RED NOSE

An unusual number of complaints
about red noses have come to me late
ly. This is due mostly, I think, to
the season and the weather.
If there is any tendency towards a
red nose, it will be much more notice
able in the winter than in the sum-
mer, because of the cold weather,
which effects anyone with a poor cir
culation. One cause Of red nose is
poor circulation. One cause of a red
nose is poor circulation of the blood.
Another reason why red noses are
common at this time Of the year is
because we have all been eating rather
rich. starchy foods and our blood has
become rather thick. When we get
we'll into the spring and begin living
on the fresh green foods again, the
blood will thin and fewer people will
be troubled with red noses.
Many write and ask me whether
there is not some lotion that can be
used to stop this. l have no parti-
cular faith in the few lotions for this
purpose, because the only way to over
come redness of the nose is to find out
it's cause and then cure that. I'm
proved health, improved digestion,
good circulation will all be necessary,

The tale of woe had reached the
ridiculous stage, and Ruth laughed in
spite of herself. Mrs. Markham joined
in the laugh, and eventually gave the
girl an insight into the management
of small town boarding house that
made Ruth feel she had acquired lots
of knowledge.
"You have a grand place for board
ing house." she said finally, with all
those rooms and that big table your
mother has in the dining room. But
land. Ruth. if you can do that, why
didn't your family do it long ago-if
you don't mind my asking?"
"Oh, it was different then. Father
can't have strangers about him, but
don't mind And anyway the house
is too big for me, and I'd like the ex-
perience" Part of this was true and
part false, and Ruth escaped as soon
as she could, feeling she knew more
about the boarding house business,
but that it was much more difficult
than studying irregular French verbs.
Her next step was the largest real
estate office in town.
"If you have any people who want
furnished rooms, please send them to
me" she said. and told about the con-
Meeting rooms on either the ground or
the second floor and the large kitchen

Ruth smiled up at him and left.
Her next errand was to the employ
mcnt managers of the two factories in
the town. Again she explained her
house and its advantages.
"I'll make most any arrangements
she said. Il thought that some of the
people might want temporary quar-

courage to talk this way, and Ruth
never knew how attractive she herself

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am a girl
19 years of age. l am in love with
two young men and must decide which
one I love better. I am engaged to
one of them, with whim I have been
going for two years. 1 went with the
other one three years ago and then
he moved away and could not come
to see me regular, so we quit and
started going with the one that l am
going with now. The past three years
have been corresponding with the
one that moved away, unbeknown to
this one.
The one, hearing that l am engaged,
thinks it cannot be. He writes me
and asks me to speak plainly and
truthfully and tell him which one of
them ] love better. after serious and
deep thinking down in my heart. But
after that I cannot decide. Maybe if
would go with the one that moved
away a few times again, could decide.

1t seemed to Ruth, when she looked
back on that part of her life years
later, that sudden break happened
then. 1t was as though she had shut
one door tightly upon all the past, and
opened another one, fearfully, into the
future.
She had, indeed, thought it was like
that when she graduated. This idea
was helped on by the commencement
day oratory, which runs to such meta
phors. But the commencement day
was not break with her old, rather
happy school life. She had expected

she realized the quite impoverished
condition of the family.

dark eyes that squinted up with

Ruth wondered how she would get
along without him. A little of her
splendid courage left her at the idea

one special to talk to. the dragging
days

herself. And the sound of her voice

surprise for she was not intimate with
the O'Niels.
Il want you to tell me how to run a

Ruth said. and sat down feeling that
all her strength had gone into this
impertinent remark.
But Mrs. Markham only laughed.

loved him, you would not have en-
