He is sur vived by three daughters Mrs El izabeth Turner, with whom he made his home, Mrs. Hattie Pal Y. M. E.—My play mother seem' to like me very much. Do yoi think she really means it or is siu pretending ? Ans: She has no reason to pre tend. The woman is sincere, ano I suggest that you accept hex friendship in the same good spirit that it is given. You should feel honored to have her friendship. Worried :-^I am going with 3 boys who all live in the same com j munity. They all seem to care for me. Nothing has happened be I tween us yet, but I feel that some thing is going to. Tell me what I should do? Ans: Don’t do it. It so hap pens that you are “frisking ar ound’’ entirely too much for a giri your age. There is important in formation bearing on your case, which I prefer to handle privately WVte me today. M. B. C —-I do not want to leave rry mother in the house alone ns sl.e is not well Not by a long sl ot. I want my husband to come tort and stay until death calls one or the other of us. He wants me to go to our home. What should I do? Ans: In your mother’s condit ion it would be dangerous for her j to be left alone. You might ar range to have some capable per I son stay with your mother a few days a week while you go to your husband, or you could proposition your husband about moving your mother home uhtil she is strong e nough to look after herself. Your mother is very gTateful for your I attention and I assure you. your ' kindness will not go unrewarded. E. M. B.—Listen, my boy frienj quit me. He got angry and won’1 come to see me anymore: I love him and want him back. I asked l him to forgive me. Everytimc 1 ask him has he quit me.... he tell:? me to wait and see. I am still waiting. Ans‘ And you will continue tr wait. Your friend is as sore as a boil about a certain letter you wrote and it will be a long time before he gets over his mad spell. I you want ti really open his eyes .... find you another boy friend and lead your old flame to think that life is truly enjoyable with out him. L. M.—I have been worried, could you tell me just what is wrong? I have so much on my I mind. I don’t know which end is | up. Oh please tell me what to do. Why do people like me worry ? Ans: For the lack of something worthwhile to do. More than any thing else....you need a JOB. Right now you have too much time on your hands with nothing to do but brood over your troubles and everybody else’s troubles too. Go to work and your problem ot!1 be solved. B. M. J.—Please tell me what is my trouble. I stay ill most of the time. Do I have heart trouble or what is it? I have taken ev erything people told me, nothing seems to do any good. Please tell me if I can be cured? Ans: There is a heap of diff erence in medicines and I think it is unwise to take medicine that everybody and anybody prescribes. Your condition requires more than “hit or miss’’ remedies. You need a thorough examination by a^com petent doctor. Let him prescribe the medicine and do what he says. I believe a decided improvement will be noted. A. L. W.—My husband is the kind that likes to run about, he mer, Washington, D.
