HOW TO GAIN FLESH :
Make 1t So That Your Daily
Food Will Properly Nour-
iSh Your Body.

Everybody every day eats enough
to produce normal weight and rich
blood, if the food is properly assimi-
lated, but weak, thin people are not
withstanding undernourished, because
their food is not properly digested
and goes through their system with
out leaving one bit of the body and
flesh building elements needed for
good health.
Now to correct this condition and
get adequate nourishment from the
daily food, a good tonic is needed
There are many people in this city
that know from personal experience
that Vinol will retsore normal appe-
tite and perfect digestion, enrich the
blood, and thus create flesh and
strength. Try it. It has been sold
here for years and has a splendid
reputation.-Adv.

ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
A TICKLE SWEETHEART.
BY Beatrice Fairfax

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX
1 went with a young man for
three months and saw him about
four nights each week. He seems to
care a great deal for me, and L in
turn thought the world of him. He
was drafted and was away for eigh-
teen months, during which time 1
wrote to him three or four letters
each week. He always answered
my letters and sent me my little
gifts. While he was on board ship
returning to the United States he
wrote me a card stating that he
would be on land within three days
and would see me at once. After
the ship landed, 1 waited but did not
hear from him for about ten days. I
could not imagine what happened, so
wrote a very nice letter to him ask
ing for an appointment so that he
could explain the delay. We met,
but he seemed very cold. After that
he would call me up and make ap
pointments, but would not keep
them. What shall 1 do
ANXIOUS.
The terrific experience of the war
did strange things to many soldiers.
They saw and lived through things
going about its own way in the midst
of enjoyments and wealth seem
alien and cruel when the. returned.
Many of their dreams eluded them.
They cannot always explain them
selves. 1t is more than likely that
the young man who is hurting you
so is going through some queer ex-
perience in his own soul. Why don't
you try to be a friend to him in
stead of demanding explanations the
minute he disappoints you?
MAKE A FIGHT FOR TT
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
L am twenty-one years of age and
am in love with a young lady three
years my junior. We love each other
dearly. and she is willing to wait
about three years for me until we
have accumulated enough to start a
comfortable home. The young lady
was brought up in comfortable cir
cumstances and has always had what
her heart desired. Her folks object
on the ground that she will be I'M
happy is she cannot have everything.
They want her to stop going out with
me, as they want her to marry a we'll
to-do prosperous young man. Now
she does not know as to whether she
is in duty bound to obey her parents
or to let love take it's natural course
AS to me, I don't know whether
should leave her or stay. X. V. u.
The girl of today is not often
equipped to help a poor man make
his way in the world. If parents
were to train girls to understand
their share of marriage and to be will
ing to start a simple scale and
make sacrifices to pay for their hap
piness, such problems as yours would
not arise. But these parents want
to see their daughter surrounded by
luxury, missing the fact that it is not
worldly goods which will bring hel
happiness. I hope that if your love
is big and honest and unafraid, you
will make a fight for it.

now I could offer myself in COM
plete surrender.
In the refuge of my husbands
arms I was utterly contented, for
getting for a moment even the pain
I had seen deeply etched on his race
this was where I belonged l
felt the wonder of his love-of tho
strength of his arms again-my boy
had come home!
When he spoke there was in his
voice the tender notes that stir me
so: =
Little girl, it is you who must
| forgive"
But I put my hand across his lips.
There was no need of words he
| tween us-we had found each other
again. He started to kiss my hand
then he lifted it up and kissed my
| lips instead.
The world was shut out. We
| two were the world. And it was a
world of happiness. Life seems to

great humorist, revealing in con-
trasts-in the swing of the see

way back into my consciousness

| which Jim longed to go. I had a
glazing moment of viSion-a sharp

There was still work for men like

| With lips and eyes that were dry
| and burning, I put into words my
victory over myself:
Jim, my darling, I am ready tc
let you go. Ready to-give you back
| to do your share
! Jim 1oosed his arms from about
among the cushions of the couch.-As
! he stood towering above me, I no.

