ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax
Fears He's Too Poor

Fears He's Too Poor
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 met a very charming girl
recently and I am in love with
her. I have to go to school
and my financial circumstances
are very bad. That Is the rea-
son why 1 don't ask her to be
my girl. If you think my reason
is insufficient, what would you
say to explain the situation and
to show my love for her?
Do you think it is proper to
correspond with friends and
young ladies on this color
paper? C. H.
All over the United States
there are hundreds and thou
sands of boys in the same
plight-if it is a plight-as
you're in today. They're getting
an education and have little or
nothing to spend on girls. Well,
what of it, unless the girls are
gold diggers? Make a joke Of
it, say you'd like to go places,
but you can't play the prince.
Any sensible girl will under
stand; if she doesn't, she's not
worth signing over. One of my
friends was a classmate of Wood
row Wilson in Princeton Univer-
Sity, and the future Presidents
loose change was negligible. He
used to sit up all night reading
to avoid paying the trifling fines
at the libraray for keeping the
books over the stipulated bor-
rowing time.
Some boys living on the mar
rowest margins today will be
holding down the big jobs to-
morrow. Think how lucky you
are to have this chance of get
ting an education. Pass up the
gold diggers for girls of better
quality.
No. I don't like your green
paper-white, cream or gray
would be better form.

Babies GAIN when guarded
from Constipationl

BABY isn't gaining his six or
eight ounces a week? Constipation
may be the reason. 1t is behind
most of a baby's troubles. Collie.
Fretfulness. Gas. 1t keeps Baby
from accepting or retaining the
proper amount Of food.
DR.. CaldwelPS Syrup Pepsin is
good for any baby: tits q prescription
for the bODel: written by a famous
doctor-one who attended over $500
births without loss of one mother
or baby-a record believed unique
in American medical history.
Half q teaspoonful Of this simple
prescription often relieves Occa-
sional troubles like that in a few
hours. If Baby is bottle-fed or for
any other reason is regularly con-
stipated. give half a teaspoonful
daily until the little fellow is
happy; gaining as he should.

Rarick, and took out his check
book.
They sat there. knee to knee,
in their straight chairs, their
faces seeming to swim together

DIET AND HEALTH
BY DR.. Logan Clendining-

Last year I descanted on
broccoli, a vegetable which
made its appearance on Amer
ican tables only within the last
few years. The article met
with a wide response. A distin-
guished lawyer in New York
wrote me that he had harbored
a prejudice against broccoli un-
til my words convinced him he
should give it a try; he is now
a broccoli addict.
Feeling that one of the great
benefactionS that can be be-
slowed on mankind is a new
vegetable, I take occasion to
continue my work by recon-
mending another. just begin
ming to be known among cpl
cures. Like broccoli, it has
been eaten for many years in
Italy. The Italians call 1t
finocchi or finochio. Its Eng
lish name is fennel.
Resemble Celery
It is a plant two or four
feet in height, but only the
blanched shoots are used for
edible purposes. They are some
thing like celery in appearance,
the top being greed and the
business end more bulbous than
celery.
Fennel may be served at the
same part of the meal as celery.
The stalks are crisp and have a
distinctive flovar Of anlSe.
The cooking process is similar
to braised celery. The stalks are
parboiled, and then put into a
skillet with a rich soup stock
and a bay leaf, and cooked in
a very low oven, very slowly
for two or three hours, basting
it occasionally with the broth.
Take out the bay leaf and
drain off most Of the stock
to serve.
A Delicious Dish
Another delicious dish is
finocchi au gratin. Parboil
the stalks and put in, a baking
dish with cream sauce and
bake very slowly. Just before

Kings and Men

h1mgS anu wen
The King of Siam, who makes
his own laws and could prob
ably vote himself as many
wives as King Solomon, believes
in monogamy and wants only
one wife. There's a wise man!
He may have eye-trouble, but
he is not looking for woman
trouble!
Most men seem to think that
the only way to keep up the
glow of youth is by keeping
the heart in constant circula-
tion. But, alas, too much exer-
else Of the emotions always
leads to a varicose vein Of SEN
timent.
When a married mans eye
wanders, it is not often because
he is yearning for another wom-
an, as because he is pining
for a new audience; for some
body to whom he can give "ad-
vice." and to whom his old line
and old platitudes will sound
like brand-new pearls Of thought.
It is safer to judge a gentle
man" by his manners than by
his morals. Because his morals
are a matter Of age, inclination
and opportunity; but his man.
ners are a matter Of breeding.
Before a prize-fighter goes
into the ring he is put through
a rigorous course Of training;
but, judging from the way their
marriages turn out, most Of
them step nonchalantly into the
matrimonial ring all soft" and
susceptible and unsuSpecting.
Comehow, as long as a man
will admit" that he has de-
ceived her, a woman feels that
she can trust him.
A rainy weekend, spent in
hanging around a country house
together, is a greater test Of
love than time. Many a love
which is proof against almost
anything else is not weather
proof.
