Velva Syrup Is more than a mere
sweet. It’s a fine, wholesome, health
ful food. It's fust what growing
children need — and it’s good for
grown-ups, too. Earnest, careful
scientists have long ago exploded
the mossy idea that sweets are
harmful — and they tell you that
sweets are necessary. You’ll find
the syrup with the RED LABEL, fine. It
has the smoothest of sugary flavor and
rich color. It makes candies, fudge,
cakes and cookies that fust melt in one’s
mouth. It goes great with griddle cakes
and it will make your good muffins,
waffles and biscuits better. Try it and
see if this isn’t so. Ten cents and up,
according to size. Velva in the green
can, too, at your grocer’s. Send for the
book of Velva recipes. No charge.

Household Suggestions
Moths can be kept away from furs
or clothes by putting a piece of linen
damped In turpentine In drawers or
wardrobes. This should be renewed
once or twice during the year. Moths
'will never attack carpets and curtains
which have been well sprinkled with
salt.
A small box of brickdust with a
cork In It kept at the side of the sink
will be found most useful for taking
stains from knives, cups and all kinds
•of china and enamel ware. If at hand
at washing-up time It saves many an
lafter cleaning.
A good cleaning paste for enameled
baths, zinc pails, etc., is made of equal
parts of shaved yellow soap, whiting
and common soda, dissolved over the
fire in the least possible amount of
water required to keep It from burn
ing.
To hang pictures on a plastered
wall try dipping the nail into cold
v oter before driving it Into the wall,

done, and will Hold a heavy Weight
Without loosening.
Silencing the Philosopher.
Yes,” remarked the philosopher;
‘ deafness is indeed a terrible afflic
tion. Hut in such cases nature, you
know, always provides some compen
sation. At any rate, if a man is
deficient in one sense, he usually has
another SLbhormally developed. Now,
I dhee knew a poor blind fellow’ whose
sense of touch was positively tincan-
ny. Really, it served hifn almost as
well as eyes do a normal man.”
“Sure,” said the genial Irishman,
who hitherto had taken no part in
the discussion, ‘‘an’ I’ve noticed that,
too! There’s a friend of mine, he’s
lame, poor chap, but he can get about
almost as easily as you or I. True,
one of his legs is short, but the other
makes up for it by being three Inches
longer!”

Nell Brinkley Says-
T
'HEY call it “I LOVE YOU.” The Kings of Babylon and the slaves by
the river sang it with equal fervor. In faeryland they know it. Adam
brought it home to Eve and sang it tirelessly. On the plaintive “uku
lele” of soft-aired Hawaii they have played it sinefe the isles were born. Steel
and iron clad men of the rough days of chivalry caroled it to the maids they
met from the broad backs of their dray horses. Cleopatra whined it in her
honev-sweet voice to dull-witted Antony. In the backwoods of Tennessee they
know it. In the gray, melancholy uplands of wild Thibet rough-haired youths
whisper it to bead-strung slant eyed girls. In the hidden corner of the music
room, screened in spikes of fruit blossoms, a smart young chap hums it to a
girl who never twisted up her own hair in her life, and out in the country* in
an orchard, on the top rail of a gray old worm fence, a boy in a blue “jumper”
chants it to a girl in a pink sunbonnet shading her sun-browned checks. Oh,
its. a popular song—everybody knotvs it and everybody always did krtow it.

*'I guess we can find a way to have
the marriage annulled, or whatever they
do to marriages that don’t take.”
The brutal assurance of the man in
thus referring to things that were sacred
moved Dick to wrath.
“Don’t you interfere,” he said. His
words were spoken softly but tensely.
Nevertheless, Burke held to the topic,
but an indefinable change in his manner

rendered it less offensive to the young
man.
“Interfere! Huh!” he ejaculated, grin
ning broadly. “Why, that’s what I’m
paid to do. Listen to me, son. The
minute you begin mixing up with cfooks,
you ain’t in a position to give orders
to any one. The crooks have got no
rights in the eyes of the police. Jiist
remember that.”
He Was Not Listening.
The Inspector afioke the Simple truth
as he knew ft froth years of experience.
The theory of the law 16 that a presump
tion of innocence exists until the ac
cused Is proven guilty. But the police
are oiit of sympathy with Aiicli finical
methods. With them, the crook is pre
sumed guilty at the outset t>f whatever
may be charged against him. If need
be, there tflll be, proof a-plenty against
him—of the sort that the underworld
knows to its sorrow.
But Dick tfas not listening. His
thoughts were again wholly with the
woman he loved, who, as the Inspector
declared, had fled from him.
“Where’s she gone in Chicflgo?”
Burke answered in his usual gruff
fashion, but with a note of kindliness
that was not without its effect on Dick.
“I’m no mind reader,” he said. “But
she’s a swell little girl, all right. T’vO
got to hand It to her for that. So, she’ll
probably stop at the Blackstone—that is
until thfc Chicago polled Art* tipped off
that she is in town.”
of a sudden, the face of the young
man took on a totally different expres
sion. Where before had been anger, now
I was a vivid eagerness. He went close
to the Inspector, and Spoke with intense
se+iousness.
“Burke,” he said, pleadingly, “give
| me a chance. I'll leave for cfiicago in
| the morning. Give me twenty-four hours’
start before you begin hounding her.”
The Inspector regarded the speaker
searchingly. His heavy face was drawn
in an expression of apparent tioilbt. Ab-

