QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Hair and Energy.
Is it possible for a girls or wom-
ans hair to sap her energy il it
grows very heavy and long? My
hair has grown luxuriantly and |
feel dreadfully tired a great deal OF
the time. l have been told that a
woman's hair may take her
strength. Please explain that. (Mrs.
M. F. d.
Answer-It is not possible for
the hair to sap energy. II that
were q physiological principle
| bald neaded men would run this old
world completely off its bearings
| There are certain disease states
such as exophthalmic goitre OF
hyperthy-roidism, in which the hail
may grow with extraordinary vigor
and at the same time the patient be-
comes weak and possibly such as
sociations account for the supersti-
ton. AS / have said repeatedly
there is never excuse or justifica
ton for cutting a woman's Or girls
hair so far as the health and wei
being of the woman or her hair arr
concerned.
Circumcision.
Is it necessary to consult a rabbi
in order to be circumcised? Will i
improve the health of a boy ~
years old to have it done? Is i
ever done at more advanced age
Are there any i'll effects or risk
from the operation? Must ether o.
chloroform be given? tM. F. d.
| Answer-The family physician
should be consulted about such ;
matter. If circumcision is for an,
reason necessary it may improv
health. In my Judgment it is re
quired only when the condition pre-
vents cleanliness or obstructs tn
flow of urine. 1t is often done at
more advanced age. 1t may be don
under local anesthesia in patient
over five years; under that as
usually ether is given.

N y 4 MRC. ELIZABETH THON4PSONl

Dear Mrs. Thompon: I am a
young man 20 years Of age. l have
finished college and have gone out
into life. While l was in college /,
like nearly all the other boys, went
to see several girls, but seldom
had more than one girl at time.
My fckleness was the cause OF my
changing 90 often.
For a short time l would have
one girl, thinking l loved her, and
then l would find another. l
would tell the girl of my love and
in the majority Of cases 1 am sure
it was returned. The moment l
was satisfied Of this my love for the
girl gradually faded away until /
cared for the girl but little and
from that to nothing.
Today I am puzzled over the sit
uation I am in. I still correspond
with at least eight girls and from
the letters l get each one seems to
be perfectly satisfied that love her
and that some day I will claim her
as my bride. But can claim none,
for I love none. I can't make up
my mind to tell them that I care for
no one. Several have told me OF
their hope chests and Of the ex-
treme happiness they would enjoy
Ton our wedding day.
What should one do in this posi-
ton? What is even more import
ant, what can do to stop myself
from attaching my affections to a
girl for only a short while and then
SEQ it dwindle away before my eyes !
Any advice will be sincerely ap-
preciated and accepted with q glad
heart. T desire to do right. In every
other way ! sesm to be well settled.
SINCERE F1CKLENESS.
Nckleness such Is you say you
have = q sad possession. It brings
ullhappiness to these who would be
your friends and In the end Will
react upon you.
The only way out Of your din
Guilty is to be honest. Write TO each
and every one a the eight girls and
admit that yoa have been . cad.
Say that you love no one and that
you can no longer pretend to q love
you do not feel.

portant economic minerals and is OF

matter accumulates under water q
undergoes slow process Of de-
composition. Peat, the material SC
often found underlying swamuy
tracts in north temperate zones
represents the first stage in the

er stages are obtained by the burial
OF these vegetable deposits under
great loads of sediment when tney
are subjected to pressure and al
times to heat also.

of course, from the French blanc
representing the absence of color,

The first historical character
who bore the name from which
Blanca was directly evolved was
Blanca of Navarro, the Queen OF
Sancho ~ Of Castillo, from whom
it was bestowed upon her grand
daughter, the child of Eleanor

John, employed as the lure by
which Philippe Auguste was de-
