selfish, to say the Least.


Dear Miss Fairfax: A young man has
been calling on me for almost two years
at least once a week. He has been en-
tertained at house parties at both my
home and at the homes of my friends.
and has never seemed to feel called upon
to send me flowers, candy or to take me
to any place OF amusement where he
had to pay.
He will 80 to a basket bal. game. a
dance or. to the theater, and see me
there with another fellow. and will ask
me when he calls II ] enjoyed the game
or theater or II had a good time at
the dance; but will never ask me TO go
the next week.
He has very good position, and works
steadily. He is about q years old. pleas
ant company, and q perfect gentleman.
What would you think of him? He Is
so different from the other young men
He came over the night after Christ
mas and did not even bring me box
of candy. Not that / wanted a present,
but / think that was rather cheap.

is very selfish. While I do not approve

HoaO Germs Fight

Not the least of our surprises in the
recent epidemic of the grip was the dis
covery. in the sputum of a large ma
jority of cases examined. Of the pneumo-
coccus, or germ of pneumonia instead
the the influenza bacillus as was ex-
pected.
But this unexpected finding-for an

reaches a thousandth part of the size
OF grip wave-was really of great in
terest and Importance.
First and most salutarily, because IL
reminds us how much we still have to
learn about these matters, and, second,
because 1t confirms a growing suspicion
in the minds of our bacterologists
This Is that there is an unholy par
tnership between disease germs in their
designs upon the human body--a sort
Of New Haven conspiracy against the
health of the body or at least. q gem
tlemans agreement.
According to this, one germ may put
up a stiff interference. while the other
runs around the end with the ball, or,
perhaps more aptly, one will smash the
windowpane and slip the catch while
the other climbs In through the OPEN
ing and loots the house.
Two such partners In crime, for in

the typhoid germ and the tubercle bacil-
lus for recent studies have shown that
those who have recovered from typhoid
fever are for, from two to five years
afterward, nearly four times as liable to
develop tuberculosis as the rest of the
community of their age
The typhoid germ is the howitzer to
batter down the walls of the body de-
lenses, the tubercular bacillus the in
fantry that march in and take the city.
Another very common, but less dan
gerous, partnership is that between the
influenza bacillus. or grip germ. and the
pneumococcus. Either one apparently
may make the preliminary attack and
then withdraw and leave the field en-
tirely to the other.
So that we never can be certain when

IT Is just possible that instead Of being
a case of collision and conspiracy IL
is a case OF dog eat dog" and a fight

possession Of the field. Indeed, we have
already one instance of this sort Of

bugs in that the bitterest foe OF the
diphtheria bacillus is the ordinary strep-
tococcus of tonsilitis. We actually clear

Hon to
Keep Young
BY "T. F. M"

Most people grow old in mind sooner
than in body. The mental state, of
course. reacts on the body. especially on
the face. and for that reason one sees a
settled look of age creep into the faces
OF men and women who are still phys
ically young-and in women this means
the loss OF loneliness.
One sometimes hears a woman say with
pride that she has lived I'm the same
house for ten years or more. or that she
has gone to the same holiday resort every
summer. A man perhaps boasts that he
has risen at the same hour every morn
ing. breakfasted at the same hour, trav-
eled to and from business by the same
train, lunched at the same restaurant.
Such people will generally be seen to look
set and old for their years.
Regular habits, no doubt, form as i'm
portant factor in a successful life, but
they have this unquestionable drawback.
Women grow mentally old even earlier
than men. Their lives are more monoton-
Gus. and 1t Is this which ages their minds
and blemishes their looks.
The best recipe for preserving youthful
ness OF mind and body is to secure vari-

Alone he counts his shining gold;
The night is dark, the house is still.
He shivers for he is not bold;
He is so weak, he is so old
Some thief might come to stab, to kill.
The yellow dross he fingers DER
AS lovers pat a silken tress;
Hear the coins cinking score by score!
His soul is shrinking more and more
Drying away to nothingness.
Each past year is dusty mile
With not one memory sweet to hold
He never had a friend worth while,
He never saw a baby smile.
Small wonder that he loves his gold!
strong hand falls upon his throat
With baby strength he tries to fight
No more to scheme, no more to gloat;
Whimpering out last shrill note
His-soul leaps sobbing through the night.
The little thing he called his soul,
All shriveled like flying leaf.
As blind and cropping as a mole,
Before 1t started for its goal
1t paused to thank the burly thief.

