ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax
DEAR MISS FAIRFA%

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 have been engaged to a girl for
three years and have always found
her to be ideal. We got along beau
tifully until a couple of days ago,
when she confessed that for the past
two months she has had a growing
affection for q man in her office.
She SAYS she does not love him, as
he is not the type of a man she
would choose for husband.
She is unhappy because she is
not giving me a square chance and
tells me to wait. We have planned
TO make a stern fight to bring her
to her senses, as she is positive he
does not care a snap about her.
She tells me at times she hates
him and other times she feels happy
in his presence. J. p.
The girl has been perfectly hon.
est with you. The mere fact that
she can SO coldly analyZe her feel
ings for the other man and can dis
cuss them with you shows they
haven't a deep hold in her magma
ton. Try to find which of two
courses works with her. She may
be unconsciously Trying to rouse
your jealousy and to speed the day
of your marriage. Perhaps the first
glow of your romance is gone and
this is her way of receiving it. Try
a little wild possessiveness! II that
is wrong, do the sensible thing and
help her get this infatuation out Of
her system by discussion and calm
planning with you.

"Oh, Strelsa, you talk like pan
of fudge! I tell you that Langly
Sprowl is no good Mt all. I hope
you won't have to marry him to find

And IL he is what you say, it's hope
less of course. don't
think he is. Be decent, Molly; every
body is very horrid about him, and
and that is always a matter of sym
pathetic interest to a generous
woman. When the whole world
condemns a man it makes him in
teresting.
Both Important.
That's a piffling and emotional
thing to say. He may be attrac-
tive in an uncanny way, because
he's agreeable to look at, amusing,
and very dangerous-a perfectly
cold blooded, and. 1 think, slightly
unbalanced social marauder. And
that's the fact about Langly Sprowl.
And L wish we were on land, the
YUAN and her owner in-well, in
the Erie Basin, perhaps"
Whether or not Strelsa believed
these things. there still remained
in her that curious sense of fasci-
nation in Sprowl's presence. partly
arising, no doubt, from an instinc-
tive sympathy for a young man so
universally damned; partly, because
she thought. that perhaps he really
was damned. Therefore. deep in her
heart she felt that he must be dan
gerous; and there is, in that one be-
lief, every element of unwholesome
fascination. And a mind fatigued
is no longer wholesome.
Then, too, there was always Sir
Charles Madison to turn to for a
refreshing moral bath. Safety of
soul lay in his vicinity; she felt
confidence in the world wherever
he traversed 1t. With him she re-
laxel and rested; there was repose
for her in his silences; strength

N which their decay is to be
prevented.
Anything which lowers vital re-
sistance tends to favor deteriora-
ton OF the teeth.
Perhaps too much attention has
been concentrated upon mouth
conditions, to the exclusion, more
or less, of constitutional factors.
Cleanliness Is absolutely essential,
but there are other considerations
just as important.
1t is TO be remembered that germ
infection is governed largely by
the failure of the body cells to pro-
duce substances which antagonize
bacteria. This failure depends in
part upon faulty diet. 1t is true
that the acids produced by the fer
mentation of starches and sugars
cause decay, but even this factor is
kept in allegiance if the diet In
general is what IL should be.
Experiments have shown that II
is deficiency in vitamines which
is one OF the most important fac
tors leading to a lowering of vital
resistance. Guinea pigs fed upon
a diet lacking in vitamines have
manifested loosening of the teeth.
bleeding of the gums, pyorrhea and
a loss of lime In the bones of the
jaw.
Foods such as good, clean, I'M
heated milk, butter, fruits and
salads go far toward insuring a
sufficient supply of vitamines.
Yeast is also a source OF vitamines.
In addition to the question of
dot there is the matter of keeping
uN- che general health by an OBJ
servance Of all the laws of hy-
giene. To this end one must get a
sufficient share of sunlight and
fresh air. There is no doubt that
sunlight is an important source of
our energy.

scarcely choose but believe him.
After that he made ardent, head
long love to her at every oppor-

which began by amusing her. At

laughter a good defense; but there
was an undercurrent Of intelligent,

talk with Molly Wycherly sobered
her still more; and she avoided him
as politely as she could. But, be-
ing her host. it was impossible to
keep clear Of him. Besides there
was about him a certain unwhole-
some fascination even for her. No
matter how bad a mans record may
be, few women doubt their ability to
make 1t a better one.

Household Suggestions

To freshen stale vegetables soak
them for an hour in cold water TO
which the juice of a lemon has
been added.
Flour that has been allowed to
get damp invariably makes heavy
cakes and buildings. 1t should al
ways be kept in the driest pos
sible place, and for making cakes
should be slightly warmed before
using.
Make two jellies, one red, one
yellow, chop and mix them. Whip
a gill of cream very stiff. Put on
the jelly in uneven shapes and stick
an almond or two in each shape.
To prevent salt from becoming
damp and lumpy, when filling the
bottles add several grains Of rice:
these will absorb tho moisture, and
the salt will keep dry and fine.

NOW IN FRENCH CONTROL.
Alsace Potash Mines No Longer Held by
Germany.

NEW YORK, March S.-The potash
mines af Alsace, which before the war
were operated by the Germans but now
are under French control, have been re-
stored to working order and France has
again become rival of Germany in the
worlds markets as a producer of tins fer
tilizing agent, say French agents here;
Prior to the war, the Germans controlled
virtually the only source of the world s
supply of potash and while the 81 at con-
f1ict was in progress farmers ever where
suffered from lack of it.
With the restoration of Alsaee TO
France, French engineers began the work
of restoring the mines to activity and
after two years of effort, now announce
that new machinery has been Installed,
the extraction shafts repaired and refining
plants put in working order.
The Alsace potash beds are believed TO
he the richest in the world, containing
more than 100000 tons of pure potash
and, according to estimates are capable of
supplying the entire world for more. than
three centuries. The mines occupy field
living near Mulhouse. In the mine corri-
doris the crystalline salts are seen lying

and grey. SO alternating as to give the
