Beatrice Fairfax Pitfalls Workers
Especially for Washington Women

however in printing some samples
Of what the individual correspon-
dents commend in q "pal."
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 am greatly impressed with the
Hopeless" letter. I don't dance.
but enjoy good shows. but prefer
music; as to walking. the road is
never too long. / could not toll
erate her "fifty-fifty'' stipulation
though. Hopeless" speaks Of Wis
iting Mt Vernon with companions
who failed to take 1t seriously and
refleetively. The other day I join
ed a guided party to be shown
through the Capitol. The tour be-
gan in the lobby under the dome,
before we left the lobby / decided
that I would rather go 1t alone.
When the party was conducted to
the north wing I went to the south
wing. got as far as the Hall OF
Fame and remained there more
than two hours-all the time I had
to spare for that day. I would
greatly appreciate knowing such
q Pal as I imagine Hopeless to
be.
And again:
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have read and re-read the letter
Of Hopeless" In The Times, and
cannot help but feel that she must
be girl Of extraordinary good sense,
though. as you say. "a martyr to
principle" The trouble is the
young men OF today are so accus-
toned to the other type OF girl
she who cares little for anything in
life save that which keeps her con-
stantly amused, and who enjoys
the company OF her boy friends
only for the dinners, shows. and
other good times which they can
give her. that when they meet a
girl. who, like Miss Hopeless"
possesses the finer qualities, he is
hike q fish out of water" and
does not enjoy himself.
Or witness the very amusing ad-
missions Of art student in search
Of a pal.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Hopeless" seems to have the
same trouble with fellows that
have with girls. To the student Of
art. natures great out-of-doors
has the strongest appeal, but my
last experience with taking q girl
to the country was distressing. She
appeared on the scene with a fur
coat which I had to carry, a mir
ror which belonged to her boudoir
set: l carried that also. She wore
ridiculous shoes for such an expe-
dition. hoisery and skirt, ditto.
believe we did go half q mile, and
conversation gave out at the end
OF the first quarter.
Still I'm not all hopeless. know
perfectly we'll that there's a girl
that's going to like me, and I'm
going to be crazy about her, and Il
won't be because movie shows are
in existence. Please. Miss Hopeless.

SWEET POTATOES
AS ARMY RATION
Big Market Opened to Farmers of
South Carolina as Sweet Potatoes
viii Be Bought by Camp Quarter
masters.

Columbia.-The Conservation and
production division OF the Food Ad-
ministration at Columbia has been
advised by the Acting Quartermaster
General Of the Army at Washington
that sweet potatoes are now a substi.
tute component pf the Army ration.
and can be used in place Of white
potatoes. Last fall considerable
quantity OF sweet potatoes were pur-
chased by the Camp Quartermaster,
especially for South camps, and the
purchase OF sweet potatoes will very
likely be made on a larger scale this
year.
This opens up q new and ready
market for sweet potatoes. It is sug.
gssted, in the letter received by the
Food Administration, that growers OF
sweet potatoes in South Carolina COM
municate direct with the Camp Quar-
termaster OF the camps located in this
and nearby States and offer sweet
potatoes at the lowest price per hun
dredweight.
Sweet potatoes sold for Army ra-
ton must be sacked and delivered at
camps in car load lots, and prices
named should be only for potatoes in
such quantities and delivered freight
prepaid.

The Doctor Away From Home When
Most Needed.

People are often very much diSap-
pointed to find that their family ply
sician is away from home when they
most need his services. Diseases like
pain in the stomach and bowels,
collie, and diarrhoea require prompt
treatment, and have in many instan-
ceS proven fatal before medicine
could be procured or physician sum-
moncd. The right way is TO keep on
hand a bottle Of Chabcrlian'S Collie
and 4Dialrhoea Remedy. No physi-
clan can prescribe better remedy
for these diseases. BY having it in the
house you escape much pain and SUI
foring and all risk. Buy it now; il
may save life.

GRAIN DEALERS ID
 HOLD JOINT MEETING
Increase of FOOdstuffs Will Be Discussed at Meet
 ing Today

The movement to increase the grain production in Alabama will be gwen a boost this afternoon when the Btr- minGnam Grain Dealers association and the directors of the Chamber of Commerce hold a joint meeting. Sec retary A. S Leath of the food prepared ness bureau will attend the meeting. which has been called for 330 o'clock in the directors room of the Cham Der of Commerce building.
 As stated in The Age-Herald Tues day, farmers all over the state have indicated that they would follow the advice of the preparedness bureau and plant at least five acres each in wheat, which would assure yield of over 9,oo0,000 bushels in Alabama in 1919.
 At today's meeting the question of increasing the corn acreage next year will be taken up and a campaign start ed to induce the farmers to make a bumper crop. They will also be urg ed to raise more oats, hay and other feed- stuffs.
 The high prices of cotton last win ter and spring, 1t is said, influenced the farmers generally to put more acre. age in that crop than for several years, with the result that the 1918 corn crop will probably be considerably less than in 1917.
