Danger Signals.

Karl is regarded by most girls as
great catch He's a popular 'boy-
always present on big parties-alWays
invited by some girl to make a fourth
at bridge or tennis or golf. AND ne
the eayest. mast charming of compan-
ions on any party. He simply radi'
ates good humor
His Jokes are not stale-hls manner
is happy and carefree. He seems 10
be the incarnation Of good humor.
Only, now that Julia has been en-
gagged to him for three months she
beginning to be vaguely unhappy.
Sothine has happened definitely to
trouble her. She just has a feeling.
that's all.
Karl comes over to see her -FOUR
times a week, naturally. They We
usually an engagement Of some sort,
but occasionally they find 1t necessary
to camp in the living room for the
evening and talk together.
These evenings should really be the
happiest-they should glory in the op-
portunity of uninterrupted hours IN
each others exclusive society.
But somehow. although Julia fuses
and prinks and arranges all sorts OF
things she has to talk over with her
future husband, the evening Is usually
a fiat tire.
Karl, somehow, seems different.
He's not his usually vivacious self. He
sits moody and distracted. surveying
his finger nails with the greatest inter
est.
He rises abruptly. goes to the
| phonograph and turns on a record,
huns a few bars, turns 1t off again.
and returns to his chair. drumming
restlessly on it's arm with his nervous
fingers.
This sort of thing goes on until
Julias nerves are on the breaking
point. Yet she tries to fight down her
irritation. telling herself that Karl
is tired-that the long day at the Office
made him moody and dismal.
But she can't kid herself about the
change in his manner when others
come in. If a crowd of young people
suddenly bursts into Julia's house,
Karl snaps out Of his mood swiftly.
In a flash he is his charming self.
He sparkles and laughs and jokes
with everybody. Gone is the moodi-
ness and dependency.
Julia asks herself despairingly
whether she's to blame-whether her
personality has this dampening effect
fault. She's simply had the mis-
fortune to fall in love with the type
of man who isn't happy unless he is
in crowd. It's karl's temperament
to love to be the center Of attention.
When he's alone. even with the girl
he loves. he's dissatisfied. His ego
tism Graves admiration from many.
Julia will have to reconcile herself
to the constant society of other peo-
pie if she marries this boy. And she
will also have to reconcile herself to
living with supreme egotfst. Ac-
tions like karl's are danger signals
which should not be ignored.

counting the Days.

AS the Summer months passed Betty
grew more listless every day. II was
difficult dragging herself out of bed
in the morning 1t seemed as If she
were tired all the time. and yet she
continued to concentrate on the
thought of September and what it
would bring.
September, The word had a mag
ical sound in more ways than one.
For one thing, it sounded cool. and
certainly Betty had never known a
Summer to be warmer. The city
sweltered. The papers were full of
items about the crowds sleeping on
the sands at Coney and on the roofs
of tenements. and there were morn
ings when she was on her way to
work that blue haze seemed to swim
over the asphalt of the streets, max
ing her feel dizzy.
In August she went home for
much needed vacation, and in the
cooler air of upstate New York she
grew stronger again. Her mother,
shocked to find her looking so thin
and white. insisted upon babying her.
For the first two or three days she
had breakfast in bed and stayed there
until almost noon. But when she be-
gan to feel better it was fun to see
the friends she had known as child
and 10 display her ring. and her
diamond bracelet. and even the silver
toilet set which she had brought with
her.
Here it was not as it had been in
New York. Here the girls frankly
envied her for what they called
catching a rich husband" And Betty.
with the color back in her cheeks
and her eyes starry, would laugh at
them gayly.
"If you knew how little difference
that made to me-" she would tell them
I'D marry him tomorrow if he didn't
have a cent"
Mrs Ames, mother-like, had talked
with Betty about the duration of the
enga cement. but Betty had replied
evasively. eagerly defending Jim. and
unconsciously using some of his own
phrases.
Jim knows best, mother. and after
all. we are to be married next month.
It's natural for a man to think of the
future and he wants me to have
everything. Wait till you come down
to New York for a visit Then I'll
make you stay in bed in the morning
while l spoil you"

Toilet SOAPS.