"Oh, my boy, you are worn out
| You hurried too fast to come back

My words were meaningless funab-

He answered me very quietly.

I leaped to my feet and caugh

dead voice, he went on:

II am. When yoou understand,
Jim. you'll see that you haven't been
fair. I thought the Walgrave too ex-
pensive, and the impudent little clerk
made me so miserable last night when
came in from dining with Captain
Winston
"Oh, so you dined with Winston,
too" sneered my husband.
"Oh. Jim, won't you understand?
Captain Winston took me to dinner
because I was your wife. He made
me understand that you would have
togo back to France. I've been try
ing to prepare for that today"
Perhaps you will claim that is the
reason for your sudden novel"
Yes, Jim, I was Jealous, too, when
your letter came this morning. It
was so full of Betty I got-desperate.
And then thought If we had a home
you'd be contented while you were
here. Truly. have been trying to act
like a soldiers wife"
Jim answered me YEARLY.
"a soldiers wife doesn't make him
look like a fool by doing the things
you've done. You've made a muddle
of things, Anne. Everything is in a.
muddle.''
The anger drained out Of his voice.
1t was tired and limited of pain be-
yond all reckoning.
"Are you disappointed in me?" I
asked sadly.
He smiled impatiently. There was
grim suffering in that smile-a touch
of pain more cruel than the bitterness
our quarrel had held.
Eyes, I'm disappointed. all right,
said my husband YEARLY.
And then I knew there was some
thing more-something he had met,
and suffered alone.
CHAPTER XXI
My husband and I sood staring at
each other across a black chasn OF
anger and misunderstanding.
My face was burning and my breath
was coming in quick jerks-ugly
words were forming in my mind and
making ready to leap to my lips and
hurl themselves at Jim.
Then suddenly 1 saw him-saw him
consciously, I mean. He was pale. He
breathed slowly in deep 1abored
gasps. His appearance and his man
ner were very differ>,nt from mine
that I realized. Why?
Gradually the answer dawned up
on me. 1 was only aAigry-a temper
airy thing. Jim was suffering-suI-
fering deeply. He was in actual
agony that went far deeper than the
humiliation I had caused him. II
must date back to Washington. What
had happened there?
AS I realized his unhappiness
realized also that I had added to il
by my recklessness in knowingly my
anger. I was sorry for that in my
very soul. And I began to hate who.
ever or whatever had hurt my boy
f-Anne Harrison or the officials Of
her country.
"Dear-forgive mel" I cried. &c
wanted to do the wise thing ant
I've bungled. 1 see now how stupid
1 was to move. Please-please for
give me. I was thinking of you
not any other ----
All the anger drained out Of Jim's

CHAPTER XIII.


Almost as if some blessed miracle
had happened, Jim walked to his
first morning in our new home in
frame of mind that seemed to be-
long to the Fearless JIM of the old
days in the aviation. He was gay,
hopeful and boyish-the agony of the
night before seemed like bad
dream-my dream, not Jim's.
When, after breakfast, We resolv-
ed ourselves into a committee OF
ways and means and approached the
question I had been dread1ng since
the night before-'tWhat can you do
to earn a living ?"-my husband
stared at me in high good humor.
..Wen, you certainly are a game
little sport, Anne Harrison! You
you sure did take chance-marry-
ing me without knowing whether l
could even-keep you in shoe laces. !"
I stared at my husband in amaze
ment-was there nothing he could
take seriously? And then back of
his light words I glimpsed a struge
gle to master himself to hide some
trouble from me. Still with the
tense grip on himself that masked
under idle laughter, he went on, ex-
alting me as he spoke:
'.You little wonder! Why-I might
| have been the butcher, the baker,
the candlestick maker"
st would \ have married you If
you'd been-a chimney swept!
cried passionately.
