 You'll probably say, How do you know all this when you're not mar ried ?" You haven't got sense enough | to understand that while I don't | know women very well, l do know my own sex, and all l have been do- ing here is to tell you few truths about yourself and myself and every other man.
 By the way, I had a letter from Paula Perrier, written to me from Chicago. She's an amazing woman. She wrote the letter to urge me to advise you to take the money she wants to settle on little Jack. In some ways I think it would be a good thing for both little Jack and Paula, although l am not sure it is the best thing in the world for Paula to still feel she has claim on the boy. What she ought to do is to forget the incident and fall in love with some other man, if a man is necessary to her peace of mind.
 However, you might invest the money in good bonds, and if Paula should ever be in need-you cant ever tell what will happen to these moving picture actresses--you could give it hack to her Otherwise it would be nice nest egg 10 start the boys education and set him up in business.

This Should Help Out
 John D.'s Indigestion

Steps will be taken at a meeting of the ordinance committee Friday night to strike from the present or dlnances the clause that no gasoline filling station shall be built within geo feet of a church building. A change to make the requirement. 100 feet will be urged to permit the Standard Oil Co. to build station at the corne' of Franklin square and Pearl street. The company bought the site of the Knights of Columbus and while plans were in progress for a filling station a change was made in the ordinance that made it impossible for the com- pany to build. Several members of the common council say they were not aware of the change until the building commission held up per- nit sought by the Standard Oil Co.
 The ordinance committee will also take up Alderman J. Gustav John sons recommendation that laws be enacted to insure safe and sane" Fourth of July. The alderman sub mitted a resolution at the last meet ing of the common council but did not explain his plan. He will be in- vited to attend Fridays session.

"I never saw such mean old Genii." Raggedy Andy whispered as he and Raggedy Ann and Mrs. Min gle and Mir. Mungle and the hobby horse waited until the Genii ate so much from Mrs. Mingle's magic cup board he would grow sleepy.
 Neither did T." Raggedy Ann agreed, But we have fooled the Genii this time. Before, the Genii fooled us and put us to sleep when we ate the magic chocolate he gave us, but none of us ate them this time, so as soon as we hear him snoring, we will take Mrs. Mingle's magic cupboard away from him!"
 In a very few minutes the Genii was snoring ever so loud, and Geniis can snore very, very loud at times.
 Now is your chance" Ragsedy Andy whispered, i've will tptoe in and seize the cupboard and carry it away!"
 Tt would he wrong for us to leave the Genii here at the castle!" Mr. Mungle said, flor, as you know. the Genii will start right in again, just as soon as we leave, to capture more people and keep them pris- oners here! We must plan some way so that will not happen!"
 "let us get the magic cupboard first" Mrs. Mingle said, "I am sure we all are very hungry and the sooner we get the cupboard the sooner we can eat!"
 So Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and Mir. Mungle and Mrs Min gle and the hobby horse all tiptoed in to where the Genii sat fast asleep and with ropes they tied him very tightly to his chair. And just as they had finished doing this. the Genii awakened.
 "Here: Whats going on around here, I'd like to know ,"
 We have tied you 10 the chair. Nr. Genn. that's what" Raggedy l Ann said.
 Well sir: You had better unite | nc right away before get real ! iiNh n'i N''h n i'' VI iiosi' VH ! 'ou," the Genii said in a threatening | manner.
 "Ha. ha, hal" the hobby horse i suEhed. "I 'spect you don't know | hat we are not esen smidgin I 'fraid of your magic when you are jed up, Mir Genii!"
 Indeed not" Raggedy Ann auEhed. What in the world could | .ou do? Just you tell us that Mir. l Ienii?' !

 What had we better do?" Mrs. Mingle asked Raggedy Ann.
 "fo ou had better unite me. that's what" the Genii said. Now l shall begin 10 count and you will be sorry when get to one hundred, can tell you."
 So the Genii started 10 count and Raggedy Ann did not know what to do.
 "Ninetv-one. ninety-two, ninety three" the Genii counted. Suddenly Raggedy Andy had an idea. he ran to where the Genii had left the box of sleep chocolates and when he re- turned he pushed three into the Genii's mouth while Mir. Mungle held the Genii's nose. So the Genii nod ded his head and in two seconds he himself was fast asleep, "Aha!" laughed Raggedy Ann. when anyone tries to harm sn- other. very often that harm returns to the sender and that is what has happened to old Mister Genii!"