There are certain things in which
you should not economize, and one OF
these is the soap you use on your face.
You can get fair quality toilet soaps
as cheaply as and cents cake,
which will do very we'll for bath
soaps. but you should use a better
quality on your face. Usually the
cheaped the soap the more caustic 1t
is. and you must have what the trade
calls superfatted soap for your com
plexion. Otherwise you dry the oils
out of the skin, leaving it harsh apt
to chap in cold weather and inclined
to wrinkle.
If you can afford to spend 25 to so
cents for a cake of soap knowing
that one cake if used only on the
face will last about two months), buy
yourself cold cream soap. There are a
dozen or more brands on the market
and it doesn't matter which you get,
for at this price the quality is sure to
be good Cold cream soap will lather
in the hardest water, it is unusually
cleansing and the skin looks and feels
deliciously refreshed afterward.
If YOU must be very economical,
wait until sale time and then buy a
bar of the real Italian olive oil soap,
CASTLE soap. The bars are about IS
inches long. and I've seen them as
cheap as so cents. The soap is very
soft, the economical thing is to cut
each bar into 2-inch thick slices and
to stand these with an air space be
tween each in some warm cupboa I'd
to dry. You can buy either the green
or yellow bars: one is as good as the
other
If the water you use is hard buy a
special hard water soap, or tie a little
oatmeal in cheesecloth and squeeze
this in the water, or buy powdered
oatmeal and sprinkle this in the wa
ter. Do not use this cold cream soap
for washing your hair the scalp is a
different problem.

NV Neighbor SAYS:

A good washing fluid is made
by mixing equal quantities Of
LIQUID ammonia and turpentine.
Add two tablespoons of this
when boiling clothes.
To remove the shell of an egg
quickly after it has boiled the
required time. place 1t in basin
of cold water for two seconds
and the shell will come off with
out difficulty.
To eXterminate worms in flow
erpots. water the earth with a
strong solution of soapsuds or
use a teaspoon of ammonia in
quart of water. The worms
that it does not kill will come
to the surface for air and you
can destroy them. Water the
earth the same as if you were
using plain water. Do not get
it on the plant Use 1t several
times.
After removing any stains and
spots on linen. wash it in warm
suds Do not starch, but treat as
follows: Hang out very straight
on line, with warp threads
across line. While still slightly
damp. take from line, fold care
fully and evenly and iron dry.
Begin ironing on wrong side,
finishing on right. Use only
moderately hot iron.
When sending choice cut
flowers a long distance, cut Sits
in raw potatoes and fix the
stems firmly in the openings.
The flowers will keep from 10

AnsWer-The answer involves a
story which outvies romance. When
Gregory the Great was yet a monk in
St. Andrews Monastery, at Rome. he
chanced to see three Yorkshire boys
exposed for sale as slaves. Struck by
their fair complexion and light f1axen
hair, he asked whether they were
Pagans or Christians. Upon learning
that they were pagans he lamented
the fact. and inquired the name of
their nation. angles was the reply.
We'll said" responded the future pom
tiff. Brightly are they called Angles.
for they have the faces of angels,
and they ought to be fellow heirs of
heaven"
Years passed, but Gregory did not
forget the scene in the marketplace
of Rome, and after he was elected to
the papal chair he dispatched St.
Augustine to the land of the angles" F."
or. as it is now known, England. The
first missionary to the southern prov
ince of the country landed in Kent.

founded the Christian faith. for which
reason it Is still the capital city of
Anglicanism and its cathedral the
mother church of millions of believers

mate in London. But the circum-

Answer-The life your daughter
loved is still hers in added abundance
and beauty. Her body is in the grave,
not her real self. The vital spark
which animated her earthly frame is
forever near its central Flame. Why

Your heart by useless grief? Think
of her as eagerly awaiting you and
not completely satisfied till you re
join her.
Meanwhile divert your affection for
her into ministerial ways. Help the
darkened lives of other girls not so
fortunate as she was, so that they
may ultimately be where she is. The
wounds of a great sorrow can be-
come the cha annels of a great service.
Here is your opportunity and your
consolation.

