P. M. Why trouble is that 1
am in love with man of 33 and 1
am Fl. fell in love with him all at
once. He first told me he loved me
but now it is all different. He acts
like he doesn't care for me any
more. Of course there is another
girl between US and she has been
talking about what she is going
this man, so please tell me what to
do. Shall I go on or try to forget
him as it seems like she has him
working her way. Do you think
he's trying to play me to see how
big fool l am? In fact, I didn't
know 1 was such a crank until I
felt doubtful about his love.
Ans: The quickest way in the
world to make him come to a de-
Gliding point is to give him a little
stiff competition. If possible flaunt
your new conquest in his presence
occasionally. Don't make the mis-
take of running after him although
you should not altogether ignore
him. If he has one spark of affec-
ton for you it will be aroused when
he sees you enjoying yourself with
other swain. Neither of you girls
is the winner until one of you leads
him to the altar.

Food Economy

To help homemakers in eliminat-
ing food waste, here are some point
ers in food handling. Serve second
helpings rather than too much at
first. so that waste will not have to
be put into the garbage pail; remem-
Der that certain minerals and vita
minis love to SWIM; save the green
tops of root vegetables; buy suffi-
cient food, but not so much that
it will spoil before it can be used:
and store food carefully to avoid its
Gpoiling.
Hardware Heart
Cows have a proclivity for swal-
lowing small metal objects which
they find lying around in farm lots.
Such objects as nails, pieces Of wire,
screws and staples work back
through the cows stomach and
pierce the heart, frequently causing
death. Veterinarians who have op-
Grated on cows so affected with
hardware heart" have reported
finding razor blades, rubber balls,
bolts, and a great miscellany of
similar objects which have been
swallowed by the animals over a
period of months.
