Babara Bell, Washington Star: Inclose 25 cents in coins for Dorothy Dix Says Don’t Make Tragic Mistake of Taking Widowed Mother Into Your Home. EAR DOROTHY DIX—My father and mother had been mar- ried a long time. A month ago he died. What happiness can she, a woman starting her sixties, have without the man she loved? What joy can be hoped for when one wishes to sleep and never wake up? What pleasure out of life can a woman get if she has not been trained for some absorbing profession and who has only been a housewife and mother and enjoyed that and the success of making countless friends? It seems as though childish laughter, the beauty of sun, sky and earth, everything one shared with the man one loved, will be like a knife thrust in a broken heart. My mother is only partially independent. She is coming to live with me and that moves her a long distance from her old home and friends and leaves her nothing to do to fill in the time. I ask you again, must all of her future life be empty and meaningless and m:emm 'ANSWER: You are about to make the tragic mistake that so many loving and dutiful children make, of breaking up their mothers’ homes when fathers die. The sons and daughters are so overflowing with pity for poor mother; they feel that she will be so helpless with- out the man on whom she has leaned for so long; they cannot bear to think of leaving her alone in the house that will seem so desolate with father gone out of it that they snatch her out of the home, which has become part of her very life, they sell the furniture that is interwoven with her every memory and sanctified to her by countless griefs and joys, they separate her from her old friends and take her away into an entirely new environment in their own homes. “Mother, you must come and live with me. The children will be such a comfort to you and my house is so much more comfortable than this old barn.” “Mother, you have worked so long for us, now you must never do another hand's turn as long as you live.” How many devoted sons and daughters have said these words to their mothers as they stood by their father’s coffin. How many sons and daughters, in all filial duty have made the terrible blunder of sacrificing their mother and themselves by transplanting her from her own home into theirs, FOE in taking mother away from her own home, they have taken from her the only thing that could really comfort her in her first grief over the loss of her husband. As long as she can stay in the familiar rooms in which they have lived so long, she is not alone. He is still with her. His presence fills the place as it never can her children’s strange houses. There is comfort for her also in the familiar things, and the greatest comfort of all is in having something to do, the old routine tasks that must be done every day, and comfort in the old friends whose sympathy must come from the heart. It is a cruel thing to take an old woman out of her old home and put her to live in another woman'’s house, even if that other woman is her own daughter. She never fits in and always feels herself an unwelcome guest to her in-laws. The children worry her. She has no friends and is lonely beyond belief. Her hands ache for the work to which she is accustomed, and she is miserable and makes those about her miserable. Far, far better for her children to make up a little purse and support mother in her old home than to try to move her. YOUR view of death is both morbid and cowardly, and if every one met it in the craven spirit in which you do this would be a world of mourning filled with the lamentations of the bereft. For death comes to us all and no one is so fortunate as not to have lost some one near and dear. At first we all feel that the anguish is too intolerable to be borne, but if we have a brave heart we brace up and bear our suffering with what fortitude we may, knowing that all about us are those who have also trodden the way of the crucifixion and yet turned a smiling face upon their fellows. And then Time, the consoler, the healer, does its blessed work and the wound ceases to ache so agonizingly and slowly, slowly it heals and we take up the threads of our lives again and begin to find pleasure in the things we once enjoyed. This healing wi to r mother, but it will come the sooner in her own home. et DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright. 1935.) e dinner, have them mixed by 9 o'clock Delicious Rolls. in the morning.

TH! red, white and blue aprons were such a success that Nancy tried her hand at another combination. ‘This time she bought brown percale, one and three-quarters yard, and cream percale, one-quarter yard. She made a full apron with its full- ness held in a wide band that was of % same width as the long, generous Then she cut the stars of cream percale. The patern for these is on the direction leaflet. “ALL-BRAN FORMS MAJOR PORTION OF MY BREAKFAST” Delicious Cereal Relieved His Constipation®* Read Mr. Huyghe’s voluntary letter: “After suffering for years, I happened to notice in the grocery a box of ALL-BRAN. I determined to give it a fair trial. “Today it forms the major por- tion of my breakfast. I cannot say enough for its effect, as I am a man 58 years of age, at the time in life when one needs just what ALL- BRAN does for you.” — Mr. Robt. A. Huyghe, 810 Union St., New Orleans, La. *Constipation due to insufficient “bulk” in meals. Research shows that Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN furnishes “bulk” to ex- ercise the intestines. ALL-BRAN also supplies vitamin B and iron. Two tablespoonfuls daily are usu- ally sufficient. With each meal, in serious cases. If not relieved this way, see your doctor. The “bulk” in ALL-BRAN resists digestion better than the “bulk” in leafy vegetables.

She was careful to have the points sharp and true. She found that & little of the turned-under material could be clipped. After the raw edges were basted in place, the stars were pressed. Then she pinned them in place on the apron., One goes on a ket, so she cut that and hemmed if, but did not attach it to the apron until she had the star appliqued. The dusting and sweeping cap was copied from one she had received from @ friend in Sweden. The drawing shows the way it is adjusted on the head. Nancy might have used unbleached muslin for the apron and cap. In that case the stars could have been brilliant red or rich blue, or she could have made them of colored candle ‘The dimensions for the cap are given in the direction leaflet.

A way of measuring the aroma in tea with sci- entific exactness has been developed. And it’s the aroma that makes tea 80 delightful. Fourteen brands of tea—including all the leaders—were bought in the open market and tested by this method. The difference was amazing. Tender Leaf Tea and one other brand (considerably more expensive) were found to have much more aroma. ‘The remaining brands, costing up to $1.75 for 16 ounces, had as little as one-sixth the aroma of Tender Leaf Tea. Because this tea is made up of the choice, young leaves alone, picked at the peak of flavor and fragrance. No coarse, heavy leaves are added for bulk, ‘Tender Leaf Tea not only gives you s more enjoyment—it gives you greater “lift,” because the aromatic sub- stances help produce this effect. The “lift” in tea comes from exfra oxygen. After drinking tea, your blood carries more oxygen through your brain and tissues. You feel alert —alive. And there is no unhealthy reaction—no “let-down.” Drink Tender Leaf Tea, and see for yourself. Your grocer has it in two convenient sizes. Scientific Comparison of Leading Brands shows Amazing Differences in Tea Aroma Tests of 14 brands of tea—including all major brands—show an amazing difference in the quali- ties you really pay for. Only one other tea—con- siderably more costly—equaled Tender Leaf Tea in aroma, measured by exact scientific methods. Other brands, costing up to $1.75 for 16 ounces, had as little as one-sixth the aroma. The chart shows the difference. As you know, aroma means fine flavor. Now it is known that it means “oxygen effect,” tool
