Dear Miss Lee: an TO Be married soon to .
man who is known by q name that Is not his
oun. He wishes to be married under this name
10 II safe to marry him under q false namei
Would the marriage be lesli-AnIious.
While the marriage would be
legal, regardless of the names used.
1T would be much better for your
fiance to use his real name. II there
Is any good reason for using the
name he is known by at present, he
should go to Probate Court and
have the use of the name legalized
before his marriage. Unless he al
ready has done SO. he should ex-
plain to you fully the circumstances
which led him to change his name.
You then will be able to judge
whether there is reason come cted
with this change which would make
it inadvisable for you to marry
him.
Not So Hard.

year Our programs were made up in advance
In the usual way-by exchanging partners. Ths
mother Of the girl took caid her daughter must
Re home by O'Clock. That meant had To mis-
the latter part Of the dance to take her home,
and had TO give up several dance obligations
Under the circumstances was my duty TO the
girl took or to the party as wholes-S.
Your obligation was to the girl
you invited to be your guest. 1t
would have been extremely rude not
to have escorted the girl home at
the hour set by her mother. Under
such circumstances you merely go
to the men with whom you ex-
changed dances and explain the sit
uation. The men then dance with
the girls they have escorted the
dances they would have had with
your partner. No offense could pos
sibly be taken at this.

 During the meeting the ladies were pleasantly surprised by visit from Rev Mcqueen and Rev Green ing of Juneau, who just happened to be on the island, in the interest of their church.
 Rev.

On several occasions of late, Sec tion' 13 of Ordinance No. 15O of the City of Juneau, which reads: ''No person shall operate or drive any yechicle upon any sidewalk within the incorporated limits of the Town of Juneau" has been violated. caus- ing unnecessary work for the Street Department in repairing broken sidewalks.
 This practice is dangerous, not only to the parties using the walks as streets, but also to pedestrians, for sidewalk may be broken down in the early part of the evening and remain unnoticed until the fol- lowing day A little cooperation will not only cut down the unneces- sary expense entailed in making re- pairs but will lessen the danger of a serious accident, and also show better citizenship, declares city official.

DOCTOR ADVISED
 HIM TO TAKE IT
A. F. Roberts, Successful Cattle Dealer, Gains 16 Pounds in
 60 Days Taking Tanlac

"One of the best doctors in Colo rado advised me to take Tanlac: and it has not only overcome my troubles but I have gained sixteen pounds since I began taking it sixty days ago." said A. F. Roberts, who lives at Rocky Ford, Alberta, Can ada, a few days ago.
 Mr Roberts is one of the largest cattle dealers in his section of the country, and before moving to Can ada a short time ago, he had spent most of his life in Colorado, U. S. A.
 .'I can now understand why Tan in Canada and the United tSates," continued MT. Roberts, "and since it has done me so much good, know that it is very dependable medicvine and deserves all the praise that is being given it. For the past two years 1 have suffered from stomach trouble, and when I com menced taking this Tanlac, it was almost impossible for me to retain anything l ate. l was very nervous and never got good nights sleep, and finally got so weak and run down that I was hardly able to get about. l often had dizzy spells, and was bothered a great deal with con- stipation.
 My physician certainly knew what he was doing when he pre- scribed Tanlac for me, for it has done the work for inc, as I am as healthy and strong now as I ever was in m ylife. In fact it has done much more for me than I expected it would do. I have a fine appe- |tite and everything II eat agrees with me perfectly, and I never have the slightest sign of stomach trou- ble of any kind. am no longer bothered with constipation, and nev- CT have those dizzy spells any more. l have regained all my strength, too, and that nervousness has left me, and l sleep like log every night. In fact. am simply enjoying per- feet health again, and I give Tanlac credit for it all"
