Dear Mrs Thompson: | am SO

saying something about what we
are going to do. | have never en-
couraged him and | have told him
| would not marry him. ] do not
want to give him up. as | think it
would be mean to do so when /
know he will not be here very much
longer. AS long as | do not prom
Use to marry him / am not under
any obligations to him.
There is young man in the city
of whom | think a great deal of.
We have only been together a lit
tie. | know he thinks well of me
as he has ofttimes said so to others
He leaves soon for camp and he
has already come to me and said
goodbye. When he left he gave
me a handclasp and look L will
never forget and wished me good
luck. He also asked me to tell
the other boy the same for him.
They were very close friends. l am
sure he wanted to say something
else, but we were in a. very crowd
ed place and he had no chance.
do not want him to go out of my
life like this, for | cannot think of
anyone else as | do him. Would
it have been all right to suggest
his writing TO me? l was so hurt
over his leaving I could think of
nothing to say. What shall l do?
He will not write first because he

boy Would it be all right to send
him a card?

1t would have been all right to
say that you would be interested
to hear about his camp experiences
if he ever found time to write. You
might knit him a pair of socks or
send him a box of candy. 1t is
permissible for girl to do many
things for a soldier which are or
dinarily tabooed If the boy has

Is II Safe to Grow Thin J

There seems to be a popular I'M
preston, something akin TO the ne
lief that a hearty appetite is a sign
of good health, that IL is risky 10
take any treatment to reduce obes-
ity. II Is just fancy. There are
various harmful and generally IN
effective methods of reducing SUI
perfuous weight, such as the CON
sumption OF saline eathartics or ca
thartic mineral waters and the IN
discriminate use of fat reducers
which depend upon thyroid extract
for any actual effects. Thyroid is
fine thing for certain individuals
who happen to be overweight. but
II is a two-edged weapon and safe
" employed only under the con
slant supervision of a physician.
Nursing mothers are among
those who wonder il 1t is safe to
reduce overweight. 1t is always
safe and indeed advisable to reduce
excessive flesh by diet and exer-
else. And these are really the only
satisfactory means we have to re-
duce superfiuous flesh.
Old George Cheyne established a
record in reduction. At 30 George
weighed 44S POUNDS IN MS HdppIe5L
frame of mind-all from eating and
drinking. They didn't know any bet
ter in his time. They thought that
the bigger a mans appetite and the
bigger his waist the healthier and
finer man he was Poor simpletons
it was back in the 18th century.
But lots of people are still living in
the 18th century. George was
short of breath, lethargic and list
less, like all bowls of fat. But he
had ambition, had George. He de-
cided to grow thin and live longer.
He dieted on milk and vegetables
the vegetables were probably com
pulsory under the law-and he ex-
ercised freely. After a reasonable
effort he reduced himself in this
way 10 $50 pounds. And he didn't
die right away, either. He got
stronger instead Of weaker and liv-
ed to the age Of 70 which was
really a remarkable feat for any
one in that unhygienic age. His es-
say on health and longevity still
ranks with Metchnikoff's and Dor
lands.
It is ten times more dangerous
to grow fat than it is to grow thin,

no other girl for whom he cares
great deal he no doubt will be most
pleased to get remembrance from
you. Do not write letter unless
you send the socks. Then make
brief note saying that you have
tried to do your bit and you hope
the socks will be of service to him.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: (D I am
the mother of two girls, aged ~
and 13. Do you think they are old
enough to go with boys: / have
almost lost control of them since
the death of their father. They
think | do wrong by making them
go TO school and do not let them
keep company with the boys. The
oldest one was visiting a sister in
another town. She wrote and had
a boy meet heE/on the road and go
automobile riding. When they re-
turned home | told the boy what
thought about it. The girl got mad
and says she is going to leave
home. | don't know what to do
about il.
"a Do you think it right for
girls of that age to receive letters
and postals from the boys?
MRS. r. c.
"a Your daughters are too young
to go with boys. But since they
! have grown away from your con-
troll you will have to use great
deal of tact to keep them home and
under your influence. | think, in
your case, you should let the giI
entertain boys in their home Give
simple little parties for them and
make them feel that their mother
really wants to please them. If
/ they think you are trying TO look
at things from their point of view
they will be more apt to look at
them from yours. Keep the girls
in school as long as you can. I'm
press upon them that to belong TO
a good society requires education
nowadays.
(2) Letters and postals would b
all right if they represented the
correspondence of mere friends.
From what you say about your
daughters their letters would prob
ably touch on love. which of course
is bad for girls of that age.
