When Manners AreCOrrect
BY Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman-

parently they have made every
effort to start a correspon-
dence with you, and certainly
must be wondering why you
do not write to them directly.
They sound like delightful
people. eager to be most hos
pitable and friendly. Write
them at once, and tell them
how happy you are to be in
such a family.
Don't make your letter
skimpy-write a chatty letter,
an appreciative letter, a daugh-
terly letter. Then / am sure
that not only will your hus-
bands family be proud of their
new daughter but that your
husband will be proud and de-
lighted that you yourself have
started a connection with his
family.

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

DEAR MEs5. BUCHANAN:
1 have been married a year,
and have never met my hus
bands family, who live quite
a distance away. Neither have
l ever written to any of them.
In each letter his sister writes
she sends her love to your
wife" and in the mail today
my husband received a lovely
book from her, and in the
same package was a lovely silk
nightgown for the little wife"
Should I write her a personal
letter thanking her for the
lovely gift or just thank her
through my husbands letter?
MRS. j. F..
urge you to change this
situation at once and begin
your own correspondence with
Your husbands family. Ap-

will tell YOU. when generated within
the digestive tract does Just the
things required for acidity. 1t stim,
ulates the secretion of the alkaline
mucus. 1t checks the putrefaction
and fermentation in the gastro-in-

All three effects are necessary to
the true relief of acidity and Mag

Household Hints

Cleaning Your Shades
When shades are of the wash
able variety they can be
scrubbed with soap and water.
Use a small brush with rather
soft briStleS and mild suds.
Wash with a circular motion
until all the surface has been
cleaned. Scrub a small area at
a time, rinse and wipe dry.

Colds
are so often a family
matter but so is
VA . = ~
BEFORE COLDS RUN RIOT
-BREATHE THEM AWAY
WITH THIS DELIGHTFUL
lNHALANT
SSSSSS%<<<&%&

CoLDs have a habit of spreading
through the whole family. From
father to mother to the children
, down to the baby. For every
one in the family, use Vapex. Use
it on the handkerchief or on the
children's blouses during the day
use it at each end of the pillow
at night. Day or night, you breathe
your colds away for the Vapex
vapor swiftly kills the germs of
common colds. j.. You will be sur
prised at the instant relief Vapex
gives you. Just a few deep whifs
and your head clears-your nose
stops snifling-infection is checked.
Colds have less chance to spread
because Vapex stops them at the
start. The economy of Vapex
will appeal to you too. One appli.
cation costs only &C and keeps its.
strength all day or all night. A dol
lar now saves dollars and distress
later. Buy the 81 bottle containing
fifty applications. Ask your drug
gist for V>A>P>E>X and do not &C.
cept a substitute. Cheaper imita-
tions never give the same results.

Danger Ahead
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Danger Ahead
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am IS years Of age, and
greatly in love with a married
man who also loves me. He Is
80 years old. He says he found
out after he married that he
did not love his wife and could
not be true to her. He wants
me to run away with him and
forget the past and start a
new life.
Please advise, as I am,
WORRIED.
You have every reason to he
worried, my dear child. Your
letter shows that you have been
completely duped by an utterly
unscrupulous and vicious man.
AS you value your happiness,
drop him, and at the same time
take into your confidence some
member of your family. II ycu

Measles

When in 1775 measles appeared among the inhabitants of the Fiji
 islands, in less than five months it
 caused the death of more than one
 fourth of all the population |, This disease is ono to which most
 of mankind is readily susceptible.
 It easily becomes an--cpidCmiC, and among those not comm only exposed
 to the disease, it may assume sc
 rious form causing great damage
 and death.
 In most civilized communities measles is always present. Pc rtodically it flares up. In dcnscly populated sections this flaringMp may take place every two years: Pcriodicity seems 10 depend upon
 how quickly a new crop of sus- ccptiblc babies is available.
 Ordinarily measles is a mild dis case. In the younger children. those under five years of age, how ever, it may assume q grave form.
 Tho true hazard in measles ap- pears to be it's tendency to weaken it's victim. It lowers body resistance and renders the individual more susceptible 10 other diseases These then appear as complica- lions.
 Tho most common complication of measles is broncho- pneumonia. This is q form Of pneumonia to which the young and thcoaGed are particularly susceptible. It is re- sponsbe for most of the deaths charged against measles. and is most apt to he fatal in those two years of age and under.
 The cause of measles still re- mains unknown. The blood of those recovering from an attack of measles. however, has been found
 to contain a something which can prevent the development of measles in those susceptible, and to render | the attack less severe.
 These effects arc gained by talk 1 ing some blood from those recover i ing from the disease and injecting | the serum into those sick.
