September he joined the army. He told
me that he loved me and asked me TO
marry him when he came back. / have
asked him time and time again to try
TO get a furlough so he could come
down. / learned from his father the
other day that he was in town for few
minutes Saturday. He had two days
furlough and went to his home town
and didn't tell me a thing about 1t. He
has an old sweetheart there and don't
know whether he went on purpose To-
see her or not.

Xmas andN have never heard word
from him. | went TO see his father to-
day and he had just gotten a letter
from him, and he said he was going to
write to me that night. | wrote and
told him how felt about his going to
see his old sweetheart instead Of COM
ing TO see me. / told him II he thought
more Of her than he did OF me 10 say
so, and l would not bother him any
more. Do you think ] did right?
A. C.
I think you acted very hastily when
you wrote as you did to the soldier In
camp. You don't know that he went to
see his old sweetheart and why assume
that which reflects on his love for you?
! trust that by now matters have been
mended between you, and that you have
learned the lesson of not jumping too
soon to conclusions 10 always does TO
give the other person the beneflt Of the
doubt. at least until they have been
proved to be in the wrong.
For some time a young man and
have been good friends, but he always
seemed TO think first Of himself, and
then Of the girl. There were a number
Of young men who would have liked to
come 10 see me, but for the place the
first fellow held. so the last time we
were at a party together, before he had
a chance to look for a street car, an
other took his place and that made
him so cross that he hasn't been around
since. Now there is someone else who
wishes 10 come 30 see me and don't
wish steady company II it isn't the first
young man. I'd rather have the fun Of
being free for while. Can you advise
me as to what to do and say.
X. MI.
II you are not happy as a'result Of
the actions Of the young man with
whom you have been a longtime
friend. most sssuredly you should not
annoy yourself by permitting him to
control your other friendships and your
affairs.

sonal reply, and inclose three-cent

Such arbitrary percentages are i'm
possible to follow in dividing the aver
lge income because they are qualified
)r limited by an infinite variety OF con-
litions. They can only serve as gen.
raj guide.
Another point in household finance
not very generally understood is that
the budget system of dividing the in.
come and the habit of daily household
accounts are not separate finance
methods" They are interdependent.
+, Household accounts are OF little per-
manent value unless they are used for
study or representing the average or
standard Of expenses.
Accurate accounts Of money spent for
food or clothing for six months or a
year give a fair estimate OF what the
monthly expense for those articles will
be. On such estimates the budget-or
yearly apportloning of the total income
Is based. the money distributed so that
there will be no lean periods, and in
manner that leaves a margin for
higher life" as well as provides for
necessities.
The standard Of measurement for
such budgets must be the average
weekly or monthly expenses for the
entire year. That is why accounts are
essential TO good budget making.
Household bills vary from month to
month-sometimes as much as $50 or
500. In fall and spring the clothing bills
are apt TO be larger. In winter fuel bills
are out of proportion TO other expenses,
while in summer, the plentiful fruits
and vegetables make food bills less than
in other seasons. Unless there is
budget no provision is made for extra |
large expenses-and at other times |
there is an excess of income over ex-
pense.
A careful study Of accounts for each |
Item OF expense will show about what
sums should be allowed for each. The
accounts Of one month may be used as
a basis for the expense OF the next, and
so on, until the system has been tried
and studied for a year or two. After a
year 1t Is possible to make fairly reli-
able estimate OF the annual expenses
for each division.
Next week in this department the
practical working of the budget system
will be discussed.

nausea
He tells us TO lay Aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of lad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast while it is eff

tinue this for one week. While relief
follows the first dose, it is important
to neutralize the acidity, remove the
gas-making mass, start the liver,

SPAIN IS READY NOW
Committee on League Participation
Has Report for That Country.


Madrid March ia committee APP
pointed by the government to study
the subject of Spanish participation
in the league of nations has submitted
report which will be considered at
a special cabinet meeting. The gov
eminent entirely endorsed President
Wilson's proposals but reserves its de-
cision as to reductions of ornaments
and the fixing of military forces by
members of the league.
1t is understood that the govern
ment will ask definite assurances as
to the Spanish coast line protectorate
in Africa and the suitability of mill
tary service as social discipline for
Spain. The wish is also expressed that
this country may maintain close rela-
lions with South American nations of
common race origin and language.
Spain will be represented at confer
ences of neutral nations at Paris by
Manuel Gonzales Hontoria, a liberal
deputy, and in 1912 the under secre-
tary of foreign affairs Premier Ro-
manones may also go to Paris.
Senior Hontoria and other members
of the committee who are supporters
of President Wilson's ideas consider
that the findings submitted to the gov
eminent in its report will have pecu-
liar weight both because Spain is one
of the leading neutral nations and be-
cause of the prestige she enjoys
among Latin-American countries fav-
oring the establishment of league of
nations.
Spain is ready to present her views
to the neutral conference on military.
economic and social questions but will
not discuss Morocco, considering her
rights as indisputable and that dis
cuSSion is unnecessary.
