In the average American house
hold Macaroni is far too seldom
served. 1t is such a splendid food
and one that is so well liked that
it should be served at one meal
every day. Let it take the place
of potatoes. Macaroni has as
great food value as potatoes and is
ever so much more easily digested
Faust Macaroni Is made from richly
glutinous, American grown Durum
wheat. 1t is every bit as finely fla

LEARN TO LOVE HIM LESS.
Dear Miss Fairfax;

very much in love with a young
man four years my senior. ] know
this young man likes me very much,
but still he goes with another girl
| love this man dearly. Please tell
me how | can win him. LOUISE.
There is no rule by which girl can
compel a mans love, but of this | am
sure: That the girl who is Indifferent
to men is more admired by them than
one who confirms, even TO himself. that
she is madly in love.
Let him go with the other girl, and
if you have opportunity, encourage his
attentions to her. That will bring him
to your side quicker than if you sought
to discourage him.

vestigating the Maine copper mining
field and their engineers were on the

When the collapse of the Secretan
Syndicate closed the Bluehill copper
mines in their first promotion stage
there was 20 feet of ore carrying more
than so pounds of copper per ton in
clearly defined veins. This was a
ore carrying sulphur and
iron in proportions now found to be
very valuable in modern smelling
The Douglas mine was operating more
thon 100 feet deep in 1880 and was
planning to go to a depth of 600 feet
On the 25-cent copper market in 1907

was unwatered and the ore was found
to be in place in the bottom of the
shaft at a depth exceeding 200 feet
and only the fall in copper from p
