Dear Miss Greyi l am in trou-
BILE and want advice. l have been
engaged since last February to a
young man to whom my folks are
Opposed. We were to be married
next month, but l wrote to him
that l could not, as my parents
were unwilling.
There Is another young man
whom I have been going with for
two months. I already love him
much better than the one I have
been going with since February,
and my parents do not object to
my going with him. He asked me
to marry him, and I told him to
give me three or four weeks to
think 1t over. He Is 81 years old

The other one is only Is. Which
one would you advise me to drop
Would 1t be doing the first one a
wrong for me to marry the last
one? LORETTA.
A.-Judging from your letter
and the variable qualities of your
affections. I suspect you will be
doing the former a kindness in
stead of wrong by marrying the
latter.
Dear Miss Grey: Please tell me
some way to rid my place of rats?
How can I remove pimples on the
face? P. D.
A.-Put tar all around the
holes and spray with powdered
tunslaked lime. Use a strong bel
low and spray as far as possible
into the holes.
Avoid oils and creams. Wash
the face daily with hot CASTLE
soap suds. Rinse in hot, then in
cold water. A simple diet with
plenty of fresh fruit and light IA
cial massage will help.
Dear Miss Grey: I do a good
deal of fancy work, including
drawnwork. and great many peo-
pie ask me to do work for them
I refuse because I do not know
what to charge. Can you help me
out? READER.

advise you about prices without

MARKHAM
GETS AFTER
ATTY. BIXBY
Village Attorney of West
Hammond Gets in the
Way of Hammond Law
yer's Path to Glory and
Throws Obstacles Therein.

When Attorney H. A. Bixby of West
Hammond attempts to prove his asser-
tions in which he charges certain West
Hammond officials with grating in the
matter of the petition of the village
board TO have certain assessments con
firmed, he will have to clear his path
to glory of some charges which Attor-
ney 8. K. Markham, the village attor-
ney, will make against him. Among
other things. Attorney Bixby has Civ
en- statement to the world that he had
filed an answer to the petition. On the
other hand. Attorney Markham, re-
viewing the various charges, says:
In the first place, Attorney Bixby
has fled no an on behalf Of any prop
erty owner in any of the five proceed
ings pending in court. A careful exam
ination of the records fails to show
that he represents anybody of record.
Colleague Files nn Appearance.
Attorney William Irving, his col
league, has entered a naked legal ap-
pearance, but has filed no objections as
yet. The time for filing objections ex-
pired on the 21st day of June, and at
the personal request of Attorneys Irv-
ing and Bixby, I went out of my way
by entering into an arrangement with
them, not of record, to permit them
to file their objections at any time
whiting ten days after the 21st No
answer will be filed by Bixby or any
body else interested in Mr.. BIxby and
his clients for the reason that there is
no such thing as fling an answer to
the petition of a municipality to have
an assessment con6rued
Attorney Bixby, of course, is not
licensed to practice in Illinois and,
therefore, cannot represent anyone In
our state, much less practice law il
any objection is made to his so doing.
Petition Wish of Taxpayers.
1T is extraordinary that a resident
of Vets Hammond, in close touch with
all proceedings of the village board,
should be ignorant of the fact that
public hearings were had on all of the
improvements and that before the pc
tition to confirm the assessment for the
improvements was filed, the board of
local improvement had the matter IN
before the property owners time and
again, and that at the request Of the
property owners expressed at the pub
lie hearings. the nature and character
or the improvements were changed in
respect Of making some of the improve
ments, such as 1o-inch pavements in
Instead Of s-inch pavements, etc"
Attorney Markham answers another
charge by Attorney Bixby in the fol-
lowing words:
What About Those Erasures.
Brother Bixby asserts that eratsures
were made on the petition after II wa g
hled. If this is fact it is a serious
reflection on the clerk of the county
court Brother Bixby ought to call his
attention to it. When the case is called
IN court shall make every effort to
bring Brother Bixby before the Judge
OF the county court for the purpose Of
explaining what IS really a most seri-
Gus allegation, rejecting not only on
the clerk. but on the counsel filing the
petition"

Sunday or no, the show was good and
