Difference Of Social Standing.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
am writing you for a little ad-
vice on q problem that has worried
and is stiIl worrying me until IT
has gotten on my nerves alarming
~. There is, OF course boy-a
chum Of mine whom ] have known
several years and whom / like inn
menseIy. For the last two years we
haven't seen much OF each other as
I was at school and then he vent to
college, but during this. time he has
written me regularly at least once
a month or a little oftener, sent me
candy and been nice to me.
His people have a good bit OF
money and in a year or so he will
have graduated from one OF the
finest colleges in this country. My
peopIe are poor, Miss FairfsN, and
some OF them have positions that
are not what should like them to
bel work myself and somehow
I feel that there is q great differ
ence OF social standing and II hurts
me so. There is not enEaeement
between US, you know, just chums-
but alas! l ind ] am caring more,
for he is such a fine chap. We are
both about twenty-one-and I don't
know how to cope with this prob
lem.
have teachers training and am
going to teach ultimately, IN the

you think the difference in our
people" more than in ourselves
will create a barrier? He meets

work and just play AROUND" and
look pretty-don't laugh. please,
Miss Fairfax-I am unhappy.
Thanking you In advance

Never Speaks Of Love Wien Sober,
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Would you kindly advise me on
the following s6bject, am twenty
four years OF age and in love with
a gentleman six years my senior.
We have been chums for the past
four months. Now, Miss Fairfax,
do you think a man loves a girl
who never tells her he does, only
when he 10 drinking? / have no one
but myself. so IL makes me very
sad when he acts 30 cold al times.
I told him ,if he did not love me,
we would play quits, but he does
not want me to do that. Is It true a
drunken man speaks 4 sober mans
mind? And by his actions do you
think there Is a spark OF love?
LONESOME RUTH.
do not think this friend Of
yours sounds in the least promis-
ing, and my sincere advice is to
drop him by all means. Any man
who must be under the influence
of liquor to tell a girl he cares
about her is not treating her with
proper respect. Try to become
acquainted with some creditable
young man who does not drink
an easy matter these days.

The fact that you are undecided,
as to your choice, proves that you
do not love either Of them, serious

There is really no reason why mer

Guides Pepto-Mangan furnishes
thin, watery blood with the necessary
to enrich it, enabling it
to supply energy, vitality and
strength to every part of the body.
Physicians recommend GUIDES Pep

ANXIETY OVER The
PRESIDENTS CONDITION
PARALYSIS STORIES STILL PER-
SYST IN WASHINGTON. WILL
SON HAS NOT WALKED.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-There has
been a revival of deep anxiety con-
corning the condition of President
Wilson, giving rise to renewed discus
sion of the difficulties of administer
ing the government for a prolonged
period without an active executive.
Reports persist that the president
is partially paralyzed and that this
accounts for the fact that he has not
walked since he left his bed fort
night ago and that he is signing pa
pers with his left hand.
When Admiral Grayson, the presi-
dents physician, was asked concern
ing the report, he replied:
DIR. Grayson Silent.
81 cannot say anything about that.
must adhere to my policy of neither
affirming nor denying reports con-
corning the presidents illness. He is
improving slowly but steadily i'm
proving. He is attending to such bus
mess as is urgent, but | am permit
ting him to do no more than is alb
solutely imperative"
DIR. Grayson was asked concern
ing the report that the president is
signing papers with his left hand.
"That has nothing to do with the
present illness of the president" saic
DIR. Grayson. "Years ago the presi
dent suffered from neuritis and learn
ed to write with his left hand. Wheth
er i'll or well he has used his left hanc
for writing whenever it was xa,i nece ),
his right hand"
In addition to the white house fam
lily the only persons who have beer
permitted to see the president are
Secretary Tumulty, Attorney Genera
Palmer, Senators Hitchcock and Fall
the king and queen of the Belgian:
and the prince of Wales.

HOW MAD DOGS BITE
is CAUSE OF THE RABIES
Minute Organism in Animals Brain
Induces Sickness.

Minute Organism in Animals Brain
Induces Sickness.
The direct cause of rabies and its
means of transmission is a minute
protozoan or one-celled animal, dis
covered by Negri in 1904, and named
after him the Negri bodies. The pres
ence of these Negri bodies is detected
in the brain or spinal cord of sus-
pcted dog or other animal by mount
ing a portion of the brain or spinal
cord on microscopic slide and stain
ing it with a particular fluid, called
the Giemsa stain.
This stain is taken up by the Negri
bodies and differentiates them clear
ly from other brain tissue. Their
presence in the brain or spinal cord
definitely determines the fact that the
animal was a victim of rabies. This
method of examining the brain or
spinal cord of dog, who has bitten
someone, at once instead of keeping
the suspected animal under observa-
ton for a considerable time enables
the victim to begin treatment imme-
diately, thus greatly increasing his
chances of recovery.

this TEXAS TOWN A
VERlTABIE MAD HOUSE
CRIME is RAMPANT IN OIL CITY
AND LIQUOR FLOWS FREELY.
RESIDENTS LIVE IN TENTS.

Texas rangers have been ordered
to take charge of an unnamed tent
city of 5000 population on the site
of the northwest extension oil pool
of the Burkburnette field, following
an investigation by Adjt. Gen. James
H. Harley, who found the town about
the widest specimen of municipality
he had ever been in.
In appearance and reality the town
is said to be the craziest OF its size
in the world. Riotous revelry, gam
bling, thieving, bootlegging and ev-
cry other kind of lawlessness were
being practiced more or less openly
when the rangers began their effort
to bring order out of chaos and es-
tablish a government.
Town a Veritable Madhouse.
The unnamed town makes no pre-
tense of having streets. It's tents are
set about promiscuously without re-
gard to who may be the owner of the
lots they occupy. In fact, it is town
of nomads.
Only a part of the population of
the city is engaged in legitimate oil
business. The chief purpose of every
other man in the place is to separate
as quickly and deftly as possible the
oil well drillers and other field work
ers from their wages In this the resi-
dents have been notably successful,
maintaining in the city a revelry by
day and night and offering every
chance at excitement as a diversion
for which a worker might be induced
to spend his money.

With corn above SO cents hogs eat
their heads off very quickly. The hog
that takes two or three months to

When you are ready to put your

going well over 200 pounds and as
high as 24o pounds. Figure the aver
