LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER.

Lear MISS fdlI1dA.
| am eighteen and have been go
ing with a young man of nineteen
for little over year. He claims
he loves me and love him dearly.
He promised me d diamond ring for
an engagement ring but now his
mother says he can't marry until
his sister gets married. and she has
no fellow yet. My mother scolds
me every day. Tell me what l
shall do. F.B.
A scolding every day is a trying or
deal, both for your mother and your
self.
End it by putting a stop to all need
for rebuke. There is no prospect OF
marriage; he can't afford a ring. Lei
there be no engagement
In five years he will be, I hope, ir
position to buy you a ring regardless
of his sisters unappreciated righ+.

ADVICE 10 HE LOVELORN Y y ByB

a man for whom you do not care.
and you do not care to walk home
with him, please tell how to get rid
of him. PERPLEXED.
The most honorable way would be
to tell him you do not want his
company. but if you lack the moral
courage to do this. you may turn in
at some friends house, or turn back to
your home, or stop the next car that is
passing and get on. There are many
pretexts you might USE but the best
way is to tell him the truth. If he per-
sists, it will finally come to that.

MEDICAL ASSOCIATION TO

National Body Of Physicians. s''&

The popularity Of the National Med
ical association was strikingly shown
at the last annual meeting from the
number of invitations received from
various sources asking for the conyen-
don in 1914. Among the cities which
sent invitations through their repre-
sentatives were st. Louis. Atlanta. St.
Paul and Raleigh. N. G. Az the hast
session was held In Nashville. Tenn.
the association decided to accept the
invitation from Raleigh and will hold
tn sixteenth annual meeting In the
iatter city in.l914.
DR.. W. G. Alexander. secretary OF
the organizati ton, In a recent open let
ter paid high tribute to the local en-
tertainment committee and to the citi-
Gems generally Of Nashville for the gen
erous hospitality shown at the meeting
held In that city. DR.. Alexander also
comments literally on the work Of the
session performed by individuals inthe
various sections Of the program. such
az clinic. dental. surgical and literary.
The paper read by Dr.. A. w. Dumas
Of Natchez. Miss. however, on "Vice
Disease" was conceded by all to have
been the most highly instructive and
valuable to the profession Of any yet
heard on the subject. So pleased were
the members that they requested the
executive board to have the matter
edited and printed for distribution
among the laity. The surgical features
OF the Nashville session without ex-
ception were the best conducted since
the inception Of the association.

To the Race Loving Women and Men
OF the United States.
The Constitutional League OF Okla
homa with Lawyer William Harrison,
of Oklahoma City as It's leading at
torney is contesting with vigor the

senger law. II he succeeds 1t will put
an end to all Jim Crowism. so far as
