II you telephone them they will soon
consider it an annoyance, because any
time they feel inclined to talk, they
will phone you.
Dress neatly and not in extreme

when he picks out girl he wishes

Go with other boys, too. Let these

Above all, remember that it is hui

which is expected to sweep the coun-
health authorities from all parts OF
the United States. Canada and South
America at the forty-si1th annual con-
yention Of the American Public Health
Association which opens here Dec. g.
Members of the association say that
all the influenza epidemics since 1923
have been recurrent for from two to
three years after the initial outbreak.
For this reason leading authorities feel
convinced that the visitation OF 1918
will be repeated in 1919 and probably
in 1920. Also 1t is pointed out that
in previous epidemics the second and
third outbreaks have been more viru-
lent and attended by higher mortal
ity rate than were the initial mani
festations.
1t was early In 1913. according to
DR.. w. A. Evans. former health. COM

,uring the three-day meeting. the
methods used in combating the 1918
epidemic in the United States will be
thoroughly considered and plans out
lined for meeting any future emerg-
ency Among those who will present
papers and take part in the discus
sions are Major w. H. Welch. of the

Besides consideration of influenza,
many subjects of general interest per-
tanning to public health during the re-
construction period will be taken up.
There will be discussions regarding
proper precautions in the care Of chill
dren to reduce mortality rates. rural
sanitations, the effect of fashions on
health and the use of narcotics in
war times.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: We have
been married eleven years and have
seven children, ranging from a baby
TO ten yeas. There was never any
jealousy on either side until last
spring My husband had to 60 on a
business trip of two hundred miles.
When a friend of ours heard OF this
she asked il she could drive with my
husband. as she had relatives at that
place and wished to visit them.
They made the trip in one day and
stayed n week Then they returned
home. We never thought anything
else but what this lady would say,
What are the dues" thinking she
would offer to pay for some OF the
gas But not word.
Now when l want my husband to
get some member Of the family to do
little work for us, he always says,
Please forget about it."
Does this sound suspicious. or am
just jealous?
These people have lovely home
and no babies. but until now they
have never asked US out to their home
or showed us favor of any kind.
You can imagine we have plenty to
do with the little ones, as do all
the work myself
Please answer as soon as conyen-
lent as this is causing lot of worry
and trouble in the family. j. b. NJ.
Yes, you are suffering from an at
tack OF jealousy. Nothing has oc-
CURED which would mean your hus-
band Is interested in the other woman
or she in him.
The woman thought that as long
as your husband was making the trip
1T would be no additional expense for
him to take her along. She probably
felt delicate about offering money
for the favor and did not realize that
1t would be needed by you Your
husband is generous and wants to con-
slider the matter closed. Do not sug-
sest having members of the woman's
