days a substantial salad will be ap-

combination as follows is very good:
Six boiled potatoes sliced, one large
onion cut fine, a bunch of celery
chopped, little parsley and one tea
, spoon chives, one teaspoon salt, one
half teaspoon pepper, six haTd-boiled
eggs sliced, and three sweet pickles
Mix well together with one-fourth

carrots, peas, wax beans, beets, on

New York. Aug. 10 z e infantile
paralysis epidemic thoug<- it seems to
have spent its force in Brooklyn where
it arose, continues to find its daily toll
of small victims in Manhattan and ev-
cry effort is being spent to halt its pro-
gress. Health officers and physicians
now freely confess that the plague has
reached proportions of national grav-
ity and it's infection is being discovered
in Washington, Philadelphia and other
large eastern cities.
Reports from the southern states,
through the Mississippi valley and
through the farther west show that
within the past several months the dis
ca Sc has been making steady progress.
There have been so far in the west
about five hundred cases and approx
mately fifty deaths. In Minnesota there
have been PAS cases with a death rate
of about one in ten.
New York medical men are giving
the plague their particular attention
especially as it has shown greater

ing jealous. The best way will be to
explain away his fears. If you do not
care enough for him to give up other
boy friends you better not marry him.
There is not too much difference in
your ages if you are sure you love him.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 26 years
old and in love with a man who used
to drink. He is 80 years old and until
five months ago he was drunk a good
deal of the time. He is not the kind of
a man that you think when you say
drunkard. He is much kinder and
more thoughtful than any man I have
ever known, and he is very well edu-
Gated, too. After we became acquaint
ed he said that he wanted TO stop
drinking, but he failed to stop for (.
long time. Then five months ago he
finally stopped. Now he wants me to
marry him and l don't know what to
do. l love him dearly and would GER
tainly marry him if it were not for his
great fault Do you think it would be
safe to marry him or is there danger
that he will go back to drink?
LOUISE K.
After the man has stayed away from
drink for a year, it will be reasonably
safe to marry him. Since your in
f1uence was strong enough to get him
away from drink in the first place il
ought to be strong enough to keep hin
away in the future. Five months is
hardly a long enough test, though.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: My mother
and l are greatly annoyed by a girl
who persists in telephoning me. l have
given her every reason to know that
her telephone calls are annoying. Blu;
l cannot make her see. She has even
telephoned me at my place of business
What can do to make her stop?
BEN.
When she calls have your mother
tell her that you cannot come to the
phone. 1t is almost impossible tC
make some girls see that they are OBJ
noxious. but when she finds that you
will not talk 10 her perhaps she will
finally stop calling.

he strictly quarantined most every
where hereafter though it is not com
monty considered by the quarantine
laws.
While the disease continues to hold
its own in Manhattan and through the
Bronx and Queens, local specialists at
the Willard Parker hospital, where the
small victims are being given partic-
ular study, are interested in the use of
a new serum though they are unwill-
ing to publish definite opinion as to its
value. The serum is taken from the
blood CT the average normal adult or
from children who have shown no sus-
ceptibility TO the disease. 1t is used on
the theory that the blood of such a
person contains a natural serum COM
batting the paralysis and will be eff
fective in the blood of the patient. The
physicians using it have seen the
prompt recovery of children whose
blood has received it but there has
also been a recovery as prompt among
children when the serum wasn't used.

MIS- ELTZABETH TLerQSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: At church
I became acquainted with crowd of
young people. Two of the boys liked
me and asked to take me places. One
night one of them telephoned me and
wanted TO know if l would attend a
party at his house with the other boy.
He told me that the other boy would
call me up and made no mention Of the
kind of a party it was going TO he. He
said there would be some of the church
crowd there.
The party was in two weeks and the
other boy didn't phone me, but the
night before, his sister, whom | didn't
know, telephOned and said her brother
wanted to know if it was all right for
tomorrow night? I was indignant
because he had his sister call me.
when he had had plenty of time to dc
it himself So l told her to tell her
brother that it was impossible for me
to go.
After the party I saw the boy who
gave it and he blamed me severely
because I did not let him know [
wasn't coming and because I turned
the other boy down. Was I right or
wrong? UNCERTAIN.
it would have been better if you had
telephoned the boy who gave the par
ty to let him know you would not be
there. Your treatment of the other
boy was justifable.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
of 10 and deeply in love with a man
about thrirty-three years old who
loves me dearly. He has enough
money to commence housekeeping, is a
good worker and farmer. He has a
very quick temper and is very jeal-
Gus of me and does not want me to go
with anyone, nor dance nor write to
anyone except him. | would like to
cure him of being jealous. How can
do it? Do you think he would be
jealous of me if l married him, or is
there too much difference in our ages
for us to live happily together? He is
fine looking and | think l can never
love anyone else. Please advise me
what to do. TROUBLED.
No man is perfect. You ought to be
glad that this mans most annoying
faults are jealousy and a quick tenn
per. You will only make him I'M
happy if you try to break him of be-
