present ne is making $13 a week;
he is a section hand for a very
large railroad, but has fine chance
for advancement. Do you consider
his small wages and@age a detri-
ment to our marriage? He wants

He is not a man OF honor. No man Of

with him if he loves her in the right
way. You must never see him again,
or hold any communication with him.

For Cracked Lips.

AS the cold weather approaches l get
more and more complaints from girls
whose lips begin to crack, because the
skin is so very thin. If you wet your
lips, running the tongue over them as
most people do, on cold, dry day. they
will crack almost Immediately. You
should anoint them several times dur
ing the day with old fashioned cam
phor ice, which is made of lamb tallow
and gum camphor melted together.
Plain vaseline is good, and some people
can use rosewater and glycerne in
equal parts.
People who have very dry, pale lips
can remedy this defect by massaging
the lips with a little vaseline or any
other emollient
Generally, however. the condition de-
notes Indigestion or anaennia, and the
constitution must be built up before the
lips will get red again,
