Dear Miss Grey: A num-
Der of us mothers would
like to know what can be
done with a woman who runs
store and sells tobacco to
minors, after being asked by
the parents several times not
to do so?
She pays no attention to
the requests made by parents
and teacher.
There is one boy in school
who is nervous wreck
from the use of tobacco; but
she continues to sell it to
him. If one speaks to her
about it, she abuses them.
She has been in the little
store several years, and has
made more trouble in that
time than Is usual in
lifetime. She is dishonest
and ignorant to a marked de-
gree. Yours for the great
work.

TIE BOYS.
A.-'This Is u very trying mat
ter l know. While ! do not ap-
prove for a moment of the woman
in the store ! am as sorry for her
as l am for the mothers and the
little boys.
You say she is ignorant. IL she
were not so, she would not be
guilty of doing as she is. Have
you gone TO her i'm love? l know
1t is not easy; but have you?
Have You put the case up to her
in the light of what she would
do IL the little boys were her own
II she will not listen
when you approach her i'm a low
ing spirit, thin I should advise
you TO see the juvenile judge. He
will advise you of the best course
to persue by law.
Dear Miss Grey: If child
is born on the ocean, and the
parents of the child should
not be the same nationality
as the flag under which the
ship sails, is the child sub
ject of the country of the
parents, or the country whose
flag the ship was carrying at
the time of the child's birth?
A. N.
A.-That depends, as do most
things, on the circumstances. If
the parents are simply travelling
for pleasure with no intention of
making their residence in the
the flag represents, then
the child is a citizen of the coun-
try of the parents; but IL the
parents are going to the country
which the flag represents, with
the intention of remaining there,
the child is considered born on
that nations territory, and is a
citizen OF the country to which
the flag OH the ship belongs.
Dear Miss Grey: Will you
please advise me how to do
punch work, and also give
me a recipe for fancy sand
witches, mostly meat. Yours

Dear Miss Grey: 1 am
stranger in the city; but
have heard of your good
work. So, take the liberty
of writing you.
am a girl of 81, and very
anxious to learn telegraphy.
Can you tell me If there is
night school; or will / have
to learn as an apprentice?
Thank you for your time.
A HAIR-DRESSER.
Al have IL from an experi-
enced telegrapher that the best
way to learn telegraphy Is to go
IN as an apprentice. You will be
paid small salary and be re-
luired to do other work while
II you decide on a school ask
a local telegraph office to recon-
mend one.
