YOUR PROBLEMS
Don't Quarrel in Business.
j Dear Martha Allen: I had pictures
ijiade and the photographer said that
He guaranteed his work to be good
and satisfactory. When the pictures
\4pre finished they weren't a bit nice,
fjtther Flut-red and not clear. I told
Mm that I didn't think they were
flood pictures, but he didn't want to
(ft) anything with them. Finally he I
(ftd touch them up a bit, but instead I
ot being better they were worse. Now
t am about to have a picture taken
a Sain. I Want to know what is really
meant by guarantee afld how it is
b nding. How shall I go about it to
make this guarantee good? Yours,
AT A LOSS.
A guarantee is no better than the
J) irson who makes it. You will find
11 pays in terms of yoyr own disposi
t: on and happiness to refuse to guar
*• 1 with people you deal with in busi
n ?ss. Get what you think is a fair
d :al if you can. Make it clear If you
a e dissatisfied and give your reasons
w by. Then, If proper adjustment is
r. >t mg^e, drop the matter and don't
g r badtf for further dealings.
Fortune Teller's Tale.
Dear Miss Allen: I am a girl In my!
t( E>ns. I have been going with a boy
four years older than I. A girl friend
or "rrilffe"came between us and we are
not going together and have not been
for two weeks. I went to a fortune
teller the other day and she told me
just what happened. I love him very
much and I want help to get him
back. BETTY JANE.
The sooner you make up your mind
to let-the young man do as he pleases,
the happier you will be. Effort on
your part will not bring him back,
and so you might as well take your
disappointment gamely and make the
best of it. Do not place too much
faith in what you hear through a for
tune teller. Personally I think the
money you spend in that way Is
wasted and that you only build up
your hopes on unsound advice.
Never Had a Beau.
Dear Miss Allen: I am 18 and have
never had a l>eau. I want to get one.
but I don’t know how to go about it.
I am good looking and bright
enough and of a good family, but I
can’t make young men like me.

ties of the young people of the near
est church of your denomination. In
this way you will be sure to go out
among young people and enlarge your
circle of friends. But as for beaux,
don’t worry about them. The right
young man will come along at the
right time.
Jealous.
Dear Miss Allen: I have been
going with a boy friend from a, town
close by for seven or eight months.
Not very long ago he took me to a
dance where he met one of my girl
friends and he has never forgotten
her. He asks where she is every time
he comes down. I love him very
dearly and he tells me he loves me,
but I am very doubtful.
SALLY SUE.
Try no'f’to let yourself he jealous,
and when your boy friend asks ques
tions about the girl answer him
truthfully and fairly. If you try to
keep him from seeing and knowing,
about her he is more apt to be intet1
ested In her.
Sick at Heart: You are evidently
\eing “sick at heart” without any
r^al reson. Yes, let the boy come
and see you when you are visiting
your relatives. Better think, twice
before you marry so young. If you
wait a year I think your conclusion
will be a. safe one.

Off For The Woods.
Little Red Ridinghood had the
prettiest crimson cloak you ever saw.
It was no wonder she was proud of
it, and no wonder she was happy as
she put on the cloak, placed a basket
of cakes on her arm and set off to
see her grandmother, who lived In a
little cottage on the other side of
the big wood and had been sick for
some time.
"Now do be careful, dear," little
Red Rldlnghood's mother called alter
her. “I don't like to have you go
through the woods by yourself. But
hurry right along and don't speak to
any one or stop for anything."
"I won't," sang back her daughter.
"Of course I’ll bo safe."
(But we know she wasn't safe, and
tomorrow we’ll have a picture that
will show just why she wasn’t. Color
her cloak a bright red and her basket
yellow. If you cut out along the dot
ted line on the l>asket handle and
then cut out carefully around her
light hand, she can slip the basket
on her arm).

