Q.-I have been going with
young lady for more than
year. She is my ideal.
But she has a girl friend who
is more SNOWY" than she is,
and she thinks I pay more
attention to this girl than
to her. meet the said
charming girl frequently,
but l have nothing to do
with her. l love the first
girl and she loves me. She's
troubled over the other one,
but she won't let me explain.
Please advise me how to
convince her that I love only
her. ALSO TROUBLED.
A.-Your friend has q touch
of jealousy i'm her makeup, which
requires delicate treatment. She
must let you explain; if not in
person, then I'm writing. DO this
very kindly and patiently. Never
treat jealousy in a joking man
ner. Many hearts have been bro
ken because a loved one treated
a deep-seated motion" as a joke.
al have been receiving
the attention of young
man for about eight months.
His home Is some distance
from here. This man has
asked me to marry him, but
am uncertain what to do.
When he is with me l feel
that l love him, but when he
goes way / am not so sure
about it. Is love like mine
sufficient upon which to base
marriage Will it grow
stronger? HELENE.
A.-The feeling you describe
is rather unusual. While you are
not justified i'm marrying at
present, there is every reason to
believe that your love will grow
deeper. Many other elements be-
sides personal attraction are nec-
essary as basis for a happy
marriage. Ask yourself these
questions: Are our tastes con-
genial? Has our education and
family life been similar, SO that
we shall not continually misun-
derstand each other? Is his COM
pany more agreeable to me than
that Of any other person? Does
he advocate high principles?
Take time to consider all these
things. II you are satisfied with
the quiz, then You have a good
basis for the belief that marriage
with this man will develop and
broaden your love for him.

In the July American Magaxins
DR.. Edwin r. Bowers says:
There are more than a million
jobs In America closed to the man
who drinks alcoholic iiaaors. This
means that not only the emplyees
shall not drink while on duty, but
that he shall keep clear of all public
drinking places while of duty.

OF John Barieycorn are the Ameri-
can railroads. which generally have
adopted Rule O. the mightiest blow

Hotel and boarding house keepess
all over the State were notified todav
by local health officers that they
would be expected to do their part
in preventing the spread Of the dis
ease. Local health authorities acted
under instructions from DR.. Hermann
M. Biggs. State commission of health
who was prompted to send out a new
circular of information by the fact
that thousands of families have left
New York for the rural districts to
safeguard the health of their chill
dren.
Proprietors of hotels and boarding
houses will be required to notify the
health officers of the arrival of any
children from infected districts. Those
who fail to do SO DR.. Biggs said, will
be held personally responsible for any
unfavorable developments.
The State health department also
urges local health officers to see that
glasses, Dishes spoons and other uten-
sils used in eating and drinking in
public places are thoroughly scalded
or otherwise disinfected after use. This
rule has been enforced already in New
York city. The instructions apply par
ticularly to soda fountains.
Physicians fighting the plague here
were encouraged today by cooler
weather, also by the fact that there
has been slight decrease in the num-
ber of offenders arrested for violating
sanitary ordinances. The police report
