Aduice to Girls
By Betty Bropn

/ Dear, Betty Rlagn My girl friend
and myself would like to ask your
advice. We are both seventeen years
DID, We used to go with two boys whom
we thought a great deal of, but we
had a falling out for reason that
was not our fault We still speak to
each other Every Sunday these boys
come out at a certain hour, when they
know they will see us, and follow us
up and down the street We merely
speak, and that is all. We think the
world of these boys, and would like
to get them back SO we want your
advice. The Twins.
This failing out" surely shows re-
markable loyalty, not only between
you two girls, but between these two
boys. l suppose that one of you could
not make up with one boy, could you?
couldn't help smiling when l thought
of your Sunday procession. You know
that you two girls wouldn't think OF
walking up and down on Sunday if
you didn't know the boys were com.
ing too, and | know the boys wouldn't
ONE if they didn't believe that you
iris might be out for a walk So it
oes, you see.
Really, there is nothing, to my mind,
hat stands in the way of a sort of
.ouble reunion. Just write a note to
he boys saying that you are willing
to be their friends again, and they
viii come back to you in a great
hurry, you may be sure.

in the alimentary organs a certain
amount of indigestible material, which
if not eliminated, form toxins and

the blood through the very ducts
which are intended TO suck in only

If you want to see the glow o.

lnfantile PARALYSIS Germ.

In lengthy report to physicians,
the Rockefeller institute announces
the discovery of germ in the brain
and spinal cord of monkeys inoculated
with infantile paralysis. The organ
ism is said to be very minute, the
difficulties attending its artificial cul-
tivation and Identification being so
great that the discovery is as yet of
little value for the purpose of early
diagnosis of suspected cases. Mon
keys inoculated with the micro-organ-
ism, developed a disease correspond
Ing to infantile paralysis in human be-
ings. From these experiments 1t was
determined that the mucous MEM
branes of the nose and throat of per-
sons not sick with the disease may
become contaminated with the virus
and that without falling i'll themselves
they may become carriers of the dis
ease. 1t was found, in monkeys, that
the virus could be discovered six
months after incubation, and that dry
ing and mixing with dust did not de-
stroy 1t.

DROPPING OF MIDDLE NAMES
T~o-PIy Title Found to Be More
Convenient Socially, Morally and
Financially.

This Is the day of the two-cylinder
name, which ract has been proved by
cognomen connolsseurs who have
looked over every name at Harvard
and inspected the persons to whoia the
names belong. They learned TINT
some extremely nice persons have no
middle names at all. and seem to ges
ON rather well without them.
II is assumed that the ever-grow-
ing trend toward efficiency is to be
blamed for the dropping of diversified
names, for II has long been understood
that a person with two-ply title need
not be especially embarrassed about it.
In the course of n wealthy mans life
1t means the writing of about 10000
900 useless words If he uses his mid
die name on checks and Endorsements,
and these things have got to be con
sldered
The Pore elain club at Harvard. the
most exclusive organization of its kind
in the country, proves this year the
failing value of middle names. There
are fifteen m~nbers this year. and but
hve OF them are burdened with excess
sive nomenclature.
OF course, George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln had no middle names,
but this evidence is considered ms moth
ing at Harvard compared with the fact
that Theodore Roosevelt hasn't. That
one fact is almost enough to wreck the
complicated title system at the uni
versity.
