QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Mineral Oil as a Lubricant

Do reactionary effects follow the
use of mineral oil when taken in
ternally. as an intestinal lubricant.
just as such effects follow the pro-
Ionged use of other laXatives? Is
the constant use of pure tasteless
mineral oil internally harmful in
any way? u. ii. NJ.
Answer-SO far as we are aware
no harmful after-effects are ever
observed from the prolonged use
of liquid petroleum. or so-called
mineral oil internally.
Rubbers Worn Indoors.
Does the wearing of rubbers in
doors affect the health in any way,
especially the eyes? J. p.
AnsWer-NO.

Following a suggestion in one of
your very interesting talks, | had
a pelvic belt of webbing made AMI
it gave wonderful relief to my old

Dear Mrs Thompson: / have
been working in a place for 10
years as a stenographer and am
not appreciated for my faithfulness.
There are new girls being employed
all the time who get as much money
to start as / do. have spoken 10
my employer about this and he says
that he has to pay according TO the
amount OF work done and that the
other girls do as much as | do.
am very much discouraged and
am thinking of changing my posi-
ton. | don't know just what would
be best to do. What would you sug-
gest? Should / remain in the same
place, or should | seek another job?
AGNES.
A girl who stays in one place so
long almost always gets into rut.
No doubt you do your work me-
chanically by this time and are not
as thoughtful and progressive as
you might be if you changed your
position and had new people to
work with, new tasks and com
plete change in every way.
l do advise you to go somewhere
else to work.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: | am a
boy of 16. l go to high school and
met a girl that l know likes me, but
l don't want TO walk home with her
or talk with her veEy much, as there
is something about her that | don't
like. What shall | do to have her
quit talking to me and still not hurt
her feelings? CLARENCE
You certainly are in trouble. 1t is
not an easy matter for boy to get
rid of high school girl who is in
love with him. You will have to be
unresponsive and pretend not to
notice her friendly overtures. Also
pretend not to see her. After a
while she will realize that you do
not care for her and she will cease
to annoy you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: | am going
to the hospital for an operation and
would like to know all l will need.
What color do you think would suit
me best, as l have fair skin, blue
eyes and light hair?
BLUE EYES.
You will need kimono, bedroom
slippers and several nightgowns,
the number depending upon the
length of your stay in the hospital.
A nurse at the hospital can tell eX-
actly what you will need.

The Rural Carrier.

When Uncle Sans most favored pet
Who glides round with mail,
Asks for our help you'd better bet
Wen give it, without fail
Wen meet him daily at the gate,
And if he is an hour late
He doesn't mind to have us wait
And camp upon his trail.
Wen clear away the snowdrifts
And oil and thaw the locks,
And never, never, never
Leave penny in the box;
Give him smile. as he goes by,
Or even coffee and mince pie,
For no one has time for the guy
Who's always throwing rocks
Well even, seal our letters,
And write addresses right.
And have our package ready
Before he comes in sight,
Well buy stamps by the dollars worth,
And sitting by our cosy hearth
Well think the greatest snap on earth
Is the jolly carriers life.
