A MUX. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am awfully worried over something I have done. I was engaged to a very, dear boy In France and I got worried over a little matter and wrote him, asking to break our engagement. Now I am sorry. I haven't received any answer from him yet . Should I write him another letter and tell him I did not mean It, or wait mtil I hear from him. LOVER'S LEAP. You must use your very best Judgment In this matter If you expect to have the outcome satisfactory. Did you have a good reason to break your engagement? If you did, wait until the man returns and asks your forgiveness before you renew your engagement. He will respect you more if you show resentment over an Injury than If you accept it without an apology from him. In case you broke your engagement without the young man's doing anything to deserve It, you should write to him now. Ue very sure of your love before you renew your engagement. Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) Do you think a man thrity-four years old too old to marry a girl twenty-one? (2) Do you thing a poor girl should marry a boy higher in life than she is, or In other words a rich boy? (1) A girl of twenty-one Is too young to marry a man twelve yefers older than hersejf. If, at the age of twenty-five or more, she. made such a choice I would think that she was old enough to know her own mind. At twenty-one a girl has Just started out in life and needs a few more years of experience before she should settle down with a man so much older than herself. (2) She should not marry him unless 6he is very sure that she can fit into his world and grow socially and mentally as her husband grows. A girl with little education, lack of social training and a feeling of selfsatisfaction would soon be a disappointment to her husband and would lose his love. Dear Mrs. Thompson: jn seventeen years old and until now I have never had a wart. I have rather pretty hands, but now a large wart has grown on one of my fingers and

Bronze Buttons for the Men of V, S. Forces WASHINGTON. D. C, Dec. 23. Bronze buttons, appropriately inscribed, are to be furnished to every soldier who served with the American forces during the European war to wear In his lapel after he returns to civil life. The buttons are emnotprt

it Is very noticeable. Is there any thing I can do to remove this which will not injure my hands or leave a scar? H. T. Y. Get a small quantity of a6etlc acid at the drug store and apply it to the wart with the end of a toothpick. The acid will dry the wart In two or three applications and it . will fall off. Do not let the acid touch the skin around the wart, because it burns deeply. You will find that the skin of the wart Is so tough that the acid will not cause you pain.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Which girl will make J the better wife, a hightempered or even-tempered one? ROBERT. Such a matter is a question of taste. Some men prefer a woman who is tempermental because they consider her changeable and interesting. Other men would rather have a wife who is even-temperered and pleasant no matter what the circumstances.

Two women are shown here working on baskets and hammocks. No .longer can the pessimistic scribes write scornful and vindictive articles about the indolent, extravagant and useless society women. For years it has been quite the thing to play up the silly fads of this so-called "idle" rich class. But that time has passed. The idle rich have been just about the busiest they could possibly be since the outbreak of the war. For the very reason that they had more time and money than most folks they have been able to accomplish more than the ordinary person in the matter of doing war work. The women started out by taking courses in first aid from the Red Cross. They went daily until they were skilled in the art of first aid common sense and they paid for the privilege of learning. They spent

outside time learning fo knit and sew for the soldiers as well as for refugees of allied countries. They spent every ounce of energy they had putting loans and charity drives over the top. They went to domestic science lectures and classes and learned how to economize at their own tables and how to teach others to do the same. The talented ones gave their services for soldiers' entertainments. Now the real test comes, however. The war is over, but the work of the women 13 far from over. But from all indications the society women at least see what is yet to be done and they have already started another class. This time the women are learning the art of weaving in order to qualify as teachers of wounded boys returning from overseas. The course of instruct tion is being given under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. The photograph shows two New York society women learning how to weave baskets and hammocks. The method of making brushes is also one of the trades taught. This work may not have the thrill and romance of the course in nursing or motor driving, but it is far more practical.

