Women who bear children and re-

their systems in advance of baby's
coming. Unless the mother aid;

finds her system unequal to the de-

and no expectant mother should fail
to use it. 1t relieves the pain and

nature Is expanding, prevents numb

l am in love with a girl who
claims to love me. If / marry it
means the poor house for my par
ents, as l. am sole support. Do
you think I ought to ask this girl
for steady company, and count on
marrying some day under the
circumstances? Or is it my duty
to give her up and stay single?-
Anxious.
A.-This is, a hard question to
answer. It seems wrong to tell
you to give up your parents, and
on the other hand it is not right
that you give up your plans for
home of your own with the girl
you love. Is there not a way out
for you? Do you earn enough to
keep up small home for your
parents, and still have one of your
own? This is my only solution,
unless the girl loves you well
enough to go into your home with
the parents-and this is a doubt

Young Minister Somewhat In
the Dark.

Rev Henry r. Rose IN the Newark
Star tells the story OF young min
lister who had recently taken charge
of small parish in Vermont. He
aspired to greater things and large
field, and in the hope that his reputa-
ton would travel beyond the limits OF
the village to which he had been sent
he threw into his sermons all the
force and eloquence at his command.
He was, however, totally unprepared
for what was intended for q compli-
ment, but which was put to him In
such way that 1t left him in doubt
as to the real impression he had made.
One Sunday morning. after an espe-
cially brilliant effort, he was greeted
by an old lady, who was one Of the
most faithful attendants at all serv-
ices. Approaching the young minister.
she said: "Ah. sir, we do enjoy your
sermons so much. they are 30 in
structive. Do you believe #. we never
knew what sin was until you came to

UNIFORMS IN THE NAVY

Both the officers and the crews OF the older
navies used to dress pretty much AZ they
pleased In Nelson's time an attempt was made
to get the officers arrayed with some sort Of
system, but the sailors wore whatever they could
get hold Of.

him on his birthday and he met
them at social functions during the
week.
AS for the admiral himself. he
lives very quietly these days and he
does not introduce many frills in

other. he devotes good share Of
the late afternoon to long carriage

years he has almost abandoned this

partment Annex building and In this
walk, on his birthday. he had as his
companion his only son, regard

little.
The big event OF the day, how
ever, was the admiral's dinner party
In the evening. The most promi-
nent men in the nation gathered
around the festive board and the
president of the United States was
a guest. The dinner was prepared
by the admiral's famous Chi
nese cook. who has been with him
ever since the stirring days at Ma
Mia bay, and who is famous for his
appetizing dishes. The informal an
niyersary banquet-with its gor-
