Bov Borrowed Money

Dear Cynthia-5This is a rather pu2-

like an early reply. l have several
boy and girl friends and we often go

that's all right. though we are all only
fourteen and go to high school
One day one of the boys came to my
house on visit. l suppose because [

to take them that day, as he was wear
Ing his rev suit Then he said: But
l left my money home" ] thought It
was shame to waste the day, so l
loaned the necessary amount, without
thinking about the returning of it, I
think. Of course. he should not have
borrowed the money. but we are all chill
dren anyway and don't know better.
Well this is the third month and he
hasn't returned it yet. ] need the
money row because Easter time is COM

him any, still | cannot think of any way
Of doing SO without hurting his feelings.
sc.
My dear. don't learn to excuse mis-
takes that you know are mistakes by
saying that you are a child and don't
know any better You should not have
offered the money. but since you did, the
boy should certainly pay you back. Has
he ever spoken of it? 1t will be uncom-
Portable for you, my dear, but the boy
will thank YOU later in life, If you let
him know that you expect him to pay
his debts.
Write him a little note and say that
YOU suppose he's forgotten the money he
borrowed from you for his picture, and
as you are a little short these days It
would be a great help TO you If he
could let you have it. Write friendly
cordial letter, but let him know you eX-

will be good health. Even though
your mind may absolutely balk at the
idea devote all your energies to gain
ing it. When you are as blue as in
digo get some fight in you and search
out the best doctor you can find and
tell him to put you on the road to
health. Join a gymnasium class,
take hikes or class of little children
in sewing or anything under the sun
he tells you to do.
Comes the afternoon when all the
world is walking the other way-grit
your tcetn ard so down TO a beauty
expert. Tell her to make a new woman,
of you. Remember, l.. w. B., this
is your bridge, the one you are
going to cross back to happiness the
day your spirit, all of it's own accord,
reaches up for the sunshine.
WITH some the bridge that tides
w from sorrow to happiness is work.
A new line Of work that takes one
entirely away from old surroundings,
or then. again, perhaps new goal in
an old job, one that will absorb every
ounce of energy in your being and
send you to bed at night too weary
for anything but sleep.
Do you understand. l.. w. B., what |
mean by bridge? 1t is nothing more
or less than the determination to go
bravely and increasingly on in spite Of
the unwillingness of the spirit until
that day when the spirit learns the
world is still a bright and happy place
in which to live.

ridiculous she Is making herself in the
eyes Of men, and what is it all about
after all?

words pierced through Ruth's con-
scousness with a peculiar sharpness.

Ruth stole a look at Helen. There
was something so personal in what vi
was saying that Ruth had begun to be
suspicious. Had Helen brought her
there that afternoon because she thought
she needed to hear talk of this kind ?
1t was possible. Instantly rebellious,
Ruth stiffened. She liked Helen, but
that didn't mean that she intended to
agree with her very broad views. After
all, vi Harper and Helen had both
been at college with her. Wasn't this

But these latest little sweaters
can be made up in such bright and
alluring summer colors that they
are simply irresistible in every way
It just remains to find a pretty pat.

claimed, why L read the adventures

lndubitably she's nice woman, and one
of rare discrimination She explained
that these books are slightly shop worn,
which is the reason for their marvelously
low price. A set of four by Kipling, in
Guiding the beloved Light That Failed"
and plain Tales From the Hills" bore

cents a pound. And pound includes
over one hundred sheets Of paper. while

by the same token. IF you cannot run

to do it is by means of pungent cedar

START THIS STORY TODAY

TIME next afternoon, seated opposite
Helen in the crowded little tea room
Ruth felt that she hadn't been so happy
81 contentad in a long time. She
wondered why, for they were jostled by
every waitress who passed them by, the
tables were so crowded together, out
there was a carefree chumminess about
everything. and it was so nice TO be
with Helen again.
Afterward Helen took her off to see
her place, two rooms in an old-fashioned
house right in the heart of the city.
Ruth loved it. The rooms were simply
furnished, and lacked the sketchiness
that Betty Lambert possessed, and Ruth
admired everything, from the arrange
rnent in the back for cooking to the
folding gate-legged table which was the
pride of Helen's heart. The girl who
roomed with Helen was quiet type OF
woman, a little older than either OF
the two girls. Helen explained to Ruth
that she occupied very responsible
position in the advertising concern where
Helen worked.
Out in the street again aftsrward,
Helen said laughlngly, II haven't told
you what we are going to do this after
noon"
'No, what are we going to do?" Ruth
II don't know whether you'll be bored
or not. but i hope not. 1 promised
last week to show up at meeting this

proper for a gentleman to take the

Neither is proper unless the girl is

the pavements are so slippery she would
fall il not supported. Under these
conditions the girl takes the mans arm,

IN PLANNING a meatless menu
:. the housewife must not lose sight
of the fact that these dishes must
contain sufficient bodybuilding ma
terial to take the place of the pro-
tein content of the meat.
Certain vegetables contain a vege-
table protein that fully replaces the
meat, and when it is combined with
milk, cheese and eggs it will make
palatable and attractive foods.
Monotony is frequently the cause
of the family's tiring of these dishes.

