Life's Problems Are Discussed By Mrs. Wilson W nodroit A girl has written me a letter which has interested me enormously, not only because of the unique char acter of the writer thus revealed but also because the work for which she feels she has a vocation is somewhat out of the beaten path. She says: "Dear Mrs. Woodrow: 1 am groin;; to ask you a (Treat big favor, and I wonder if you will help me by grant ins it. "I am going to make my con fession. and it is kind of hard. This is it: I am so uninteresting that sometimes I could cry. I say to my self. 'Oh, if I only knew how to be come interesting!' "I am sure, or at least I hope, that you won't say what a woman I have loved and admired for years said when I told her of my great longing: 'Go to the library, ray dear." "1 don't want to go there. I want you to help me by telling me how I tan see more of people and get to know 1 hem. Don't you imagine that a lot of people would gladly pay a dollar for one evening when they wanted to go out and get some amusement, if they could rind sorae one who would look after their homes and children for them—say one night a week? It would do them a world of good. "Or, again, there must be people who want some one to do their errands for them, and then if thev expected company and they simply had to have a girl for an afternoon or evening I would do those things so gladly. * "1 don't know how to go about it, though, but if you will tell me I will do something great for you and help >ou every way I can." My dear child, it is very sweet of you to feel that sense of reciprocity, hut don't bother about your obliga tion to me. I 'am here to try to tell you the things you want to know: that is what 1 am paid for. It is also my great pleasure if I can be of any assistance to you. But where did you get that queer, amazing, amusing idea that you are uninteresting? However, there is no u • in wondering how it found lodg ment in your brain. There is only one thing to do now. and that is to throw it on the mental ash-heap where it belongs. Your letter shows initiative, en thusiasm and generosity, a spirit of adventure and determination to follow tha promptings of your own nature. It is a combination which, i-pupled with perseverance, cannot tail to bring success. Theiefore. 1 continue to wonder what ha.- made you cry over being uninteresting. Perhaps you are a little shy. or perhaps you are naturally more of an observer than a talker and feel at a disadvantage socially. 1 do not know, but I can assure you positively that you are mistaken in \ our estimate of yourself. In fact, when ail the little chatterers that \ou now envy are still merely chat terers. you will be an extremely in teresting woman, because vou have that qualitv which H. G. Wells has defined as" "the courage of the imagination." I hear that there is a real demand for just the sort of service you de sire to give. In these days of the iiigh cost of living and when wages are soaring almost out of sight many women, especially those with little liildren, are clamoring: for a visiting mother's helper who will assist them 'a their household duties and look after the children one or two or three afternoons a week and also upon an occasional evening. of course you will have to have excellent references.

