Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am .
man 20 years OF age. I have been
keeping steady company for two
years with . sweet woman 81 years
Of age. / loved her dearly and
she loved me, too.
A few months ago We had . mis-
understanding and she told mo that
she didn't care for mo any more
and I should not come to her homo
again. wrote her . good many
letters asking her to forgive me,
but she will not answer, or even
give me q pleasant look when I
pass her on the street. am . gen
tleman, dress very well, and am
considered good-looking. I can't
understand why she 10 30 angry ut
me, for 1 treated her we'll and I
loved her from the bottom Of my
heart, and I still love her. I would
do anything to gain her love again.
l have q chance to 90 with other
women, but she IL the only one I
love and I can't forget her. What
do gou think Of this girl?
WORRIED AND ANXIOUS.
Perhaps II you 90 with another
woman, your sweetheart will feel
pangs of jealousy and win again
feel her love for you. Do not stay
ut home and grieve; continue to 90
places and enjoy yourself with
someone else.
You say of yourself, II am a
gentleman, dress very well. and am
considered good-looking." You have
not mentioned any mental assets,
Perhaps the girl believed that you
and she could never be happy to-
gether because you did not have the
same tastes.
II she has definitely given you up
it is for the best. 1t IL far better
to learn now that she does not loye
you than to discover the truth after
marriage.

most always acquired in childhood
or in infancy and remains smould-
sring until youth or early adult
life; and that 1t requires q pro-
longed or repeated exposure to In
feet adults. MRS. e. L. P.
Answer-You are correctly in
formed.
Vltamines.
r fat-soluble vitamine A and
water-soluble B are essential to
growth and normal nutrition It is
important to know which foods
contain these substances? Am l
right I'm my impression that the
former is present in butter fat and
the latter in green leaf vegetables?
Does cooking destroy these vita
mines? J. G.
Answer-Grasses and green leaf
vegetables contain both fat-soluble
and water-soluble vitamines. Fresh
milk, egg yolk, liver and kidney
fats and suet and ordinary meat
fats to q less degree are rich in
fat-solnble vitamine. Vegetable
oils are poor In vitamines. hence
poor substitutes for milk fat. The
outer layer of wheat (removed from
refined white flour) contains the
vitamine. The outer layer of rice

not destroy vitamines. but prolong-
ed preservation does. Hence con-
densed or evaporated milk 10 never

Objection Sustained
know you object to the term
"catarrh," but I want to ask about
the condition commonly termed
"catarrh," nasal passages constant

Formed In Most Ohio Cities.

Columbus, O.-(Special.)- )-One Of
the measures to be adopted in many
counties to promote the sale of War

til Ohio's soldier and sailor lads have

tunity for future and fortune. The
clubs are designed to demonstrate to
Buckeye boys the affection. good will
and we'll wishes Of relatives and
friends at home.

or sailor. will perfect the organiza.
tion of the Bring EN- Back Club"

friends. Public acknowledgment of
the formation OF the club will be
made through the local newspaper
AS soon as the completed applica-
tion is in the hands of the local War
Savings chairman, the State War
Savings committee will be informed
whereupon Governor Cox will issue a
charter to the organizer.
"The desire for your welfare is the
feeling uppermost in the minds and
hearts of those at home" is the in

Annette Kellerman''

Annette Kellerman is the star of
new deep sea fairy tale, "Queen
of the Sea-" The story is in
photoplay form and, like a
Daughter of the Gods" is spec
tacular. 1t is the first offering in
which the noted woman swimmer
and actress has been seen for
months, the play requiring over a
year to make.
"Queenof the Sea- will be re-
leased for production in Toledo on
Sunday, January 26, and will run
for aweek. 1t is to be at The
Colonial Theater, corner Summit
and jackson
Miss Kellerman, in this fantasy,
is Merilla, queen of the mermaids.
She incurs the enmity of the
wicked sirens and of Boreas, mas
ter of storms, because she saves
shipwSscked sailors from drown
ing. M a series of fierce battles
beneath the waves. in dark sea
caverns, in subterranean passages
and on the rocky cliffs of the sea,
Ike mermaid queen is captured
and imprisoned.
TO escape, Merilla walks a cable
S5 feet above the sea. Her
enemies cut it behind her and she
plunges 'headlong into the boiling
surf. She escapes through her
wonderful ability in swimming.
A love story, with a golden
prince, brave knights and beauti-
ful ladies, with fairies and elves is
part of the plot. \Merilla learns to
love a mortal and the fairies final
~ reward her with mortal form
and she weds the prince.
The play is the sort the children
cream of and the grown-ups thrill

OBITUARY.

