I am za years old. I would like to gain weight. I am married and have one chlhi. I do all my housework and go out to work every day. My rrneck is thin, my bust is flat and I feel so tired and ‘weary all the time because 1 am troubled with indigestion and I um very nervous and irritable. Some of my teeth are in very bad condition and I cannot chew hard bread or pleat and whatever I eat gives me distress afterward. Please advise just what to do in my case. MRS. S. G. R. .-\llsu'cr--'l‘ile first thing for you to do, my dear, is to have a. thorough physical examination and have your teeth attended to by a good dentist. Probably your bad teeth are the cause of allyour trouble, because if you cannot mastlcate your food pro- ptriy and eat substantial meals your whole system cannot function ' cor- rectly and this state will cause all kinds of trouble. Your indigestion, stomach and nervous disorders cannot be improved until your body is pro- perly nourished; your food is not doing you very much good because it is not digested or assimilated. The semi-starved condition makes you nervous and irritable. The next thing for you to do is to lay out a plan by which y may gain your normal weight. wh ch’ is between 128 and 13B pounds. This health and beauty program should include more sleep, rest and relaxa- ation than you have been getting, as vrll as a more nourishing diet, and also you must train yourself to con- trol your worry habit. and irritability. ‘ l know that it will not bc easy for you to meet these new conditions. ‘but if you will make a‘ determined effort to rennin your health‘ and beauty now while you are young you will flnd it vveil worth while. As yougrow older it will be_much harder to change your present men- tnl and physical habits. Keen the thought in mind, my dear, that you ovve it-not only to yourself but- in your husband and the little girl to improve your health and disposition -='~' 3-) alike the most. of "yourself even ihollgh youneglcet some minor household duty and give up working outside every day._Pcrl"laps you could take c. part-time positlonwhlch will [live you more time to your health nrul homeg _ _ _ lluke up your mind to be a-zrl calm, and cultivate a happy at"- titucie of mind no matter vyllathap- hens.

The list is endless. why, practically every female saintwho has ever been canoniaed has been an old maid.

Somebo ‘y once said that God coilidn't be everywhere all the time, so He made mothers. You could amend this and saythat mothers couldn't do everything, so God made old maids to do the things that mothers left undone. Nothing is more pitiful than the waythat old maids undervalue them- selves and the lopsided and pessimistic vitw, tlaeyfltake pftheir estate. They seem to feel that thereisaklnd of shame attachedtobeingunmarrisd, that it indicates that they werelecking in attractions and were passed over by lnen. Also, they seem to feel that they have missed everything in life worth having in not being married. ' ‘ ~ , - All of which is utter no . For a woman not to have married is no reflection upon her charms. It merely shows that for some reason of her own she did not choose to marry, and every intelligent person looks upon it that way nwvmdays. None but fools sneer at old maids any more than they do at old bachelors. In these times no one questions why a. woman mar- ries or remains unmarried It is entirely a, matter of personal preference and individual circumstances. . Nor need the old maid feel that she isebarred from happiness and a full and useful lilo. Undoubtedly the highest pinnacle of human bliss is at- tained by tile lucky woman who marries a man who loves her and is faithful to her and who has fine children, but how many women are fortunate enough v.1 draw thc capital prize in the indt-irnonial lottery? And il‘ the old maid misses the best fate has to give, she also is safe from tho worst fate that can befall a woman. She never goes through the agony of the woman who sees her husband cease to lové her, who sees an- other woman put in her place, who listens to the (ca: of a. drunken footstep coming home of n night Sllc never has her heart broken by wild and un- grateful childroll. ‘ So the old maids lot is not one that calls for self-pity. It is ‘one that has many consolation prizes in it and that can be made of benefit "to its owner and to so: iety. - ~ _ DQ301111! DIX- . O O O O. O I I O Dear Miss Dilh-My husband has a salary of 010,000 a year. We have no children and no dependents. He gives me I100 a month. Out of this I have to buy all of the food, all my clothes and any little extras required for the house. On no account does he ever give me an extra dollar. When we go on a vacation I have to pay my own board and I have to save up for that, as I don't receive any money for that time; I am very self- ' when I am out in‘ company. as I am never well dressed. My husband is good to nlo in every other way and he doesn't spend any money on himself either or any one else.
