through
his income as fast as he makes it.
If there were other women in
volved, you would have an ink
ling of it before this time. Alec
hol is your only revival, You
can 60 long way toward help
ing your husband drink less by
giving him well rounded, happy
home life. Condemning him for
falling into this habit and spend
ing his money foolishly will an
tagonize him more. Never discuss

his cousins house. From the
start he said he liked me so he
started coming to see me at my
house. He is older than | but
that doesn't make any difference.
He wants me to 60 to Texas with
him to live with him and his sis
ter and we will get married there.
Now tell me what to do?
Ans: This man is considerably
older than you and since you are
not sure of your love for him, it
would be best not to accept his
offer. And too, if you married
him 1t would be necessary for you
to live in the house with his fam
lily which in all probability would
be Objectionable. Marriage is
difficult enough when two people
are desperately in love but it is
almost impossible to endure when
you substitute liking for love.

problems when he is sober and
In a way that will not offend
him, Let him know that if he
must have his drink, you would
prefer that he did so at home. You
can eventually wean him away

point to have an appetizing meal
awaiting him on his arrival each
evening. Be exceedingly kind
and affectionate while he is going
through this period of change.

c. A. IL married a soldier
eighteen months ago. believe he
loved me. But now he acts like
he doesn't. We have a nine
months old son and my husband
was home on q furlough in Jan
uary and had fifteen days and
he only spent three days with me,
He stayed the other days with
his father and sister, Now he
doesn't act like he cares for me
and the child. What must | do?
Ans: Your husband has been
IN service ever since you two have
been married and he just doesn't
realize the responsibilities of a
marriage and a family are. Your
indifference by not going along
with him to visit his folks is the
cause of the friction that now ex-
lists. You and your baby should
show more interest in his people
and when he gets his next leave
spend your time with him re-
gardless of where he chooses to
stay. There are many disappoint-
ments ahead for service wives but
if problems arc met with under
standing and sincerity they can
be worked out successfully. You
can't expect too much of your
husband until he returns to civil
ian life and normal living.

H. MI am living in the house
with two of my brothers and they
don't act like they care for me.
They don't even tell me good
morning. Now do you think that
it would be wise for me to go
ahead and buy the house l have in
mind and get out?
Ans: No house is large enough
for three separate families as
closely relatedNs you three. Look
around and get IN. a pl.ce Of your

think you are settled there per-
manently then it will be quite

Questions & Answers

@. plan on devoting space
in my back yard approximately rs
feet by rs feet to Victory Garden.
Since I am new in the Valley, would
you tell me what l could plant now
which would do we'll at this season?
C.W.S.
A: Corn is especially good to plant
at this season since it may be plant
ed between rows of other growing
vegetables. Recommended varieties
are the yellow bantam varieties,
hardy and show an early maturity.
Good also at this time for planting
are radishes, beets, turnips, bush
wax beans, various green's, particu-
larly New Zealand spinach which
does well in hot weather, and
squash. Carrots may still be plant
ed if plenty of fertilizer is used but,
as in the case of other large COM
mercial Valley crops. they are avail
able in markets and not recon-
mended for that reason.

will be answered as space permits.

Goal Set at 1000
Victory Gardens

With a set goal of 20C0 for the
Imperial Valley, the annual CAM
paign for victory gardens got under
way on Saturday. confidence being
expressed by the local Farm Ad-
visers Office that Imperial Valley
residents will whole-hearteely re-
spend and that the goal will be
achieved. The campaign is par. of
Z nationwide one. the national goal
being 22.000,000 victory gardens.
Not only is the cause a patriotic
one but the answer of the people
Of America to a war problem of ut
nest Importance.
Those who have not already made
plans for victory gareens this year
are urged to do SO at once. utilizing
vacant lots, unused fields and pas
lures or any space not in use where
vegetables may be grown.
The attitude of Imperial Valley
residents so far as victory gardens
are concerned is one of which this
district may well be proud. During
1914. for instance, the Valley boast
ed no fewer than 100 victory gar
dens. a gain of approximately 800
Per cent over the number of gar
dens in previous years. Those be-
hind the campaign in this part of
The state are confident that Valley
residents will not let them Gown
but will establish new records.
There has, however, been some
lack of interest in victory gardens
on the part of some Valley residents
because of the ready availability of
many fresh vegetables on the I'M
perial Valley food market. While
this may be true in some respects,
IL IS pointed out that need exists
for supplementing the raising of
many vegetables and in this connec-
tion charts have been prepared and
will be available at the Farm Ad-
visors Office of Imperial County to
aid and guice prospective home
growers detailing many vegetables
which may be planted now to sup
plement those grown in the I'M
perial Valley commercially and
readily obtainable at local stores.
The wisdom of planting and grow
ing vegetables CT which there is not
an abundance on the market is
stressed and explained.
Victory garc Gems produce primarily
for home consumption not for the
public market, it being stated by
local farm authorities that it is es-
timated that the average victory
garden can easily grow the yearly
requirements for an entire family,
including the consumption of fresh
vegetables and vegetables for cam
ming.
