ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
by Beatrice Fairfax
Win Her Love.
nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

NEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ For years l have read your
good advice, and so thought you
might help me. Last October l
met a young man who, after a
few months acquaintance, be-
came my husband. His mother,
whom / knew for years, i liked at
first, but through some little mis-
understanding she turned against
me. When we were married he
brought me to live with his
mother. For a while everything
went well, but now i am not
satisfied. His mother idolizes him
and tells him that 1t is me who
is selfish. Now, Miss Fairfax,
don't you think 1t is better for me
to leave mother and son together
and go out In the world and make
my own living rather than to
break two hearts to satisfy my
own? PUZZLED.
CINCE you recognize what a won
~ derful mother this woman has
been to the man you love, why
doesn't your admiration for her
impel you TO try to win her love?
Your job isn't to go out in the
world and make your own living.
It's to conquer what lies right be-
fore Won. Win the woman who is
your beloved's mother.

FOOD FOR WEAK
HEARTS
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

" HE heart muscle never taxes
a rest. 1t never stops work
ing. day or night. This hard
working organ ought to be fed well.
and there are foods that promote It's
activity.
Muscular activity is carried on
largely at the expense of an animal
starch allied chemically to sugar
and known as glycogen. 1t Is known
that the muscle fibers of the heart
will retain their contractility II kept
in a salt solution to which sugar
has been added. The unctional pow
ers of these fibers will also be pro
longed by the addition Of lime salts.
So we have a right to assume,
theoretically, that such substances
ought to prove useful in the foods
Of people with weak hearts-or with
normal hearts, for that matter-and
practically II is found that their ad-
dition to the dietary does good.
Now 1t is, of course, known that
sugar promotes muscular activity
in eDneral and that 1t enables US TO
Withstand fatigue well. The most
important muscle of all, that of the
heart, takes it's share of these bene-
fetal results.
But ordinary sugar Is chemically
irritating to the stomach and favors
the loss of body lime, a substance
which we have shown the heart
needs
The best heart food, according to
DIR. Arnold Lorand, the well-known
physician Of Carlsbad, in Czecho-
Slovakia, is honey, and he has had
much experience with heart disease
in all its phases. He points out that
1t is easily digested and assimilated
and Is laxative.
DR.. Lorand thinks 1t unwise to
leave such a Woodworking organ as
the heart without any food over the
long hours of the night, and recon-
mends that heart patients take at
bedtime a glass of water with some
honey and also to take 1t when
awakening at night.
MIX and eggs are rich in lime. the
other good heart food.

a FIFTEEN-fE AR-DLD high
~ school girl: daughter OF a

Such is a happy girl who went
out to do ordinary Homework dur
ing the last summer vacation period

certainly performed the duties with
dignity and credit.
Now, here Is a genuine standard
for American girls. Pampering and
false pride have made too many OF

sands Of fathers are struggling

families. But when ITS a child

sibility of bringing a girl up too
far?
The admirable thing about our
five-dollar-a-week girl is that she
did not lose her social standing.
The high school girl, who is or
dinarily intelligent; whose hand Is
trained to perform well common
duties like household work; whose
heart is warmed to the point Of
sympathy with common humanity
such is the true American type.
She will look people straight in the

on with his examination. His
movements were quiet, with the
quietude of that torpor which
comes from over-tensioned nerves
and overtaxed feeling.
He refused to be startled, even
to the end. assuring and reassur-
ing himself that he had already
discounted everything upon which
i he might stumble. He imposed
upon himself a restraint which
turned in upon his own soul the
fires to which he refused any free
dom of escape. He had sown his
dragons teeth, and now he could
reap the whirlwind. -. -
The one dominant feeling that re-
manned with him as he tied up the
letters and replaced them in the
makeup box and restored that box
to the trunk where 1t belonged, was
a feeling Of having been duped,
tragically and colossally duped.
Yet even this impressed him as pet
fish and deficient in dignity, trivial
before the gigantic sweep Of pas
upon all such discoveries as his.
Beyond this vague and far-reach-
ing sense of betrayal, however, he
found the equalization of mere sus-
picion into certainty to be shot
through with a coloring of relief.
He knew what he had to fight
against.
Difficult to work.
He had reached the stage, in fact,
when he could stand forlornly
proud of his self-possession. He
even made 1t a point to establish
his self-control by returning to his
work on the proof-sheets. He held
himself to that task with will of
iron, going through them page by
rage, with a sullen and self-defeat-
ing determination.
Often, indeed, Storrow found his
thoughts wandering. But always
he shepherded them relentlessly
back, finding It necessary to read a
sentence several times before its
true import filtered through his
mind. When he had reached the
last page he methodically rearrAnged
the loose sheets, folded them to-
gether, and sealed them in their
brown manila envelope On this
envelope he wrote the name and
address Of his publishers and affixed
an unnecessary number of postage
stamps. OF sE,,cf-tr

When he saw that It, was mid

so high above him he just as au-
