Should girl wear a boys ring?
go Should boy keep girls
handkerchief?
(4) l have been going with a boy
for six months and he moved to an
other state. We have been cores
ponding since, so should | send him a
present or just card on his birth
day or should remember it at all?
80 If should send a present, what
should | send?
90 If a boy lived about five hun
dred miles away and he and a girl
were corresponding and the girl goes
to city about ten miles from his
home to visit and where he could go
to the city and back home the same
day, would it be proper for her to
write to him and ask him to run up
and see her?

to school this fall and l don't know
any one in the city nor anything
about it. How can | get acquainted

% A girl of IA is too young to
spend much time thinking about boys.
II the nature of her correspondence is
not silly | think it is all right for her
to write to boys. Many girls regard
their boy friends just the way they do
girls.

Children's Teeth.

A recent investigation made by the u.
S. Public Health Service in connection
with studies OF rural school children
showed that 49.3 per cent had detective
teeth, 2l.l per cent had two or more miss
ing teeth, and only 10 9 per cent had had
dental attention. Over IA per cent never
Used tooth brush, 5S.2 per cent used
one occasionally, and only 27.4 per cent
used one daily. Defective teeth reduce
physical efficiency. Dirty, suppuraiing.
snaggIe- -toothed mouths are responsible
for many cases OF heart disease, rheuma-
tism, and other chronic affections. The
children are not responsible for The ne
elected state OF their teeth. The ignorant
and careless parent is 10 blame for this
condition-a condition which hampers
mental and physical growth and puts
pemanenthandicapon on our future citizens.
School teachers can and are doing much
in intoxicating habits OF personal cIeanli-
ness on tlle rural school child, but this will
fail Of the highest accomplishment unless
parents cooperate heartily and coniin-
uously. This is duty which we owe
our children.

Should Newspapers Tell The Truth.

1t is not pleasant and profitable always
to tell the truth in the columns OF a news
paper. Men who have tried this hereto
fore have always come to grief. Only a
few days ago the editor OF paper in
Indiana grew tired OF being called a liar,
and announced that he would tell the
truth in the future and the next issue
of the paper co itained the following
liens
"John Bonin, the LATEST merchant in
town, made trip TO Beleville yester-
day."
"John Coyle, our grocer man, is doing
poor business. His store is dirty and
dusty. How can he do much ?"
"Rev. StYx preached last Sunday night
on Charity The sermon was punk"
"Dave Sonkey died at his home in this
place. The doctor gave it ont as heart
failure. Whiskey killed him."
"Married-Miss Sylvan Rhodes and
James Conlin, last Saturday, at the Bsp-
fist parsonage. The bride is very ordi-
nary town girl, who doesn't know any
more about cooking than jack rabbit,
and never helped her mother three days
in her life. She is not beauty by any
means, and has gait like duck The
groom is an up-to-date loafer. He has
been living off the old folks at home all
his life, and is not worth shucks. 1t will
be hard life."
"The governor OF our great State, a
very ordinary man and who was elected
by accident, was here yesterday. He
has very few friends here now. He
promised some OF the voters of this pre-
cinct piece of the pie in event OF his
election, but had forgotten all about il
when the time to hand over the little Of
flee rolleo around"
Which reminds us of an Illinois editor
who became tired OF welding obituaries,
decided to reform and tell the truth just
once. He commented as follows upon
| the death OF citizen:
"Died - Aged fifty-six years, six
months and thirteen days. Deceased
was mild hammered pirate with mouth
for whiskey. He came here in the night
with another mans wife and joined church
at first chance. He owes us several dol
lars for the paper, large meat bill, and
you could hear him pray six blocks. He
died singing Jesus Paid 1t All, and we
think he is right; he never paid anything
himself He was buried in an asbestos
casket, and his many friends threw palm
leaf fans in his grave, as he may need
them. His tombstone will be a favorite
resting place for hoot owls"

Asthma.

Asthma is very curious and battling
disorder. II cannot be properly treated
until The underlying cause has been dis
covered, and that cause may be different
with each sufferer. Any laynan can un-
derstand that infection or irritation OF the
air passages by irhaling dust might bring
on an attack of asthma in anyone who is
predisposed to it, but no layman could
guess that almost every organ ofthe body
may at some time or other be at the root
of the mischief. Asthma is at different
times traceable TO the kidneys, to the
circulation, TO the nervous system, the
digestive organs or the lungs, TO errors in
diet, TO gout or to skin LESSONS.
Most asthmatic people are nervous in
temperament, and their family history is
often poor. They should be taught to
guard their general health with great care,
TO take exercises that will strengthen the
chest muscles and 10 live an outdoor life
as far as possible, with daily exercise
that stops just short OF fatigue. They
should never let their feet get cold or wet.
Asthmahc people are susceptible TO
digestive disturbances, and their diet
must be light and simple. Sea food. es-
pecialIy shell fish, will always bring on
an attack in some people; and they must
ofcourse avoid it. But There is no routine
treatment for asthma; and good ply
sician will always devote himself first to
finding out the underlying cause OF the
symptoms, and then to trying to cure the
kidney trouble, the gout, tile malaria or
the nervous disorder that he thinks is to
blame for it. Often his efforts will be
rewarded by the complete disappearance
of the asthma.
In obstinate cases the choice OF iavor-
able climate may also be matter OF ex-
pertinent. One person will lind that his
attacks disappear at once in a certain To-
caIity, although the friend to whom he
recommends If will discover that he can
not live there in comfort for day. Many
people do best in a fairly dry climate
where there are no wide extremes Of tem-
perature, and, above all, little dust, for
dust is the archenemy of all asthmatics.
Others do pest in climate that is exactly
opposite TO that in which they have been
living, so that dweIIers by the sea are
better in the hills, and vice versa. Ia a
really bad attack some form Of sedatiye
relief is usually demanded, and for that
a physician should always be called, since
self administration Of sedative medicines
is never wise.
