JLMRX. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am in treat trouble. I am a girl eighteen years old. While I am not engaged I am so near to it that I don't know where I stand. I have a friend who Is in the twenties. He goes with me

(that Is he did until lately). He said that he loved me and asked me to marjy him which I consented to, but L soon found he V went with another girl and that he had asked her to marry him too. As soon as I found

this out oft my ment I met

I broke engageanother

young man who appealed to me very much. He asked me to mar

ry him and I consented because I thought this was my last chance. As soon as he found out about my affair with the other man he broke off with roe. The first man came back and asked me to marry him, asking me to forgive him of the past I don't like him now and I told him so, but he threatened to expose me to a certain thing I wanted to be a secret. I am afraid. Will you kindly give me your valuable advice? A MUCH WORRIED GIRL. No matter what I had done I would not be forced into marrying a man 1 did not love. Don't be afraid because he says he is going to tell your secret. Of course he may. and if It is a secret that will reflect on you, you will have to live down what he says. Make your character so good that what he says will not be believed.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have an old mother who is now staying alone and has sent her $2.00 twice, but she since my father died four years ago. Now her son Is serving in the army. When at home he always gave her from 20 to 925 every two weeks, a little better than paying board, and he had my mother's promise that ne would get the house after her death. He has been in the army two months and has sent her $2,000 twice, but she cannot live on that little. She went to the Exemption Board and they told her that if my brother gave her $15.00 she could be satisfied. I would like to know the person who could live on $12.00 or $15.00 a month when everything is high priced. She couldn't pay for her fuel with that little he sends her. She has a house that is worth about $2500, but it needs repairing and he hasn't enough money to fix it. She is 6ixty-five years old and has rheumatism and is afraid she will be crippled. My brother has supported my folks for ten years. Mother feels that when he comes back he will stay with her and the house belongs to him. She feels that It is enough to give her son for our country without the burden falling heavier on her. She feels that the government ought to pay her $10 or $15 a month toward her support. Will building get cheaper after the

war? We have three, children and we would like to lave.-abome of our own. 'la " Your mother could probably rent a room or two and id that way earn money without much trouble.. The government has exempted men who have dependents and so I cannot see how your brother got into the war. I do not know your circumstances well enough to advise you. Talk to the head of your Exemption Board and have him advise you. It may be that the Board will think you yourself can take your mother and help her in her trouble. I realize that this would not be an easy matter for you

with three children to care for, but surely you can do something during

this dreadful time, and then when the war is over your mother will be cared for either by her son or a pension.

I would advise you to wait until after

the war before building because the price of material and labor is so Inflated that it is sure to drop some.

Revelations of a Wife

"TODAY I WAS FORTUNATE." "Today I was fortunate," Lil said, "Dicky brought me these." Never in my life have I seen anything so startling and yet so attractive as Lillian Gale's living room. I knew that she was a famous illustrator, so of course, I naturally expected to see evidence of artistic taste in her furnishings. But the reality exceeded my anticipation. I had only received a blurred impression of splashes of color as Mrs. Underwood hurried me through to her bedroom, and then out into the dining

room for the after-dinner coffee. But when we came out into the living room again, I stopped short and drew a long breath of admiration. "Rather hits you between the eyes, don't it Madge?" Dicky said. "That's the way it effects everybody." "It is wonderful, wonderful." I said, turning to Lillian. I did not pointedly ignore Dicky, but I did not answer his comment. He had been altogether too nonchalant and distant to suit me when I had come into the dining room. It would not hurt him to be left to himself for a little. No "Jarring Note" She flushed with pleasure. "I am so glad you like it," she said heartily. "You see I have the space to start with which is everything. That is the reason I took two floors of this big old house and had them remodeled, instead of renting one of these modern atrocities with gas grates instead of fire places." "The result certainly more than justifies your choice," I said. I was really lost in admiration of the room. It was an immense thing, evidently the reception room of the mansion in its old opulent days. , Every bit of it, ceiling, walls, woodwork, even the floor, was ivory white. All this whiteness appeared to lead up to and centre in the gleaming white marble of an old-fashioned fireplace.

But the genius of its mistress appeared in the draperies, the rugs and the accessories of the room. I could imagine that in the hands of a -woman less daring it would have seemed like a great white mausoleum. But it was a perfect riot of color. The costly rugs under our feet had red, the deep rich brown-red of autumn leaves as their keynote. From ihem the diapason of color crashed upward through ruby-tinted curtains at the windows, and scarlet draperies flung carelessly, yet with wonderful effectiveness, against the white walls, over the backs of couches and chairs, everywhere they were needed. "There Isn't a jarring note anywhere, I said impulsively, as I faced a large tapestry over the fireplace, with its olive tints shot with touches of red. "What a speech. Madge." frowned Dicky. "Did you imagine there would be a jarring with an artist like Lil on the job? Run along now."