I am so glad to have you j come!" i Mrs. Butler said the words ex citedly. Then, drawing Douglas into i her own room (she had insisted on ' having a small room in this place | until her daughter came from the j East), she closed the door behind j her. "Sit down!" she ordered. "Let me talk to you. I am worried to j death about John. As I told you, I he got so angry with Dr. McAndrew j that I was actually frightened. It ! was all because he got hold of some I scientific book that he wanted to read—and the doctor said that it would tax his brain too much. I am at my wits' end. and don't know what to do. I have tried physicians here and everywhere at home. "I came on out to this place thinking the change would do my boy good. But he becomes more (and more nervous all the time. Oh, 'Dr. Wade, can't you help me? I I will hand John over to you en- I tirely, if you think you can cure him." "What he needs Is to ret away i from physicians and to have some i new ideas." Wade declared. He knew that it might not be to | his own interests to say this. But | brought face to face with facts, he ! must be honest. i "Why not le't me talk to John?" |he suggested after a moment's i silence. "I want to win the boy's | confidence.'* | "You are welcome to try." the j widow said. "I have a feeling that ; you may succeed where others have | failed. If John could only get in i terested in something that would j not tax his strength—could only shake off this appalling apathy and discontent that oppress him—he might yet be saved. But he makes no effort to get well. Yet he must know how cruelly anxious I am ; about him. He likes you, and I am going to tell him that you would like him to run in to see you. May he come to-night?" "Certainly," the physician agreed. "I will expect him this evening." On his way back to town Douglas Wade diagnosed the case with which he found himself entrusted. He put himself in the patient's place and tried to see where the trouble lay. (His verdict was not complimentary HARRJSBURG <&&&& TELEGRAPH to the woman with whom he had just been talking. Too Much Pampering "Too much mother anu too many I doctors!" was his decision. "The j chap needs to get away from every- I thing to which he is accustomed. | But how can it be done? Well— ! I'll wait until I have a talk with j him to-night." The physician greeted the young j man cordially as he received him in his room in the Riverhill hotel at I half-past eight that evening. I 'l'm glad to you,' Wade said 1 cordially. "It's lonely for me on these first warm evenings of Spring. So I asked Mrs. Butler to spare you jto me for an hour or so. I wanted i a pleasant fellow to talk to." ! The expression of surprise that i came to the guest's eyes soon gave i way to a look of gratification. It was niain that he had come here on the defensive, sure that he was to be questioned as to symptoms and ailments. Instead. Dr. Wade talked for an hour of certain experiences he had I had in Paris, of the latest theatrical i successes, of baseball and. finally, of I farming. It was when he mentioned ; this last subject that John Butler's j face lighted eagerly, j "I never spent a whole summer on a farm," he observed. "I wish I j ■ could." 1 A sudden idea occurred to the ! ' physician. "Wouldn't you like to j i try jf" he asked. i The young man answered bluntly. | j "Not if it's some, health Joint! I'm | sick of sanatoriums, and, excuse me, | jof doctors too. I would like to get ' | where I would never see one." | "I don't blame you!" Wade laughed. "I'm often tired of them | myself." j Then he talked of other matters. He would wait to develop his idea j until he had watched this young j man for a while longer. He liked him thoroughly, even while he j noticed certain signs that made him I sure that the fellow's nerves were :in a critical condition. Here was a I clear case of a good mind feeding j upon itself to a dangerous degree, j The lad was over-petted by an absurdly careful mother, was con- ! stantly reminded that he was an | invalid and in grave danger. If he j could acquire a new and healthful i idea, would live out of doors and i work hard, he might be saved be- j fore it was too late. Labor on ai farm was what he needed. A Bit of Praise •It was nearly eleven o'clock that i i John Butler left Wade's rooms' promising to come again soon. "I'm disregarding every rule of that rest-shop (so called) where I am staying," he remarked. "Lights are supposed to be out, at 10—just like a girls' school. But I doq't care if old McAndrew raises the devil himself. I've had a good time here. You're the only he-man I've I talked with since I came West." I | Then, with an apologetic smile. "I i I am sorry I said what I did about j doctors. It was not right. Put l some of them do disgust me. Will j I you forgive me if I say that you | are not a bit like a physician?" Wade laughed. "1 am perhaps quite as much of a farmer as I am a doctor," he said. Then, in reply to Butler's inquir ing look, he explained, "We have a farm away up in New Hampshire, on which I really ought to be right now—lf my practir* permitted." (Surely he might allow himself this statement!) "Our old farm is there —the only bit of land I own. Amos Chapin, our farmer, runs the place on shares. I must pay for an in ferior sort of farm-hand for him. An educated, up-to-date, scientific farmer could do wonders with the place. As it is, it is getting worth less. Amos means well, but he is growing old. And* I am too far away to boss things." As he spoke he saw the light for which he was watching creep into his companion's eyes. "I say!" Butler burst forth im pulsively, "I wish I could go there and run things for you this sum mer! You know I specialized in scientific farmings But of course mother would kick about it." "Oh, well, we'll talk about that at some other time," the physician | said. "Good night." ' He had sown his seed. He was willing to leave it to germinate. (To Be oCntinued)- ffjfc Cra l^kH^rikhh.

When the jars, both inside and out, in every groove, and all about the top fasten ers, are as clean as table glassware, they are in condition for canning use. When the blanched product is ready, empty into a deep dish or basin. Take a hot jar from the jar warming bath, place a clean wet rub ber on top, put a wide-mouthed fun nel in the neck, and, using a large spoon, fill the jar with the fruit or vegetable. To shake down the pack lift the jar and hit the bottom with palm of hand. A spoon or spatula is useful to press down the products in the jar. Soft fruits and berries can be packed as closely as possible with- | out crushing. In general pack to | within one-half inch of the top. This I point is covered fully in the canning | and drying book which the National | War Garden Commission, Washing- ] ton, will send for a 2-cent stamp to 1 cover postage.

Put a level teaspoon of salt in the top of each vegetable filled quart jar, and pour in boiling water to fill but not to overflow. Try to have the water fill the spaces between pieces of product, but it is not es sential to get out small bubbles. For fruits, pour boiling water or boiling syrup into the filled jars. Each cover should be dipped into hot water before placing on the jars. Every jar should be packed, boiling liquid added, cover put on, and top bail put in place, and then the jar put in canner before the next jar is started upon.
