Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl of
twenty-five. A couple of years ago
was engaged to fellow whom l lived
very dearly. We quarreled all the
time over the least little thing and so
| decided to break the engagement,
which l did. About year ago 1 be-
came engaged to another fellow who
treats me wonderfully, but every time
! see the first fellow l feel so badly
because | can't seem to forget him.
| feel as though | am not right in
keeping the second fellow waiting, but
can't plan to get married. | like and
admire him very much and every one
speaks well of him.
Don't you think that if did marry
him | would learn to love him because
he is so good to me? Please advise.
WORRIED.
Do not marry in hope that love will
come after marriage. 1t might, but
the chances are against it. | would
advise you to tell your fiance the
truth 1t would not be fair TO your
self or to him to marry without great
love
do not think that you have found
real love yet. You were deeply inter
ested in the first young man, but you
would not have been happy with him.
Love makes people gentle and consid-
crate of each other. Quarrels where
there is mutual love are not frequent

him spend a few years feeling sorry
because of you Yes. l hope he is in
love with you-it would do him good"
But he's married."
Il know, but Myra doesn't particu-
larry deserve him-or anyone nice"
But, it makes it worse. He'll come
around again. l can't help it. He

up your business and go home again?

sance"
Il can't go back yet. Not for week
or two" Ruth answered. You should
see the list of things I've yet to dc
and the people l have to see. The
committee sends me new work every
day. They're even thinking of put
ting me in charge of a temporary New
York office!"
well, then, you'll just have to fight
it out" Gaby answered. "Ill back
you, and you're a plucky fighter"
But Ruth doubted her strength
when her heart was involved.

measures reach the senate was in
spired, and it is taken for granted that
the senate will adopt the program
suggested by the Indiana senator.
It now seems possible that the new
revenue and tariff laws will be on the
statute books not later that Nov. l,
possibly by Oct. Is.
So far the most important accom-
plishment of the new congress has
been the new budget law, which be-
comes operative July l.
Charles G Dawes, first director o.
the budget, has had some criticism TO
make of congress on account of the
budget law, asserting that the per-
sonnet of the budget commission is too
limited. but congress has heard the
criticism calmly, it being accustomed

riously by official Washington. He
is recognized as an experienced finan-
cier and he is expected to make good
in the important post he holds. His

is expected to result in a great saving
to the federal treasury.
The budget is an adaptation OF
President Harding's policy of less
government in business and more bus
mess in government. BY the provi-
sions of the new law there is not the
slightest infringement of any preroga-
tives in connection with the appro-
house retains the sole right to origin
ate fiscal legislation, the senate holds
its power to amend. and the executive
wields the power of approval or veto.
The real function of the budget is to
collate information for the guidance
of congress and the president; to per
form, in short, the same duties for
the government that the auditor or
comptroller of corporation performs
in behalf of his company.
Must "Cut to Cloth"
From the facts which the director
of the budget assemblies congress will
be expected to 'cut the lament &C
cording to the cloth" With an &C
curate estimate of revenues before it,
after deducting the fixed charges, con
gress will have to keep current expen-
ditures within the limits of the bal
ance. This will put an end TO the
slipshod system which has prevailed
in the past, under which each depart
ment of the government has made its
estimates independent of the others,
and transmitted them to congress
through the secretary of the treasury
"a system which gave no idea of the
aggregate appropriations or their re-
lation to income until congress had
taken final action on the last appropri-
ton bill.
Gen. Dawes and his assistants, it is
expected, will find it quite difficult to
submit definite and accurate estimates
of income when congress assemblies IL
regular session next December Until
the new tariff law is enacted no one
can estimate what revenue may be
expected from it. Likewise the taz
revision bill will doubtless make radi
cal changes in existing tax levies
which will render next 10 impossible

A DOMESTIC BEAUTY EXERCISE.

- ~ DGNS ENEhSI0Cs
Housework can be made a beauty
exercise, though I am sure very few
people think so, and still fewer try
to prove 1t.
Housework, of course, that is done
in rooms with closed windows and
bad air, work that is done hurriedly
and nervously, with frowning face and
contracted chest, could be nothing ex-
cept harmful But housework done as
an exercise can be beneficial
First Of ALL you must arrange your
work so that you do not bend over
at it. Tables and sinks are invariably
made too low. You contract the chest
so you do not breathe properly, and
you get into a round shouldered po-
sition which gives the body the lines
of old age by working in this incon-
venient fashion. Put your table on a
platform so you need not stoop, and
if you can not have the kitchen sink
raised, set the dish pan on a wooden
box SO it comes to the proper height.
When you use a broom, keep your

