 In his letter Senator Teller said that he is personally in favor of the issue of small notes of limited legal tender secured by silver, but that since the purchase of silver to secure such notes would advance the price of the metal to a figure where the government of India might decide to melt down it's rupees and sell the metal it is neces- sary for the currency commission here to know what the attitude of the h. dian government would be He said on this point:
 Will that government Undia) interest it. self officially in our inquiry into a ques- tion of the highest importance for the finances of India?

ROAD TO TOMORROW
BY MARGERY doom.

Dear Margery Doom:
am a girl of "a and greatly in love
with a handsome gentleman two years
my senior. Recently he took me to one
of the parks. and I noticed him, while
we were hRving ice cream there, paying
a lot of attentionsto another girl.
This girl, 4 must admit, started him
to- paying attention to her, and he
seemed to like her right away Yester-
day l was toidshe was seen with this
girl and that he had been introduced by
a friend of his. / would not like to lose
him. Kindly help me, as you have
others. HELEN.
It was exceedingly rude of this man
to pay marked attention to another
girl when he was with you. Tell him
plainly that you do not intend to put
up with such conduct. To tell you the
truth, I do not think he is worth your
love, and would advise you to forget
him. 1t will be hard at first, but in the
end you will be glad. When he finds
that you do not care for him it may
bring him back to you.

HE TOOK OFFENSE.

Dear Margery Doom:
There is a young nan who used to
come to see me and write to me very
often. Then II day 1 SEN him a
funny postal and put his name on it.
He stopped speaking to me and told a
friend of mine that 1t was a very UNI
ladylike thing to- do. The picture
showed n due with a cane. DO you
think l owe him an apopogy? Il like
him, but am inclined to think he really
Is a silly dude. or he would not get
mad about such a thing. Please tell
me what to do. He said that he
wanted to come to see me again but
would not until he heard from me.
4 AGNES H.
I would not bother with him If I were
you. He Is a very silly young man.
You might, If you like, write him a
note and tell him that you are very
sorry he took offense at what was only
meant for a bit of fun. 1t is probable
that he Is only waiting for an oppor-
tunity to call on 0 again, and will be
glod to answer your note.

at a time on bread board, and with the
hand roll a long round roll about FIVE
inches thick. Then with a sharp knife
cut off in small pieces about one-half
inch thick; place in baking pan and
give plenty of room to swell or spread.

Sauerkraut.-Take "a number of
heads of white cabbage as crispy a.
possible and cut into fine long shreds.
Place in layers in jars or kegs, strew-
ing salt over each layer, using for
twenty cabbages a cup of salt and a
tablespoonful of cream of tartar. Press
the mass down with a heavy weight,
pour in a little water. Put some of the
big outside leaves of cabbage on top,
place a cover on the jar and on this a
heavy weight.
This preserves the sauerkraut. Set
in a cellar or other place where the
temperature is equitable and In a week
or two the sauerkraut will be ready.
Fancy grades of sauerkraut are pro-
duced by pouring white wine into the
kegs after they are filed.
Apples chopped fine are also some
times mixed with the cabbage, using
one-half the quantity of apples.

wv POSTED 1ve-and-thirty miles,
w then stopped for a couple of
hours to rest, and wait for a
night coach running northward.
On getting into this vehicle we were
fortunate enough to find the fourth in
side place not occupied. Mrs. Baggs
showed her sense Of the freedom from
restraint thus obtained by tying a
huge red comforter round her head like
a turban. and Immediately falling fast
asleep. This gave Alicia and me fun

~versation was for the most part of that

It, however, was an exception to this
general rule. 1t had a very positive
influence on my fortunes, and it is,
therefore, I hope. of sufficient impor-
lance to bear being communicated to
the reader.
We had changed horses for the fourth
time, had seated ourselves comfortably
in our places, and had heard Mrs. Bags

OUR CORNER
CANDLE

Ut OLD a lighted candle eight or ten
inches from your face n blow
" gently at the flame; of course,
the flame will bend over away from you
as If it were trying to leave the wick.
Blow harder and the flame will g. out;
that is to say, 1t will leave the wick
and disappear entirely.
f. Now, let us think about that a little.
When you kindle a fire in the CRATE
the more draught you give it the bet
ter it burns. Blow on it n you will
see; or get a pair of old-fashioned bel
lows, such as your grandmother used,
and the harder you work them the more
quickly the wood ignites and the higher
leaps the flame.
Why does this blowing on the fire
make it burn better? Simply because
you give 1t more oxygen, and oxygen
is what fire lives on.
But in the case of the candle, when
YOU blow hard on it, the flame, instead
of burning more brightly, goes out al
together. Do you see the reason? Per-
haps this is 1t. The flame depends upon
O sufficient amount of heat to make
the oxygen ignite and a sudden or hard
blowing of the breath on it drives the
heat away, so that there is not enough
left to support combustion.
But there is a way to blow on the
candle, whe within a few inches of
your face, without blowing it out; in
deed, you can make the flame incline
toward you instead of away from you.
Take a piece of wire about ten inches
in length and bend it at right angles
in the middle. Twist one end of it into
a ring that win fit over the candle and
bend the other end into a downward
loop that may be squeezed together as
a clamp. Into this clamp put a piece of
cardboard about six inches in diameter
and then slip the ring over the candle.
If you have adjusted them right, the
cardboard will be exactly between your
mouth and the flame when you hold the
up before YOU face.
Now, blow on the cardboard as hard
as you can, but you cannot blow the
out; on the contrary, the flame
will incline coward you, just as if some
n were blowing 1t in that direction.
The reason is that the air you blow on
the cardboard rebounds and carries
with it some of the air around the
flame, and this, of course, brings the
flame toward the board.

The best remedy I can give you is t.
anoint your face with cold cream be,

U the cream well into the pores and
wipe off whatever remains and dusi
the a over with a little good toilet
powder. After being exposed to tn.
sun use the following lotion, being
careful to first battle the face with
lukewarm water and CASTLE soap:
Rose water, 1 pint. @e at7f1fi ~
Pulverized borax. v ounce. =
Strained lemon Juice, 1 ounce.
Use this freely to mop the face with

Dear Madame Alta:
Please give me a remedy to make
my eyebrows heavier and darker. DO
you recommend the use OF the eye
brow pencil? I am a blonde and my
brows are light, both in growth and
color. and would like to make them
heavier. AMELIA X.
1 would no advise you to use the
eyebrow pencil. 1t is easily detected
and gives n an artificial look. Brush
your eyebrows with a soft toothbrush,
which should be kept for the purpose,
and at night rub into the brows a
little vaseline. This should be applied
with the finger tip and fare taken not
to spread 1t beyond the line of the
brow. This with not only cause the
brows to grow darker and heavier, but
1t will add the 1ustre to them which
adds to the attractiveness of the facs.

Alicia's voice sounded firmer as she

she and her whole family would not at
tend, for what reason or cause I do
not know, except that about three
weeks agc I requested my uncle to take
my sister to live with him and got no
reply. My sister is Is years old. This
aunt is the same relation to the bride
as I am. Thanking you in advance,