Uric Acid Rarely Happens.

Uric acid is not a poison. Large

discomfort whatever. SO the
popular fancy that this and that all

poisoning has no foundation. The
uric acid obsession moves lot or
"eliminants," baths. fool diet systems
and the like, which without this oh
fuscation of the lay mind would be
a drug on the market
There is nothing in common be-
tween uric acid" and ''acidosis." The
popular notion that uric acid is in
some way concerned in 'acidosis" or
"acidity of the blood is without any
foundation IN fact Para phrasing the
adage. a fool and his uric acid obses-
sion are hard to part.
Bearing IN mind the undebatable
physiological fact that uric acid
has nothing whatever to do with
"acidosis" Or acid in the blood" we
may safely mention. but not describe.

In which there is an excess Of uric
acid in the blood. Please take par

Just how much uric acid ones

Wakefulness.

In answer to Mrs l.. NJ. B.:
1t is natural for healthy and well
nourished child to sleep, and when
these natural habits are broken into
it is because there is something
wrong somewhere, and almost always
this fault can be traced to incorrect
feeding.
Since you made no mention at all
of how she is being fed. it is impossi-
BILE for me to tell you what is wrong
there. Perhaps you are still nursing
her, and at II months of age this
would be the wrong thing to do. and
weaving and feeding her properly
would undoubtedly stop the wakeful-
ness at night. Sometimes too hot a
room or room with too little air or
heavy covers will disturb the child's
sleep. but in most cases it is just food
as babies sleep under all sorts of dis
comforts when their tummies are we'll

Worms.
Mrs. J. X. D.:
1t is A frightful thing to dose a
child with worm medicine periodically
lust because you think he has "stom-
ach trouble" and it might be worms.
There is no need to wonder If child
has worms. Consult doctor
before beginning any course of
strong durgs like worm medi-
cines. This is the same princi-
pie as giving a child castor oil in
order to ward off possible constipa-
tion. Drugs of any kind should never
be given unless there is a real reason
for them, and if one is in any doubt
at all it is better to err on the side
of not giving than giving them.

Clues to Character

Oliver Wendell Holmes once said OF

Holmes meant to describe. Emer-

great artistic beauty. Unity OF nina

sized than in the evolution of the lips.
The muscles of the mouth and lips are
extremely flexible and are capable OF
describing many diverse shapes.
Therefore, we naturally may expect
that permanent expressions will fol

speech that are habitual, as the pas

which he receives.
Olean, n. Y.
What is your idea of life after
death? Will it be one of continual
development of all latent powers with
us, and of all that is fine and spirit
ual?
Answer-The New Testament as
silres us that the eye has not seen,
nor the ear heard, neither has it en-
tered into the mind of man to con-
ceive the things. which God has pre-
pared for them that love Him. If this
is so. then there must be further
growth of mans faculties to enable
him to apprehend and enjoy the pro
vision made for him. in the spiritual
world.
The thought of the future here
sketched by the questioner is also i'm
piled, if not actually stated, in the
teachings of the New Testament. For
those who love the highest and strive
to attain a fuller understanding of the
divine mind and purpose there will be
no arrested development in the future
life.

What do you think of a great cor
poration which publicly boasts of its
generous treatment of its employees,
but which ruthlessly and without real
cause throws an employe out empty
handed after he has devoted "a of the
best years of his working life In loyal
and efficient service?
The service was rendered at such
meager wages that there was no sur
plus. after paying for the bare neces-
saries of life, to provide a margin for
saving any money against such con-
tingency.
What should I do?
MISUNDERSTANDING that your ques-
ton states what actually happened.
