Little
Aids for
Stupid

Lovelorn and heartsick folks will
hereafter find safe refuge by con-
fiding their troubles to the Herald. We
have secured the exclusive service of
Lucretia Annanias, who will gladly
advise those who are in the throes of
despond over the uncertainty of the
affairs of the heart. Miss Annanias
has had experience galore with the
love bug. She knows the difference
between puppy love and the real
thing; of platonic friendship she is a
postmaster, and when it comes to
handling affinities those needing her
advice will find her Johnny on the
Spot,
So, if you need advice, hesitate not
in calling on the Herald to assist. The
pleasure will be ours. Of this you
can rest assured Miss Annanias' ad-
vice will be just as reliable as that
dished out by so-called experts con-
nected with other great newspapers.
Do not delay. You may lose him while
waiting. All correspondence will be
treated as confidential.
Dear Lucretia Annanias:
Recently received a letter written
by one whom 1 have never met, in
which she declares she will teach in
my home town next year only on the
condition that I pay exclusive atten-
ton to her. Naturally I am perplexed
as to what to do and ask your advice
through your columns. Should l &C
cept the conditions, or let the school
board find another teacher?
-Adonis.
,Adonis:
Let her come. From the letter I am
inclined to think you are anxious, even
willing, to be married and one risk is
as good as another. Evidently she has
strong constitution and will in all
probability stick to you even after she
sees you. Remember, Lean Yer Is
three years away and you may never
have another chance like this.

The introduction of bill two years

included it in the fool things offered

have found that there is merit in the
measure and they are giving it serious
consideration.
Women lobbyists have been a con-
spicuous feature of the legislative
halls this winter. Never were their
numbers so large. The suffrage and
prohibition measures are responsible
for the most of them, but there arc
also other measures which have their
attention. Female solicitors and sales