A Father la Fared With a Snloman
IJke Dilemma.
Confused, contrite at having In
truded upon Alfred Durkee when he,
believing himself alone, was so evi
dently giving himself up to a despon
dent mood, I tried to retreat noise
lessly, hoping he Was so absorbed r*
hia own emotions that lie would not
notice my presence. But as I backed
step by step toward the door, with my
eyes fixed upon him, he suddenly
raised his head, and' looked at me
with a smile that tried to be humor
ous, but succeeded only In being
plucky.
"As a soft-shod sleuth, Mrs. Madge,
you're a. good needlewoman.” he said
with a sad attempt at gayety. "But
don't run away. Tou're the one per
son above all others whom I'd like to
see Just now. In fact, I was Just
wishing for you. I want your advice.”
My mental barometer made a sud
dent descent. Too well I knew what
was the altercation upon which he
wished my Judgment, and which had
caused him to crouch so despondent
ly qver the library table. My
mother-in-law, with the acumen of
experienced old age. had forecast the
very situation which T gussed had
sent him into the doldrums, and
maxred the wonderful Joy which was
his In first fatherhood.
I knew also what would he the fate
of any outsider who presumed to med
dle or give Judgment in the dispute,
even if Alfred had himself asked for
an umpli'e. But the only things I
could dp were to feign ignorance and
spar for time.
"I Have a Receptive Heart.”
"Advice.” I echoed gaily. "Don't
tell me the responsibilities of father
hood are weighing thus heavily upon
you so soon. But I have a receptive
heart for any S. O. S., and Dlekv says
the best thing I do is to hand out ad
vice. So tell me what it iff you wish
to know first—the best woman's col
lege for your daughter, or the com
parative merits of different makes of
baby carriages.”
He looked at me reproachfully.
"It isn’t anything so easy to de
cide,” he said with so doleful an «e.
cent that my heart smote me for
levity. "But I suppose you can't un
derstand after all, being a daughter
in-law yourself. It's old Dicky I
should have gone to for sympathv.
He probably knows Just whet I'm up
against.”
-KM I'MMaMMS
There was somethin* eo bitter In
his voice that I suddenly realized, as
[ never had done before, just how
great is the suffering of a man try
ing to make of himself a buffet be
tween the conflicting whims and the
antagonisms of the two women he
loves the best on earth—his wife and
hla mother,
“Perhaps It's Just because I am a
daughter-inlaw that I am under
stand,’’ I said softly. “Suppose you
tell me sll about It. I suppose Her
Klufflness and J^ella are at swords’
points over the baby's name.'’
"Are you clairvoyant or Just plain
lucky In guessing?’’ he demanded.
"Neither,” I returned, promptly. “It
doesn't take very keen powers of
discernment to figure that out. There
are several thousand American fath
ers this minute who In all probability
are facing the same problem.”
“Why American?” Alfred asked
patently to make conversation.
“Because In all other countries the
masculine head of the house aettlea
the qupestlon of the baby's name as
he does all others, without any as
sistance from a mere woman."
“By George! there are points In
favor of that state of affairs,” he ex
elaimbed with emphasis.
“No doubt,” I returned dryly, "but
that doesn't help you any.”
“Both of ’Em In Tears."
“You emitted some yelp there." he
retorted, “and I'll tell you frankly I
don't know what to do. Leilas' set
hpr mind on railing the baby 'Edith,
after her dead mother and her sit'
ter, while mother Is terribly hurt over
the fact that we should consider any
other name for her first grandchild
but her own, ‘Mary.* Both of ’em
were In tears, the last I saw Iff ’em,
and the nurse chased me out, al
though all I asked Leila was whether
she would consent to having the baby
called 'Edith Mary.’ ”
“What was her objection to that?'
I asked, unable to sacrifice so splen
did an opportunity to gratify a very
natural curiosity.
“She said the result would he that
Mother Durkee would always Insist
upon calling the baby Mary, and that
she finally would have no other
name.” •
I made the mental comment that
Leila was eminently correct In her
estimate of the persistence hidden by
the frivolous exterior of Her F*luf-<
finess. hut I was much too discreet

Spread a little of It on card
board, under artificial light or
in good natural light.
Lay beside it a atrip of the
whitest writing paper you
have. Now look carefully at
the sugar to see, in that com
parison, if you can detect the
slight yellowish shade some
sugar has —a certain indica
tion of impurities in the sugar.
Next, with the tip of a finger,
spread the sugar thinly on
the cardboard and examine it
carefully for evenness of grain.
The grains should be of uni
form size; if several grains
cling together in a ball, it is
probable that the sugar was
not fhoroughly cleansed of
the Juices or imparities.
This test—any test—will
prove the purity and dependa
bility of Great Western Sugar.
The process of refining is so
thorough, the inspections and
safeguards are so complete,
that only Sugar of the highest
purity it put on the market.

this Sugar
for yourself
Examine closely a handful of any
granulated sugar.* Its appearance
is the one simple test of its purity.
The naked eye can distinguish,
under a good light, three charac
teristics of sugar that determine
quite accurately its quality.
Color . T. luster. uniformity of
grain . those three characteris
tics are all-important to, the
housewife.'

The whiter the sugar, the purer it
is. Purify is the one sugar
essential!
Luster Trr sparklingwhiteness
» . and uniformity of grain are
natural characteristics of quality
sugar. They denote the utmost
care in refining. They distinguish
good sugar from just sugar.”
Sugar of sparkling whiteness and
uniform grain is the kind of sugar
a housewife takes pride in seeing
in her sugar bowl . . , the best
,#ugar she can buy.
...

You may be surprised at the dif
ference yOu find in a comparison
of the sugar you are using and
Great Western Sugar.
Here is the simple test: Spread a
little of each sugar on pieces of
cardboard. Under artificial light,
or in good natural light, compare
them first for color and luster. A
difference in the shade of white
will be noticeable—a difference in

Next, with the tip of a finger spread
the sugar thinly on the cardboard
„
for a comparison of the uniformity
of grain. Note in some sugars the
variety of sizes, from coarsest to
finest. Observe in some sugars
how several grains cling to each 1
other to make one large, coarse
gram—held together, no doubt
by a little of the juice which should
have been washed off in refining
• * •
The careful observer fn this test •
will detect a vast difference be
tween some sugar* and Great
Western Sugar.' ___
In comparison, Great Western
Sugar is sparkling white, the best
indication a housewife can have
of its utmost purity. The grains
are uniform in *ire, and do not
have that coarseness to which so
many women' naturally object. I
The crystals have been thorough- l
Iv washed of all juices, ao that in
any such test the grains are found j
to be individual units—not masses '
bound together by impuritie*. —»

There is a reason! The quality of j
Great Western Sugar is under ex
acting control hour by hour during
production. Constant tests are
made in well equipped laboratories;
experts keep watch incessantly over
every part of the production.
At final inspection, any sugar fail

of color and un\formity known in
the industry is rejected.
