A. W.: Mr.. Able, is it true that
the telegram that came for my
husband was from the one he
claimed it was from? Am l &C
cusing him wrong?
Ans: Indeed you are. Clear your
mind of all this mess immediately
for you are working yourself up
over nothing. The telegram ex-
planned itself if there had
been any funny business, you could
have detected it when you read the
message.
C. c.: Is it advisable for me to
buy this property that l have in
mind and what do you think, kind
Sir, about the price?
Ans: / am sure the price is
much too high hold out for at
least sixty days and the owner will
come down considerably. The prop
erty is valuable for one in your
type business therefore / urge
you to keep dallying with him.
NJ. F. G.: What does my sorry
husband do with his money? He
sure doesn't spend a dime of it
here at home.
Ans: He throws it away on good
times, gals, and drinks. The ma
jority of his time away from work
is spent in beer gardens. Lay the
law down to this gentleman right
now and insist that he get over his
''boyish tricks" and begin folding
''three-eOrnered pants" for this
new baby. Now that you are up and
beginning to get back to normal
again he won't be as easily
tempted.
R. G.: Will l ever reap any bene-
fit from my mothers property? /
am very anxious to have this an
swer as soon as possible for 1 am
depending on it so terribly much.
Ans: It's not my wish to dis
appoint you but l am afraid
that will have to be frank {.
you will not get anything from this
estate. Make arrangements to work
for the money that you are seek

she rather liked the idea.
S. W.: Please Sir, give me an
answer right away. My only child
keeps sick, but not enough to stop

natural or not?
Ans: She needs to 60 to a good
medical doctor and receive treat

hurt her in any way. 1t seems to
me that she has been working con-
tinuOusly with no rest and she
really does need a vacation. See