ruptly, then, he smiled acquiescence.
“Seems reasonable,” he admitted.
But the father strode to his son.
“No, no, Dick,” he cried. “You shall
not go. You shall not go.”
Burke, however, shook his head in re
monstrance against Gilder’s plea. His
huge voice came booming, weightily im
pressive
“Why not?” he questioned. “It’s a
fair gamble. And, besides. I like the
boy’s nerve.”
Dick seized on the admission eagerly.
“And you’ll agree?” he cried.
“Yes, I’ll agree,” the Inspector an
swered.
“Thank you,” Dick said quietly.
But the father was not content. On
the contrary, he went toward the two
hurriedly, with a gesture of reproval.
“You shall not go, Dick,” he declared,
impetuously.
The Inspector shot a word of warning
to Gilder In an aside that Dick could
not hear.
“Keep Btili,” he replied. “It’s all
right."
Dick went on speaking with a seri
ousness suited to the magnitude of his
interests.
“You give me your word, Inspector,"
he said, “that yon won’t notify the po
lice in Chicago until I’ve been there
twenty-four hours?”
“I Don’t Like It.”
“You're on,” Bufke replied genially.
“They Won’t get a whisper out of me
until the time is up.” He swung About
to face the fathef, and there was a com
plete change in his manner. “Now, then.

Dick caught th4 Suggestion, and In
terrupted quickly.
“Then I'll go." He smiled rather
wanly at his father. “You know, Dad,
I’m sorry, but I’ve got to do what I
think is the rf&ht thing.'
Burke helped to save the situation
from the growing tenseness.
“Sure,’’ he cried heartily; “sure you
have! That'S the best Ahy of Us can
do.” He watched keenly as the young
man went out of the room. It was not

"Certainly.’’ Gilder answered. "But I

Burke slapped hid leg with an enthu
siasm that might have brokefi a weaker
member.
“Best thing that coukl have hap

Gilder regarded him in astonishment, he
added, chuckling: “You see, he won’t

“\Vhy do you think that?” Gilder de

Bufke permitted himself the luxury of
laughing appreciatively a moment more
before making his explanation. Then he
said quietly:

“W
HAT I would like to ask,”
writes Rebecca, "is why it
is better for a girl to asso
ciate with a bashful boy. On several
occasions I have noticed that you
state that a gh'1 should honor such a
young man, but you have never stated
why.”
The qualities in a bashful boy which
make film A welcome suitor are more
of a negative, nature than of a posi
tive. It Is not that which he does, so
much as that which he does not do.
His sins Are of omission and they are
small compared with the sins of com
mission of his bolder brother.
The bashful boy doesn’t flirt. With
a tongue that halts and stammers,
and a tell-tale color that is quicker
than the blush of a young girl to
proclaim his dishonesty did he attempt
to be dishonest, he is not an adept at
hypocrisy or concealment.
He Is not a dandy. Neither is he a
lady’s man, and. my dear Rebecca, the
presidents of banks and railroads, the
powers In commercial life, the most
profound thinkers and the men of
letters the world honors, were never
ladles' hien.
His Hands.
He does not know what to do
with his hands when out in society,
but his emfiloyer will tell you he knows
good use for them when at work.
Afraid of girls he is forced to seek
comfianlofifthip ih books ahd boys.
Tfife fear of girls gives him a respect for
them Vhich is wholesome; the com
panionship of boys gives him the out
door exercise every young man needs.
He needs this tiring of every muscle,
hot alone for the results that are phys
ical, but for moral returns. You are
not too young, my dear, to know that
the wolf that has been racing furiously
up and down hill all day feels at night
only the cry of tired limbs and aching
muscles begging for rest. He is not
the wolf that goes seeking an opening
to break into the sheepfold!
If a bashful boy loves a girl It IS
with a sense of humility and his own
unworthiness. He knows that he is the
one who wifi be honored if his love is
returned; his bolder brother has a faint
su«p1cion, which the homage of silly
girls confirms, that it is the girl who
should be on her knees.
A Safe Way.
During his calf days he does all his
signing for love’s sake at a distance,
which mothers will agree is the only
safe and sahe way for young girls to
bo loved.
He Is always a good listener—no
woman was ever borfed to death by the
talking of a bashful man.
Saying little, he says little for which
he or others have cause for regret. He
Is a safe depository for secrets, a good
man in ^hom to have confidence. If
he is not a girl’s lover the next best
thing that could happen her would be to
have him for a brother or a friend.
His compliments are not practiced,
and are therefore sincere. When it
takes effort and stupendous courage
to hand a modest little flower to a girl,
it follows that he will never throw bou
quets at the head of every woman he
meets.
Best of all, Rebecca, the bashful boy
is a home boy. He Is unafraid when
with his mother and finds in her com
panionship the delight less bashful boys
seek from home.
He Js “a good boy” In the sweet old-
fashioned sense, a boy who has escaped
contamination a few years later than
It comes t6 boys more bold.

