During the past year the Salvation
Army in this city has made wonder
full progress. No longer is it a mere
haven for dere1icts and others on
over it has taken a high place in the
ranks of the premier charitable and
welfare organizations. Since prohibit
ton the work has become less
strenuous but the leaders and work
ers can always find places and homes
and people who will be all the better
for a little bit of help. Instead of
the dismal grey house which stood
for a number of years on Elm street,
as the headquarters of the\ Army,
!A1e organization now has one Of the
best and most moderately equipped
buildings in the city, besides fine
hotel for working men,
The headquarters was opened last
June. From the outside it presents
a. very pleasing appearance, which
are enhanced by a most novel corner
stone bearing the name Of the organ
ization and the slogan "a man may
be down but he is never out All
the furnishings of the building are
in oak. The walls are of white
plaster trimmed with green wood In
the Easement is one large stock room
where all relief goods are stored.
Clothes of all sizes and description
are packed there and when the time
and need comes they are given to the
poor people of the city. The fur
mace and hot water heater are splen-
did affairs of the very latest type
Both apparatuses are covered with
four coats of asbestos. The furnace
is a self-regulator and needs very
! little attention. There are also show
er baths for use after gymnasium

On the main floor is the com

MARRYING A COUSIN.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
L am twenty years old and am
in love with cousin, four years
my senior. I have been with him
since childhood. I know he cares
for me, but acts in a sort of
brotherly way He is leaving to
stay a year. He promises to write
often. but still has not mentioned
anything to me to make me be-
heve he capes for me.
l CAN'T get my childhood ideal
out of my mind. What would YOU
advise me to do?
L. r.
Though modern science has some
thing to say for the other side,
think it has not vet been proved
that cousin-marriases are right Or
wise. I don't see why you should
feel THAT your cousin cares for you
in any but the brotherly fashion
you say he shows of being fond OF
you. I am fairly certain that once
he is away a little strength of char
acter will help you to conquer what
seems both a one-sided and an Ill
advised love.

HOW TO CURE
INSOMNIA


Insomnia is one of the penalties of
the increasing strain, of modern life
throws upon our brains. The man
who works with his muscles and lives
in the open air is rarely the victim of
nerves or sleeplessness. The essen
tails for a good nights rest are men,
tai repose, a requisite amount of mus
cular fatigue, comfortable body heat
and plenty of good ventilation in the
room in which one is sleeping.
The most difficult of these to Sc
cure is lessened brain activity. An
excellent plan is to take a brisk walk
half an hour before retiring, followed
by a hot bath, a good rub down and
a. warm, not hot, glass of milk. If, in
addition, the mind be focused on
some pleasant, but not exciting topic,
a good nights rest is assured to all
but the most chronic sufferers. An
other good remedy from sleeplessness
is to take a cup of hot tea made from
stepped celery seed.

ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
By Beatrice Fairfax

Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 know a girl who is going about
with man. One day I happened to
be introduced to him. He instantly
seemed to take a liking to me and
at last told the other girl he did not
want to go about with her as he no
longer cared for her. 1T took him
a long time to say this, but she had
supected it, and it seems to me that
she loves him. She would not pare
from him. He likes me. I know, as
well as I like him, but I could never
go around with him because of the
first girl. 1 have tried to bring them
together He is very sociable, and
they talk, and he takes her home,
but she then begs him ito come again
and he only does so because he is
sorry for her. WILMA S.
When a man no longer cares for
a girl he does her no kindness by
yielding ITO his own weak desire. to
make thinss easy and see her. If the
man in the case really takes no in
terest in the other girl, he's only
making things harder by seeing her
and giving her a little kindness when
she wants so much more.
A Dangerous Risk.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Il am almost engaged to man
love dearly, but there is one bad
feature about him. He has a
very good position but is not able
to stand the work his position re-
quires.
My parents advise him ITO find
something else. One minute he
can do this and the next he can
do that, but he wants, from the
beginning, position that re-
quires little experience and gives
large wages. On one job he
claims he is liable to lose his eye
sight and on the other he saws
| that firm may keep him over
| the rush season, but lay him off
later, thus leaving him in the same
predicament he is in now.
Would you advise telling him ITO
| make good first and then come back
He is "a and 1 am %. Do you think
| such an attitude on his part now
| will also cause trouble in the flu
| ture?
am as poorly impressed with
your near frances money max.

sounds like the fault finding sor
of man who cannot take correction
The job seems always wrong - bu
4 never he. 1 think you'd be taking
a dangerous risk to marry a mar
who has not proved that he is will
