STOPS HIM EVERY DAY
Dear Miss Libbey:-

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 What can do with a girl who stops me every day at o'clock as I go. to work. making love to rne2 She cries because I went with her a while, spent money on her. taking her to shows. I am getting tired of it. How can stop it, without being rough? She says her folks put the idea to her. saying: "I am her mate, am. getting disgust ed. I told the whole family I don't want her. Is she beside herself?
 JOHN
 Try to avoid her, if possible. by go- ing home in different direction. Or take another young man along. If she repeats her. conversation say po- i1tely: kindly excuse me, am in such a hurry,' A man can easily keep out of a girls path if he really desires to do SO. By keeping a sharp lookout he will be able to see her first, some distance away. He can walk faster than she, turn the nearest cor ner, step into a nearby cigar store or cafe until she passes. avoid her by scores of ways, thereby escaping the discontinue of hurting her feelings Use tact in breaking off with the young girl whose only fault is having placed her affections and hopes upon you

REMEDIES FOR
 THE SILVERFIsH
obnoxious hifdiIsg Ilffsgcff f '1s1sat Feeds ou Starch, Destroys Books And
 Clothing.


 Housewives who are annoyed bT damage done by insects to their books papers, clothing and other articles containing starch, are advised by the U. s. Department of Agriculture to spread a poisoned paste upon bits of cardboard and tuck these Into crevices in booksheIVes, backs of rnanteIs, under washboards. and in the bottom of bureau and bookcase drawers A thin, boiled starch paste should be prepared by adding to the flour from 8 to 5 per cent powdered white arsenic (poison}. and then using sufficient water to boil into c thin paste. This should be spread upe on cardboard and allowed to dry The preparation however is poisonous to human beings as well as to insects and it must be used with the utmost care.
 The insect which does the damage is known by a number Of popular names, such as silverfish. silver louse, silver witch, sugarfish. etc It owes these names to it's peculiar fishHke form and it's sca1y, g1istenIng body As long ago as 1865 it was described as "a very small, silYery, shining worm or moth which I found much con versant among books and papers It is about one-third of an inch in length tapering from near the head to the extremity of the body, and somewhat resembles a worm in appearance It's
  ute scales. which give it it's shiny appearance, and it's six legs enable it to run about with great rapidity.
 The silverfish is one Of the most serious pests known to libraries, for it is particularly fond Of the paste used in the binding of books. Heavy glazed paper is also attractive to it. Starched clothing, linen or curtains may be seriously damaged if left un- disturbed for any considerable period of time, and the insect also feeds up on the starch paste applied to wall paper. By eating this. it causes the wall paper to scale off. casionaIly it gets into vegetable drugs or siuli- lar material which is left undisturbed for long periods and it is an open question whether or it ever at tac7xs carpets and pIush-covered fur niture. A somewhat similar insect is commonly called in England a fire brat because of it's fondness for ovens and firepIaces, where the heat would destroy other iEssct1
 Among the remedies for this house hold pest in addition to the poisoned paste is pyrethrun- Wherever unss can be applied, as on bookshelves, it furnishes one of the best means for getting rid of the insect. Sodium fluorid, which is now recognized as one of the most efficient roach DOW ders, will probably also be equally ef- fective against the silverfish. It may be- dusted by hand or applied with a powder blower wherever the silver fish is likely to occur. Frequent handling and airing of starched cioJa- ing and similar objects will probs.hly be suficient ltof prevent injury to these unless they are stored away in damp houses.
 This insect is described in detail in a new Farmers Bulletin of the de- partuent, No 6s1, which may be had free on application.

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 Your love topics interest me am a girl of IT. I met a young man two years older than I am three months ago He says he loves me, as I do in return, dearly. I find he does not go with other girls. True, he always has shown love for me. Lately he's not on time if he appoints an evening to visit Nor does he care to take me out for a good time. We quarrel a. little, he not caring to make up with to make up first. FIe speaks to some girls and does not notice me. I feel can love nobody else. I am in tears. Please advise.

Summer Acquaintances

The ease with which people make acqua1ntances during the vacation season is proverbia1 You may, meet a person on a steamship on a long distance rail- journey. or at a sum mer hotel, and become so friendly that you feel you had known him all your lie. You exchange SintiTnate ex- periences You part with the convic- fion that wou have made new friend and that the relation will be a perma- nenet resource.
 After you get home you write to his business office and the letter may never be answered. If it is a woman you meet her on the street and she does not recognize you. Nt
 These experiences give rise to a. thousand Jibes at the fick1eness sof the summer girl.'' Young men are scarce at the summer resorts. They may earn but s2 a day and may mere partment store. But if they dress neatly and with some approach to style, if they dance and play tennis moderately well, their social aspira- tions can climb high for the moment They may experience some very sem young women But the game is up when the two weeks vacation is gone. and the rubber is never played.
 The secret of it is that when rpeo- pie get away among strangers, they are more their own natural selves. They associate with people who inter est them, regardless of prudential consi deratioris At home worldly thoughts return to power. People who are socially ambitious prefer those who are or seem likely to be socially helpful
 Of course the world is full of sim pie hearted people, whom such artffi- cial cons1derations never influence. They are themselves always. whether at home or abroad, and are not moved by the 6so-caI1ed ssultcrior considera- stions.''
 IT. some sections a more general spirit of cordially to strangers pre- walls. But for the most part, the ac- quaintances that one makes while travelling are ships that pass in the night and soon drop out of one's life. It often seems regrettable but life is too busy and hurried for many of it's conta cts to prove fruitful.

One cup cheese one egg and from -one-qrzaE=Eer to one half cup of sugar are good propor- lions for a, cheese cake, but two eggs to a; cup of cheese is better A bit of cream improves the texture. and the cake is fine if the cheese is sifted usually. The lemon havoring, juice and rind, which many people use. does not make so pa1ata5bIe a cake to my mind, as one favored simply with a. little more nutmeg. A tablespoon or a little more Of four may be added to every cup of cheese if it is rather damp.
