I.! 1 3
Dear Mrg. Thompson I used to go with a young man who was drafted. He seemed to love me for a while and he took me everywhere and then all of a sudden he dropped me for another girl and did not give me any
explanation. I was broken-hearted, because h e was a fine young man and very good looking. I did not see him for almost a year before he went to camp. Recently I got a l-2tiT from him and he didn't say anything about stopping his friendship with me. He just talked as If we had always been friends and asked me to write to him. I have been going with another
young soldier and have corresponded i
with him regularly. I do not love the first boy any longer. What would you advise me to do? Should I write to both of the boys? DOUBTFUL. If I were in your place I think I would ignore the letter from the boy who dropped you. You are enjoying your friendship with the other boy now and will not be made much happier by a correspondence with the two boys. It may serve your first friend right to learn that he cannot drop you and take you back just when the spirit moves him regardless of the way you feel. Dear Mrs. Thompson Is there any way of making a hair switch more lively-looking? Mine Is very deadlooking. MRS. T. If you took your switch to a reliable beauty parlor something probably could be done to improve its appearance. I do not know the condition of your switch and so I cannot advise
you. But a hair specialist seeing the switch itself, could give you definite information.
Dear Mrs. Thompson I accepted a bad fifty-cent piece. It is silver but it has been bent and cut. I have not been able to pass it and so I am out the money. Is there anything I can do about this? LAURA. Take the fifty-cent piece to a bank. They 11 give you as much money as the piece is worth as old silver. You will probably get from thirty-five to forty cents for it. Dear Mrs. Thompson I am a stranger in town and went to church in order to get acquainted with some boys and girls my age. I went to the last social and nobody paid any attention to me. I am very lonely. What shall I do? LONESOME. Tell the minister of the church what you have told me and I am sure that he will see that you become better acquainted with the young people.
War Holds Up Building Hagerstown Library HAGERiSTOWN, March S. James M. Knapp, president of the Hagerstown library board, has received notice from the Carnegie corporation of New York that the application of the board for a library appropriation will not be favorably considered as long as the war lasts. "The trustees of Carnegie corporation have decided," the letter states, "that :io new applications for the erection of library buildings will be considered while the war lasts, inasmuch as money spent on erecting public buildings or private dwellings, which are not strictly necessary or do not contribute to the efficiency of the country in the prosecution of the war, reduces by the amount of such expenditure, the resources of the country in money, in material and in skilled labor, besides tending to enhance the cost of the latter."
Dear Mrs. Thompson I had an argument with a young lady. I had known her about two months and she asked me why I never called her by her first name because all the other boys do. I told her that It was not proper for a young man to call a young lady by her first name short of a six months acquaintance and then only if she requested it. She said that I am mistaken, that very often young men call young ladies by their first names the very first evening they are together. Which of us is right in the matter? ERNEST. Your idea is more proper. The girl is extreme in her views. Sometimes a boy does call a girl by her given name the first evening they are together, but he should not. He should wait at least a few weeks. A great deal depends upon the ages of the young people. If they are in their teens I think it is all right for them to use first names at once if they
want to.
Levi Druley is Buried at Boston, Ind. Brief funeral services for Levi Druley, who died Wednesday, were conducted at his home two and one-half miles southeast of Richmond Friday at 12:30. Funeral services wore held at the Universalist church at Boston, Ind., at 2 o'clock.
hat, sank into a chair, catching up the cat, and holding her tightly against my cheek. I had curiously mingled feelings of remorse, tenderness and a yearning for the comforting companionship of anything living, even a cat, as I did this. All my life I had disliked cats heartily. The first quarrel of our married life had been caused by Dicky's bringing this Angora home to me. . How unreasonable Dicky bad been then, and what tenderness he- had shown when he came back to make up that quarrel. That was usually the history of our quarrels: Dicky furiously angry, then remorseful and tender. I wondered dully how long it would be before he would return to his sunny lightheartedness in this particular disagreement of ours. He had been angry when he left for Lillian Gale's dinner without me, angry because I was going to dine with my cousin. Jack Bickett, whom I had not seen for a year. The Telephone "Rings I shivered as I remembered the gamut of emotions I had run since my husband walked cut of the door facing me. I had dined with Jack, the cousin who was the only brother I had ever
known. Feeling that I had wronged his brotherly kindness by not delaying my marriage until he had come back from the wilderness I had delayed telling him of my marriage until our reunion dinner should be over. Because of this delay I had found out that Jack had loved me for years. As if this astonishing fact were not enough to upset me, I had lost my wedding and engagement rings which I had foolishly taken off before the dinner, that Jack might not guess my marriage until I was ready to tell him. That I had speedily found them
again did not lessen the shock I had received when I thought they were lost. My nerves were still quivering from the fright I had bad. I shrank from the ordeal that was still before me. When he left me. Jack had told me that as soon as I had composed myself I must telephone Dicky and join him at the Underwoods home. He also said that at the first opportunity I must tell Dicky every
thing that bad passed. I knew his advice was sound, but every quivering nerve In my body protested against doing anything 6ave hiding in my darkened bedroom. - - The japgle of the telephone bell struck my nerves as a whip might have done, i Who could be calling me? I went to the telephone and shuddered as Harry Underwood's voice came to my ears.

