Letter from a Man Who Wants to Get
Married

In the July Woman's Home Compan-
ion two interesting letters are published
-one entitled, "The Girls Side of it,"
and the other "The Mans Side of It,"
Each OF these letter-writers wants to get
married but states the obstacles in the
way. The editors of the Companion say
that they are unable to answer these
letters and they invite readers to con-
tribute answers. A part of the mans
letter follows:

Fight for Austria

| Rome. June 2A-The Austrian fortress
of Malborghetto is now practically sur
rounded. Italian Alpinsts have captured
nearly all the positions around the town
which is undergoing terrific lombard
ment.
North Of Gorilla an Italian machine
gun squadron crept through the woods
and inflicted heavy losses on an ad
vancing column Of 10000 Austrians.
Austrian regiments from Galicia have
been hurried to the frontier, General Ca.
dorna reported to the war office yester.
day. Several battalions of Galiclan
mountainers from the CarpathiGn region
attacked the Italian Alpinists near Monte
Nero Though outnumbered, single
battalion OF Alpinists repulsed the at.
tack and inflicted heavy losses on the
enemy.
Heavy Losses on Isonzo.
Berlin, via London, June 24--The Ital-
ians have suffered heavy losses on the
Isonzo, according to dispatches from the
front covering the fighting of the last
four days. Their attempt to storm the
Austrian fortified heights along the lson-
20 river few miles from the Italian
frontier have been costly failures.
After three days OF terrific lombard
ment, the reports say, the invaders sent
forward heavy lines of infantry to storm
the heights. Line after line charged up
the slopes only to be laid low by the
Austrians on the submits. These at
tacks were repeated six times in two
days The attacks left large numbers
of dead Many wounded could be seen
crawling down the rocky and precipitous
slopes.
Austrian women are doing distin-
guished service by carrying water an.
food to the Austrian positions which in
some places are at an altitude of nearly
1 200 feet.
Austrian Notifications on the south
ryrol front are admirable, according to
correspondents who have been permitted
o visit them. Not only are there ex-
client surface works, but subterranean
artillery chambers have been blasted in

The Value of Confidence.

| In the June American Magazine Ring
w. Lardner writes another amusing base
ball story. This month he talks about
Ty Cobb, of the Detroit Tigers, whom he
calls the greatest player in the business
OF Cobb's self-contidence Lardner writes
in part as follows:
He's got pretty good opinion OF
, himself. He's just full o. the old con
tidenee. He thinks Cobb's good ball
player, and guys got to think that
way about himself if he wants TO get
anywhere ! know lot o. ball players
that gets throwcd out o the league be-
cause they think the leagues too fast
for EN-. It's different with Tyrus. If
they was a league just three times as
fast as the one he's in and if he was
sold mp there, he'd 20 believin' he could
lead it in battin. And he'd lead it too!
Eyes sir, he's full o. that old stuff
and the result is that lots o. people that
don't know him think he's a swell head,
and don't like him. But I'm tellin' you
that he's pretty good guy now, and
the rest o the Tigers is strong for him,
which is more'n they used to be. He
busted in with chip on his shoulder,
and he soon become just as popular as
tho itch. Everybody played him for
busher and started takin' liberties with
him. He was busher, too, but he was
one o the kind that can't take Joke.
You know how they's young fellas that
won't stand fer nothin.' Then they's
them that stands for too much Then
they's the kind that's just about half
way. You can 60 a little ways with
EN-, but not too far. That's the kind

Requisites for Clear Skin.

Good health is the only lasting pre-
scription for a good skin. Cosmetics
and lotions will do no good if the real
trouble is lack of exercise or indiscre-
ton in eating. Indigestion is the cause
of many pimply skins and '4ggish dis
positions. Your stomach and its health
will reflect on your beauty.
Many girls lunch daily on dish of
ice cream or some candy. A sallow,
muddy complexion is the inevitable re-
suit. lou should make every meal as
substantial as possible, and do not eat
between meals.

Eat all cold food slowly. Digestion
win not begin till the temperature of
the food has been raised by the heat
of the stomach to 90 degrees. Hence the
more heat that can be impaired to it by
slow mastication the better. The precpi-
tation of large quantity of cold in the
stomach by fast eating may, and often
does, cause discomfort and indigestion,
and every occasion of this kind results
in measurable injury to the digestive
functions. Ice water drunk with cold
food of course increases the mischief.
Hot drinks--hot water, weak tea. cof-
fee, chocolate, etc.--will. on the contrary,
help to prevent it. But eat slowly any
