YOU ARE NOT IN LOVE.
Dear Miss Fairfax :

Dear Miss FAIRFAX.
l am 90 and in love with young
man of 10. We were engaged to be
married. but this young man Is
making only $50 week, and told
me to wait that in the course of
four or five years he would be max
ing $50 or $40 a week. There is
another young man of 26 who is
making $12 a week. | love both of
these young men dearly and do
YOU think 1t is proper for me to wait
for the young man five years, or
marry the young man who is now
making s12? UNDECIDED.
Don't become engaged to either, for
the reason that you don't really love
either one well enough to marry him
If you did, there would be no room In
your heart for doubt or argument.

HE DOESN'T LOVE YOU.

, Dear Miss Fairfax:
| am nineteen and have a great
many gentlemen friends, but | love
one very much and he seems to
care for me.
We meet quite often at different
parties, where he pays a lot Of at
tention to me and always takes
me home, but he never asks If he
can call for me. My girl friends
asked him quite a few times to
bring me. but he either says he has
another engagement or stays home
without an excuse.
ANXIOUS.
If he cared for you he would look fo
an opportunity to be with you. In
stead of that he seems to shun 1t.
1t is a good rule for a girl to OBJ
serve to refuse to let a man escort he
home If he didn't have enough gal.

him take you home next time,

Improvement of Sanitary COndi-
tiOnS.

If the health of community is
to be preserved or safeguarded
from infectious diseases which
thrive in dirt, the strictest Of the
anitary rules must be observed, and
where neglected must be enforced
fairly but fearlessly.
1t is only by cleanliness that good
healthful conditions can be main
tanned, but how frequently is this
requirement disregarded?
1t would seem that it should be
just as we'll to be cleanly as to per-
nit the accumulation of filth which
is developed by inspections of the
health authorities and must then be
abated.
II is conceded that in every COM
munity the neglectful or the care
less give little heed to the import
ance OF sanitation, especially in con-
nection with the welfare of en-
ployes in factories and in establish
ments, but the State and the local
board have determined on a better
ment of such conditions, which in
some cases is discreditable in the
superlative degree.
If we would guard against conta-
sious and infection diseases, the
first and the only requisite is in the
observance and in the enforcement
of the rules and the laws bearing
on health.
1t is unnecessary to indulge in an
epistle on subject which should
appeal directly to every citizen, and
instead Of criticising DR.. Bowling
and the health authorities, State
and local, We should be praiseful of
their efforts to keep Shreveport
clean. not clean in places which are
discerned by the eyes but every
where. =
In Shreveport as elsewhere, there
are the few who are denunciatory
of the health requirements. These
thrive best in filth, but as they are
menace to good health. they must
be compelled to conform to health
full requirements or must be made
to pay the penalty.
One of the best indications of the
standard of community is in the
strict observance of the law of san
itation.
Health is wealth.
What is wealth instead. of health?

grave Of the Pulfords."
Without answering Harley measured
the depth of the spring with his eye
and picked up long dead branch
from the ground. He plunged it down
into the sand, and together we watch
ed it as it was sucked down into the
nastfest bed Of quicksand any one ever
saw. We rolled a large rock from the
orchard. 1t must have weighed $50
pounds, and it disappeared as IL by
magic into the cruel nav OF the
spring. 1t did not need the discovery
Of an old fashioned blue and white
dish near the spring nor a coil Of rot
ted rope near by to substantiate our
theory. We were positive that we had
arrived at the solution of the PuIford
mystery, and so without spending the
night In the deserted house we packed
OUR traps and forsook it as the full
moon was rising beyond the elms.
When we asked Hiram Pulford about
the quicksand spring he was much
surprised and confessed that 1t was
the first time he had ever heard Of the
dangerous spot. As the spring was on
neignborfng land, which had never
been cultivated, 1t Is probable that the
vicinity of the spring was little known
and its danger hardly guessed at
In view of my perspicuity In finding
the clew to this mystery Harley t0ok
me to ball game the next Saturday
afternoon.
