AS A RULE. NO.
Dear Miss Fairfax.


| am nineteen years old and have
been going with a young man one
year my senior eighteen months, to
whom l am secretly engaged. He
will not be in a position to marry
me for five or six years
Do you approve of such a long
engagement? ANXIOUS.
Long engageemnts are so unfair to
the girls that l do not, as rule, ap-
prove of them. The man must be con-
stant beyond all dreams to make such a
time of waiting a happy time. Does
this describe your lover?
Neither are secret engagements de-
sirable.

Lard soaked pies have caused
a world of indigestion, and pies
therefore have been wonderfully
abused, and in some cases tabooed.
When properly made with Cotto-
lene and eaten at suitable times,
pies are no more indigestible for
a normal person than are many
other foods which so far have
escaped this criticism.
CottoIene makes light and deli

Protection for Armenians.

In a news letter from Jerusalem,
printed in The Living Church mil
waukee), information is given Of addi-
tional .massacres of Armenians in Kur-
distan last summer which have hardly
been reported in this country. In this
connection The Living Church says
editorially: "One feels that in the
final settlement of questions between
the Turk and Christendom, this matter
of protection to Armenians ought to be
included. True, the Balkan states
themselves can hardly claim to extend
their protectorate over these perse-
cuted Asiatic Christians. They have
no common bonds of race or even of
communion with Armenians as they
have between themselves and Mace
domains and Albanians. Here is one
belated thing that the powers can yet
do, before the Turk receives his clean
bill of health. They are bound by
their treaties to guarantee safety to
Armenians, and these afflicted people
have no cousins who can arise and do
for them what the Balkan states have
done for Christians in European
Turkey"

Falk=FiScher Concert.

Under the auspices of the Epworth
League of the Methodist church Mr..
Eugene Falk. the eminent violinist and
Mr.. Arthur Ficher, the distinguished
pianist, will give recital at the High
School Auditorium on Thursday night
January 16.
In May, 1912, Falk completed a five
months tour of the United States,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast,
and a subsequent foer weeks tour of
Mexico Of his work there were no
two opinions. Appreciation and praise
were couched in the most extravagant
terms on all sides, and his artistic sue
cess recorded phenomenal.
Falk's reputation as a violinist of
high ability and rank was first estab-
lished by his successful career in the
prominent musical centers of the old
world and it was the generous recogni-
ton accorded him and his art in Berlin,
Vienna, Paris and London that first
commanded the attention of musical
circles here.
Mr. Arthur Fischer, Falk's co-part.
ner on the program, is pianist of dis
tinguished attachments. His tone has
warmth, it has color and every promise
to reach the realm of renown. He
plays with all the dignity, fnish and
breadth of tone one might critically de-
mand.

Brings Suit Against Eshelby Co.

The Burley Tobacco Society brought
suit Monday in the Common Pleas
Court in Cincinnati against the E. D.
Eshelby Tobacco Co. to recover $12,-
563 30. This amount the Burley pc
tition states is due it on a contract
made by the E. y. Eshelby Co. with
the society for a lot of tobacco. The
society in its petition states that in
November, 1908, it entered into an
agreement with the Eshelby Company
for the sale and delivery of tobacco to
the company on the terms and condi-
tions of contract the society says it
rendered to the Eshelby Co. four lots
of tobacco containing altogether 81
hogsheads. the price of which under
the contract was the amount that is
asked for in the petition. The petition
further alleges that the Eshelby Co.
refused to carry out its part of the
contract.

A meeting OF the thoroughbred
breeders has been called for Lexing-
ton today at which time a successor to
Major f. A. Daingerfeld, a member
of the Kentucky Racing Association
will be selected by the horsemen and
recommended to Gov. McCreary for
his approval and appointment.
A breeder will be selected first be-
cause he is considered TO be best able
to represent those who produce thor
oughbreds generally and are more 10y
ally devoted to the interest of the
horse than any other. and secondly be-
cause the law that made the commits
sion possible provides that at least
three members of the board must be
breeders and at present the four men,
bers are equally divided. there being
two breeders and two that are not.
When the Commission was appointed
nearly all were breeders but Col. Mil
ton Young has since resigned and the
resignation of Col. E. F. Clay, of
Bourbon. was followed by the appoint
ment of Charles F. Granger, of LOUIS
vile. The other members of the COM
mission Messcs. George C.. Long and
Johnson N. Camden are extensive
breeders.
There have been a number of men
prominently mentioned for the posi-
tion, which include Thomas Hart Tai

a member of the breeding firm of Tai
bot Bros. being associated with his
brother, Mr.. w. g. Talbot. brought
out some of the finest thoroughbreds
ever produced in Bourbon. Since rae
ing was killed IN New York the firm
abandoned the turf.
There is strong following for Mr..
Talbot for in addition to his fitness for
the position, Bourbon county. which,

oughbreds, has had no representative
