progressive in some lines, have been

in scores was concerned. Neither an

the visitors scored one. Big league
ball was maintained clean up to the
sixth period, when the kings found
their batting stride. and incidentally
Dictah Johnson, who had been hurting
excellent ball for the Alphabets. Eight
runs were scored in the sixth inning
by these ~hard-hitting X. c. boys. The
audience was well pleased with Cur

should wash your face with pure
soap and hot water every night before
retiring and be sure to rinse the face
well. Some good face cream, not too

was impolite to laugh at the children

Sometimes 1t is almost impossible to
keep from laughing at these young

the children. l hope you may talk to

Dear Mrs. Thompson: ! am a young
/ girl 10 years old, and have been going
with a boy about the same age. He
seems to think great deal of me but
! lately he has been acting differently
He came to this town as a stranger
and recently went back to his old
home on a visit. He had a girl there
before he came here, but he told me
they were only friends. Now he hard
ly ever talks to me and I think he
likes the other girl better than me

Do you think 1t Is wrong to go with
boy younger than yourself. Please
tell me how l can make this boy care
for me as he did before he went away.

If the boy likes the girl at home
better than he does you, there Is moth
ing you can do, except to let him
alone Do not show that you notice
his Indifference, or let him think that
you are trying to win him back. Treat
him as friend and try to forget the
whole matter. No, 1t is not wrong to
go with boy younger than yourself,
If he is good company and you enjoy
being with him.

slightest thing without being in misery
afterwards. and I would fill up with