Don't forget Mr.. Farmer, that
through your Farmers National Con-
gress, National Grange, National
Farmers Union, American Society Of
Equity. and similar organizations you
have for years demanded and have
importuned Republican administra-
lions for legislation you needed.
WHAT DID YOU GET7
Through all the years since 1864
the Republican Party was deaf and
blind TO the farmers financial needs.
This in the face Of the fact that sue
cessfuI systems of Rural Credits were
in operation throughout Europe for a
century. When this great Democratic
measure was put to vote in the Sen
ate on May q, 1916, only five Re-
pubIicans dared vote against It! Three
Of them were on the subcommittee
who wrote the Republican Platform
of 1916.

CENTRAL POWERS

GERMAN HEROLD'
Will Yield Territory. but Will
Have Their Own Way in

The German Herold" seizes upon
President Wilson's message 70 warning
Europe and announces that now ~ the
time to award the palm Of victory m
the great war. SO on in its own re
sponsibiity. it proclsims that Germany

Central Powers Win the War says:
president Wilson's note calling for
peace terms may be the signal for the
end of hostilities. We are certain that
this note is but the result OF negotia-
tons behind the scenes, and that the
speech of the German Chancellor and
that Of Lloyd George were merely pre-
liminary acts in the drama which -
now unfolding itself before our eyes.
The Presidents note IS drawn up IN
such a manner that the impression D.
conveyed that he is merely sounding
the belligerents as TO the prospects Of
peace, but in reality he would not have
dared TO come out openly IN this man
ner If secret negotiations whether he
should do 50 had not Deen answered
by the belligerents in the affirmative.
"All bellgerents and all neutrals de-
sire peace. But what kind Of peace viii
it be? England knows already and
so do the other belligerents. They
have a general idea what the peace
terms will be. They will be determined
by the war map-or rather mainly de-
termined. The Centgsl Powers will
yield some of the territory they have
conquered. They will forego some ad-
vantages they might hold if they elect
ed TO continue fighting. But, on tho
whole, they will have their way in their
main contentious. They have won the

Entente Resentment

The reseptment at the Pres dent
interference which is felt by friends OF
the Entente is based not alone on the
fact that the United States is materi-
ally aiding the German proposal for
conference II springs also from what
is regarded as President Wilson's pal
pable failure TO comprehend the great
purpose for which the Allies are night
ing.
The idea expressed in Mr.. Wilson s
note that none Of the nations knows
what II is fighting for was read with
deep bitterness. II is declared that II
this is to be the attitude Of the United
States it will be quite useless for the
Allies to respond to the Presidents de-
msnd for a statement OF terms.
The words of President Lincoln and
Secretary OF State Seward, when Euro
pcan nations suggested peace during
the Civil War, were recalled. Al
though neutrals were then suffering
from the war-none more than Great
Britain, whose mills were closed and
( mill hands starving because OF the
cotton bockade-the United States
warned them that mediation would be
resented.
Mr.. Lincoln and Nr Seward pointed
TO the high ideals Of liberty and hui
mainly for which the Union was fight
ing. and declared that the cause of
cotton could not be paramount when
blood was being spilled for those high
purposes. Their words were needed. the
war went on and resulted in victory.
The Allies declare that their posi-
ton to-day is entirely analogous to
that OF the Union in 1863. They are
surprised and gricyed that the United
I States, which insisted then on its right
TO crush out slavery and clear the way

in appreciation of the perilous situa-
tion of Europe.

here as to what Lloyd George would that the count enhu
siastcally declared:
eNow am positive there will be peace conference.

There are two main theories herec
rs To the mainsprings of the Presi-'
dents actions. Despite the convic-
lion in all quarters that Mr.. VII
sons injection of the American gov
crnment into the situation at this
time is all in favor Of Germany, II
IS well known in Washington that
his sympathics are all with the cause
Of the Allies. Why, then, has he
taken important action so certain TO
favor the German side and possibly
I've resented by the Entente Allies?
Saw He Fears Being Drawn into War
One answer 70 that question, made
hv officials very friendly to the Pres
ident. is that Mr.. Wilson very great
ly fears being drawn into the war.
II is said that he takes with the
greatest seriousness the German
threat that course Of frightfulness
will be owed If the Allies now re-
iect the proffer TO talk peace.
Tnlcss The Administration decides
