An Authority on Problems Of Love
and Marriage
Dear Miss Fairfax:
It seems to me, sometimes, as
If I'd had worse luck than any
one I've ever known. I am "a
and for the past three years
have been in love with a young
man who is dearer to me than
life itself. For two years we
have been engaged, and both Of
us have been saving every cent
toward buying a little bunga-
low in the suburbs. Maybe /
saved too much, Skimped too
hard on food, because I began
to lose my strength and take
cold easily. At last I went to a
doctor, who informed me I had
a well developed case Of tuber-
culosis, but if I followed
course of treatment, I could be
saved. My fiance could give me
this care, but would it be hon.
est to marry him and not tell
him the real cause of my fail
ing health, which is a sourse
of grave anxiety to him al
ready? If 1 tell him, I am
afraid he will break the engage
ment, as he has a strong teel-
ing about t. b., of which his
mother died some time ago.
MARY L. c.
I wish you had sent me your
personal address, because IN
cases like yours there isn't a
moment to lose. And If the
disease had not progressed be-
yond the curative stage, I'd
like to write you some sugges-
tions about rest, fresh air and
nourishing food.
Don't Be Secretive
There is absolutely no other
course open, as an honorable
woman, but to tell your flance
the true story Of your health.
You couldn't take advantage
of his love and trust to con-
ceal the fact you are suffering
from a disease about which ne
feels so strongly. But it would
not surprise me if, when he
knows the truth, he will marry
YOU and help to nurse you
back to health-which has been
done many times. I must urge
YOU, however, not to think OF
marrying without confiding the
truth to your fiance.
Take a brace, there's lots OF
hope for t. b. taken in time.

guess it's too late now to grleve

pretty good and I'm satisfied.
Carson lit a cigarette and
gazed half in amusement. half
in anger at the respectable
figure of Higgins.
"I see-you think I got them
myself? That's what you think,
eh, Higgins?"
Higgins spAead his hands ex-
pressively, shrugged his shoul-
ders. "How should I knoW?"
"I suppose you're idiot enough
to believe that" Carson told
him, unable to, conceal con-
tempt. "T'll put you right on
the subject once and for all.
I'm not low enoug yet to steal
from my friends. I'll go fur

else ever can say I was linked
up with the job. So if you are

Higgins apologized. If you say
you didn't, that's good enough
for me, Duke, anytime. Any
body might fall for string like
that one was. We're all open to
suspicion in the house"
"How about that young lady,
Miss Kitty, did you ever see her
before?" Carson demanded.
mo, sir, that is not until Miss
Connie brought her home for a
visit"
Quite a Relief
This was a relief to Carson;
Kitty and Higgins had come
from, approximately, the same
neighborhood. Fortunately, their
paths had never crossed, which
made it less awkward. What
Higgins did not know in that
quarter, Carson resolved, would
not hurt him.

innocent in this case, Higgins
Believe me, you had better 5e!
What do you think about this
fellow Tracy that hangs aroun1

A thin sneer formed on the
buffers lips.
"a ladies' man-no guts," he
said.
I'VE can't count everybody

have been here long enough to
get a line on the house and
the people around here. IF you
can help get those pearls back,
I think I can promise you a bit
of reward. When people do
favorS for me, I don't forget
them. Give me your best

Higgins gazed though fully
UP at the ceiling and thrust his
hands slowly in his trousers
pockets.

foundly.