All m genuine pleasure in me room waTgone. I felt that Dicky was disappointed in my appearance before his friends, that I had mortified him by the tactless little speech which I had uttered with real admiration. I made no reply to him. but Lillian took up the gauntlet with flashing eyes. "See here, my Dicky bird." she said scornfully, "who gava you permission to chirp, anyway? If you haven't anything better to do than to twitter such rot as that, we'll excuse you for a while. Run along now. Mrs. Graham likes my room, and I'm going to give her a chance to srive it the once over without Friend Husband watching to see if she turns just the right phrase to suit his majesty." Of course. I was grateful to Mrs. Underwood for this championing me, but inwardly I resented, as I had so often before, the proprietary air she assumed with Dicky, and the meek way in which he invariably obeyed her or took her scoldings. If I had spoken to him with the manner she had just used he would, have been furiously angry, but at her words he merely grinned, although a bit uneasily, I fancied, and walked away to join Harry Underwood at the other side of

1 the room.

"Don't you love the turnuure: sue asked, with such genuine enthusiasm for her own things that it didn't sound like self-praise at all. "I had to have it made to order to get the effect I wanted." "Perfect," I breathed, and meant the word. There were few pieces in the room, a high backed settle in the chimney corner, a roomy couch drawn up before the fire, a half dozen comfortable armchairs and rockers, and two tables, a big reading table and a

smaller one. Low bookcases occupied the wall spaces between the windows and a baby grand piano filled the space at the side of the room opposite the fireplace. Every piece was white, of the same ivory tint as the rest of the room. The big couch and the armchairs were upholstered in crimson, cushions in vivid hues adorned the settle, while across the tables were thrown scarves of soft crimson silk. Clear glass bowls and .vases of red roses were everywhere, on mantel, bookcases and the tables. "One of my follies," said Lillian, as she stooped and caressed a blossom on the table by which she was standing. "All my friends know my weakness and are often good enough to gratify it. When thy don't, I buy them myself. Today I was fortunate. Dicky brought me these. Wasn't it sweet of him?"

grandmother if his support were removed. An investigation proved she had been dead twenty years, and In the opinion of the board members, It was the first time the objector had thought of it. He was arrested and is still in jail. , Only a few Texans now ask exemption on conscientious grounds. Training camp customs are becoming familiar to persons in all parts of the state and the "conscientious objector" knows he is sure of a safe, if not savory, job with the kitchen police. A Dallas negro, suspicious of the virtue of written claims, took his evidence with him. When called before

Two Negroes Discharged; Would Have Ccst U.S. Too Much for Shoes DALLAS, Tex., March 19. While some exemption boards have been weighing the claims of objectors to military services who had revived long forgotten dependents, at least two Texans, willing to serve, have received honorable discharges because the army decided it would put too great a strain on the United States government to keep them in shoes. The recruits recently were discharged from Camp Travis at San Antonio because of the high price of leather. Both were negroes from the Texas bottoms and both were valiant in their wishes to "get" the German emperor. It either could have stepped on him, it would have ended the war. Each would have worn shoes number 15 if the army could have supplied them. It was estimated that shoes would have to be made to order for them at a cost of $20 a pair and so they were sent back to the farms. Some of the exemption claims have been freakish. In Dallas, a tearful claimant pictured the suffering of his

the board, he herded in seven children and hi3 wife, and professed a perfect willingness to serve in the army if the board would promise to take care of his family. He was granted exemption. Another Dallas man asked the board members to read a packet of love letters in order to convince them of the acute suffering his wife would undergj If he left her to serve with the colors. The board was visibly affected and was weakening rapidly when an investigator brought in word that the man had married after the first call and that the letter had been made to

order by a dutiful and obedient wife.

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND THEIR HAIR

- Did it ever occur to you that every movie actress you have seen has lovely hair, while the most popular count their curls as their chief beauty? In fact, many are leading ladies just because of their attractive looks. Inquiry among them discloses the fact that they bring out all the natural beauty cf their hair by careful shampooing, not with any soap or makeshift, but with a simple mixture by putting a teaspoonful of canthrox (which they get from the druggist) In a cup of hot water and applying this instead of soap. This full cup of shampoo liquid is enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. After its use. the hair dries rapidly with uniform color. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dissolved and -entirely disappear. The hair is so fluffy that it looks much heavier than it is, while its lustre and softness is delightful. Adv.

A Business Man Says

NUJOL LABORATORIES, STANDARD OIL CO. (New Jersey), BAYONNE, N. J. Gentlemen: I have now much pleasure in stating, with full knowledge of the importance of such a claim, that the benefit I have received from the use of Nujol is incalculable. While I am in the prime of life, I had suffered for a considerable time with constipation in an aggravated form, partly induced from a sedentary occupation. My knowledge of mechanical aflairs responded to the suggestion of lubricating parts of the human system, and with the idea in mind, I sent for a supply of Nujol. A very few doses affected a marked change in my condition, but to Thoroughly rehabilitate my system, I extended the treatment to more than one bottle, with the result that within a surprisingly short time, regular and proper movements were obtained and my health was improved generally. I intend to always keep Nujol on hand for the correction of any slight irregularity, and firmly believe that all suffering from constipation and elderly people particularly will find it invaluable. Yours very truly, January xo, 1917. (Name and address on request) Enjoy the same healthful relief from constipation that is now benefiting the writer of this letter and thousands of other grateful users. Simply try Nujol a few doses are generally effective and mark how gendy and surely it restores the natural regularity of the bowels.
