fluenza follows colds and then
pneumonia.

Wishes 70 Leave Home.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
/ have come to ask you for advice.
/ am a girl, 10 years Of age. am
living with my aunt, as my mother
is dead. She treats me cruelty and
would like to get away from here.
But she will not let me go. She
thinks l do not know how to be-
have when out with the boys There
is boy out west who l think a
good deal Of 1 met him this sum-
mer and since I came home we
have been writing off and on. Do
you think 1t all right to go against
my fathers and aunt's will? have
a brother and another aunt living
in the same town as this sweetheart
Of mine lives.
Please do not print question in the
paper. Please give me some advice ?
Thanking you ever so much, am,
ANXIOUS.
You are old enough to know how
to behave around the boys, but per-
haps you do not. / have known wo-
men who never learned-and some
who just naturally knew without
learning. If your aunt is really cruel
there is no need for you to remain
with her, but I am inclined to be-
lleve that you lack courage to do
anything.

supplies with economy in consump-
ton.
Pork products, dairy products,
vegetable oils: A shortage of about
three billion pounds.
Beef: Sufficient supplies to load
all refrigerating ships to capacity.
Sugar; Sufficient supplies for our
normal consumption If other ma
tons retain their present short ra-
ton; a shortage if they increase
their rations.
Coffee; A. surplus.
Famine the Mother of Anarchy.
One other fact stands out from
our summary. Last winter-war;
this winter-famine. Apropos Of
famine I quote from Mr.. Hoover's
address to the Federal Food Admin
istration: IF we value our own
safety and the social organization
of the world, If we value the preser-
walton OF civilization itself, We can
not sit idly by and see the growth Of
this cancer in the worlds vitals.
Famine is the mother Of anarchy.
From the inability Of governments
to secure food for their, people
grows revolution and chaos. From
an ability to supply their people
grows stability of government and
the defeat of anarchy, Did we put
it on no higher plane than our in
terests in the protection Of our in
sfifufions we must bestir ourselves
in the solution Of this problem"
The watchword, then, for 1919 is
Economy and Simple Living
even If you happen to be one of the
very small minority who can seorn
the high cost Of living.

Who Doesn't Need Friendsa
So unless one wishes to be a re-
cluse, there's a good deal of one
self left. over to devote to friend
ship. And while the close sisterly
friendship Of women, and the COM
radeships of men, are indispensable,
| suppose that really the,most slim
ulating friendship in the world is
that between a man and a woman.
And that is because of their diff
ferences, their contrasts. They are
sure neker to feel quite the same
about anything, or to think quite
the same. And comradeship is
more of an adventure when you
never can tell in advance in just
what way your comrade will think
and talk and act.
Then, man and woman who are
good friends bring out the best in
each other, keep each other on the
alert. They are less likely to take
each other for granted, to fall into
kind of mental slovenliness, than
men are in their friendships with
each other, or than women are.
There can scarcely, in fact, be a
more interesting relationship short
of love itself, than an informal
comradeship between a man and a
woman who have tastes in common.
Is there such relationship in
your life? And, if there isn't, don't
you wish there were?
The really wise way to take life is
TO think of love as mysterious, a
divipe surprise, unforeseen and I'M
foreseeable Arrange your life and
live it as if love didn't exist. per
haps this sort of game, too, but
its an innocent one)a Reach out
for all the friendships that are open
to you, whether with men or
women. This world is as interest
ing a place as any of US can con-
ceive of. Don't you long to talk to
somebody about the things you per-
sonally find in it! You, yourself.
have perhaps an interesting mind
and personality. Don't you need
to exchange your thoughts and
guesses and enthusiasts with
somebody who will understand?
/ can assure you that you will be
far happier, taking life in this way,
than if you persistently remained
blind to all that the universe can
offer, short of the one supreme gift
OF love. Love will really mean a
great deal more to you if you
haven't had share in contriving it,
if you haven't spent too much care
in setting the scene and turning the
lights low, and in arranging your
own piquant and irresistible per-
soanl effect.
The richest and most rewarding
love will come, of ,urse, to the
man or woman who isn't too impa-
tiently expecting it. That is the
way of love.
It is likely to descend with its
magic suddenness upon such a girl
as my correspondent, who isn't
greedy about the gifts Of life, who
is unself-conscious and who has t. E
gift of understanding friendship.
So ! implore her to overcome that
Encouragement she feels, to insist
on her right to friendship without
love, when that is what she wishes.

there are many men in the world
who need woman friend 7uite as
much as she may need friend who
isn't lover And I hope one Of
them may encounter her.

