HEART AND BEAUTY PROBLEMS By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson

Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) Do you believe in love at first sight? (2) How long should a girl go w'lth a boy before she allows him to kiss her? (3) What Is the best test of true love? (4) How late should a girl allow a' jeiiow to stay in the evening? Should she ask him In after being out with him? (5) Does Jealousy In a fellow mean love? (6) How many dates 6houId a girl have a week? Thanking you for your advice, We remain, JANE and JOAN. J (1) I do not. i (2) A girl should permit no lovemaking until she is engaged to the man and intends to marry, him. (3) True love Is shown by unselfishness, consideration and devotion. (4) A young man should not stay! after 10:30. A girl should always in-j vite a young man into her house.; ii..... , . i i iiunotT, no biiouiu noi acepi ir ic is too late. (5) No. Jealousy is a sign of a bad disposition in nearly all cases. (6) It depends entirely upon what the girl Is doing. If she Is in school i she should never have more than two ' a week and they should be on nights when she does not have to study the next day. If a girl has a position she j cannot give efficient service if she is ' up late at night. If she gets to bed at a fairly early hour, two evenings a week should be given to the companionship of the opposite sex of which no girl should be deprived. I Dear Mrs. Thompson: 'I am 23 years old. I have been going for a short time with a man six years my senior. He dearly loves me and I like him. He is the first man that has ever shown his love for me. He Is kind-hearted and a good worker. He has bought a property and paid a small amount down. I am willing to do my part on the home for I enjoy a happy home. There are two extra rooms in this house that I could rent out which would help. Would you advise me to do this? My parents' home is very disagreeable. Do you advise me to marry this man or work for my own living and remain single? Do you think this is the man of my heart? THANK YOU. If you are sure that you love this man and that he loves you, I advise your marrying him. You will be much happier than if you lived in an unhappy home. There are school teachers whom I am sure would rent your extra rooms. They would be very desirable people to have in your house. I am sure this would be a good way to help pay for the home. You should know if this Is the right man. IJ til 4ll A IIVIII.TVII . . 11CIV17 UlTVAAj keeping company wun a very nice young man and he comes from fine parents. He is also well educated.

cause I value his friendship very much. I was always taught to slap any boy who tried to kiss me. Please don't blame me too much. GRIEVED HEART. You begged the boy's pardon, and since he refused to grant it, you will have to let him go. It was rough and unladylike to hit him with the book. This can be a lesson to you, and in the future let the firmness of your voice indicate your resentment. Do not slap. Dear Mrs. Thompson: There is a young man who has been working at the same place my father works. He has heard father speak of me until he wants to meet me. My best girl friend's beau is a good friend of this young man and he has asked him to geL'he to come to my friend's home and to arrane for him to meet me there. (1) Would it be all right for me to go? (2) What should you say when a boy asks if he may call, and which one sets the time for him to do so ' IGNORANT BETH. (1) Yes, it will bo all right for you to go. (2) When a boy asks to. call tell him that he may come. Usually the boy asks when it will be convenient and then it is the girl's place to set the night. Sometimes, however, the boy asks if a certain night will be convenient. Dear Mrs. Thompson: One evening coming home from church, which is about a block and a half away from my home, two boy friends caught up with me and asked if they might walk along. WTe stood in front of my home and talked for about half an hour. Mother thought it was dreadful because there were two of them. I thought nothing of it, as they are both friends and very fine boys. I think one of the boys understands that I w-ould not go with him and I thought he just came along with the other boy for fun. What should a girl do if invited to go to a certain place with a boy, if she knows she will go, but does not want to go with him If she refuses and later gets an invitation can she accept it if she wishes to? THANK YOU. It was al lrlght for the boys to catch up with you, but you should not have talked to them in front of your house. At such a time invite them to come in, and if they refuse say good night and goin yourself. The fact that there were two boys should make no difference. Say, "Thank you, I can't." He will not know why you can't and then you will be free to accept another invitation. If he presses you for a reason, tell him, "Because." "Because" is an aggravating answer, but it is what women resort to when they do not wish to explain. DRUGS EXCITE YOUR KIDNEYS, USE SALTS If your Back is aching or Bladder bothers, drink lots of water and eat less meat. When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowel3 clean, by flushing them with a mild, harmless salts which removes the body's urinous waste and stimulates them to their normal activity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 600 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active. Drink lots of water you can't drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful In a glass of water before breakfast each morning for a few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon 'juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts Is inexpensive; cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this, also keep up the water drinking, and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache. Adv.

