Advice to the
Lovelorn
Beatrice Fairfax.
YOU CAN DO NO MORE,
Deal Miss Fairfax:
My son. a Jew, is in love with a
Gentile. He has. loved her for five
years, and says unless 1 give my
consent to his marriage I will al
ways reg"el it. This 1 refuse to do.
DISTRESSED MOTHER.
Love is a thing beyond will or reason.
No doubt in the beginning he thought
as you think, but love swept every
argument away.
You have done all you can do. Trust
and hope for a happy outcome, for.
though stun marriages are not advis
able. t hey have been known to result in
happiness.
It is a good omen that they have been
true :<■> each other five long years. A
love like that is superior to any creed.
Don't. 1 beg of you, cast him off Go on
loving him, ami stand bv him. no mat
ter whom he marries.
HER LOVE HAS COOLED,
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been keeping company
with a girl for some months and
lately she has become very indif
ferent and treats me with coolness
every time I meet her.
I have asked her if 1 have said
or done anything to her—that I
would willingly apologize—but she
says I haven't, but still treats me
the same. f. K.
I am sorry for you, hut the girl no
longer loves you.
Stay away from her. If she doesn't
miss you and send for you. then I can
offer you no hope.
She says you have not offended iter,
don't make any more apologies. They
are an unnecessary humiliation.
IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been keeping company
with a young man about a tear,
and lately I have been In the hos
pital about four weeks, and while
In there he went with another girl,
and when this girl found out that
he was keeping company with me
she gave him up. Do you think he
loves me? j. f.
When a man loves a girl he doesn't
take advantage of her misfortune to
flirt with other girls. The other girl
was considerate to give him up. but I
hope you are w ise enough to refuse to
welcome him hack with outstretched
aims. He iias sinned. Make him do
penance to l - i»-

Never Risk Heahh and Clothes.
Afrs. Nexdomabor— “Good morning, Anty Drudge! Can
you lend me a cake of Fels-Naptha soap? When I came
to do the wash this morning, I found that I did not
have any in the house. The grocer told me he was
sold out. He offered to send me over some other kind,
but I think too much of my clothes and of my health
and hands to accept any substitute for Fels-Naptha. ”
Anty Drudge, You are perfectly right, my dear. Never
risk those just as good’ soaps. Wait here a min
ute, and I will get you a cake of Fels-Naptha.”
It’s all right to “bake like mother used
to bake.”
But don’t wash like mother used to
wash.
1 hat was the hard way. Mother, her
self, doesn T wash that way any more. She
has found a better way, the Fels-Naptha
way.
Instead of boiling the clothes and
wearily rubbing them on the board, you
place them in cool or lukewarm water, soap
with Fels-Naptha, roll tightly and allow
them to soak about half an hour; rub light
ly, blue and then rinse.
our hands don’t crack and get red;
your clothes are saved from the wear of
boiling and hard rubbing; your family is
not driven frantic with steaming, wash day
smell and you save about half your time.
Not only this; but Fels-Naptha does
the work better than it can be done by
the old, boiling, hot water method.
Follow the directions on the red and
green wrapper.
Use any time of the year.

there's a big factory chimney wants
pulling down about a mile away from
here, and 1 got the tip from the factory
foreman that if we could knock twenty
feet of it before the authorities were
about it would save the expense of a
scaffold, and it would mean a five-dol
lar note apiece for you and me."
"What-ho!” cried Jim. "Let’s go "
Their destination reached, they
climbed to the top of the chimney, and
soon masses of brickwork were falling
to earth.
A man who lived near was disturbed
by the noise, and started to make a
fuss.
"Here, Bob,” cried Jim, “you climb
down and quiet that fellow. Keep him
talking while I finish this job up here'
So Bob climbed down and engaged
the indignant person In conversation.
SuddAly Jim heard Bob calling to
him. and, looking down, saw the friend
gesticulating wildly and beckoning him
urgently to come down. So down Jim
came.
“What’s the matter?" he asked.
"Let's go home, Jim. thundering
quick; we’ve been pulling down the
wrong chimney!"
