tastes pleasantly.
Pinex is the most valuable concen-

the natural pine elements which are so
healing to the membranes. Other prep

This plan of making cough syrup with

!: Beyond Rule or Reason
BY Beatrice Fairfax

doubt with which this girl meets every
avowal Of his affection.
That he sees her only once a week
does not in the least weaken his love
That strange sentiment has way of
growing when fed on absence. Often.
the skeptics say, it attains more rapid
growth than when one Is constantly
with the object of ones affections.
If business keeps him from her, it is
to his credit that he finds his interests
there. If she suspects it is some other
woman. then that suspicion is founded
solely on jealousy, and can not be taken
into serious consideration.
There is no way to find II he really
loves her. That she doubts him, gives
him reason for suspecting that she
cares nothing for him.
There is no scale. no measuring cup
or string, no geometrical rule, for find
ing out just the sentiment she has in
spired.
Why not have little faith and be-
lieve him? If she finds she can't have
that, it is better never to see him again.
Little doubts, during a courtship,
have a way of growing into tormentins
ones after marriage.

II am a young girl of nineteen, and

me he loves me and no one else, as he
has had only one girl before he met me
and she is dead. My conscience, how
ever will not allow me to believe what
he says is true, as lie sees me only
few hours on Saturday afternoons and
tells me that the rest of his time is oc-
cupied. How can | find out the truth,
whether he means what he says in tell
ing me he loves ME. as he distinctly
tells mo So"
Facts and figures may be relied on in
every other problem, but love is beyond
the most precise calculations of the
most skilled mathematician.
This man sees his beloved only once
week. At such a time he explains he
can not see her oftener. But he devotes
the time he is with her to telling her he
loves her
1t takes very little for love to feed on.
In the days they are apart his love
