TRY TO FORGET HIM.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
l am a girl of sixteen. Last
year l met a young man on one
OF the excursions that l worked
on. He told me that he would
do anything for me. 1 care for
him very much. He is a college
man and well educated. Lately
he shows that he doesn't care for
me- He is about four years my
senior. c. B.
1 am afraid you are crying your
heart away for a man who does not
care for you. l wish 1 could tell you
how sorry 1 am.
But you are wasting the happiest
time of your life in tears and must
quit it. Try to forget him. A good
way is to remember that tickle man
is worth no girls regrets, and that
somewhere a better man is waiting
for you, and a happier face will bring
him to you much sooner than a long
one.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am keeping company with
young man with the intentions ~
marrying him. We are of differ

necessary for me to be married in
this mans church when I object
and he is very much opposed 10
my objections? VIOLET
1t is not necessary to be married in
his church, or in yours. or in aov
church. That is matter of tast.
and when the contracting parties dis
agree it also becomes a matter of ar.
bitration. If he loves his own way
more than he loves you, you viii have
to be married in his church or there
will be no wedding. AS a rule, the
marriage occurs in the BRIDES church
and rightly so.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and prescribed
local remedies. and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co.. Toledo,
Ohio is the only Constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

fails to cure Send for circulars and test-
