Advice To The

Barring Her Friends
BY Beatrice Fairfax,

Dear Miss Fairfax:
l have been going out with a won
derful boy for the past three months.
and last week he asked me to give
up my other friends and go out only
with him. Do you think this is play
ing fair when he has not given me a
ring or plainly said he will marry me =?
love him dearly and would sacri-
flee everything were he to treat me
the way I should be treated He
has absolutely no bad habits.
I'm not inclined to recommend cut
ting yourself off from all other men
for the sake of one man to whom
you are not engaged. We all need
our friends. AS for your not being
engaged, do you blame a man for
wanting to know a girl thoroughly
and for desiring to study the ques-
ton carefully before plunging into
matrimony. If there were a little less
speed about leaping into marriage, a
great deal of unhappiness could be
avoided. A life partnership ought to
be based on certainty and security
and knowledge. Don't try to rush
things just because you have a ro-
mantle desire to be engaged or mar
ried.

ARE BOHS HEALTHY?

The definition that is given of a
boil in Sutton's book on Skin IRsor-
ders is as follows:
Boil: CFFurunc1e) An acute deep
seated circumscribed p11egm onous
inflammation, usually resulting in sup
Duration and necrosis. 1t is an in
lection of a skin gland or hair fol-
HcEe. There may be one to several
score.
If you have ever had one, no doubt
your definition would be: Boil (No
relatton) A large chunk of hades.
(You would no doubt say something
stronger, but my editor won't let
me)
In the previous article I reviewed
the lfe-history of Job, the most
famous sufferer from boi1s, and you
know from your own reading and
from the review that I gave you that
boi1s are an infection of Satan who
wanted to devise the most effective
curse God and die.
Now. are boils "healthy?" And
by that my questioner meant this:
There is a popular idea that the
vile stuff which pours forth from
boils is from the system and that the
boils serve to carry this putrid mat
ter away and drain the system and. in
this manner, are beneficial; and,
therefore, one should not try to
heal them up. Is this true?
Is this true? I answer. MOI And
1 answer it ernphat1cally. MOI Al
though I know that that idea is very
prevalent and that it is fostered to
this day by some who profess to be
auth critics on subjects of health.
1t is not true. that boils are bene-
fetal to health. That conception
arose before we had the knowledge of
basteriology (germs). and before the
perfection of the powerful micro
scopes which have taught us so much
relating to life invisible to the naked
eye, and upon which knowledge Of all
laws of sanitation are based.
Now we know that boils and other
suppuratfve processes are caused by
microscopic negotiations known as
germs, or bacteria, or microbes su-
perimposed on tissue which has a
lowered resistance from some cause.
Those who teach that boi1s are the
result of a beneficent effort of the
system to purge itself of impurities,
are either the laymen who have no
scientific training or so-called doctors
who also have no scientific training
And then there are those old chaps
with the right to the title of doctor,
who graduated before the perfection
of the microscope about so years ago
and who have not kept up with the
advance Of science.
At first and for a long time these
unscfentific people denied the exist
ence of germs; there wasn't no such
animal. Now they are not doing that
but they are saying that germs are

the result and not the cause of these
conditions.
(Let me say right here that not
an germs are harmful. In fact. the
vast majority Of these microscope
negotiations are beneficial to mankind.
We could not live with them. But
just as among the negotiations that
you can see with a naked eye there
are those which are harmfuIfor in
stance, garden weeds, poison ivy, poi
son toadstools, and so on-so are
there pernicious ones among the mi
croscopic negotiations. That's reason
able. isn't lt?)
The germs that are the cause of
boils and pimp1es and carbuncles are
known as the Staphl ococcus family.
They are on every skin But they
are usually as harmless as babies for
they have plenty of room and the
sun and air and bathing kill them
off anyway.
But now you give them a nasty
scratch or a deep gland to cuddle
down in and to be hidden from the
light and too much oxygen, and they
will multiply in a short time to bill
lions. They push with their bodies
and poison with their seoretfons.
Now Nature comes to the rescue,
bringing a lot of blood with its fight
ing, disease soldiers the white cells.
The serum from the blood stupef1es
these germs, as it were. and the sol
diers eat 'em alive.
While this fight is going on, a lot OF
the cells are killed and a lot of the
germs are killed. Finally, If Nature
is the stronger she wins the battle
The pus that you see consists of these
dead soldiers of the blood, the white
cells. the dead and dying germs, some
Of the dead tissue cells and the ser
UNI from the blood and tissues.
1t isn't any vile matter that comes
from the system at all, but it is sim
ply the result of a battle right on the
spot of the boil. And the sooner you
get the battle stopped, the better it
is for the system.
If the battle continues too long,
some Of these now thoroughly infuri-
ated germ enemies may get into the
blood stream and commence a coun-
ter-attack elsewhere. Tomorrow

