POISONED MIND.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
A young lady with whom I have
been going steadily for the past six
months has just refused my FRO
posal of marriage because she says
she has lost faith in all man. 81
says that ! have not given her cause
to lose faith in me, but that anoth-
er young man who has been a call
er for the past two years and in
whom she had great faith Pc sist-
emily told petty lies - he mot
meaning any harm, she says), and
thus caused her to lose trust in all
men. She never told him of bis ir-
ritable actions because she has been
30 intimate with him and because
he has been calling for so long
time, but she has stored them up
within herself and consequently
bears a poisoned mind against all
men.
She said that IL had proposed to
her before she had riet this man
she surely would have accepted me.
and at such time as she will over
come this malicious feeling she will
consider me seriously. Now this
young man calls and every time he
calls he hurts her feelings and she
never tells him Therefore. it ap-
pears to me that she will never
overcome her poisoned thoughts OF
men because his continued hurts
won't let her.
Isn't she doing wrong IN letting
him call? What should do In this
case? Should / discontinue calling!
You see, she has given me encourage
ment to call further.
PERPLExED.

to keep on butting her head against
the stone wall, I'm afraid you can't
stop her. She hasn't much back

persists in seeing the other young

She is just as irresponsible as he IL.

WAXING.
Now apply a thin coat Of shellac

cohol. Allow this to dry thoroughly.
The floor is now ready to be
waxed. All that is necessary 10
apply wax to the floor is several
thicknesses OF cheesecloth. Fold

from the floor. The wax will grad

undesirable and is to be avoided.
ALLOW at least twenty minutes for
drying and then rub to polish.
After two hours apply another 'thln

rub to polish.
A floor finished in this manner
with an occasional polishing and
rewaxing only where there is much
walking will last for years and
always be a source OF satisfaction
to the owner.
The very latest th1ng on the mar
ket is a combination brush which

In the manner OF finishing floors
IL the crack stopper. Many wo-
men heretofore have given up in
Despair when they have tried TO
make presentable a floor filled with
huge cracks. To overcome these
the crack should be cleaned out
thoroughly with a knife and the
crack-stopper applied with a putty
knife. In twenty-four hours the
material will dry hard and tough
as oak. 1t then should be
smoothed with No. 0 steel wool or
sandpaper. The crack stopper
matches light woods perfectly, but
coloring matter must be applied
for dark woods

move the varnish with varnish re-

In other cases there may be fe-

observed in early meningitis.
A third group of these ear cases
gives symptoms strongly resem-
bling those of pneumonia. Thus
there may be high fever. rapid

ear is made in such cases even
experienced physicians may feel
