ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax

years my senior AS his chum
seems very attentive to me, he
has asked me if I care more for
his chum than 1 do for him

Deve, ! love him more. than the
other man. but, as he has
jealous disposition; he refuses to
take my word.
Lately he has explained to me
that he cannot marry for few
years, as he has a mother to sup
port. He has a fine position.
He wanted to. know II he should
come to my home as often as he
had been coming. told him I
wanted him to come just as often
as he has been coming.
Do you think he has any inten.
ton Of marrying me?
=: NATALIE.
THE young man has told you
plainly that ne is not In a
position to marry. What MS
feelings will be in years to come
no outsider can venture to pre-
dict. Since he is jealous and sus-
picious' you cannot expect much
peace of mind or happiness from
nm in any event. Why should
you give up all your other friends
for a man who offers you moth
ing and demands so much to
which he has no right?

CHAPTER II.

Kestner, no longer wearing his
pink cocks comb and his arm
sling, stared over the ships rail
!, as his liner, having slipped
through Quarantine a few min
utes before sunset; crept from the
Upper Bay into the narrower
reaches of the North River. He
stared disconsoIately at the city
of his birth, depressed by that
thin misery which so often re-
turns to the traveller who remem.

Wilsnach, close beside him at the

precipitous skyline of the city

evening light, the incompatible
outline Of mans effort and aspira:
ton. Yet he looked at it only as

Somewhere in that undecipher-

lurked the fugitives whom it was

and Lambert's daughter. And
the whole aim and object of Kest-

ing city from their attacks.
And we've lost week. per-

Wilsnach, whose thoughts had OBJ

Kestner's.

and smiled.

corrected. "And the subtler salts

With regard to the typhoid fever,
DR.. Kober said that out of 4.000,0 900
men in the American Army during
the war, statistics show that 215 died
of that malady, while in the Spanish
American war 1880 men out of 107,-
900 in the Army were destroyed by
that disease. Comparing the two
periods, DIR. Kober said over $1,000
lives were saved by means of typhoid
vaccination.
Quoting figures on the death rate
in the District of Columbia. DIR. Ko-
Der stated that in tuberculosis alone
deaths have been reduced from 329
per 100000 In 1876 to 108 per 100000
in 1922. This meant he added. that
medical discoveries saved 1.247 lives

infants under one year of age was
also reduced from 322 for every 1000
born in 1873 to 84.5 for every 1000
born in 1922.
Cancer and insanity, however. have
been on the increase during the past
forty years, DIR. Kober said. The
former. he explained, is believed to
be caused by improper food, which
brings on chronic poisoning of the
blood. while the latter is caused by
alcohol, drugs and social diseases.

MIRACLES Of JESUS
DOUBTED BY PASTOR
Might Have Been Autosuggestion,
Says Rev. Percy Stickney
Grant.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, January 15.-Unortho-
doX views regarding miracles, conse-
Grafton of churches and other mat
ters, as expressed in a sermon by
the Rev. Percy Stickney Grant, at
tracted considerable attention today.
Preaching yesterday in the Church
of the Ascension protestant Epis-
copal), on 9TH avenue, of which he is
rector, the Rev. Mr.. Grant said:
VERY few clergymen today who
have been educated in the large uni
yersities accept the idea that Jesus
had the power of God. He doubtless
did miracles as they were regarded
in his day, but. as NJ. Coue points
out, many of these were acts OF
autosuggestion and would fall under
we'll known categories clearly and
well classified by psychologists today.
Science understands them. They are
not miracles"
Conservation of churches is an idea
inherited from the ages of witchcraft
and magic, DIR. Grant declared.
The apostolic succession is no
longer accepted by the educated
classes, he said. and it is through
that so-called succession, he said
that priests are supposed to be gift
ed with miraculous powers.