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

/ Does a woman always regard a
man as a possible lover?
Does a man value a woman only
as she suggests romancel
Are there no sympathetic friend
ships between men and women into
which even the thought of love
never enters?
All these questions are asked, as
they have been asked many times
before, by a girl who has written
me in actual despair.
Il am lonely and need friends,
she tells me. "And friendship
means everything to me, for, so far
| haven't experienced love. / am
getting discouraged. Three times |
have begun what seemed to me a
real friendship with young man,
and yet each one of them has shown
me that he cared nothing for me as
a friend. When / refused to let
them make love to me they didn't
care TO come to see me any more.
Are all men like that? | don't
think it can be my fault, because
am not the kind of girl who tries
to make men fall in love with her"
Now / know quite we'll that there
are many worldly-wise folk who
would confirm this girls fears. They
would assure her that honest
friendship between men and women
is delusion, and that unless she
attracts him as lover there is no
man on earth who will take her
friendship seriously, or trouble to
waste his evening in mere talk with
her.
Two Kinds Of Girls.
And, unfortunately, far too many
young people are Of this way Of
thinking. Too many thoughtless
youth divide the feminine universe
into captivating girls, peaches, +"
whom they are sure they could
love, for a while, anyway, and
whom they intend to make love to
the minute they hayea chance-and
the less conspicuous kind, whom
they don't care to exchange a word
with.
And too many precocious young
girls regard any young man they
may encounter merely as so much
material out Of which an admirer
and ultimately a sutton can be art
fully made.
But you will admit that these are
the mistaken ones, who regard love
as a game, to be played very
shrewdly. They are not the ones
who understand the reality of love.
And so they are not the ones to
whom we look to decide this matter
of love and friendship.
Ii you think of all the men and
women in the world as engaged
in a cold-blooded business Of secur-
ing profitable partners for them
selves, at any cost-if that should
be the sad meaning that love has
for you-then you won't be able to
see any place for mems and wom-
ems friendships.
Bull believe the truth is quite
different. =
believe there is room in the
world for love and friendship both.
In the first place, no one life can
be altogether given up to love. Real
love is rather a rare visitor. If we
are very young, and perhaps rather
silly, she may devote a large
amount Of time and thought to
Irritation, but that's another matter.
Many people love but once in life
time. Moreover, love doesn't al
ways come when one is is, breathe

no answer as yet. Miss Fairfax, my
question is this; Would you advise
me to accept him? My folks think
him wonderful man, a gentleman
and an all-around nice fellow. I
have never let him kiss me- until
last night, and then I could not help
it. / love him so much I could NOT
resist. My parents love me aud are
leaving the question for me to de-

the young man is all that you say
about him, why not marry? Yau

DEPENDS ON GERMANY
Powers Will Raise the Blockade
When Berlin Ratifies.
Decision Means All Nations Can Re-
sumo Trade Relations on an
Equal Footing.

Washington, July 1.-The superior
blockade council has been instructed
to be prepared to raise the economic
blockade of Germany Immediately up
on ratification by the German National
Assembly of the Peace Treaty.
The action, officials here explained,
means that upon Germany's ratiflca'
ton of the treaty all restrictions upon
trade with Germany may be removed.
Without requiring individual ratif1ca'
ton by the Allied and associated pow
ers, all of these nations may have an
equal start in the race for German
trade.
Raising of the blockade without
awaiting individual ratification was
said by officials to mean more to the
United States than any other nation
because final approval Of the treaty
owing to governmental machinery
probably will require longer here than
in the other countries.
lone result of the decision II car.
ried out will be to give the senate un-
limited time for consideration of the
treaty.
The resolution recently introduced
by Senator FALL Republican, New
Mexico, to declare the war at an end
was designed to enable the United
States to begin business relations with
the Germans and to relieve the senate
of a pressure that might be brought
to bear by business interests.
