DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Two years ago I fell in love

younger than the writer. After
one year of courtship I pro-
posed. and after a few days her
answer was Yes" Her parents
say I am too old for the girl,
and do everything they can to
insult me every time I call to
see her: they also claim have
not enough money.
What I want to know IL,
should I give her up now or
should I not? EARNEST.
Go ahead and work hard. II
the girl you love has any real
devotion for you, she will not
think Of you In terms Of dollars
and cents, but as the man she
loves and believes in. And II you
make the most Of yourself and
your abilities, you'll find that a
woman who hasn't the right 10y.
atty and devotion means very
little to you. Perhaps you have
antagonized her, people by being

EGGS OF GREAT
FOOD VALUE
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

AYEXT to milk. eggs are prob
~ ably the most valuable sim
gle food. Their richness
In albumin, fat, vitamines, iron,
prosperous and lime. not to speak
OF lecithin, which plays a great
part in the building UP and ac-
tivities Of the nervous system,
makes them most important from
the standpoint OF nutrition and
energy output.
1t is really quite foolish to buy
expensive preparations containing
iron, phosphorus, albumin. lecithin,
etc, when much better results can
be secured with fresh or well pre-
served eggs.
According to Cooley. the yolk
of the egg contains To per cent Of
lecithtn. Eggs. should, therefore,
be utilized in cases OF nervous de-
preston, neurasthenia and other
affections Of the nervous SYSTEM
especially 10 associated with mall
nutricon.
Raw eggs are difficult to digest.
They cause very little secretion or
saliva and are likely to coaSulate
in the stomach. Soft-boiled eggs
are the most digestible. Hard.
boiled eggs are not so indigesti-
BILE as popularity supposed, but 1t
is essential that they be well mas
ticated.
Rubner says that hard.boifed
eggs are as well assimilated as
meat. They have an advantage
over meat as a source Of protein
in the food in that they contain
no injurious extractives.
For anemia, tuberculosis and af.
ter exhausting diseases. eggs are
excellent. In the diet Of children
they aid in the prevention Of tn.
