A Mistreated Girl - Please tell
me why does my sister seem to
care for the others more than she
does me?
Ans: She doesn't she is
wrapped up in her new girl friends
but she loves you better than any
one else in the world at heart.
Right now your sister likes the
girls that the boys like when
they start noticing you more =.
you will be classed as one of their
gang.
B. o. B.-I have heard that the
place where l stay there is a treas
ure and l can't locate it. Which
way must 1 start to get it?
Ans: Hunting treasures is the
quickest way in the world to get
totally broke spend your time
working as you won't find any
thing through this source. Pay no
attention whatever to the stories
you hear about treasures being
buried about your place if one
was there why doesn't the per-
son who told you this stuff get out
and hunt it for himself.
A. My wife and I had some
misunderstanding about our home
business and she moved away with
her father. Tell me if she will
move back as it is worrying me
and my mother real bad.
Ans: Go to your wife and talk
things over with her. She isn't go
ing to return unless you insist that
she come back. You hurt her feel
ings terribly and she feels that you
owe her an apology. False pride
doesn't mean a thing when it comes
to your own domestic happiness,
so buckle down and tell her how
much she means to you and l am
sure she will come home to you.
P. E. 81 would like to know if
1 would be successful in taking a
business course or would you rec
ommend the food course?
Ans: At this writing you do not
have the necessary education to
give either one any serious thought.
1 suggest that you finish your
school work and then decide the

CALCIUM
The Great Human
Need

People Of all ages need calcium
and few today get q sufficient
amount Of it for the greatest or
most abundant health.
The best and the cheapest source
Of calcium is in dairy products.
The lower the income for food,
the greater the need for more Of
dairy products is the regular every
day diet Of all Of US.
Fresh fluid pasteurized milk
daily in some form should be used,
either as a beverage or in cooked
food.

You could do all right in the bust
ness world but 1 would suggest
that you specialize in foods or
home economics.
W. L. M.-Do you think 1 should
give this man up l have and let
him get a wife for l am great
deal older than him? 1 want to
make him happy for love him.
Ans: This is a problem for you
two alone to decide. If he is salts
fed to continue on with you then
l see no reason for you to give him
up since you feel you are so madly
in love with him. There is always
possibility of his falling for a
younger woman, but if you continue
to make yourself attractive and
interesting, you may be able to
hold him.
G. N. CT have two lots and I
have been thinking of building
nice home on them. Is this the best
time for me to build or what do
you advise in my case. I have a
home, don't care to live in the
home myself, but thought of rent
ing it.
Ans: Don't build the expensive
home that you have in mind right
now for it just won't pay for rent
ing purposes. Although if you wish
to build a place to sell . that of
course is a different story. Build
ing material and etc. has gone sky
high right now and since it isn't
essential that you do anything
it might be well to hold to your
money and wait awhile before de-
Gliding on this problem.
E. A. O.-Why does this girl try
to make my husband notice her
when we are out together? Are
they seeing each other? Does she
notice him when / am not with
him?
Ans: The girl is trying desper-
ately to make you jealous and
doesn't seem to realize that she is
making herself ridiculous in the
eyes of other people. No if
she were going with your husband,
she would run at the sight of you.
Hold your husband show him
lots of love and affection don't
let anyone take him away.

 IMr. Roosevelt indicated that the social security system of old age pensions might be doubled by the addition of some 10000, 900 persons not now covered by the act. The Social Security board later esti- mated that only 30,000,000 probably would be affected-2,500,00 domes- tic servants, 4,500,00o farm laborers, 4,500,00o or 5,00o,000 "self-employ. cd" 100000 or 3,00o,0o0 part time or casual workers 3,000,0o0 or 4,000, 900 public employees, 3,000,0 900 or 100000 charitable workers or WPA employees, and 6!000,000 or 7- 100000 farm operators.
 Under present law, workers and employers now covered by the act pay a one per cent payroll tax on the workers salary up to $3,0oo The money goes into fund out of which federal old age pensions are paid to workers retiring at 65 at scales related to the amount Of taxes paid.

 Increase Revenue
 An increase of the tax to Q total of six per cent now would serve Q double purpose, advocates of the plan maintain. Tn addition to be- ing deterrent to imitation, 1t would increase federal revenue.
 While social security taxes are earmarked for 0 special fund, they are borrowed by the government. A greatly increased yield from the tax, therefore, would give the goy- ernment on additional reservoir from which to borrow,
 MT. Roosevelt also said the ob- jective Is to increase federal aid to the poorer states for the joint fed. eral-state needy pensions, Federal grants for state pensions to the needy now are on Q 50-50 matching basis. Social Security Chairman Arthur J. Altmeyer already has en- dorsed Q plan to vary this formula so that the federal contribution would range from 50 per cent In the state that has the greatest per capita wealth to Q larger percent age in states with lower per capita wealth,
