HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BIZ MRS. ELIzApErn THOMPSON.


Dear Mrs. Thompson: There is
boy at high school whom 1 admire
very much. How SHOULD I try to win
his attentions and yet not seem to be
forward? Is it true that II a boy
knows he can have a girls affections
he will not seem to care for her?
Is it proper to play kissing games,
at party? Should girls between
the ages of fifteen and seventeen kiss
boys? TWO GIRLS.
You cannot deliberately try to at
tract the boys attention without be-
ing forward. Let the matter drop
and if you become friends later, let
it be because he has sought yor.
Boys like to pick out their own girls
and as rule do not choose girl who
gives away her affections without be-
ing asked.
kissing games are in bad taste.
There are so many other enjoyable
games that it shows lack OF resource
fulness to stoop to such a thing.
THANK You. Yes. I think you
should marry the man. For the sake
of your child it will be better to marry.
Since the young people look down
upon you. 1 would advise you to move
to another city where you are not
known. There the people will accept
you for your present worth and not
condemn you because of a mistake
you. made in the past. Do not force
your presence upon. people who do
not want you, as you are thinking Of
doing now.

WHEN WILL 1T END?

As a starter in a contemplated war
on the high cost of living Attorney
General Hopkins is asking the legis-
lature for an appropriation OF $4,000.
ostensibIy to be spent in Investigation.
Almost every effort of government,
state or national, to reduce cost of liv-
ing in the United States has been fol-
lowed by an advance in prices, and,
sometimes, by waste of material.
When the food administration, ig-
norant of practical business, issued an
edict against the killing of lambs. on
the theory that it would Be better to
raise the lambs to full-grown sheep,
the practical herders of the range
states submitted facts to the govern
mental bureau resulting in a direct re-
versal of the order and an advice to
the people to eat more lamb. When
an effort to curtail milk consumption
ruin, the movement was reversed and
people were urged to use more milk.
Altho charging the private managers
with waste, extravaganza and exces-
sive rates, the government managers
advanced rates as soon as they took
control and then proceeded to accumu-
late a deficit, not only in railroad
mana cement, but in the telephone and
telegraph business as we'll. The pa
ternalistic spirit had another mani
festation when the food administra-
ton asked the dining cars to cut down
the size OF portions served to patrons
without also asking them to cut down
the price.
In the early days of the war the
people were urged to eat whole wheat
flour; then it was discovered that toe
much whole wheat flour was damag-
ing to health. They were told to eat
rice in order to keep down prices OF
other things and rice quickly advanced
to almost prohibitive prices. And for
this kind of ignorant laundering the
people are paying and are asked &c
continue to pay.

It is pointed out by Samuel T. Howe,
state tax commissioner, that so per
cent of the real estate mortgages ex-
listing in Kansas escape taxation. This
fact strongly accentuates the injustice
resulting from the law which levies a
tax on this class of property. The
borrower is compelled to pay an in
terest rate high enough to cover the
tax, while the state does not receive
the money WHICH is legally its due.
If the state persist in it's determine
ton to tax mortgages then the prop
erty on which the Indebtedness rests
should be exempted to the amount of
the debt In claiming this exemption
the maker of the mortgage might be
required by a new law to give the as
SCISSOR the name of the mortgage,
which name. with the amount of his
mortgage set opposite, could then be
placed on the tax rolls. In case of a
transfer of a mortgage the original
holder could be required to make pro-
vision for the payment of the tax. Mr..
Howe also calls attention to the fact
that real estate is assessed at 100 per
cent of its value, but it is we'll known
that much of 1t is appraised for taxa
ton at a figure above that which it
will bring in the market.
