forget your old boy friend.
eafness- o.. iy6gpjdh
VI. WIS my husband still sick!
Ans: Your husband appears to
still be sick, but his condition
isn't as serious as it has been IN
the last month 49,. He will get in
touch with you when he comes
back to that city, so don't worry
about him.
II. LII quit my job. VIII l get
another one?
Ans: Jobs won't be as easy for
you to get in the future as they
have been, and it's going to be
hard for you to get references.
When you secure job, you should
stick to it until you at least have
a good reason to leave. 1t seems
that you'll contact a job in Octo-
Der but it won't pay much.
G. IT, want TO know what my
boy friend is planning TO do?
Ans: Your boy friend is plan
inng TO visit his mother within the
next thirty days and his visit will
be a longer one than he expects.
When he returns you'll realize that
you don't care for him as serious
ly as 20 think you do now.
ii. W.-Will the man l am eX-
pecting TO marry get his divorce
by September!
Ans The man you are expecting
to marry will secure his divorce at
the next term of court. -. This
man is going to be mighty sure of
himself before he gets married
again, so don't be disappointed if
he postpones the wedding more
than one time.
H. M.-My family objects to II
girl l go with. What would y0u
advise me to do!
Ans: Your family has no real
cause to object to your friendship
with this certain girl. Under these
circumstances, l think it advis-
able for you to continue to go with
her, for it is my opinion that you'll
soon get tired of that type person.
L. Would l he successful
with my plansG
Ans: You can make success il
, you carry out your plans, however,
it is my opinion that you would re-
greet it many times if you were to
| sell out and go home within the
11;cxc Few months. IT Is perfectly all
right for you to visit your home,
but you can do far better in bust
ness in your present location.
M. l.. H.-Am l right in what l
think about my husbands mother
Ans: You are quite right. Your
/ husbands mother doesn't care for
you very much. She wants all the
money your husband makes from
selling beer, and she resents him
giving you a dime.

''HoW to OUercome''

One is apt to shring half ones
former size. 1t is the beginning OF
failure. Perhaps you may have
heard the story of the two rats
which fell into the pail Of milk. In
the effort to survive both rats pad
died almost all night until one got
weary and discouraged, so he
ceased padding and sank to the
bottom-dead Of course. The 9TH
err kept padding though weary,
but not discouraged. In the morn
ing at early dawn this perserver-
ing rat was standing on a noun
tain of butter supported by his
dead companion who died during
the night. Through perseverance
this rat had churned butter which
saved him and helped him to over
come.
The qualities which men need TO
overcome in order to succeed are;
Confidence. Perseverance, ana
Certainty. With these, men can
swell the ranks of those who have
overcome.

Judge D. J. Healy
Has Fine Record
Re Elect II i m

1t is agreeably surprising TO SIT
and listen to this Judge. Although
only on the bench since 1882, he
does not bear the semblance OF a
newcomer in this truly humanita-
rian field of service offered by the
Juvenile Division of the Probate
Court over which he presides, but
rather bears evidence of exhaust
i've study and intense interest in
the unfortunate tendencies of many
children. and the correction there
of.
Judge Healy was placed in charge
Of the Juvenile Court because he
likes children and dealing with
them is no new experience with
him. A quarter Of a century ago
he was active in organizing a scout
troop and boys club and was &C
tive as a member of the social com
mi'tee o. the st. Vincent De Paul
Society whose principal function
was to visit and give aid to the
poor.
Judge d. J. Healy, since his ell
ovation to the bench Of the Pro-
bate Court, in charge of the Juve'
nile Division, has proven his worth
mess by competence, honesty, gen.
uine sincerity and a full under
stading Of his mission to admins
ter the affairs of his court in a
sympathetic, kindly and fatherly
manner.
Judge d. j. Healy is real de-
serving public official, he has kept
ever in mind his duty toward the
public, he is continuously guided
by spirit of fairness and impair
TALLY and has given the citizens
of Wayne County a clean, homes
and constructive administration O
the affairs OF his office
He has earned the right by his
excellent record to ask for your
support in the coming election.
This space is donated by friends
of Judge Healy.

From the war Bulletins of San
Sebastian, Spain it is announced
that the rebel planes have bonn
barded the residential districts and
thrown the city into terror Ac-
cording to the Detroit Free Press,
Aug. 20, the purpose of the bonn
bardment was to weaken the NOR
ale of the city. These words do not
only tell the doleful story of ter
rified city, but the sacrifice OF hui
man lives. Fear sharpens the imag-
ination and when the first paraly-
sis of terror passes people are us
ually stricken with fear. In this
present age when people are SEEM
ingly adhering to the law of ma
tural selection" or the survival Of
the fittest" it is amazing how some
men overcome.
Discouragement has been one Of
the chief factors which has hinder
ed human progress all down the
extended line of time. 1t is one Of
the elements of moral weakness.
To be easily discouraged is to be
easily weakened, and to be easily
weakened is to be easily extingu-
ished.
Perseverance is not only de-
sirable acquisition, but indicates
moral strength. When,-

Many people attended st. James
last Sunday and listened to the
scholarly sermon delivered by the
pastor, Rev McLin, subject, BE
yond Science which was the fifth
in a special series of sermons. The
speaker said: All our faith and
hope rests on the assumption that
there is something beyond science.
Whatever that something is it con-
trolls and directs the universe. 1t
is something far beyond the intel
ligence of man. To-day, most
scientists discuss the mind, the
the spirit, and things of that kind
They are coming to understand
there is something beyond science
They use cosmic rays to find atoms,
and in so doing find living things.
Paul found out centuries ago
that all things move and live in
the medium of spirit. Scientists
found out only in 1885.
"I believe the manufacture Of
cosmic rays is a divine process
carried on somewhere beyond the
sun. That Is where the Christians
God is-beyond the sun, the moon,
and the stars"