motions of the arms. Sweeping is as
easy this way as hunched up over the
broom handle. Do not be afraid of
bending and stopping motions when
you dust or make beds. These keep
the back supple and reduce flesh
around the waist.
An important thing to remember is
TO work outdoors as much as possible
and when working indoors to have
the rooms we'll ventilated. One grows
tired and nervous and old on bad air.
which devitaliZes the blood. When
you are working stop occasionally to
straighten up and draw in four or
six deep breaths of air. and if your
work is heavy stop occasionally for
two minutes complete relaxation.
E. You should consult your ocu-
list about your case. There are ex-
ercises which have been known to
cure many cases of defective sight
These should be arranged according to
your particular requirements and your
doctor will do this for you. A good
general exercise for Strengthening

raise the eyes as far as possible and
slowly roll the eyeball to the right,

Chapter 1903

All through the dark hours Ruth
went over and over the problem. As
Gaby had said, the fact that one was
married might not prevent another
from being in love. Tim was married,
and fight as she would, she knew that
all this time she had still cared for
him.
But all along she was sure he cared
for Myra and not for her. At least
she had the satisfaction of knowing
Tim was happy-even though she ma
turally felt he would have been hap
pier with her.
And now 1t seemed to her that Tim
was in love with her-either he had
never gotten over the old affection, or
else II had come to life again when he
saw her.
And what should she do now? For
this was infinitely worse than before.
Yet she gloried a little in the fact that
he did love her. 1t troubled her con-
science, but 1t could not help but
soothe a certain feminine feeling that
Ruth had deep inside her. 1t was not
vanity-she was incapable of being
vain; it was merely that an affection
returned in kind is always a happi-
ness.
But It brought up so many prob
lens. Finally she went to sleep, de-
Gliding to phone the always sympa-
thetic Gaby and talk it all over with
her.
Gaby's first remark, after Ruth had
given her the whole story next day,
was:
We'll, I thought that might hap
pen!"
you did" Ruth exclaimed in the
greatest astonishment. Why"
Because you had that effect on
him the other time you were here,
when he was engaged TO Myra."
How did you know he kissed me
them" Ruth looked very much puz-
zled, for that impulsive goodbye in
the doorway of the cheap little board
ing house had been locked up in her
breast ever since.
Gaby laughed, leaning back on the
couch. and looking at Ruth with kind
ly amusement.
What a dear innocent baby you
are, in spite of your large salary and
your model factory town." she said.
Il didn't know about that. Ruthie-
you never told. But did know that
over again. And he was only engaged
to Myra then.
Nov, when he's married, the
struggle 10 be faithful, even in his
thoughts. would be much stronger be-
cause Tim is really the best man in
the world in his intentions, and would
have no idea of harming Myra. But
you are so much prettier than you
were-you have everything in your
favor now.
Don't you see7" she went on,
when you came here before. you
were tired, unhappy, over-worked,
worried, and poor and shabby. That's
a combination to make anyone unin-
teresting-to a man of Tins type.
Now you come back-you've got a
whole suite of rooms in one of the
finest hotels, you wear lovely clothes
and fix your hair so as to look your
best, you have a noise you lacked be-
fore, you have money, success, the
papers talk about you, the Coopers

TWIN BEDS PLEASES
A LARGE AUDIENCE
Public Finds Play A. Jovial,
Rollicking Farce, Incal-
culably Amusing

Twin Beds" was presented Friday
evening at the High school auditorium
to an audience that very nearly filled
the house. Except for the rather un.
fortunate circumstance that some had
industriously circulated the report and
gave support the impression that the
play is quite improper it is quite prob
able that every seat in the house
would have been sold and the s. r. O.
sign hung out.
The amusement loving public of Mt.
Vernon now knows that Irwin Beds"
is nothing more than jovial, rollick-
ing farce, clean as high wind. The
play in it's action has something more
than incalculably amusing situations.
In addition to the novelty of its situ-
ations, the rapidity of their develope-
ment and their uncommon natural
ness, the play has still another value,
one almost never found in farce, that
of really fine characterization, witty
lines and delicate feeling, which pops
out when least expected, and height
ems the effect of the comedy.
The play is presented by an ideal
cast of comedians, the principals
among whom are Joseph Sterling as
Harry Hawkins" and Elaine Ivans
as Blanche Hawkins"
Considering the manifest difficulties
in connection with putting on the
atrical production in place not pri-
marily adapted for such the presenta-
tion of Twin Beds" was excellently
well given. At times the audience
was permitted certain intimacies not
commonly witnessed in a theatre
where all in connection with the pro.
duction is contained back of the cur.
tain. Lack of space made such impos-
sible here and between acts 1t became
necessary to carry out props" and
other things incidental to the play,
while conversation in the wings was
plainly audible. However all that may
be there can be no doubt that those
who saw Twin Beds" Friday evening
greatly enjoyed 1t every minute.
