MOTHER OF THREE WANTS
TO DIVORCE SOLDIER
HUSBAND

My husband is a soldier. / love
him with all my heart but he drinks
and never wants to help with the
children and never want to carry
me any place unless he's drunk and
| can't take that. l came home to
have my third child and l am think
ing that 1 may as we'll get a di-
vorce so tell me if this is the thing
to do? Jan. II, 1877"
Ans: A divorce is not the solu-
ton. True, your husbands con-
slant drinking is annoying but you
are miserable without him. Your
children need their father too. When
you return exert more effort in
pleasing him and don't expect too
much of him in regards to helping
with the kids. He loves you and
the children. Be more demonstra-
tive in your affection for him and
less critical of his weaknesses and
you'll get along better.