HARK wtui two ladles up to the
house last nlte. Both of them
has daughters wich Is jest go
ing to git married * that malks
them feel kind of love sick them-
splfs, I guess, beekaus that Is all that
thay did all the time thay was to the
house, talk about love. Pa dldent
like It a bit, beekaus both of the
ladles was oalder than he Is, & I
have offen herd Pa say that wlmmen
shud talk about other topicks than
love wen thay git mlddel aged,
topicks like church work or how
much life Insurance thare husbands
Is going to leave them when thay die.
One of the ladles was nalmed
Missus Raymond * the other was
Mlssua Belcher. Missus Raymond sed
to Pa:
‘‘Don’t Cry,” Said Ma.
I was jest telling your wife beefoar
you calm In the room how sweet A
Innocent A gurllsh my ltttel daughter
looked to-day wen she was looking
oaver sum pritty material for her
trousseo. The deer littel cherup
seemed so charming and confused
and bewll-derlngly pretty that I al
most envied the man that Is going
to talk her away from me, sed Missus
Raymond. Then she beegan to cry.
I doant think I wud cry If I was
you, deerest, Ma sed to her. Do calm
yurself A talk eumfurt In thinking
about the pritty hoam that her hus
band ts going to malk for her.
Maybe you will be thare a grate deel
of the time. Won’t that be nice &
cupifurtable? M,a sed to her.
It will be pretty tuff corrn beef for
hir husband, sed Pa, the yung lady's
husband, I meen. Wife, sed Pa, I
suppoas you reemember the time yure
loving mother calm here all the way
from Wisconsin A started rite in
trying to be the managing editor of
our littel hoam Of course, you ree-
‘member it, sed Pa. Will you ewer
ferglt, sed Pa, the look of pained
surprise that calm Into her eyes wen
I explained to her, as gently as I
cud, that she dldent have anything
In the world to say about tbs man
agement of my domestlck affairs? If
my memory dosent fall me, Pa sed,
A I do not think It does, she stayed
only three days Insted of all summer.
You acted like a perfect cave man
all the time she was here, I remem
ber that, sed Ma. No wonder my poor
mother seldum menshuns you In hef
letters.
But as I was saying about nyr
daughter and Missus Raymond. I oud-
dent help thinking as I sat there St
saw Iter, a dainty bud with youth’s
fresh blcom on her cheeks, that no
man In this wurld was good enuff to
be the husband of so divine a cree-
chur. Of course the man she Is go
ing to marry Is a splendid yung man
A Is the vice president of a Mg bank.
But eeven If he were the president
of the united Rtalts, sed Missus Ray
mond, he wuddent be good enuff for
my daughter. No man Is good enuff
for a woman.
Looks for Gray Hairs.
They are good enuff for a woman
around pay day, sed Pa. I have al
ways notlsed that when It gtts neer
the first of the month my wife heeglns
looking In my head for gray hairs &
calling me her deer o.d boy. * the
morning of pay day, Pa sed, she al
ways follows me to the door and
kisses me aggenn and aggenn, with
the luv llte shining In her eyes, *
says Be sure A come rite hoam after
you gtt yure pay to-day, won't you,
darling.
I newer do any such thing ,ssd Ma,
A I agree with Missus Raymond that
her daughter or a -.y swaet, good gurl
Is too good for a man.
Oh. my daugh'er, sed Missus Ray
mond, can't let her go, I Jest can’t.
A my daughter, too. sed Missus Bel
cher, It seems as If sum monster of
the sea was coming ncerer A r.eerer
to drag my daughter from her moth
er's arms. Thee they both beegan
to cry A Pa sneeked out of the room
A went In the library ware the side
board Is.
