soap to wash my dog, Hector. We have been very careful of Hector, but in some manner or other he has ac- quired flea or so and they make shim unhappy!'
 "Be very careful about Gettem's soap;" advised the man who always had personal experiences upon which to draw to enliven the conversation. "Gettam may be a very fine scientist and his soap may be the wonder of the age, but it's use may eternally alienate from your Hector!s affections.
 q am thinking of our little dog Rosita, who has been cared for like a royal princess and yet who suffered the same affliction as your Hector. The Dillbecks told us to use, by all means, Purple Powder, which was warranted to slay anything that flew or crept. The Dillbecks said they had used Purple Powder for years on the rosebushes and sunflowers in their gardens and that whenever an invader that flew or hopped approached a rosebud or a sun flower blossom it halted as though stunned and turned a somersault in its efforts to escape rapidly. It was ab- 
 ones household pets as well.
 Taking trusting Rosita in hand we literally endowed her with Purple Powder and then, much injured, she re- tired to a corner and licked off all she could, with the result that we arose at midnight and rang up to veterinaries who saved her life at the cost of $25, to say nothing of our nights slumbers.
 "Rosita was so low in spirits after the Purple Powder that I decided to give her a bath tinctured with Looms lotion, which fellow at the club told me about.
 "Rosita, however, did not seem to comprehend what was expected of her because when I dropped her into the nice bath of Looms lotion she gave one exasperated bark and bit me, not a play-bite, but the kind that makes one yelp. Afterward she had chill and

Put no faith in trying to make your husband support you and the children if you are divorced from him. Alimony is virtually uncollectible unless man has real estate. And, anyway, by hook or crook, man gets out of paying it by spending so much money on his vices that he has none left for his children.
 Also, as long as you keep your home together you have a living, a settled place in society, and you are that much better off than you would be if you were thrown out on your own resources and had to earn your bread and butter in an office or behind a counter.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-28

Of course, you can never love and trust your husband again as you have done. Possibly he is one of the men who do not have it in them to be faithful to one woman. But even so, can you not put love out of your life and be friends with him, and put matrimony on a busi- ness basis, and so find yourself better off than you would be if you were divorced?
 I am strongly of the opinion that, as long as a man is kind to his wife and pleasant to live with, she is wise not to break up her home because he is unfaithful to her. It even scene to me that there are worse faults that hus- band can have than philandering, which is, after all, a matter of the flesh. He can be spiritually untrue to her. He can be cruel and tor ment her very soul out of her, and these are the unforgivable sins.

Dear Dorothy Dix-I am twenty three years old and have been keeping steady company with young man. I love him very much, but at the least disagreement we have he threatens to take his life if I don't give in. This worries me very much. What would you advise? MABEL.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-28

As to your questions, I think you are asking a good deal of an eighteen-year- old boy to live the life of hermit while you are gone, and he would be more than human if he did. He will want to go around and havo a good time with other young people of his own age.
 Certainly, absence is very apt to weaken love, especially in the young, and your sweetheart would be much more liable to be faithful if you were on the ground to look after your fences.

would you advise us to get married! :! If he stays true until finish my nurs- ing course, would it indicate that he would make a good, reliable husband, whom I could always depend on loving and caring for me? IN DOUBT.
 Answer: My dear girl, if you
 are going away to take course in
 nursing, why don't you wait until
 you get through before you decide
 the all-important question of hus-
 band? Surely, at eighteen, there is. no great hurry in making a final
 decision.
 You are worrying whether this boy will be true to you, and whether he will want you when you come back. How about yourself? You are going away for several years to live in al city among strangers, to acquire city ways and city points of view, and get city clothes. You will study and improve your mind. You will be thrown with many highly accomplished and educated men of the world. You will meet many fascinating doctors and internes.
 By the time you have finished
 your training course you will be an
 entirely different girl from the one
 you are now, and there are hun
 dred chances to one that you will
 have outgrown your boy sweet
 heart and won't want him at any
 price. So why don't you be a sensi-
 ble girl and act fairly toward him
 and yourself and call your engage

ment off? Then when you come back, if you still love each other, you can renew it.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-28

As to what age you should marry, that depends on many things besides the calendar. It largely depends on the young man making enough money to support family in comfort. No man has right to marry until he can do that, no matter what age he has at- tained. And it is always a mistake for very young people to marry be- cause they almost always change and passionately regret marrying the one they did.
 Certainly I think that if boy of eighteen stayed faithful for three or four years while you are away he would almost surely make a devoted husband.
 DOROTHY DIX. Dear Miss Dix-I have been mar. ried nine years, and have two darling little children. My husband has always been good to me, but have just found out that he has been leading the double life ever since we have been married He confessed to me when one of his women friends was going to squeal or him. He had no cause to treat me so as have done everything in the world to please him and he admits that l have been model wife.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-(By the A. P.)-
Although wheat today opened at the
highest price which the December
delivery had touched yet this sea-

about decided upset. The initial
upturn was due to higher quotations
at Liverpool and to further drought

There were many other arrivals
on the boat, not to mention the
people.
The arrivals on the boat We're

Many people came to see them,
and the other animals and birds

ways:
"Oh, you'll probably have all the

now.
"But they'll come back and look
at us after time, for we are old

Among the new arrivals at the
zoo were snakes and birds, a red

five black apes, two wild swans
also from India, number OF
Python and Cobra snakes and some
wonderful owls from the Far
East.
The wild ass was very vain. Or
perhaps we should say he was very
particular about his personal ap-
pearance, and had a great deal of
pride in the way he looked.
When he wasn't eating or sleep
ing or doing he was spending his
time looking after his long, shaggy

There also has arrived a Hoolac

But the Pygmy Elephant was
the great zoo attraction. He was
a rare animal, indeed. to arrive In
a ZOO.
The other elephants looked at
him and thought to themselves that
it was strange that SO small
creature should be given SO much
attention when they were so ready
to entertain the visitors.
But PygmX got all the attention,
far more than any of the other new
arrivals.
And Pygmy said to himself:
"Well, put up with good deal

The Py8nny Elephant
By MARY GRAHAM BONNER

The Pygmy Elephant had recent
~ been brought from Africa to the
zoo.
He had not done this of his own
accord, but those who were bring
Ing him along had thought this was
a good plan.

travellers said.

A pygmy is q small creature, and
the elephant was very small. 1t

He was only three feet high and

OF course that seems to be pretty

but in time he would grow older,

When he was a good deal older
he would weigh about two hundred
pounds more' than he did now.
His journey had been a strange
one. First he had been brought
down several rivers in Il canoe es-
pecially fixed for this great occa-
sion.
Then he had been put on the
big ocean boat and there he had
been given II little cabin of his
own made especially for him. He
had curtains upon this so that he
could shut out the light when he
wanted to sleep.
But he was so fascinated by the
curtains that he kept closing them
all the time.
