w brilliant success whilst an
other never rises above
mediocrity?
Success is never a matter of luck.
Chance may help. but no man has
ever achieved real and lasting sue
cess without deserving 1t.
Making good" does not depend
wholly upon opportunities to make
good" Nor is 1t entirely a matter
of brains
Intelligence, of course, is a neces-
sity. A fool can never hope to sue
ceed.
Conscientiousness is necessary.
But 1t is not the magic key.
Determination is another essen
tial. Nothing can be achieved with
out the "will to succeed"
Self-confidence is another quality
which helps man upward. The
man who does not believe in
himself cannot expect others to be-
lieve in him..
Then there is pushfulness. Sue
cess seldom comes the way OF the
man who hides his light under a
bushel. But pushfulnuess alone
cannot force man to the top.
Without the other requisite quail
NitS 'htp
bluster.
Energy Is required. A lazy man
never makes good. Courage Is an
other necessity. Success never
comes without struggle.
Concentration is essential. No
body can expect to succeed when he
fritters away his energies and in

shows"
knowledge In another quality
without which success Is impos-
sible. The man who does not know
his Job will never arise.

ness, energy, courage, concentra-

ties are necessary. for. success. But
they are not sufficient.
You must have your heart in your
work.

BE INDEPENDENT.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

have just a few words of advice
for "Rebellious." Are you sure you
don't love this man? II so. leave
him. You can make your way in
the world. both Tor yourself and
boy. But be sure you don't love
him and will never want to go back
TO him.
left my first husband over just
such a thing and obtained a di-
vorce. / never intended to remarry.
/ thought men were all alike, but
they are not. Some years later l
remarked and / have a very good
husband. But well he knows that
to be good is the only way he can
be my husband. Be independent.
Don't let them run over you. 1t
doesn't pay. The more you give in.
the worse they are. Get a position,
put your baby in the hands of some
woman you can trust and just say 1
will. II more women would do this
there would be less worthless men
in the world.

Milk as
Food
y KIM MILK is a very economical

~ KIM MILK is a very economical
y food material, In the opinion Of
specialists in the United States
Department of Agriculture, and
could be more generally used as
human food.
Whole milk. as everyone knows,
is an indispensable food for the
young, and even in the diet Of the
adult ii Is desirable. For cooking
purposes skim milk Is very satis-
factory, although IL lacks the val
nable food constituent, butter fat.
There Is left, however, in the skim
milk, not only all of the sugar,
which amounts to about Az parts in
every 100. and most of the mineral
substances, but also most OF thes
proteins. The last-named class of
substances are important, because
besides supplying muscle and It's
sue-building material, they also
serve as fuel for the body, as fats,
sugars. and starches do.
RICH IN PROTEIN.
Since the nutritive part Of skim
milk consists very largely of pro-
tein, II Is to be classed with such
food materials as eggs, meat, fish,
poultry, and cheese Though it Is
more delicaate than those foods),
rather than with such substances as
sugar. which serve only as fuel
Two and half quarts Of skim milk
contain almost as much protein and
yield about the same amount of en-
ergy as a pound vi round Of beef.
When used for cooking the. diff
ference in taste between skinned
and unskimmed milk is not SO per-
ceptible, and there are many uses
to which skim milk can be put in
the preparation of foods. In the
making of cereal mushes, the use
of skim milk in place of water adds
greatly to the nutritive value, par
ticularly by raising the amount of
tissue-forming materials. In maxi
in milk soups. chowders, custards,
and cakes also, it can be profitably
used.

IMPORTATION. PLEASE.

Who hasn't heard someone ex-
claim, "Oh, hate to look up tele-
phone numbers. I'm going to call
Information" and we wonder why
Information is sometimes so jumpy
and unsympathetic when we plain
lively remark, "Oh. operator, just
can't find the number in the book.
Won't you. please, look 1t up for
me?"
Sometimes numbers can't he
found. Sometimes we have wrong
initials or spell the name incor-
rectly, but nine times out of ten
the number is there, and we could
find 1t IL we were to use our own
gray matter instead of someone
else's.
THE WHITE-HAIRED WOMAN.
The white-haired woman is in her
element in Boston. Where else
could you find her in front-row
seats at opera, concert, lecture and
theater? She may wear a cap or
carry a cane. but she still seeks her
recreation in places of public
amusement.
In Boston no woman Is ever too
old to do what she wants to do.
Stand In the rear Of lecture hall or
. concert room and count the white
haired women. They far outnum-
ber those of fewer years.
They sit calm and unmoved
through the funniest farces, or dry
eyed through tragedies. Music
leaves them unmoved, and so does
eloquence of Harvard professor or
noted divine.
In Boston. everyone is supposed
to go to lectures and plays and con-
certs. That is enough. They fol-
low in the footsteps of their fore
fathers, and Symphony tickets and
Lowell Institute lectures are just as
inevitable as turkey for Thanks
giving.

