ADVICE TO THE

Dear Miss Fairfax /:

Dear Miss Fairfax:

mother a few months ago. / am
keeping house for the rest OF
the family and am not at all
satisfied, because, when ! try to
correct my younger sister. who
is very wild, they stick up for
her. Now, Miss Fairfax, / am
fond of home and family, but l
am treated like a mere servant
and receive nothing for my
work. l am going about with
a young man a few years my
senior, and he knows of all this
and wishes to marry me. He
has introduced me to his fam
lily. Now, what is your advice?
MISS UNHAPPY.
So many girls write me this type
of letter that / am honestly puZ-
zled. Is the little housekeeper un-
duly sensitive as the result of over
wrought nerves. work, and the
strain of the hot weather, and arc
things really as bad as they seem

II is incredible in these days OF
labor famine to think of such work
being unappreciated by ones fam

for some older member of the fam
lily to admonish the ''~ild" young
er sister. She might be inclined to
take 1t with better grace. And sew
enteen seems terribly" young to
marry to escape from uncongenial
surroundings. Why not talk the
matter over with some tried older
friend, or your priest, or min
lister; some one acquainted with
you, personally, ought to have a
better grasp of the situation. Some
times things that seem so bitter to
youth are nothing more than the
daily grind of life. Married or
single, these things pursue one.

 PASS THROUGH
 ?. B. IN Z DAYS
Canteem Service Distrib4 utes Fruits, Candy, To-
 bacco, Magazines.

More than 5000 soldiers en route north, presumably for authorization over seas, have been served by the local Red Cross canteen service in the past two days, according to Mrs. w. T. Lowe, chairman of the canteen committee last night.
 Tuesday the committee took care of HOO men on two trains. All of these men were members of the medical corps, doctors, ambulance drivers, hospital men etc.
 Yesterday four trains, carrying a total of 2,450 men, passed thru. Ev' cry man on the four trains received something; some were given home baked cookies and lemonade, others received fruit and tobacco and postals others drew candy and smokes and nostals. All were given magazines and other reading matter.
 Mrs. Lowe said that yesterday was one of the busiest days the canteen workers have yet experienced.
 A soldier on one of the trains was i'll upon arrival here and an examina- ton by local physician showed that he had appendicitis and was in urg- ent need of an operation. As the sick man was member of contingent bound for Camp Pike, his officers decided to carry him on the hospital there for treatment.