4 Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

YTIIE evening gowns which are being
l. shown for spring are really tempt
ing the designs are lovely and the ma
terials are beautiful.
Tule is again in favor as a part of
the evening dresses and in some in
stances the entire frock is OF tulle.
There is something very Elusive about
tulle, which make it particularly ap-
propriate for evening dresses, as these
are really play dresses. and the use of
tulle seems to aid in carrying the wear
er into the world of imagination.
The tulle scarf is now part Of every
evening dress, and quite the very smart
est fad is to have the tulle scarf tone
with ones hair. For instance. woman
who has blond hair should wear scarf
Of a light golden brown. q shade lighter
than her hair. These tulle scarfs should
be worn wound loosely around the neck,
to form a frame for the face. the ends
falling down the back--to a little below
the hips is considered the proper length.
Besides tulle for evening frocks the
other materials used are metal brocades,
satins and plain and figured taffetas. AS
rule the flowered taffetas in large de-
signs are the most favored. l am show
ing you one Of these dresses of howered
taffeta today. I have seen this same
dress both in white taffeta with roses in
shades of pink, with green leaves, and
the same pattern brought out in the
same colorings on a background of
black. The trimmings also were of the
same colorngs The skirt is draped at
the left side and held at the waistlne
with large bow of old-blue velvet rib
bon. The bodice, which is of the taffeta,
is held in place with cream lace, over
tulle. and narrow blue velvet ribbons.

BIG EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts at first sign Of
Bladder irritation or Back
ache

The American men and women
must guard constantly against Kid
ney trouble, because we eat too
much and all our food is rich. Our
blood is filled with uric acid which
the kidneys strive to filter out, they
weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog
and the result is kidney trouble,
bladder weakness and a general de-
cline in health.
When your back hurts or the
urine is cloudy. full of sediment or
you are obliged to seek relief two
or three times during the night if
you suffer with sick headache or
dizzy, pervous spells, acid stomach.
or you have rheumatism when the
weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys; to
neutralize the acids in the urine so
it no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
injure, makes a delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater beverage, and be-
longs in every home. because nobody
can make a mistake by having a
good kidney flushing any time.

Member of Commission That
Framed Charter Under
Which City Now Operates
Says Can't Find Parents of
New,

The new city charter, which will be
submitted to the voters of the city at
the election called for next Tuesday
is attacked by w. p. Metcalf, a mem
her of the, commission that drafted
the instrument under which the city
government now is operating. in a
letter to The Journal
Mr.. Metcalf says:
TO the Journai:
| hope nobody will he deceived by
the anonymous invitation circulated
yesterday into voting for the proposed
new Char,er. Who is it anyway that
proposes to do away with a charter
which the majority of voters adopted,
and accept an abortion like the pro-
posed charter and is afraid to sign his
name to his invitation. Let him dis
close his identity and defend this mon
strosity which he would like to fOist
upon us? So far nobody has had the
hardihood to claim the authorship of
this proposed charter. Can it be posi-
BILE that the dissemination of this ap-
peal for votes is also the father of this
child of unknown parentage?
The present charter was presented
to the people over the signatures of
five well known citizens who are
above any suspicion of acting other
wise than in the interest of the whole
community. The proposed charter is
sired by nobody and viii be damned
by everybody if it ever gets past the
post. All that it proposes can be ac-
complished under the old charter by
majority vote at any time. The pro-
posed new charter does away with
majority rule, introduces much mean
ingless and ambiguous matter and
fails to provide any method of amend
ment. If adopted no change in it
could be legally made. even under the
most pressing necessity. until the next
legislature two years hence and thea
the legislature would have to give us
permission so to do.
If we reject this proposed charter
we are free of the legislature for good
and for ALL our present charter is de-
clared by the rejection to be consti-
tutional and if we want FIVE commits
sioners or twenty-five. we can have
them at any time by simply declaring
a majority in favor of such action.

by a member of the board Boyce
stated that he would refuse 10 issue
the warrants because senate bill 90
barred any department from exceed
ing its appropriation and for the 10
departments which he placed under
the ban there are no specific appro-
priations
The way out of the difficulty, as
credited to a member of the board
of equalization, was said to lie in sem
ate bill 1875, the so called Levy bill"
under which the board is authorized
to levy a tax sufficient, with other
sources of revenue, to defray the NO
cessary ordinary expenses of the state
for each of the fiscal years, to pay the
deficits for the proceeding fiscal year,
to provide a sinking fund and to paw
the annual interest on the state debt"
1t was stated that if the auditor re-
fused to issue the necessary warrants,
this would have to be settled in court
between that official and the DEPART
ments concerned.
