Hard-hcaded business men are real

fact, if you think poets are not hard
headed on occasions. just talk to a
publisher who has business relations

Hard-headed thinking and hard

built by men of faith, men with warm
hearts and clear minds, by mon who
value the good opinion Of their Gus

Exerts Great Influence.
At the conclusion Of the war h2'and
Lloyd George were characterized as
the two strongest personalities in
British life
Born in Chapelzod, Ireland, July 10,
1865, Alfred Charles William HARMS
worth, Viscount Northcliffe, started his
career as n subordinate editor in Il
publishing house writing answers to
correspondents. This suggested to him
q newspaper career which he embark

government during the peace confer

Flans we're made carly in 1921 for a
wo:!d tour. The start was delayed
until Julv because of labor trouble, in
volving the publishing industry, ard
renewal of hostilities between Lloyd
George and himself. Lord Northclife
attacked the motives of the premier
and Marquis CurZon in desiring to
represent Great Britain at the Wash
ington arms conference. As result
of this attack, government news was
barred from the Northcliffe press. Lord
Ntrthcliffe sailed for America defying
the boycott.
Endorses Hardng's Plan.
During his world tour Lord North
clffe occupied the public attention OF
each country he visited, displaying
great knowledge of the problems fac
ing various nations. Arriving in New
York, July 23, 1921, he warmly en-
dorsed President Harding's plans for
the armament conference. In Australia
he saw n grave danger in that country
being ovcrrun by Asiatics, and in
several addresses revealed an intimate
knowledge of Australia's national
problems. During his tour of the
Pacific he made n close study Of the
situation in the far east, and in Hong
kong expressed the opinion that the
Anglo Japanese alliance was bar To
it's solution. lie returned TO London
from his tour in May, 1922. IL JdnH
he was reported to have made 4 tour
of Germany incognito.
Shortly after the completion Of his
world tour, differences grew in the
Newspaper Proprictors association

newer members Of tile association. He
later resigned.
IN May, 1922, dissenSion broke out

Approved Americas Policy.

Lord Northcliffe had pointed out
that America was wise in remaining
out of the war until Germany forced
her to act. Because of his acquaintanc"
with American conditions, Lloyd
George prevailed on him to accept the
first public office, contrary to his reso-
luton, and Northcliffe came to the
United States as head of the British
mission which he directed the work of
some 500 officials and 10000 assistants.
For his services to the government
in this and other respects he was made
viscount. Returning to England he
was offered the post of air minister.
This evoked a letter in which Viscount
Northclirfe sharply criticized the
British conduct in the war. In de-
clihing to accept the position, he de-
clared, that while the United States

ELBOW CREAM

1t IS so easy for any woman to have
hlce-Iooklng elbows I cannot find
any excuse for the extraordinary
number of dark and ugly looking ell
BOWS which l meet with every day OF
my life. One does not realize what
an unbeautifu1 thing the human ell
dark and rather naked looking from
a sleeve that is much too short.
Soap and water alone are not
enough to make the elbows good look
ing. They need a lavish amount of
cold cream unless they happen to be-
long to very plump arms which are
clothed most of the time with long
sleeves. Otherwise they will get so
knocked about and rubbed, so grined
full of dust and dirt that only the
lavish application of oil will keep
them nice looking
a cleansing cream should be used
every day if short sleeves are worn,
but it should be used before and not
after the elbows are washed. Tt
should be rubbed in thoroughly to
day and then scrubbed out with hot
water and soap. BY doing it in this
fashion there will not be any grease
in the elbows to collect dirt neither
will they be dry and rough looking.
If the elbows are rough, besides this
treatment you should use vanishing
cream and then a lavish amount of
talcum powder Vanishing cream
will make this rough hard skin soft
and smooth and will give a, good base

Dear Mrs Thompson: I have been
going with a young man for almost
two years and we have been engag-
ed over year. He has a good
position and has saved enough money
SO that we can be married at any
time now and go to housekeeping. We
could not own our own home right
now, but we could buy our furniture
and pay cash for it and have some
money left besides.
He wants me to get married any
time l want to and he urges me to
make it soon. He says he has been
planning for long for the time
when he could provide a home for
me, that now he wants me to cut
my plans for getting married short.
He doesn't care how many clothes I
have or whether the things for my
hope chest are complete.
All this time I have felt I was in
love with my fianCe, but now that the
time for marriage is here, it seems
to me can't go through with it. I
notice so many things about him that
do not like. He isn't careful about
his finger nails and have a feeling
that he isn't clean. He also ignores
manners and am ashamed of him
when he stays for dinner My love
seems all gone and L can only think
of marriage with dread
am afraid that if I break my
enga cement my fiancee will be heart
broken and will never get over his dis
appointment What would you adj
wise me to do? I am sick at heart
because it makes me just as miser-
able to think of breaking my en-
gagement after all this time. as it
does to marry.
ANXIOUS.
To break your engagement is your
only course. You no longer love the
man or you would not feel toward
him as you do. Although you do
break the heart OF your fiance he Will
be happier ultimately than he would
he if YOU married him feeling as you
do. I believe nature will heal his
wound in time and he will find hap
piness with some other woman.

Dear Madam:

Il am coming to you with prob
lem which I am sure you can enlight-
en- me on. 1 do quite bit of walking
during the day and I an told this
will stop me from growing I would
greatly appreciate your opinion on this
matter. 1 ams16 years old and am
feet tall. My weight is 10 pounds
DO you think I am too fat? Please
tell me how to get tall and to develop
a good fgUre.-A. B. c.
Dear Girl. I can't imagine how any
idea that walking will stop. one from
growing could have originated 1t is
absolutely untrue. Young people
should walk lot and play a lot and
run a lot. Not too much, of course
anything can be overdone. That is
the way they get lots of oxygen in their
lungs and the way they get good
healthy appetites for -growth-prOduc-
ing foods.
If you We're undernourshed. it
wouldn't be wise to walk so much But
you are not. You are apparently juat
right. AS to how to get tall and to
develop good figure-by exercise and
correct diet. you can have a good fig
ure if you are a normal individual OF
course, ones height is more or less de-
termined by race and family type
However, there is no doubt that one
can, by the stretching and hanging ex-
ercises carried out perslstently
throughout the growth period, add
one cubit to his stature. even though
that is contrary to what was thought
in Bible times.
