There are good acts IN this
world that would seem folly some
times to me. For instance, II boy
in his place. standing at the head
of his family. should become Ill
from too much overtime work.

Your point about the boys health
is good. / stand corrected and real

importance in not cautioning him
to consider his health first in order
to be Of greatest help to his family.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am .

Please advise me what to do. - 1
am deeply troubled.
WORRIED BILL.
II you have lost the girl. try not
to grieve. Surely It 10 better to
know before marriage than aftor
that she does not love you.
There may be some good reason
why she is not writing. I would
advise you to write to her asking
her to be very frank about her re-
gard for you. Tell her that II she
no longer loves you. you want her
to tell you the truth.
You are only young man and
will recover from his disappoint-
ment, I assure you.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS,
Talking In Sleep,

Is there any cure for talking in

little stomach trouble occasionally.
I never eat late supper, and take

Answer-Oh, what difference does
it make whether 1t il nervous" or
not? Or whether 1t is Junction

istries to the old maids and the
long distance healers. The evidence
shows that you sleep too lightly.
An excellent soporific is daily out

Working with Fornaldehyde.

A man working in formaldehyde
in q room where the odor is in
tense. has violent sneezing and
coughing spells and smarting and
COMPOSITIONS Of the eyes. Is the for
maldehyde injurious to the eyes,
nose or throat? Could q person
contract Tuberculosis from It? I
have heard it affects the mind and
in years one working around it be-
comes crazy. Is that true?
M. J. c.
Answer - Frequent exposure to
formaldehyde produces inhamma-
ton and liberation In the nose and
sometimes In the bronchi. This
condition would render the individ-
ual an easy prey to infection with
tuberculosis germs, though he can
not contract tuberculosis from for
maldehyde, Of course. It does moi
cause insanity. Installation Of ap-
propriate ventilation equipment
would probably prevent serious in.

Shooting Into Space.

The question of whether 1t would ever be possible to shoot prOJectile into space, that Is to say entirely orf the earth, has long been the subject of discussion. In a detailed scientific paper on the German longranged gun which bOmbarded Paris last spring, Major J. Maitland Addison, writing in the Journal Of the Royal Artillery, says the requisite velocity of such gun Is not so very much higher than what has already been achieved; viz, a uuEEle velocity of q mile per second. When We are able to increase this to i've miles per second, the prOjectile, fl fred st suitable angle, will travel around the earth as grazing satellite, completing its orbit between r and IS times daily. With a velocity of about seven miles a second, 1t will move off into space, never to return.

 All, the guests cried with joy when they saw 1t, and the fairy queen did a beautiful dance as her thanks for the compliment which Peter Gnome had paid her.
 And then they all danced while the many lights in the fountain played. They were of one color at time, but they changed so fast that it seemed as though the fountain had many, many different colors in 1t at the same time.
 And they all cheered Peter GnOme for his beautiful party, his slush cas- tie. the beautiful presents and his faIryland fountain, for they had all had, q marvellous party, full of sur priseS.
