DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

Will you kindly advise me. I
am "a years old, married and
doing we'll. I went to school
only two years. my health was
bad when 1 was a child. I
thought maybe you could tell
me how to get a little more
education. I do not want peo-
pie to know just how little edu.
cation have. Could you tell
me Of some good school books to
read? Also the name Of a good
cook book? I am very proud;
all I want Is to learn to read
and spell we'll. I will watch for
your answer. always read your
advice to others. A.B.C.
AS you have neither confided
your name, address or enclosed
a self-addressed envelope, my
dear A.. B. c., it will be impos-
sible for me to answer your
letter in this column. AS we
never give any information that
could be clasSed as commercial
advertising. But If you will
send me q self-addressed en-
velope and tell me the subjects
in which you are especially In
tereSted, I'll do my best to help
you.

in bed at that, her nightgowa,
plan but impeccably sheer,
falling down off one shoulder,
her brick-colored, eccentric hair,
which she wore brushed up
perpendicularly off her ears as

sort of tremor, faint as a blue

intensity that was embarraSs-

to see her wanting anyth' lg.
It stretched her face so, draw

still from the bony outline,
nakedly. like a person biting

was, it left him lying there,
with his tired hand pressed
against his eyes and his lips
lifted back slightly from his

Goes With Him Against Her
Mothers Wishes
nrAR NEISS rAKREAY.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am rather young I admit
but I am in love with q boy
who loves me. We have been
going with each other since
September steadily with the ex-
ception Of q month my mother
forbade me to see or talk with
him. During this time each
of us has learned to care even
more for each other. I am now
going with him against moth
er's wishes.
He is going to call up and
try to explain things. but I am
rather frightened because I
know mother! I have been 60
ing with boys for about three
years and, while we didn't see
each other, I didn't care to see
anyone else. I am very happy
when I am with him and even
happy when I am alone with
his picture. Please advise me
what to do in case mother
refuses.
PUZZLED.
You don't tell me your age,
but I'm convinced you're not
old enough to be meeting q
boy clandestinely against your
mothers wishes. The fact that
the boy wishes to tell your
mother about it Is in his favor
and I hope, for your own sake,
that you'll give up seeing him
for the present unless your
mother agrees.

That Fatal After.Dinner Nap

That Fatal After.Dinner Nap
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
When I married my hus-
band, who is eight years older
than l am, I just worshiped
him, but he has several habits
that are very trying. He
doesn't hold his knife and fork
correctly and after dining he
always dozes off to sleep and
usually snores. He looks so
homely that I hate to see him.
Another thing, he doesn't want
to take me out with him eve
nings, saying he is tired. Don't
you really think he should
take me out?
LONESOME BRIDE.
Aren't you quite a bit spoiled,
my dear Lonesome Bride, to
take a few of life's crumpled
rose leaves so seriously? AS to
that knife and fork trouble, get
one of those illustrated books on
table setting and table manners.
There you will see knives and
forks held in the correct posi-
ton. Playfully ask your hus-
band If you hold yours correctly.
Make a little fun Of the business
but for goodness sake don't
correct him, as that would hurt
his feelings. When he takes his
after-dinner nap, go into the
next room-a man working hard
all day is entitled to q nap and
to do a little snoring on the
side. Don't go through life
looking for trouble-you'll find
plenty Of it if you do. Yes, I
think he should take you out
occasionally.

once. He wants to make up

 The Geological Survey has just issued a pamphlet giving a favor able report of B. D. Stewart, super vising engineer, of the gypsum de- posits on Chichagof Island. A re- cent deposit has been discovered east of the mine on Gypsum creek and underlies an elevated bench land adjacent to the shore of Iyou- keen Cove.
 The Alaska employees and others of the Department of the Interior have had their travelling expense allowances reduced $l a day, with the admonition that travel should be kept to minimum. The reduc- tion Is from $7 to $6 and from $6 to s5. If they travel on the smaller sum they are not required to Sub- init an itemized expense account, which is required when they choose the higher allowance.

If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don't swallow 2 lot of salts, mlneral water, oi laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full oi sunshine.
 For they can't do it. They only move the bowels and q mere movement doeea' a't get at the cause. The reason for your down-aad-out feeling is your liver It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
 If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach You have thick, bad taste and your breath IS foul, skin often breaks out in blennishes. Your head aches and you feel down and out. Your whole system is poisoned.
 It takes those good, old CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you y, feel up and up." They contain wonderful, harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when it comes to making the bile flow freely.

ALASKA ITEMS OF INTEREST AT THE
 NATIONAL CAPITAL


 WAS.)-The report that the War Department intends to have bill introduced In the forthcoming Con- gress authorizing the sale to the highest bidder, of the Washington Alaska Military Cable and Tele- phone System, prompted Delegate Wickersham to secure definite m- formation on the subject. He learn ed that the Legislative Committee of the War Department, as is cus- tpmary, prepared a number of bills to be first submitted to the ecre- tary of War. This committee has prepared it's report and has includ-, cd the same bill that was intro duced in the last Congress, provid- ing for the sale of the cable syS- tenn. This report has not yet been submitted to Secretary Hurley, and of course, has not yet received his endorsement. Tn the hope that this may be prevented, the Dele gate has written the Secretary a lengthy letter, explaining why the sale should not be made, and end- Ing with the latter paragraphs:
 T am writing you, MT. Secretary, upon behalf of the people of Alaska, to urge the advisability and neces- sity of the government retaining the operation of this system, which Is now satisfactory and highly de- sirable. The introduction in the coming Congress, of bill to au- thorize the sale of this system would be a sad blow to the inter .ests of Alaska. And we place our faith in your friendliness to dtS- courage this attempt to sell or transfer. From a monetary stand point we understand that the sys- tenn is not a tax on the govern ment, when the free business of the various Departments and Bu- reaus is taken into consideration, and when part of the expense of the repair ship Dellwood is properly charged to other activities. !.
 Personally, I feel very intensely on this subject, fearing that a change in ownership would reduce the splendid service that we now have and result in an increase of the present satisfactory traiff. If a bill for the sale of the system were not again introduced in Congress there would be general satisfaction and rejoicing in Alaska. May we not ask you give serious considers tion to the matter before deciding question that is of such vital con- cern to a struggling Territory"

HOPE FOR BUS FARE CUT
WAVES AFTER FARLEY

Small hope of lower bus fares was
held today by civic leaders, after
presenting their demands for fare
revision to officials of the Indian
apolis Street Railway Company
Friday.
Demands that bus fares be
equalized to the same level as street
car fares, to prevent discrimination
against districts of the city served
by buses, were laid before the
street railway officials
Deficits for the last ten months
in operating both the street railway
and the Peoples Motor Coach Com
pany formed the main reason for
the officials not considering reduc-
ing fares at this time, they said.
Samuel Harrig, president of the

tiyes, asked that bus fares be put on
the same basis as street car fares.

Margaret MakenSon, 78, of 33S East
Morris, branded as illegal, ridicu-
lous and outlandish" by Henry o.
Goett, city clerk, who was vol
untary witness before the grand
jury.
Two verdicts in the heat pros
traJion case of Jesse o. Cant, poul-
try company employee, returned by
Vehling within thirteen days con-
tanned glaring discrepancies. One
said prostration was the death
cause and the other carried this
verdict with acute alcoholism added.
