but the point is that this should be
done, because when a car has been
stolen the police demand something
more than saying on the part of the
owner before they return it to him. Be
sure that there are more ways than
one by means of which you can prove
that your car really is yours.

In case he has another girl, what
would you do? Do you think he is
sorry? He is going away to college
next winter. Do you think I ought
to have other boy friends?
WORRIED BLONDE.
If the young man continues to de-
ceive you. by all means drop him and
face your disappointment bravely. It
will be far better to lose him now
than to find him later that he is
faithless. A man who will deceive
his sweetheart will most certainly de-
ceive his wife. From your letter
should judge that he loves you more
than any one else and does not want
to give you up, but he enjoys the di-
version of going with different girls.
He is sincerely sorry that you found
but about his going with the other
girl, and I presume that he is sorry
for hurting you.
Have a mutual agreement about
going with others while he is away
at school. If he goes with other
girls you should most certainly go
with other young men. Love which
cannot stand such a test is not very
deep. Since you are both so young
I would advise each to go with
others when separated. If your
love breaks down it is not deep
enough to stand the test of mar
rfage.
Get over the habit of staying at
home so much. When he wants ,
you to go places, go because it will
please him.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I wrote
some letters to a boy and I feel sure :
he saved them. Now l have asked

force him TO return them?

THE MIRACLE WORKER


All England at the present mo-
ment is talking about a marvellous
doctor named Coue who has made
the blind see and the deaf here and
the para1ysed walk, all by means of
auto-suggest-on- Sensational people
call him the Miracle Worker and the
Miracle Man, the Great Healer and
other romantic terms. He himself
IS a very modest Frenchman who has
lived at Nancy for many years in
charge of a clinic at which ne daily
performs just such miracles as these.
He takes no money~for his work, and
people come 20 him from all over the
world
At the present moment he is in
England, at least he was recently
there, and England said that his mir
acles were more marvellous than
those of the Virgin at Lourdes. But
France smiled and wondered why
there should be all this excitement
so suddenly about a quiet little man
who has been doing all these mar
Vellous things for years but with lit
tie attention paid,
Emile Coue himself smiles and says
there is no miracle. Where there is
organic disturbance the trouble must
be treated by competent physicians
He himself incidentally is a physician
and one of the leading chemists of
Europe. But where there is mental
or nervous trouble he treats and very
frequently cures by the power of
auto-suggesti In other words he
makes the patient cure himself. But
his work is so important that 1 must
write of it again in greater detail for

possible for anyone to do wonders for

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am wor-
ried all the time and would like to
have you encourage me. I was only
fifteen years of age when I started
going with a boy sixteen years of
age and we are still going together
and he will be nineteen this month.
I will be eighteen in July.
He says he loves me and we have
been engaged almost two years. The
only time 1 told him I loved him was
in a letter, but he keeps asking me
about every time he comes to see me.
1 give him half of an answer.
Every time there is a good looking
girl comes TO town she seems to be
greatly interested in him. He almost
tries to be with her withou my find
ing out, but the last time I found it
out. Two weeks ago he was with a
girl just five doors from me. The
next day he wrote me a letter saying
he had to go away the night before
and that was the reason he couldn't
come over. I wrote him a letter and
tol4 him I was breaking our engage
ment and I didn't care whether he
ever came over again or not. 1 got
another letter from him saying he
was sorry and could see his mistake
and he wanted to come back and try
all over again. let him come and
we are getting along fine.
My mother died three years ago
and I have been keeping house ever
since until a few weeks ago my father
got married. I have had a lot of
trouble at home and have stood for
everything.
1t will be two years before my
friend and 1 will marry. His people
like me very much. I am backward
about going to his home and I am
not much in favor of going out to
parties and shows. I like to stay at
home and then I am not much of a
talker. Do you think this has any
thing to do with his going with other
girls? He comes to see me three
nights out Of the week.

Rule For Finding Ideal Net
Admit Weight

Multiply the number of inches over
five feet in height in stocking feet
by five and one-half, add 10. If you
are under five feet in height subtract
from ITO. In other words, if you are
five feet tall you are allowed 10 lbs.
For every inch over or under you
are allowed five and one-half lbs,
more or less respectively.
OF course this is a general rule and
probably some will vary five per cent
above or below and still be ideal
weight. This rule. however, gives us
a standard to go by.
The modern health ideas don't per-
nit a gain in weight after full matur-
ity, sly 80 years, so we are not al
lowing age to accumulate weight and
considering it normal now.
The reason We have done this be-
fore is because the only available
statistics that we have to go by are
the insurance statistics However
these states show that the older in
dividuals who are underweight for
the average for their years are health
Ter, so we are beginning to realize
that this so-called underweight is
really the normal weight.

So small, so slight "a thing!

Into the dark to grieve
Into some covert blind
And still, it's pain to bear,
Where it may healing find.
Or die in silence there.

Light as a feathers fall;
And yet it snapped the cord
And hushed the wildwood call.
And now the irised wing
Is furled, the voice is hushed-

And yet a life was crushed.