The deceased Robert Frederick
Kazmaier, son of John and Mary
Kazmaier, was born June 9Th, 1887.
He was,baptized Oct. 20, 1887, by Rev.
Kaeding. After being instructed in
the fundamental doctrines of the
Christian religion he was confirmed
in Zoar Lutheran church April 14th,
1901, by Rev. c. S. Ide. He was true
to his confirmation VOW, being a loyal
and devoted member of our church to
the day of his death. Sept. 11th, 1911,
he was united in marriage to Miss
Lulu Schneider by the Rev. F. w.
Dietz; this union was blessed with
three children. Our friend and
brother was a victim of the dreadful
plague which has been ravaging
throughout the world and has spread
terror and sorrow everywhere. He
became sick week ago last Sunday,
and, although the best of medical at
tendance and care was given him by
physicians, relatives and friends, he
departed this life last Monday morn
ing, Jan. goth, at the age of 81 years,
z months and Is days. He leaves to
mourn their loss, besides his family
an aged father and mother, nine
brothers and one sister, all of
Perrysburg, o., excepting Charles, of
Bowling Green, o., and Andrew, of
Milan, Mich, and Harry, of
Maumee, Ohio.
Our young friend and brother OBJ
tanned his education in the country
schools and in the Toledo Business
College. For two years he was en-
gagged as bookkeeper in the insurance
business, and for the last five years he
conducted grocery store in Perrys-
burg, Ohio.
Robert, our friend, has gone to sleep!
He left us all behind to mourn and
weep!
We will no longer see his kind and
genial face,
Until we meet again in that much
better place.
However, we will not despair,
Well cast upon the Lord our ev'ry
Well hope and wait while here we
Till comes the time when we will, too,
go home.
Good by, dear friend, and rest in peace,
will cease!
Before the throne Of God again we'll
meet.
And be forever blessed at Jesus feet.
Funeral services were held in Zoar
Lutheran church Wednesday after
noon, Jan. 22nd, conducted by Rev. P.
Kluepfel. Owing to the circumstances
that the mother and wife of the de-
parted could not attend services on
account Of sickness, the corpse was
placed in the mausoleum at Fort
Meigs cemetery and will be disposed
of later.

STICK To YOUR STAMPS
BY James w. Faulkner, Cincinnati
Enquirer.


Demonstration of the fidelity OF
he government to its contract
with the purchasers of War Saw
ings Stamps, recently repeatedly
manifested, is a source of gratifi-
cation. There has not been a sim
gle instance of delay or denial in
the redemption of these little
bonds and the campaign of 1919
is faced, therefore, in a serene
spirit by the committees which, in
1919, oversold the quota assigned
to Ohio. the premier common
wealth of the United States.
Every pledge has been fulfilled.
1T should be the desire of
every purchaser to keep faith in
turn with the government. There
is an implied obligation-not def
mite. indeed. but still tangible
to permit the United States treas
ury to keep this money until 1923.
The need for funds is as acute and
pressing now as at the height of
hostilities. Immense are the bur-
ldens created by the bringing
back of the soldier boys who have
been ordered home and of main
tanning the still huge establish.
ment over there. Then. too, the
cost of feeding the starving mil
lions in Europe in order to ward
of world anarchy is heavy tax
upon our financial resources.
To encourage the saving of
small amounts and to inculcate
permanent American thrift. the
government made the War Saw
ings Stamps its most attractive
form of investment. It pays more
interest than any Liberty bond
AIT per cent-and is redeemable
at any postoffice on 10 days no
tice. an advantage possessed by no
other federal security.
The government will continue
the redemption OF War Savings
Stamps. but holders are advised
that it is the part of sane business
judgment to dispose OF almost any
other form of convertible prop
erty In order to meet an emer-
gency. because, while other things
of value are depreciating, War
Savings Stamps are constantly in
creasing in value. The changed
conditions in the industrial world
call more than ever for prudence
on the part Of the wage Garner
and those whose surplus income
is small. Not only should the
stamps bought last year be re-
tanned, but unusual efforts should
be put forth to add to the accu-
mulated accounts.
Ben Franklin, the evangelist of
thrift In the United States, said:
Stick to your business and It
will stick to you." To the system
attic saver is preached this para
phrase: "Stick to your War Saw
ings Stamps and they'll stick to
YOU"
