Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
young girl 20 years OF age. There
is a fellow about the same age as
am who lives close to where l
do. Before he went TO war he
thought a great deal of me. but I
did not like him at the time. He
has returned home from war and
since he has been back he just
have learned TO care a great deal
for him. How can I win back his
love? DOLLY DIMPLES.
1t is your pride which makes
you think you care for the young
man. When you could have him
you didn't want him, and now that
he doesn't want you your pride is
hurt. Stop thinking about him and
enjoy yourself with other young
people.
A girl should learn that it is use
less to try to win a man back after
he has dropped her.
Dear Mrs Thompson: l am six
teen years old and have been going
with a boy for almost a year, and
/ love him very much. The other
day he said he was going to smoke
a pipe, which l asked him not OF do,
but he smoked the pipe anyway.
do not think he loves me or he
would not have smoked the pipe.
Please advise me what TO do
about going with him anymore.
BROWN EYES.
The boy should not have smoked
when you asked him not to. 1t
seems to me he is rather young to
begin bad habits. Probably he
thinks smoking is Smart" and II
he does he will go further and con-
slider other bad habits smart"
think you should drop him if he
continues to disregard your re-
quest. At your age you should be
very careful not TO go. with a young
man who is gaining for himself a
reputation of being fast"
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I wanted
to go to school this fall, but cannot

Tor in high school. I would like to
finish my high school course be-
cause I want TO teach What would
you advise me to do?
A SCHOOL GIRL.
About the best you can do is to
tall to the principal of the school
and see if you can learn OF some
place to stay in that way Prob
ably you could only get your board
and room. because it would not pay
any one to give a school girl more.

time that she cannot do a great
deal of work around the house Do

sign of one of the following: An

this true? IN. F. Nj
Answer.-No. Usually such spots
are caused by trif1ing injuries. A

illness or accident, and gradually
grows out in the course of three or
four months. Certain skin diseases
may involve the nails and distort

Answer-Leucorrhea is merely a
symptom, often of no significance
or Importance, but not indicative
of any particular condition and
therefore not amenable to any par
ticular remedy or treatment The
idea that a tonic" whatever that
may be-would be particularly
helpful for a female or a male in

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
married woman, thirty-iive years OF
age, and have seven bright and
good looking children. My husband
at one time was a very hard drinker
and gambler and had to work and
make most OF the living, but for
some time now he has got down to
real business. He stopped drinking
and gambling and went to work
and brought his wages home TO me
and stayed at home every night.
But the saddest part is now hap
pening. Some weeks ago he was
laid off from his work on account OF
falling on OF business and IL seems
to be making him cross with me
and the children at home. He looks
downcast all the time and will
hardly talk with me except 70 ind
fault with me and everyone else.
The other day 1 suggested that
ought to do some kind Of work 20
help out and he got very angry
with me about il and told me to get
divorce from him-that he Wa
not worthy OF me- He said that both
of US were still young and that
some day | may get the kind OF
home he was trying TO give me.
Do you think my husband has lost
his love for me? Should J do some
kind OF work What should ! say 20
keep his mind off his past life2
DISCOURAGED.
Your husband has not lost his
love for you. He has lost faith in
himself. Tell him that you do not
want a divorce-that You consider
this last encouragement test or
his character and that he will not
fail. Encourage him TO work no
matter what he has 10 do. Business
will surely pick up in a few months
because of export trade. If he
bridges over the period OF depres-
sion with work which is not worthy
of his ability he may be sure he can
get something better later. Work no
matter what kind, will keep his
mind of himself and prevent him
from getting into the bad habits
which idleness causes.
Do not work unless you can not
manage otherwise Let him know
that you have faith in his ability TO
take care of his family.
Keep him busy. II he does moi
work away from home, see that he
is busy around the house.

person who has inherited syphilis,
if there be any offspring, would
probably be weak and poorly de-
veloped and short lived, because
the parent is defective.
In spite of older opinions, it is
now believed extremely improbable
that hereditary syphilis would fail
to manifest itself before the sixth
year. When instances OF inherited
syphilis manifesting itself for the
first time in adolescence or early
adult life arise, the chances are
that manifestations in infancy or
childhood have been forgotten or
ignored or not recognized. Syph-
ills is such a protean disease, with
so many and various manifesto
tons, that it is ignored or mistaken
for other conditions every day.
