LETTER FROM PRISCILLA BRAD.
FORD TO MRS. MARY ALDEN
PRESCOTT.
MY DEAR FRIEND:

MY DEAR FRIEND:
do not know just how to write
you this letter. The whole matter is
SO delicate, however, that am afraid
would not have the courage to place
1t before you, by word of mouth.
In the first place I want to say to
you that I have almost come to your
way Of thinking about the movies.
This whole town is given up to ad-
vertising that picture, "Trumping His
Heart" My friends tell me the young
woman who takes the principal part
was an advertising model who came
from Albany and a very rich cloak
and sui maker sent her to Hollywood
They seem to think she Is not a good
woman,
What Next
1 cannot understand, dear Mrs Pres
colt. what this world is coming to
when we allow such women to act
for the screen. Why, even I felt
sorry for her.
And they tell me she is earning
100000 a year. 1t is enough to make
virtuous woman like myself think
tAdC GOd A4dS IOTSdkSH Jn0 WOTlQ. ES-
pecially, my dear Mrs. Prescott, as
we do not find this loose living only
upon the stage and the moving pic
lures. In fact, I said to my friends
the other night when we were dining
at the Waldorf. that one could hardly
eat in a public restaurant nowadays
for fear Of being contaminated by scar
let women.
OF course know that you have not
heard from your son John lately. I
have been wondering, my dear friend,
If he has taken your advice and sepa-
rated from his wife.
Yesterday, after the episode of
which 1t grieved my heart so to tell
you, I saw Mrs. Prescott with her
father and mother and this time again
I was near her table and heard enough
Of the conversation to know that at
least Mr.. and Mrs. Hamilton were
going abroad. I did not get whether
Mrs. Prescott was going with them
or not. I did. however, hear them
talk Of the baby" and 1 know that
your sons wife has it with her.
Some misunderstanding
/ think. and I am sure you will
understand, have a very plausible
reason for thinking so. that there has
been at least some misunderstanding

between your dear John and his silly
wife.
OF course, her family, for whom I
never cared much. would take their
daughters part. and the Englishman,
whom I saw dining with her yester-
day, will probably return to England
Immediately, if not with them, shortly
after.
You cannot tell how sorry am
for you and for your dear son.

whether you will write your son a

No SCruDIeS for Her

Dear Martha Lee: The man where l
work gave me q nice Christmas present The
fellow / go with was mad We are about
to split up over II. He says he intends TO
find out what the man gave his wife
don't believe he gave her anything, because
7 have been married and the way he looks
and talks to me shows me he does not love
his wife very much He has made love to
ne. He has a gOod-looking wife, I admit,
but he tells me she IL jealous of him.
I don't believe there is such g thing "a
true married man. do your I would marry
the fellow 1 go with. for I love him dearly,
IL I could trust him But when one is pur-
sued by married men every day. she gets
disgusted with marriage VOWS and learns
only to firt. A DISGUSTED VAMP.
Perhaps your husband would have
been true to you, IL some girl had not
encouraged him as you now encour-
age other married men. Did that ever
occur TO you? The man is not always
entirely to blame. And many married
men are true. The happy married
people are the ones we don't hear or
read so much about, because they do
not create much stir.
Send back the Christmas gift, and
do your best to send the man back to
his wife You cobld do some good
work along that line. II you tried. in
stead Of being as disgusting as you
are Disguised.

Official Says.

GRAND FORKS. N. Oak. December
25.-TiThtenins Of tho Immigration
restrictions has turned many esrt-
arious occupation Of smuggling
aliens into the United States from
Canada. according to William Flynn,
director In charge Of this tmmigrs-
tioa district.
Two hundred men keep watchtui
eyes on some 1900 miles Of border
line under Mr.. Flynn's direction. and
IL is inevitable THAI this small force
cannot keep under constant obser-
vation every mile Of the line.
There are two principal methods
employed In smuggling aliens. ac-
cording to Mr.. Flynn. One is for the
alien desiring to enter the United
states to work his way to some city
near the border and then watch for
an opportunity to walk across the
border.
The other and more common meth
Cd is for veteran smugglers to load
an automobile with aliens and drive
across the border. dumping them
down at almost any place. with no
particular regard as TO the posi-
h.lity of the aliens being taken into
custody within q short time.
These smuggiers invariably leave
the alien with very little money, Mr..
Flynn declares. and IL is easy for the
smuggler to average 800 for each
person thus Illegally transported. AS
q rule the foreigners are driven only
a mile or two across the border, but
occasionally they are taken to some
town on the United States side per-
Haps several miles from the line.
While deportation has been COM
mon practice, prosecution Is being
followed In this district and 'is get

By the numerous Obesity cures IRE.
duction treatments.' and other methods
Of getting thin. which arc widely ad-
vertised.
Fat i simply the surplus food which
the body cannot use and consequently
stores away.
Where does this fat come from?
From unnecessary food which has
been eaten by the thoughtIess or glut-
tonous person. who ia unable to control
his appetite.
In spite OF alIuring Advertisements.
there is just one effective and harm
less way Of reducing ones weight.
It can't be done by anything put up
In bottle or powder or a box. 1t
can only be done by limiting the
amount of food to what the body ac-
tually needs and by Increasing the
amount Of work to point where the
muscular activity burns up the surplus
fuel.
This process doesn't require an enor-
nous amount of self-control or self
denial. All that is necessary is to cut
out the unnecessary foods and 50 to
plan the diet as to furnish enough fuel
without too much .fat-forming food.
Cutting out cream and sugar from
your coffee and substituting whole
wheat bread for white bread will en-
able you to reduce your weight in six
weeks time from 10 to 10 pounds. The
plain coffee tastes better and the whole
wheat bread satisfies better than the
white and one slice will do the work
Of two Of white. This means that you
win eat only half as much bread and
half a. much butter. while the bread
that Is eaten is not as fat-producing
a. white bread.
Substituting leafy vegetables such
az lettuce. cabbage, spinach, caulihow-
or and others, for the starchy vegeta-
bles. such as potatoes. peas and beans,
II good for a reduction of another ID
or 20 pounds.
By this time the health and beauty
seeker has not only gotten rid Of the
fat deposits under the skin and around
the muscles WHICH. interfered with
their eficiency. as well as the fat de-
posits around the intestines and the
heart, which were hampering their ac-
tion, but he has also found that he
feels much better and that all of his
friends are commenting on his vastly
improved appearance
And for this safe and sure ''obesity
cure" he hasn't had to pay flve cents
to anybody. On the contrary, he has
saved money.
Use common sense and take your
own obesity cure.