HEALTH AND
DIET
BY Logan CIendening-

The surgeon who pointed out
the proper preparatory treat
ment of appendicitis was DR.. A.
j. Ochsner of Chicago. By pre-
paratory treatment I mean pre-
raratory of operation. DR..
Ochsner emphasized the danger
Of giving cathartics to these
patients, and it was his corten-
ton that unless they coul6 be
operated very early it is safer
to Starve them, and give no
cathartics until the fever and
acute symptoms have suhSided.
An Important Rule
From this work comes one
OF the most important health
rules on earth:
"Never give a person with an
acute pain in the abdomen a
cathartic."
All acute Stomachactles, of
course, are not due to sppendi-
citis. But if the stomachache
is not appendicitis the cathartic
is not needed, and if it is ap-
pendicitis it is deadly danger
Gus. If I had acute appendicitis
/ would rather go out and fight
G. mad dog than swallow an
ounce Of castor oil.
1t seems very hard to teach
people this. AS soon as they
get a stomachache they say,
Something I have eaten," and
rush pell nell for the medicine
closet. If you ever vomit after
taking a cathartic when you
are i'll, for heavens sake don't
repeat the dose. That is ma
lures way Of showing you moth
ing is wanted in the stomach.
An Interesting Case
I heard DR.. Ochsner tell once
how he found out about the no
cathartic treatment of appen.
dicitis. There was a very rich
and otherwise prominent citi-
zen of Chicago in the old days,
when aseptic surgery was young,
who had frequent attacks of ap-
pendicitis. Being of so much
Importance, he naturally had
great array of consultants.
He was always urged to have
his appendix out, but he never
would consent, so the consult
ants, after trying unsucceSsfully
to make him surgery minded,
fell back on the then fashion
able medical treatment for the
disease.
DR.. Ochsner lost track of him
for several years, and then one
day he met him walking in the
park. In the course of the ex-
change of greetings the doctor
asked him how his appendicitis
was.
You know, I've learned how
to cure appendicitis" was the
answer.
ne QOCGOr dVeTTeQ CQaC ne
had been trying to find out for
E. long time and asked what
the method was.
We'll, you see, you fellows
would give me castor oil and
salts and more castor oil all the
time. And I'd get sicker and
Sicker, until finally I got so sick
and weak I couldn't hold any
of it on my stomach. 1 began
to notice that when that time
came around I started to get
well. So decided would take
the last part of the treatment
first. Since then, whenever I
have al attack just go to bed,
refuse all food, water or salts,
and I get well in about + ,ur
days"
All this sounded sensible, and
from j. was derived the now
famous Ochsner treatment for
appendicitis.

Carson told him. IF I hadn't
been here today they'd have
called the police about those
pearls and you would most GER
tainly have been punished"
"That's right-but I didn't
get 'em. I don't mind admit
ting to you again, Duke, I was
tempted, but I didn't fall"
"Who did?"
"You can search me, Duke

INCREASE IN SCHOOL BUDGET NOT NEEDED
 FOR COMING YEAR
SAVING IN OPERATING FIX PENSES BY HAVING SCHOOL UNDER ONE ROOF IN NEW BUILDING WILL PAY FOR NEW EQUIPMENT NEEDED.

The school-board. Mrs. J. H. Wheeler, president. B. Y. Grant, treasurer, and Mrs. NJ. o. Johnson, clerk, met in regular session Tues day afternoon to arrange with Supt. Rasmussen the budget for the com ing school year. Due consideration for the anticipated saving in oper- ating expenses by having the entire school under one roof when the new building is finished was balanced against necessary expenditures for new equipment, and a satisfactory total not in excess of several preced- ing years resulted. Supt. Rasmussen and the clerk were appointed to lay the budget before the City Council at the May meeting.
 A petition requesting the estab- lishment of a kindergarten in con nection with the school was read and discussed. The petition was signed by fifteen mothers repre- senting eighteen children eight of whom are five years of age, or will be five before the middle of the school year, and the balance from three years up. In view of the necessity for economy rather than additional per capita expense. it was decided that the petition must be denied.
 In connection with this decision, it was stated that only two or three of the larger schools of the Territory have kindergartens at the present time, the attendance of children of that age being very uncertain, and that the kindergarten maintained in Wrangell for some years ago was supported by private subscriptions and tuition for the towns share of the expense.

 Mir Snyder was appointed deputy collector of customs at Wrangell by President Mckinley. A year later he was appointed U. S. Commissioner and served in that capacity until 1910. He was a capable newspaper man and public official and there still remain many of his oldtime Wrangell friends who mourn his passing.
 He is survived by four sons and two daughters.

 InterOeneS to SdUe
 GdSSIQr Miners

Details of an accident which hap pened on April 27 the crew of the Cassiar Hydraulic Mines Co. Ltd. were received here this week.
 A. H. Bryant, manager of the company, and his crew, supplies and equipment were being taken into Dease Lake by Art Leverett, driving a Hudson's bay ''cat" with wagons. Ice under the snow on the road at six mile hill caused the cat to skid and plunge down the 100-foot can yon. The cat turned over at least six times and Leverett sustained se- were bruises and seven broken ribs. That he escaped with his life seemed miraculous. MT. Bryant suffered leg and hip sprains and many bruises, and the rest of the men escaped with nothing more serious than bruises.
 The men made their way back to Telegraph Creek where Bryant and Leverett were givn medical care. The rest of the crew left with an- other eat" and wagon and ex- pected to be on the mining property last Thursday. MT. Bryant will go in little later.
