Dear Mrs. thompson: l am
troubled with little blackheads all
over my nose and on my chin. What
causes them and what can l do to
get rid of them? BILLIE.
Dust and CRIME are two of the
principal causes of blackheads. A
little dust gets into an open pore and
causes an irritation of the skin It's
sues surrounding it. This condition
often leads to Inflammation and dis.
figuring blotches. Another great
cause Of most facial blemishes of
this sort is Indigestion. Watch your
diet carefully. A good remedy for
skin disorders is to eat two apples
and drink a glass of water before
going to bed. Scrupulous cleanliness
of the skin is another great aid in
removing blackheads and the pim-
piles which very often come with
them.
Apply this ointment every night
until an improvement is noted:
Ereotine, three grams; oxide of
zinc, seven grams; yaseline, 30
grams.

MIS- AEHTH TEeNpSOnl

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am "A years
old and l am desperately in love with
a man five years older than l am.
have known him four years At first l
did not love him or think about him
particularly because he did not seem
good-loOking to me. He was too tall
for his weight and his eyes. twisted
Now it is different. l only think of him
as graceful and l cannot see any de-
fects. l did not love him until |
learned that he drank and lost a posi-
ton because of it. He took it so hard
that l pitied him at first and tried to
help. l seemed to do him good and
he stopped drinking for long periods,
but he is not able to give it up en-
tirely.
He tries so hard to keep straight
and he loves me as much as | love
him. ! know that if l give him up he
will drink again and be worse than
ever, because he trusts in me to help
him keep straight He has asked me
to marry him and l don't know what
to do.
l would rather die than give him
up. but | hesitate to marry him be-
cause l have a good position and
make a good salary. My father for
bids me marrying him. What would
you advise me to do?
EVANGELINE.
Do not marry the man, because you
have more than yourself to consider.
The drink habit is very likely to be-
come stronger in the man, and if you
married you will probably lose your
influence over him. Consider the re-
suits of such a marriage. Doubtless
there would be children to be reared
with the terrible condition of drunken
ness in the home. and there would
probably be poverty.
Love him and help him all you can.
but sacrifice your desires in the mat
ter rather than bring misery on
yourself and others in the future
You have something to be thankful
for in the thought that you have a
great love. So many women go
through life only half loving and
never knowing what it is to DE deep
ly loved by another,

WATERMELONS ARE
FEW THIS SEASON;
ACREAGE REDUCED

WatermeIons are not likely to be
plentiful this summer and high
prices may be expected to prevail.
Shipments from the south are re-
stricted because of the scarcity OF
cars and the acreage Of the fruit in
northern growing centers has been
greatly reduced because OF the
tendency everywhere to grow crops
of greater food value. At Musca-
tine, where most of the melons
marketed here are produced war
crops are taking the place OF pro-
ducts which have made that district
famed the nation over. The water
melon crop will be seriously re-
duced as a result of the planting
of other crops on the land which
produced them in the past. The
patriotism of the grower is given
expression in this new develop
ment The melon crop under prop
er conditions has paid the gard
ener we'll but the fruit is not war
necessity. 1t is low in its food
value, hence beans and other foods
OF far greater value to the nation at
war IS being produced in its stead.
On the Island this year will be
found some of the largest bean
patches in the entire country. The
bean output of the watermelon belt
gives promise Of setting a new rec
ord.