Letter from Sydney Carton to John
 AlAen proernff

Letter from Sydney Carton to Jolr
 Alden Prescott.
 Your letter, Jack, was exactl, what expected of you. You alway. get yourself into trouble. and ther you ask somebody to get you out ol 1t. Some day, old man, you'll come cropper. I won't have so yer, much sympathy for you even then and I certainl have none now.
 l wonder if you realize that il Leslie wishes she can take that boy away from you. It wouldn't surprise me at all If she did this It would be rather poetic retribution, wouldn't 1t, If little Jack learned to call some other man Daddy" Stranger things have happened.
 often wonder why it is that men beem to think they are capable of loving as many times as they find the time, the place and the girl in conjunction, while they are sure that women never love but once: All the great lovers of history have voiced thie sentiment, Heine, bless his egotistical heart, having said that women are too delicate and spiritual minded to feel the great passion more than once. I'd like to have him tell that to a modern flap per, wouldn't you?
 Of course I don't know Leslies side of your story. but I think you would better get into the band wag- on right away. First thing you know Leslie will tire of your foolish meas and tell you so. 1 don't mind telling you. not even having heard from Leslie on the matter, that I'll put my money on her and wager everything have in the world that che is right.
 You say you can't understand her. You mean you can't understand why she has disappointed you in some sgotistical thing that you think is due you from her. If you had grain of sense you would know that any woman who cared enough for 9 man to do what Leslie has for you would not stoop to betray him in the slightest degree, even if she found to her great disappointment, that he had not come up to the ideal which 1 she had of him.
 can't help thinking that little cat of sister of hers was at the bottom | of this trouble. This may be just | hunch, but from what you have said | about her, and from what l saw of | her at your wedding three years ago, I am sure che would stop at nothing to get what she wants. She seems fo me kind of second edition of Mrs Atherton without Mrs. Ather- toms common sense and loyalty 10 her friends.
 bet you'll find out that she sent that anonymous letter. You bit, all right, old man. and in doing so you have hurt grievously the woman you say you love.
 I should think women would hate 1e. We never stop to look at their Ii1e of . controversy. Ne never Ionsnlt their wishes czss5t when !

ON HEALTH- WAR ON WRINKLES

Wrinkles creep into the face of all of us-and Mrs. Mann of AnytoWn was no exception.
 She found what is known as the Berlin method" helpful in remov- ing them.
 This method starts with steaming the face. Narrow strips of court plaster are applied to the wrinkled sections, but first these sections must be smoothed carefully with the fingers. To get results this treat ment, must be persisted in, for some time and applications should be made twice a week.

FRENCH DESERTERS
 UNDER AMNESTY
Bill Passed by Chamber of Dep. uties Allows Them to Return

Paris, Aug. 27,-The amnesty bill just passed by the chamber Of deputies is expected in some quar- ters to result in general resurrec- ton of French soldiers who had passed into history as killed on the field of battle"
 Already, though the senate has still to pass on the measure, desert- CTS are crossing the frontiers and breathing the air of France for the 1 first time in six years or more. One of them, a soldier named Robin, given up for dead after the battle of the Chemin des Danes in April, 1917, startled his brother, who keeps wine shop in Paris, by sud- denly appearing before him the other day.
 You don't know me-" remarked the deserter, who had grown beard during his exile.
 No, l don't know you" was the reply.
 'I am your brother" replied ths deserter.
 My brother was killed at the Chemin des Dames," was the re- ioinder.
 No" insisted the deserter, 'there were not so many butchered as was supposed. A lot of them de- serted to the enemy and l was among them. Now that the cham Der has passed the amnesty law I have come back and I need money to start me off"
 The brother agreed to give him funds on condition that he never show his face in the neighborhood again.
 The deserter walked off with the money to celebrate his return at public ball in the Boulevard de Grenelle. There he picked a quar- rel and within half an hour was carried out with fatal stab in the abdomen. ..
 Another deserter who was also among the missing" of the Chemin des Danes battle turned up at his fathers farm in the Morbihan de- pertinent. A neighbor who hap pened to be present remarked that he was not yet safe, as the senate had not yet adopted the amnesty law. The deserter, angered by this interference, cried, You'd be capable of denouncing me-" drew knife and p1lnped if into tho peiphhor's breast. This deserter is now again a fugitive from justice.
 More than 1900 French deserters living in Geneva, where they have formed a Friendly Association of Deserters." are preparing to come back in a body. Other Swiss towns shelter as many if not more and there are supposed to be great many still in Germany.

 Place it on the forehead upon go- ing to bed and leave it through the night, unless it begins to smart. Then it is best to remove 1t or the skin will be reddened.
 For general skin stimulation, bathe the face in cold water, then rub briskly with towel or with the hands and rub in some good cold cream.
 Electric apparatus may now be secured which, when properly ap- piled, helps in many cases.
