A girl fifteen is not old enough
to know her own mind nor whom she
wants to marry. Not only that. but
YOU are too Young to marry anyone,
the boy YOU think you love or the boy

put your mind on going to school and
having a good time with all the girls
and boys for a few years yet, until
you are old enough to consider mar
riage seriously. ! cannot understand
your father wishing you to think of
such thing vet. You have not even

important.
Has your father the slightest foun-
dation for any of the remarks he
makes? If not, he should be taken to
task by your mother or someone
whose opinion he values for anything
so unbecoming father.
Yes, love often does find way,
but it is real love, not make-believe
or immature love. If you and this
boy really care for each other, the
feeling will last until you are through
school and old enough to marry.

every girl taken to the school is
found, on examination, to be afflict-

with now and then a new type APP

Interesting Program
The girls represent all classes OF
the Afro-Americsn family: upper,
lower, middle, and what-not; but all
come for virtually the same reason.
The school has playground equip
ment, tennis courts, swimming pool,
baseball diamond, large farm where
the girls do all the work except plow-
ing. In the kitchen the girls are the
cooks; they have an 8 O'Clock cur
few; vespers, Sunday school, pro-
grams in winter; write letters home
twice each month, on the LIST and the
18th. These letters are censored,
both incoming and outgoing.
Supper on the lawns in summer,
alternate courtesy visits to the cot
age.
Solitary" in nice little room is
the most harsh method of discipline
found there; and it is rarely used.
The food represents good grade and
there is plenty of it, even though q
ration allotment is the rule.
Appropriations Inadequate
However, despite all these things,
the appropriations from the state are
inadequate to fully cover the needs
of the institution. S28,710 was the

Beauty Advice
For the Oily Skin

Where there is an excess of oili-
ness the skin had better be viewed
as a rich field for other facial blem-
ishes besides the oiliness. Blackheads,
pimples, exaggerated acne cases. en-
larged pores are among the beauty
ills that threaten.
The relation of a good. wholesome
diet to a clear, unblemished skin is
now preached from every health and
beauty pulpit. Ignorance on this
score or failure to put into practice
the diet precepts recommended is
treated with Impotence.
Some functional disorder. it is
true, may exaggerate the oiliness of
the skin. But more frequently than
not the excess oil can be modified to
a perfectly normal greasing of the
skin by a change from overconsump-
ton of fat, rich, greasy foods to a
balanced diet well sprinkled with
vegetables, fruits and the foods that
incite digestion and bowels to health
Ter action.
In almost every case of extreme
oiliness, in blackhead and acne condi-
tions, well known skin specialist
tells me that constipation is present,
due largely to the lack of fruits and
vegetables in the diet, to too little
water intake and to an excess of
sweet, starchy and richly seasoned
foods.
Adopt Fat-Free Diets
SO the first step in reducing the
irregular oil outpouring from the tiny
pores is to reduce fats, starches and
sugars in the diet to the least pos
sible intake for health upkeep and
substitute fruit and vegetable sal
ads, cooked fresh vegetables and fruit
desserts. This does not mean that
one must give up all her favorite
dishes-only that she must eat spar
ingly of them.
For a month or six weeks, however,
it would be well to adopt a compare
lively fat-free diet. If one is in good
health and feeling strong she could
and most satisfactorily for her COM
plexion = subsist almost exclusively
on fruits and vegetables, between
times drinking water copiously, and
| thus give her complexion fair start.
The whole thing is to correct faulty
bowel action. Take mineral oil. 1t is
not habit forming and in emulsified
forms it is not unpleasant to take. Or
take one of the mineral oil-agar mix
| lures, or agar-agar, or psyllium seed
Take something that is BEAUTIFULLY
laxative. Or take enemas. Remember
| that evacuation is appreciably aided
by drinking literally of water. Con.
stipation often originates though the
abnormal dryness of the food residue
Take at least your six full glasses Q
day.
Soap and Water Cleansings
For local care the oily skinned one
must rely on soap and water for face
cleansings. 1t is the only way by
which the greasy content of the pore:
can be properly disposed of before il
has a chance to solidify, become spot
ted on top and develop into black
heads.

she instructed her attorneys to file for
a divorce here. also charging cruelty.
With Nevada divorce laws not re-
curing details of charges on which
divorces are sought, particulars OF
Dempsey's petition were not available
In Miss Taylors complaint. drawn up
last night and signed by her, she made
general charges of cruelty and referred
to the expensive automobile which she
recently said was taken from her
chauffeur by Joe Dempsey, brother OF
Jack, who gave her the car as
present.

him was what caused me to ask so
little. He is always saying he is broke,
and I wanted to be as easy as possible

Says Jack Blew Up.
Il asked only 40,000, not a penny
more. Out CT that amount l hoped
to take care of $12,500 mortgage on
my home, to complete payments on
my automobile and to pay attorney
fees. The few thousand dollars that
would be left would keep up the house
for q year or less, until / could sell 1t.
Jack agreed to that, but when my
attorney, Joseph Scott, insisted that
Jack guarantee his promise to pay
the monthly instalmenIs by putting
up its equivalent in collateral, a trust
