He Is a Hard Drinker.

Dcdl HldISely DooHs
I am a girl of q and am engaged to a
young man of rs. We have known each
other since childhood and I know that
he loves me. I am to receive my en-
gagement ring at Christmas time. But
as time goes on, although I love him, I
often think I will have to give him up.
He is a Woodworking fellow and also a
hard drinking fellow, and that is why
I am thinking Of giving him up. I
have never seen him drunk, but have
heard and know that it is tru from
my friends. He has promised me never
to touch it. but In a short time he goes
back again. I am tired of telling him,
as I know 1t will do no good. Do you
advise me to let him go?
/ know that 1t will almost break my
heart and his, too, but I think Of the
future. IF ne breaks his word to me

A Good Nail Powder.
Madame Alta;

Dear Madame Alta:
Will you kindly publish in your valu-
able and interesting column a simple
recipe for making nail powder, as 1
do not like the kind you buy. Also
would you mind telling me what to use
for hard, brittle nails. which are too
white to look nice? ANXIOUS.
A good nail powder is made of one
half ounce of powdered talcum, one
half ounce of boric acid, one-half ounce
of powdered starch, twenty drops of
carmine n a half ~teaspoonful of pow
dered orris root. Use white vaseline to
soften the nails.

for doing so, and she should search
only the pocket which she knows

hand, if she is jealous, or even
curious, she has no reason whatever

her husband and trusts him, she
would never think of touching
them. What would she say If he

stick. Take great care not to get the
vaseline in your eyes.
The next morning rinse the vaseline
off thoroughly with salt water. This
will strengthen both eyes and lashes.
A t~easpoonful of salt to a glass of
water is just about strong enough.
Never clip your eyelashes. You may
ruin them. If they are uneven and
ragged have the operation performed

Don't do it. Let all advances come
from him. I advise you to try to be-
come a little more Interested In your

District Temperance Leader
Saws He Is Not Seeking
Prohibition,

Prohibition OF the sale OF alcoholic
drinks in the District Of Columbia Is
not desired at this time by the Anti
Saloon League of America Instead OF
prohibition, the league seeks legislation
which will give the people OF the Dis
trict the right to close or keep open the

This Is set forward in the following
communication. copies OF which have
been sent to members of the District
committees il Congress by William H
Anderson, acting legislative superin-
tendent for the league:
Since members OF the District OF Co
lumbia committee are quoted in the
press reports as opposed to a prohibI-
ton bill for the District, to avoid mis-
understanding I desire to state, as act
ing legislature superintendent OF the
National Anti-Saloon League, and also
as superintendent of its official auxil-
iary in the District of Columbia. that
the Anti-Saloon League Is not asking
for prohibition for the District.
THE league is a practical organiza-
tion for securing results. Il aims to go
no further and no faster than a normal

the development and demonstration of
such sentiment under legislation allow
ing the people Of the District 10 close
saloons in their respective localities is
wiser than premature Congressional en-
actment of absolute prohibition, the