TAXES TO BE RAISED LITTLE IN WAYNE COUNTY BY NEW MEASURE

"Just what value is the tax assessor going to place on my personal property and furniture under the new law, and what is going to be the final effect on what I pay In actual taxes?" These questions are being asked by householders of Richmond, the township and the county. Many have had the first answered, but are still enxious about the last. Answers as given by the tax officers of the county to the two questions respectively are: 1. In all probability the tax assessor will value your furniture and personal property at about twice what he valued it last year, and it is likely to be more, rather than less. Even with this sort of a valuation he may not be doing all that the law requires him to. , 2. Despite the fact that your property is rated for taxation at this much higher value, your taxes next year will be very little higher than they are this year, and the chances are that they will be less. Always Rated too Low. For many years, by a sort of silent instinctive agreement, tax assessors all over Indiana, have been assessing personal property at about 50 per cent, of its real worth. The law has always been much, the same, calling for true cash value,' but true cash value, when the tax assessor called was always very much below what the goods would have brought at a sale. Every county, in Indiana has been afraid of being called on to carry more than Its share of taxes if property was given in at its true value. This year, the tax commission of the state, under the new law passed, has determined to start all over and make a clean sweep. Value of every bit of property in the state is to be raised to its market figure, real estate, bonds and stocks, and personal property. The commission hopes and believes that the 1919 return will be somewhere near the actual value of the state's property, three or four times what it has ever been rated. But there is a clause in the new law which provides that the income of the county, or the state, shall not be larger than it was the year before, except under exceptional circumstances. So, since Wayne county," for instance, has to raise only about her usual income of $1,185,000, the tax rate will be lowered and no property owner will have to pay much more than he paid last year. Valuation is Difficult. It is of course hard for the tax assessor to place the true cash value of pi :::::::;:: IHfllli!!!! .........j 4

personal property, but he is guided mostly by his estimate of what it would bring at a sale, if the owner wished to sell it. Automobiles, and other machinery whose depreciation can be estimated, will be figured at a lower value which is a certain fixed amount of depreciation each year of the machine's life. But on furniture, for instance, the assessors are trying only to estimate what it would bring at a sale. Assessments already made, are in many cases far too low, says county Assessor Matthews, and some of the personal property assessors who have been through part of Richmond and the township may have to do their work over again without pay. Figures are Ridiculous. Horses, assessed at from $5 to $20 are given as instances by the assessor. "This figure is ridiculous," he said. "If a horse isn't worth more than $5 he should be Ignored." If any property owner is dissatisfied with the assessment placed on his personal property, he has the right to bring his case before the board of review, said Matthews. "But I wouldn't advise anyone to do it," he said. "A man came in here to protest because his household goods were valued at $100, when they had always been rated at $30. I told him he could go to the board of review, but I didn't advise him to do it. "The board of review has the power to revisa upward as well as downward, and if he takes his case to them and they "find that his property is really worth more than that, as I am sure it is, they will place the true value on it, as sure as death or taxes."

When your grocer recommends Edgemonts he speaks not for his interests alone, but for yours. He knows of the care that is used in the selection of the ingredients to bring out the full flavor of fine wheat. He knows of the watchfullness in the baking that brings the glow of golden brown to every Edgemont Cracker. He knows that Edgemonts are rich in strength, and are among the most economical of foods. Made with the same care and inspection that Hard bread was made for Uncle Sam. So ask your grocer for Edgemonts, always have a liberal supply in the house.

Sensational Sait Is Dismissed in Court

Much to the disappointment of a large gathering of sensation-seekers, the charge against Fred Taylor and Mildred Doner, which was to have been tried Tuesday morning, was dismissed upon motion of the prosecutor. The- evidence presented would not secure a criminal conviction, the prosecutor said. The pair were arrested last week on complaint of the woman's husband. R. K. Shively, Mrs. Doner's attorney, said-that on the evening of the arrest Fred Taylor had come to ask Mrs. Doner to be a witness in a suit for divorce against his wife in Newport, Kentucky, in which Taylor named Glen Doner, the Richmond woman's husband, as the co-respondent.

MAIL CARRIERS ARE HAMPERED BY RAINS

Even with flooded roads, a few washed-out bridges, and unusually heavy mails, rural route folk have been receiving good service from the Richmond postoffice during the past few days. Monday rural carriers were forced to make detours because of bad roads, but when it was impossible to get mail into the box of the particular patron it was left in the nearest box. On account of the swollen river the carrier on Route D had to retrace from the Whitewater crossing on the Bealer farm road to the bridge at Test's Mills in order to reach the part of his route past this point. Carrier on Route A had to cut part of his route yesterday as a bridge was washed completely out, and detouring at this point was not feasible. Rural mails are unusually heavy at this time of year, and this year they seem to be making a record, Postmaster Beck thinks. A great many catalogues, seed packages, and repair parts, as well as letters are sent through the mails. It is perhaps not appreciated by persons who do not "shop by mail" just how much can be done in this way. It is the farmers' easiest way to get repairs of small