WAIT AWHILE.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


1 am twenty years old and am
contemplating second marriage.
In June, 1919. I eloped with a girl
a year younger than myself. We
lived happily together for nearly
ak months, and then one day we
had a terrible "scrawl" lover prac-
tically nothing). which ended in her
-going home to mother" Her peo-
pie advised her she had made a
mistake and the marriage should
be annulled at once. But did she
make a mistake? Anyhow. the mar
rage was annulled. At hrst / was.
embittered by the fact my wife had
left me for her selfish mother--and
whyy 1 tried In vain to obtain a.
reconciliation. but she refused to
be sought or annoyed. Haven't 1
been a fool to run after her, and
shouldn't i have realized long ago
that she never really loved me?
Last September met very.
sweet girl. whose most wonderful
disposition assured me that had q
real pal. This girl has shown more
interest In me In few months than
my former wife did in three years
courtsfiip. Would you advise me to
propose-or wait and continue as
mere pals? LONE EAGLE"
Wait for at least another six
months.

DON'T WORRY.
MISH EAIREAX


will soon be nineteen and have
been going with young man
for fifteen months. In October
we had a disagreement over an
other girl and stopped going to-
gether. Later he became engaged
TO the third party. Now 1t seems
that he is tired of the other girl
and wants to go with me again.
Miss Fairfax. do you think this
man loves me as he says, or that
the third party has given him UP
and he wants to show her that he
can go with me. DOUBTFUL.
why worry about whether he
loves you? II you enjoy his COM
pany. keep him as a friend, and
when you are older II will be time
enough to find out whether he
loves you. Young people of your
age are apt to think they love
the first man that comes their way.

THE sTRAP-HANGER's PLANT.

THE STRAP-HANGER'S PLANT.
The Woman's Married Friend Is
always seeing things.
II saw something for your column
this morning." she announced as
she and The Woman settled them
selves for q cup of tea and a chat.
''On the car I was coming in on
this morning was a man with a lit
tie boy Of about three" she began.
The baby flew into a rage because
he couldn't stand up and hold on to
the strap. His father coaxed and
pleaded and finally in despair he
said, You sit down when you can.
If you live to grow up you'll spend
the rest Of your life hanging on to
a strap, so don't begin now But
the baby wasn't ready to accept
this philosophy, although the carful
of people received the remark win
evident enjoyment"

WANTS ADVICE ON WIFE.


am a young man, twenty-four
years old and married ive years.
The first years we got along fine,
nothing could be better. We have
two lovely children. Then time
passed and my wife got lazy. She
did not do any more busting or
cooking. The place looked like a
junk shop.
So kept on telling her she better
wake up, but 1t did no good. Then
told her / was going to leave her.
I put on my hat and coat to go and
when l went she opened the window
and threw my clothes on the street.
Then she had me taken to court and
she wanted a separation, which L
gave her.
So then I had to foot all her court
bills. 1t is two years now that i am
away from her and now she is beg
ging me to take her back. She tells
me now that she was the only one
to blame, and says she will only do
what's right IL I will take her back
again. So now 1 would like to hear
from some kind readers what to do
about IL, as I am boarding now and
am getting along fine. JOHN.
BLONDES HAVE CLEAN RECORD.
Am married several years to a
beautiful blonde girl whose golden
curls and curious blue eyes are the
envy of all who behold her. When
we were first acquainted I was but
a student with good prospects and
little or no money.
She has helped and encouraged
me in every way possible and been
the Inspiration of my best efforts
In everything I undertook. She Is
sensible, economical, a good house.
keeper and a loving helpmate, and
1t is largely through her encourage
ment and helpfulness that today I
own my own home, fairly good bus
mess instead OF working for wages
to pay out to the rent profiteers.
Have made habit OF collecting
interesting clippings and i have
found no record of blonde woman
numbering her husband. That dis
tinction as well as others belong to
the brunette type" Look II yp
and see, as / don't like to mention
any names. ACHILLES.
