one of these portable ovens over the warm

so hard that the water is bubbling, turn
down the flame beneath it, Boiling heat
cannot become any hotter; you will get the

Ask for an Invitation

Dear Deborah Rush. have young girl
staying with me for several weeks and have
been invited to dance on next Thursday, The
hostess does not know my friend, she can't
ask her. Would 1t he wrong for me to go and
leave my friend at homer %. j. NJ.
1t would be perfectly proper for you to
write a little note TO the lady who is giving
the dance, saying that Miss - is staying
with you at present and you would like
very much to take her with you to the
dance, If the hostess will invite her. Strictly
speaking it would not be polite for you to
leave your guest at home If she is not
very intimate friend. OF course, you might
provide for her pleasure during that eve
ming in another way and go yourself to the
dance, but that should be arranged between
you and your guest The hostess of the
dance would not be obliged to say yes to
your request, II she had decided on a very
small affair, but at the same time IL would
not be very gracious for her to refuse.

When paying visits 1t is very neces-
sary thing to comply with the rules of
the household in which one is a guest,
One thing about which guests should be
very particular is promptness at meals. In
some homes the hostess is not very strict
about this observance, but the guests should
be ready at the hour named, and therefore
never be responsible for any delay An
other matter about which guest should
be careful is the hour of retiring. 1t is
not good taste to remain downstairs after
the hostess has signifed her intention of
retiring and said goodnight; n guest should
always go to her room at the same time
even If she does not care to retire yet
She may occupy herself there reading or
writing.

CARPENTER PREFERS FRONT
Rather stay ON Battle Line Than
Fight Willard He says.

PARIS, Dee. 6.-(7:3O p. m The
personal desire of Georges Carpon-
tier, the French aviator and champion
heavyweight pugilist of Europe, is TO
remain with the French flying corps
at the front, a lcsirc he has expressed
each time an offer from the United
States to arrange bout for him has
been received. The report that he
has been given a furlough for a match
IN New York with Jess Willard is at
least premature. Thus far no definite
proposition for a bout between Car
pentier and willard has been received
here.
Miss Eliza beth Marbury. who Is
prominently connected with French
war relief work in New York, has
been authorized by Carpenters man
ager to act for him in any negotia-
tions in the United States.
Carpenter, who is in Paris on few
days leave of absence, was seen 10y
the Associated Press representative
today. He appeared to be in excellent
condition. Carpenter said he was not
thinking at present about boxing. Fly
ing, he added, had in no way slowed
him up and life at the front had been
excellent training for him.

The Drinking OF Water
CBy NJ. C. LUCAS, NJ. D.

The general conclusions of the latest
medical scientists proves that drink
ing of plenty of pure water both be-

beneficial to health. 1t has also been
proven by means of the X-rays and
actual tests upon many healthy young
men that the drinking of water with
meals is not harmful to digestion.

benefit in adding about 10 grains
