She is always growling and throwing slurs at some of us. We do all we can for her and try our best to make things easy and happy for her. hut she is never satis fled and we cannot please her no mat ter how good we are to her. 1 am the only daughter and the only child. 1 have a son who Is mown and married and has a very fl;ie wife. She and her husband get along so nicely and seem to love each other so much. I have told them and mother that if she doesn’t do and not better I am doing to leave home, for I can't stand things the way they are much longer. T am a widow and have to make a living for myself and my mother, and it is very hard and trying for me. I have told them for the last time that I will leave and my daughter-inlaw vs if I leave she will go, too, as he onnot stay with my mother be • i ii -■** site is so mean and slurring. That will break up the happiness be i . * -n her and my son. My son has n . >od paying position and Is very ..id to all of us. The honse is in hU so and partially paid for. I am p aced in a very bad position, but I . nnot « ndure things as they are very i;. iich longer, for it is making me a nervous wreck. pjoaso advise me what to do.

On the » >'r hand, the vet old people who < '»: ■» so much trouble are often made to feci that they are a burden and the one r loud that stands in the way of happiness. You have asked me to be honest end sincere in my answer to you, but I im afraid you will not like my lion et-* opinion. Your letter shows great k patience and relflshness, and unless you control your elf and become more p ntle and tolerant you will be just like your mother in your old age. The care of her is your problem j x long as you live and cannot be shirked by you and thrown on to the shoulders of your son and his wife without your paving the price of such selfishness sooner or later. Ton ought to he thankful every day thal you ha\*e a son who puts Up with the sit uation and a daughtcr-inlaw who is good enough to make the best of mat ters unless you desert. f>f course you and your son could support you mother in some good home where doubtless she would be happier than she is now. One way or another face your problem, my dear woman, and do not let your soul giow bitter under its weight. In this lesson of life, do the best you know how, so that you Will pass the experi ence creditably when the reckoning comes. Sister's Troublesome.

I always did everything I could for her to malce her happy ami I absolutely trusted her. Now she sod I have a quarrel and my husband takes her part and not mine. Her husband also takes her part. It hu mtliates me and makes me feel terrl bly to think my husband would turn against mo at this time. I can't hel[ thinking that he ami tny sister mean) more to each other than I realized nl lh« lime she lived with us. If nij husband didn't rare more for her that lie does me, don’t you think he wouli be willing lo s< o my side at this lime. MARTHA. Your husband's sease of just lee un doubtedly makes him take your sis ter s part In Ihe quarrel Instead ol yours.

Do not be resentful, bul be big enough to realize when youi husband as well ns vour sister’s hue hand Is against you, there Is grea probability that you are wrong. Thin! the matter over and put yourself It t our Sister's place. If you see lha perhaps you hate not been fair, adrnl It and take the first step toward peace House Warming at Prinz Home.

It You Need a Medicine You Should Have the Best • Have you ever stopped to reason why it Is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon for gotten? The reason Is plain—the ar ticle did not fulfill the promise* of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medi cinal preparation that has real cura live value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy Is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are In need of it. A prominent druggist says "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a pre|»aratlon I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, aa many of my customers testify. No oilier kid ney remedy has so large a sale." According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, I he suc cess of Dr. Kilmer s Swamp Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that It fulfills almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. You mav receive a sample bottle of Swamp Root by Parrel Post. Address l>r. Kilmer A Co., Binghamton, N. Y , . nd enclose ten cents: also mention this paper.

Headache. Biliousness I A Wipe's mmmr Gfdele ^hrris6% Madge's Strange Rnrounter with a Chinese. For a second or two I thought Mother Graham would fall to the ground, from sheer terror at the vision my idle words liad evoked, that of the possibility of an appear ance at the house of the mysterious man she so dreaded. I held on to her tlghlly, and spoke with unusual sharpness, "What nonsense. "He never would dare do that?” She twisted In my arms and stared at me In affright. "He!” she repeated. "What do you know about any 'he?'" "Nothing at all,” I promptly re plied. "But you have been saying the word repeatedly. " 'He' will do this, and you are afraid 'he' will do that, so I naturally supposed some man was annoying you in some way. Don’t you.think you'd better tell me all about It, so that I may take the burden of whatever Is troubling you upon my young, stronger shoul ders?” Her face and body sagged with re lief. and her eyes lost some of their terror. "Tomorrow,” she said faintly, "you'll probably know everything I know, but until then—I’m not sure —perhaps It's not all true after all— perhaps he hasn't proofs—don't pay any attention to me Margaret. I don't know what I'm saying half the time.” “Don't Think About It." "Don’t think about it any more then, until tomorrow," I counselled her soothingly, drawing her to the arrrfchair by the fire and settling her in it. Then for the next half hour, I devoted myself to the task ->f diverting her mind from the thing which w-as troubling her. ' It was an old ruse I used, that of asking her advice about problems, real and imaginary, concerning Jun lor. and It worked beautifully. After a while, she declared herself ready for a nap, I tucked her in not only with the consciousness of a task well done, Jjpt with the assurance hat I would have an hour or two free for investigation I meant to make. For my eves had seen what Mother Graham's, older and dimmer, had not been able to discern—the glimpse fleeting but distant, of a man's hat just below the tops of the small trees In the woodland skirting the garden. I had walked with Picky In that woodiand, and I knew that If a man stood erect In It, his head and shoul ders would be plainly visible. The fact that I eoyld glimpse but the hat made It certain that the man moving through the shrubbery wa.« bending over double as he walked. That could "mean, hut one thing —he was trying to avoid being seen— something which spelled some sin lster purpose to Imagination, already inflamed by the revelations ronrcrn Ing the mysterious man In the shrub bery made to me bv my mother In law and the children. That there was something sinster menacing In the attitude of this un known man, T was now certain, and with thg certainty rame the deter mination to confront him If possible and find out his errand. Wrappthg up warmly, I slipped Into my pocket a tiny silencer pistol which Lillian gave me long ago, and which I am never without when I go upon anv uncertain or dangerous mission. I am thankful Indeed,that I never have had occasion to use It. although I have leveled It more than once at eome menacing figure, and have known that the pro tection It gave me meant my life. “I Came to the Hedge.” I made my way down the hack stairs- thanking my particular little joss that I met no one, not even Katie, busy helping little Mrs. Dur kee In another part of the house. Keeping close to the hedge, screen ing the kitchen door, where I knew X would be out of sight of any win dow of the house. X soon came to the hedge separating the Durkee proper ty from that which we used to own. Secure In the knowledge that the owners, had gone away, I slipped through a gap In the hedge, and tak ing a leaf from the book of the mysterious marauder in the wood land. 1 bent double and ran along close to the fence until I came to the footbridge across the brook. I found myself shivering a bit as I entered the thicket where I had seen the man. and my fingers tight ened their grip upon the little pistol. But I need not have feared. There was no trace of either man or beast In the entire piece of woodland, al though I searched It throughly. I finally retraced my steps, thor oughly mystified, ready' to helleve that both Mother Graham and I were fit subjects for a psycopathic ward, when from behind me a soft voice said insinuatingly: "Mlssee Graham looking for Lee Chow?" I whirled and confronted the Chi nese who said he was Hugh Grant land's servant. ' Friends of Music. The Friends of Music will meet Wednesday’, January’ 28, at the home of Mrs. George A. Joslyn.
