The Greatest Dream
 In The World!
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

We're all locking Tor love. why deny it? Tt just as sensible as to claim that we hate spring and despise warm sunshiny days. Water doesn' run up hill and human nature isn't made that way.
 We are all looking for love- Some of us get discouraged at the number of cheap substitutes we are offered and either take one of them in dis gruntled silence, or chatter a lot about the silly romantics who believe in love.
 Some of us are so lonely and lack ing in resources and sef-suffciency that we grab at companionship on any terms. Some of us get swept take the plunge into a sw1rllng stream where we know there are rapids and jagged rocks.
 And some of us snatch at every sum total of moments that will ap- proximate a lifetime of golden hours The final few sheer and ask:
 What is lover"
 They challenge the world to an swer-and it isn't quite sure it knows the answer. In fact the most ideal istic and optimistic blue-sky philoso- pher in the world has moments Of wondering if there can be such thing as that elusive-Love.
 There is I'm sure of it. Though it is given to most of us to glimpse love but briefly, none Of us has been denied our gHmpSe-or must accept a hopeless decree that we are never to achieve the beautiful idet of great love.
 Love is more than the breathless magnetism that som etimes exists be- tween two who hardly speak each others language, who share nothing but the surging desire to touch each others lips.
 Love is more than thrill. More than companionship- More than congeniaIity. More than mutual de- light. More than the sane desire to live out together. Love is more than any of its parts. For it is their sum the perfect entity.
 Love is the electrical attraction that John and Mary feel for each other

John wesIey's Primitive Physic.,

They that be whole need not a phy sician but they that are sick-BibIe.
 No doubt most of us, in thinking of ciate him with the religious field He appears, however, to have been also the author of the very merftorious work having the above title
 It is natural that he who preached cleanliness to be next to god1iness, should in his treatise have laid great stress upon the use or water both in formally and externally. He was in deed, so far as we know, the first writer on hydrotherapy in medical history. Most of his recipes recom- mend water in some form or another.
 Some of the remedies prescribed were rather heroic. For an acute catarrh (which he picturesquely termed running at the nose") the patient was advised to sniff up tea spoonful of spirits of hartshorn. They must have had strong noses in those days. For cold in the head, one was to pare very thin the yellow and thrust roll into each nostril." The sufferer from ague was to apply to the stomach a large onion slit" For violent collie, a live puppy was to ''be held constantly upon the belly" An operation for appendicitis would have been more effective. We fear many deaths followed upon such col ics. which puppies were quite unable
 
 Turpentine was to be applied to ttcut that testers" For dull sight drop in two or three drops of juice of rotten apples often.' The thin skin of an egg shell was advised to be used for court plaster. For the prevention and cure of toothache, the teeth were to be rubbed with tobacco ashes. or one was to be electrified through the teeth, or roasted parings of turnips, as hot as could be en- dured, were to be placed behind the ear, a bruised leaf of botany was to be put up the nose; or a slice of ap- pie slightly boiled was to be held be- tween the teeth
 The first edition of wesley's work was published in London in 17+7. Many years later Bishops Coke and Asbury recommended it to their American followers They recognized the differences in the two countries regarding climate, the Constitutions of patients, and even the qualities of simpies. So that they had Wesley's treatise revised for American use by Dr. William Cornell. of Berkley. Mass, who practised in Boston in 1s45. Cornell added precautionary and explanatory notes and some re- cipes suitable to our climate!

 Next time you are attracted by someone and aren't sure if what you feel is 1ove-or passing infatuation, ask yourself this:
 'tAm I glad I know her? Am I grateful to life for putting such a woman in this world? Do I feel that I'm richer and happier just because she exists-or do I merely want her to satisfy the feeling of the moment ?''

TO THE
 LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFax.
Respect Older Wishes.

DEAR MISS PARTIAL.
 Am a young girl, eighteen years of age, and about seven months ago l Tell in love with young man four years my senior, with whom I work. My parents have not seen this young man yet, and they refuse to let me e,o out with him. They have some other young man whom they want me to go out with.
 Now, do you think I would do ius- tlce to myself and to the young man love by going out with my parents choice? M. C.
 In all fairness, your parents should meet the young man who interests you Then I'm sure you'll be fair enough to recognize that their ma lure Judgment is worth attending You can't be expected to accept a man bEnd1y because your family approves of hfm-but you mustn't expect them to have too great respect for what is likely enough to be matter of in- fatuation, plus opportunity, plus pro- pinQuity.

 All this I've said before. All this others have said before me. But 1t needs to be said over and over again. For youns blood runs like sap in trees as spring comes on. And desire is ready to mistake it's 1ongings for the bigger, saner, more lasting devo- tions that Life needs to build it's house.

 Old Maid of 22 Summers.-Your trouble comes from being negative, and if you are having a lonely time you should begin at once to correct this fault.

This is magnetic and so potent with life that it is felt, creating good fellowship, which puts everybody at ease and conversation takes care of itself You must have this positive quality or you could not retain your position in business.