"LIKE MOTHER USED TO MAKE" America is a good cook, but an extravagant one. She is apt to throw away perfectly good food, she is apt to make a good loaf of bread or lemon pie on one Thursday and a poor one on the next Thursday. When the pie or bread is good she boasts that she never measures anything, when it is bad she boasts not, neither does she apologize; she accepts it as one accepts a rainy day philosophically. But America should this day change her habits, boast lss and measure more, and make nothing but good bread and good pie. A good cook is what is know n in the artistic and literary world as a good
craftsman. And a good craftsman in i any art moans an intelligent, worker; who accomplished his aim most exact-1 ly with the least effort. An artist: must know his proportions before he i fan correct and so, too, our bouse-1 keeper must know exactly what she is I doing, else on one Thursday she may make a good lemon pie and on the i next a poor lemon pie. If you want to make potato bread rolls "like mother used to make," don't just put in some potato, some i flour, a piece of thi and that, but j
make them like mother used to make t hem. Potato Bread Bolls. The following proportions will yield one dozen small rolls: 8 ounces (about 3-4 cup) mashed potatoes. 1 1-2 cups of sifted flour. 13 cake of compressed yeast. 2 tablespoons of fat. .".-4 level teaspoonful of salt. 2 tablespoonfula of lukewarm water. 2 tablespoonfuls of lugar. Roil, peel, and mash the potatoes. Add the salt, the yeast rubbed smooth
and mixed with the water, and lastly, two tablespoonfuls of flour. Let this mixture stand at a temperature of about 86 degrees F., until a touch will cause it to fall. Add to this sponge the fat. the sugar, and the remainder of the flour, and, if necessary, enough more flour to make a very stiff dough. Knead thoroughly until a smooth dough, which is no longer sticky, has been formed. Set back to rise again, and when the dough has trebled in volume, knead lightly, form into small balls, and place, not too close together. In greased pans. Allow to rise until double in volume, and bake 2ft minutes in a moderately hot over (about 400 degrees F.)

' there is a bottle of the splendid and I time-honored remedy, Mother s Friend, i that has aided many a woman through I the trying ordeal, saved her from suffering and pain, kept her in health of
mind and body in advance of baby's coming, and had a most wonderful influence in developing a healthy, lovely disposition in the child. Mother's Friend relieves the pain
and discomfort caused by the strain on
the ligaments, makes pliable those fibers and muscles which nature is expanding, and soothes the inflammation of breast glands and other soreness. The tendency to nervousness and to morning sickness or nausea is counteracted. By regular use during the period the muscles expand with ease when baby is born, tension is reduced and the pain and danger at the crisis is nat-
urally less.
Mother's Friend is an external remedy, is absolutely safe and wonderfully effective. It not only allays distress in advance but assures a speedy recovery for the mother. This splendid preparation may be

Rod Cross Ball Blue A hundred years ago, the magic, dazzling whiteness it gives to the coarsest as well as most delicate fabrics would have caused its user to be hailed as a witch. To-day she is the envy of her neighbors, at much lesa labor to herself. Makes clothes beautiful. Buy it try it and you'll stick to it. At all good grocers 5 Cents Almost Free!
To soften, smoothen, and whiten the face, neck, arms, and particularly the hands when chafed, red or rough there is nothing better than lemon juice, but pure lemon juice is too highly acid and often irritating. A splendid lotion is prepared in a moment by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white. Be sure to strain the lemon juice through a cloth so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this creamy
lotion will stay sweetly fragrant and fresh for months. Any grocer will supply the lemons and your druggist or any toilet counter will sell you three ounces . of orchard white for a fewcents. This is by all means the best lotion you could use. Massage it daily into the face, neck, arms, and hands and see for yourself. It removes tan, freckles, sallowness and blemishes, and every girl knows that lemons are used to bleach and whiten the skin. Adv.

America must divide!
Our associates in the war are actually bread hungry and must be supplied with wheat from this country. We can't feed our soldiers in France unless we make a much greater saving here. Mere economy in the use of wheat is
not enough. The hour has come for sacrifice. We must divide.
Don't be satisfied with two wheatless days a week, also have one wheatless meal every day.
