DEAR BOYS AND GIRLS: I hope
you read a little every day. OF
course I know you do. The funnies,
the sports sheets, the fashion adver-
tisements, the movie programs, but
what else? Oh, those series-Sam
on the River, Sam on the Lake
very good. What else? Just those?
Let us see.
If you were to eat nothing but
cake and candy day after day what
would happen to you? I agree with
YOU You'd be sick. Mighty sick.
The day would come when you
crawled under the blankets and hoped
the doctor would come quickly. And
ever after that you'd hate the sight
and smell of cake.
Your mind is the power that rules
your body. That body does nothing
until your mind makes 1t 60. The
quality of that mind controls the
quality of all that you do. Think
that over. A body that was fed on
confectionery wouldn't do any work
worth talking about. First because it
would not have the power and the
punch. Good food has to go into its
building for that sort Of work. Next,
the mind fed on confectionery ideas
cannot function well. Books furnish
host Of your ideas, and such cheap
books as I've indicated cannot feed
a mind so that 1t is bright and quick
and powerful. A mind has to have
good food.
don't mean that you cannot read
stories. You have to have good stories.
Good ones. Ones that have quality,
taste, form, imagination, standards
and ideals. If you get them you feed
your mind and you grow both ways,
inside and out. II you keep chewing
cheap stuff, you don't grow in any
direction. You just dry up. All you
can say is, "Oh. yeah?" you're
telling me?" Your mind hasn't been
nourished. It's dried up to this pitiful
state.
am begging you to feed your mind.
to nourish ideas in it. because you
are going to have to live with that
mind, and by it, all the days of your
life. During your youth you have
time and opportunity to cultivate it
by reading. It's your one chance. If
you let it 60 by you're through.
Many, many times the patient, AMI
ious, faithful librarian has handel

you a list Of good books Just TO make
certain, I will name some good ones
for you once more. They will start
you. If you haven't started. Try
Treasure Island" Tom Sawyer"
"Huckleberry Finn" David Copper
field" "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm"
and "Anne of Green Gables"
If you are Of college years read the
cid novels. You can't AFFORD to miss
Jane Austin, Thackeray, Trollope,
George Eliot and Dumas. Read the
great poets And that brings me to
the best books of all time, as far rs
know-the Bible and Shakespeare.
Read them. Study them. Know their
| finest passages well enough to recite
them. If you know these two well
you will have that quality Of mind
that endures, creates and triumphs.
The qualities that you are searching
for when you read books
A little nonsense now and then, a
bit Of trash on occasions, all we'll
and good. But for steady diet, for
one good reading meal a day, ask for
more nourishing rations and see that
you get them. Yours,

Dorothy Dix Says
Don't Marry Without Love, Especially
When You Already Love Another

deluded lovers always believe that they.
at least, will be happy in having those
they desire, but they never are, be-
cause they soon find out that they
have only the empty shells, the bodies
of their husbands or wives, and that
their spirits have escaped them.
And they think that because they
love they can make those they love.
love them, but this is impossible. Love
comes and goes as it will and no man
compels it. Many and many q man
and woman would give their very souls
to be able to respond to the wives and
husbands who love them, but they can
not quicken their heart beats, strive
as they may. So would earnestly ad-
wise you not TO marry one man while
loving another. The good man de-
serves a better fate than a wife who
merely tolerates him.
DOROTHY DIX.
*x
NEAR MISS DIX am 20 years
~ old and have been going with
boys for so many years that am
tired Of 1t all and want to settle down
and have a husband and home of
my own. have met o boy that I
like and who is in love with me and
he wants to start saving for an en-
gagement ring, but I want to get
married right away. He is only 1S.
Can boy so young be sure of him
self? Is it true that youth never
knows real true love that lasts? What
is your advice? MILDRED.
Answer: My advice is to wait. If
you rush a boy into marriage before
he is ready for it. you are certainly
heading for trouble. This boy, in the
first place, Is entirely too young TO
marry. All that he is capable Of at
18 is calf love, and if that lasts 1t is a
miracle and not anything that you
have a right to count on. His tastes
are uniformed. He is in the jelling
age himself, and he hasn't the slight
est idea of what he is going to be
when he grows up or what he will
want in a wife. The girl he likes
today he will not look at tomorrow,
so even if you could marry him on
a passing fancy Of adolescence, you
would be taking long chance on his
still being In love with you 10 years
hence.
4 ND. in the second place, the boy has
"A nothing to marry on. He hasn't
even the price of an engagement ring.
If you coerce him into marrying you
now, what do you propose to live on?
You will still have to eat and have
clothes and place to live in after
you are married. Are you going to
inflict a husband on your mother
and father to support, or are you going
to burden his parents with having to
feed and clothe you? For boys and
girls to marry and dump their hus-
bands and wives and subsequent
babies down on their parents Is Ger
tainly playing it pretty low down on
the old people.
So give up all thoughts Of being a
cradle Let this poor boy
alone. Let him grow up before he
takes upon himself the responsibilities
Of matrimony. And II you are 80
anxious to marry, pick out man in
stead of a boy for a husband.