Heart And Home
Problems
BY Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a young
girl of seventeen. I am going to mar
ry a young man five years my senior.
His folks don't s seem to approve of
me.
I love this boy dearly, but some
times he seems to think more of an
other girl. Still he says he does not
love her as much as he does me-
Do you think it would be all right
for me to marry him swnen his folks
do not approve of me? Do you
think he acts right about the other
girl?
BLUE EYES.
You are very young and I would
not advise you to marry the young
man. If he loved you as he should,
he would not be interested in the
other girl.
The attitude Of his parents, my
dear. would probably make you bit
terly unhappy. You are not old
enough to hold your own against
them.
My advice is to wait at least a
year before you think definitely of
marriage. If your finance goes with
other girls, you should certainly have
the privilege of going with other
young men.
the acquaintance of a man who seems
to like me very much. We met at
dance and he took me home from
it. That was a week ago and since
then we have been out together three
times He has asked me to tele-
phone him every day at the place
where he works. 1 do not like to
do this. but he says it is all right.
Would you advise me to phone him
as he requested?
By no means telephone the young
man at his work. His employer does
not pay him to carry on telephone
conversations with a girl Besfd es
you will find that he will like you bet
ter If you refuse to do this and he
has to run after you instead of you
after him. Young men should tele-
phone girls and not expect the girls
to telephone them,
Dear Mrs. Thomps I am engag-
ed to man who I know is not true
to me. I have caught him in several
little lies, but have never been able
to catch him to prove that he is go
ing out with other women. He makes
dates with me and then the last
minute he phones and says he has to
work or makes some other excuse.
At first 1 believed him and was gla d
he showed SO much ambition. Now
L know he is not working and be-
cause he lies to me som etimes I don't
trust him at all.
A while ago we had trouble about
his deceivfng me. I tried to break
our cement, but he felt so sorry
and begged me so hard that T gave
him another chance. Now he is as
bad as ever again. I am sick of his
| excuses and I don't want to marry
such a man
Do you think it would be all right
for me to write him a note and send
back the ring registered, or ought I
face him?
DLSGUSTED.
If you write the note and send back
the ring, you will not have to go
through a lot of unsatisfa Glory argu-
ing. Since you know you cannot
trust the man, the sooner you break
the engagement, the better

EDITORIAL
OF THE DAY
THE GOVERNORS ExAGGERATIoN

Governor Robertson is huromous at
times in his efforts TO brand the news
papers Of the state as u~nprincipled.
For example, tpe Associated Press,
reporting the governors address at
Ardmore Thursday says:
The governor asserted that not
n newspaper in the state had
ever published q story favorable TO
what he termed his constructive
administration"
One of those strange condolences that
at times prove embarrassing to many
officials. was the simultaneous publica-
ton Friday OF the governors attack
and a story released by Fred Parkin.
son, state examiner and inspector, stat
ing that the finances Of the state are
in such good condition that there will
be no need for a general levy for 1928.
The two stories occupied first page
space in several Oklahoma newspapers.
The Parkinson story, again calling
attention to the splendid condition OF
state institutions, vas q constructive
story, rejecting credit on Governor
Robertson and the state administra-
ton. The fact that the state tax levy
in Oklahoma is among the lowest in
the United States has been repeated
often and is a real asset to the admin
istration.
The governors ~extravagant blanket
indictment of Oklahoma newspapers de-
feats his argument because it is ex'
tremely exaggerated.
Obviously, Governor Robertson does
not relish the headlines that have at
tended his indictment. But the indict-
ment Of u states executive is most un
usual. Any newspaper which did not
publish every detail Of such a startling
event would be disloyal TO q public
trust.
If the clean, constructive news about
the Robertson administration, publish.
cd during the last three years by the
press of Oklahoma were measured &C.
curately, 1t would exceed the volume
Of publicity offensive TO the governor.
