1t was nearly II a. m. on Sun

that prevailed was broken. We
were painfully anxious as to The
fate of Macon.
AS we watched the woods that
extended from our front door to
the main road leading from Clin-
ton to Macon, we saw a man out
beyond, hiding behind a big oak
tree, and he ran quickly to an
other tree for hiding as we sup
posed. Then we saw another man
performing in the same way. Di-
rectly we discovered they were
Maconites, spying out the land,
and delighted to discover that the
Yankees were not in possession as
they feared. ..
Then we heard cannon and small
arms firing at a furious rate to-
wards Clinton. 1t was there Gen

Could you give me a recipe for
removing wrinkles on the face? If
so, it will be greatly appreciated. Or
the address where I might get the
needed article or recipe. [ have sew
eral deep wrinkles and just sights of
tiny little wrinkles are just beginning
on my face. [ am 40. Will be so
next April.
Answer: I am afraid that you
cannot remove the wrinkles en-
tirely but 1 am sending you by
mail an article which tells you
how to massage the face and
bring the skin to healthy con-
dition. This will help some, but
you know at SO one is supposed
to have wrinkles. They give
character and expression to the
face. I would not worry about
them as that will only make
worse Cultivate a cheerful and
happy expression and people will
not notice the wrinkles.
am coming to you for advice how
to learn faster in my books. / go to

cept when 1 am sick l study real
hard. We have study periods and

see, why I cannot learn. Every
body says I talk and act like [ have

think much of me; but still can
not learn my books. 1 want to make
a teacher, but it doesn't looks like I
will ever get an education. 1 live
on a farm and L like farm life fine.

Answer: Of course you have
good sense. Your letter shows
that L do not understand why
you cannot learn readily.
think, perhaps, you need glasses,
or perhaps your tonsils should
be taken out Sometimes when
a person is not quite well it in
terferes with their capacity to
learn. 1 think, too, that you
study too long at a time. You
should never study later than
$50 at night, as you cannot af-
ford to miss the sleep. When
you stay up too late at night
you cannot learn next cay be-
cause both your brain and body
are tired. I suggest that you do
not study longer than thirty
minutes at a time. That at the
end of the thirty minutes you go
out for a brisk walk for fifteen
or twenty minutes and then come
back to study again for another
thirty minutes. By breaking up
the study periods in this way
and by taking sufficient exercise
to keep your blood circulating
better Remember about not
staying up too late, and learn to
listen and concentrate on the one
thing you want to learn,

Please, give me your best advice.
UNDECIDED"
ANSWER: Eighteen is too
young for marriage. Wait a
year at least often a years en-
gagement serves to convince
both young folks that they do
not love each other enough to
spend the rest of their lives to-
gether.
Social standing, birth and
breeding, count for a great deal
IN that persons of the same
class usually have the same
tastes and standards of living,
which usually makes for hap
piness in marriage, and for that
reason, it is better to marry in
ones own class; but, when two
persons are absolutely certain
of real and lasting love for
each other, a difference in social
status should make no differ
ence. Only be certain that it is
real love and not a passing
fancy. Otherwise you will be
miserable later.