Taft and Manly Confer with New York Strikers (By Associated press) NEW YORK, Dec. 23. Former Presidr.t William H. Taft and Basil Manly, joint chairmen of the national war labor board, arranged to hold conference here today with New York boat owners and marine workers in an ef

Five Districts Designated as U. S. "Leave Areas" i TOURS, France, Dec. 231 Nearly all of the five districts in France which have been designated as "leave areas" for American soldiers are well-known summer watering places to which only the wealthy usually resorted In peace times. The great hotels which then were occupied by tourists from America and other parts of the world now shelter the American soldiers who are on leave after a period of service at the front. Beautiful casino buildings and other facilities for attractions which are connecteed with these hotels or conducted for the benefit of tourists now have been taken over by the Y. M. C. A., military bands have been ordered to all these "leave areas" and Y. M. C. A. entertainment programs are given in all of them. The location of these areas follow: . One at Savoy with headquarters at Aix-les-Bains and including Cbambery and Challes-les-Eaux. This has been in full operation since February. Two Britany area, including St. Malo, Pararne and Dinard. Three Auvergne area, including La Bourboule and Mont Dore. Four Dauphiny area with Grenuble as headquarters and having the beautiful French Alpine watering places of Uriage and Allevard. This is one of the areas of France surpassing Switzerland in beauty. Five Ardeche area, with Vals-les-Bains.

Mra. H. H. Spender-Clay. Mrs. H. H Spender-Clay, daughter of Baron William Waldorf-Astor, has won the thanks of many U. S. army officers. Her home in Surray. England, has been used as a convalescent home for American officers. Mrs. Rpender-Clay worked hard helping to care for the wounded men. The home, a beautiful type of English mansion, is known as Ford Manor.

The women bowlers of Kansas City have formed a league and will hold tournaments.

Mrs. Theodosia Garrison ba written the following poem for Red Cross week: . Oh, happy folk, contented folk, and ye that go with gold To seek within the noisy mart the gifts to mark the day, ' ' Jolly toys and gems and lace and trinkets manifold. Here be better wares to buy along the crowded way. Buy a pair of red cheeks to give a little lad again, Buy a pallid woman's face the bright eyes of health, ' Buy a broken man a hope, buy the strength be had again. Here are bargains wonderful awaiting on your wealth. Oh, happy folk and careless folk, the world's bazaar is piled With lovely gifts and lasting gifts to mark a holiday.

NOTICE RETAIL DRUGGISTS NO MORE VAPORUR DIRECT BUY IT FROM YOUR JOBBER Effective Immediately, No More Direct Shipments Will Be Made Retailers. All Shipments Now Go to Jobbers for Redistribution. "

Many other equally good reports. Try one box today, which can be forwarded to any address upon the receipt of iconey order for $1.00. There is nothing better at any price. Address, "ORLENE" Co., Railway Crescent, West Croydon, Surrey, England.

When the influenza epidemic struck the country and wiped out our warehouse and jobbers' stocks almost over night, we were faced with the problem of distributing to the stricken distircts In the quickest possible manner our daily output of VapoRub. We solved this by offering to ship direct to the retailers in these influenza districts, by parcel post prepaid, cfuantitles of not more than three Anzen VannTfnh in anv one shiDment.

and by shipping what was left from

our dally production to our joDDers Dy express Instead of freight. This was costly, but It solved the problem for the time being. Now, hnwsvpr we find that these small

shipments are constantly increasing we have received as many as 1,306 in a single mail. It is becoming impossible for us to fill these promptly, and instead of distributing our goods more quickly, they are really slowing up the process.

We believe that we can serve you -better now by reverting to our former policy of shipping exclusively through

no more drop shipments will be made. While we have put on a night shift and have, thereby about doubled our production, we are Btlll unable to fill -our back orders and won't be able to ' give each Jobber all the VapoRub he ' wants. Hence, It will be necessary for the jobbers to continue distributing VapoRub in small lots only. But we will be able to furnish each jobber at least twice the quantity of Vapo Rub that he purchased for the corresponding month last year, so there should not be any difficulty in your getting your pro rata share. We feel that the public appreciates . the service that the retail and wholesale drug trade have rendered the country in this time of stress. We , wish to express to both branches of the trade our thanks for the kind cooperation extended us in our efforts to meet this emergency.
