NJ. McAdoo,s RESIGNATION.

Secretary 1IcAdoo has earned d rest. No one
conneced with the administration, except the presi-
dent himself has borne such heavy responsibilities
since the United States entered the war He has
proved himself big man. but the strain of direct
ing at the same time the stupendous financial oper-
atoms of the government and the coordination OF all
tile railroad lines has severely taxed his physical
resources. The compensation has been SO low as TO
be utterly out OF proportion 70 his responsibilities
and it IS not unnatural that he should take the first
opportunity to recoup both his health and his pri-
yste fortune.
Mr. McAdoo. while in office, has discouraged
mention of his name as presidential possibility
As private citizen he viii be under no obligations
which run counter to perfectly justifiable ambition
for political advancement. Perhaps that has had
something to do with his retirement at this time
No one viii blaine him if he thinks the country
owes him more than it has paid him There are
good many others who feel the same way about it.

war were vital to the cause Of human freedom-to
urge President Wilson to attend the coming peace
conference. Not vanity, curiosity not any small

the sort of peace that would be a just peace, his
mandate from the American people to make war

Pancakes and SYRUP am the
famous hired man with the insatia-
BILE appetite. My boss serves US
buckwheat pancakes with corn
syrup for breakfast. Not that I am
worrying about my feed, but /
would like to know whether this is
a very nourishing combination, and
whether buckwheat cakes are as
digestible as wheat cakes. Please
tell me also whether corn syrup is
a wholesome substitute for cane
syrup or maple syrup. ABNER.
Answer-It is a combination hard
to beat For a man doing outdoor
work either wheat cakes or buck
wheat cakes are digestible enough
Corn syrup is glucose, practically
as wholesome and digestible and
nourishing as cane syrup or maple
syrup.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am IS
and some time ago l started to go
around with a young man. He is
in France now. Before he went he
told me how much he loved me and
made me promise that l would
wait for him He said if l didn't
make that promise there wouldn't
be anything worth while in life
for him, so l told him l loved him
only and would wait, no matter
how long.
All the time he has never men
toned marriage, but in his letters
ne always says that we will be to-
gether and that no one can ever
separate US.
am very fond of him, but I am
not so sure of loving him. | woulG
like any advice you can give me.
would like to let him know about
this, but do you think it is too
late? Or should I wait until he
comes back? Perhaps I could love
him in time. | could write MIN a
letter every hour in the day.
think Of him good deal, but l am
in doubt about loving him.
DORIS.
Since you are so much in doubt,
you had better wait until the boy
returns from France before telling
him that you do not love him ana
consider him merely as a friend
He means marriage or he would not
talk and write of such deep love.
He could hardly plan anything def
mite about marriage when ne is in
war.
You certainly do not love-him.
With love there is no doubt. Do
not let him influence you 10 marry
him when he gets back. Insist that
you remain friends and nothing
more until you feel sure OF your
self.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have
been going with a girl for some
time and for a while | loved her.
The first time / took her riding
there was a thunder storm and she
sat close to me for protection and
so l put my arm around her. After
that | always pretended there was
a thunder storm. 'Phen | got sick
OF it because it was TOO easy. |
started to go with another girl and
she heard about IT, she phones me
now and invites me to come over.
How can I give her up without
hurting her feelings? GEORGE.
If you do not like the girl now,
pay no attention to her invitations.
II was only natural that you should
tire of her under the circumstances
She should have made you respect
her by refusing TO allow you to
pretend there was storm.
