When I was Senator, I attempt to do something for Mr. Mitchell in the way of getting released from Jackson, but was unsuccessful, and was very happy to read that you expect to take his matter up with the present Governor personally.

JEPSEN “REVEALING” YOUR PAST - PRESENT I FUTURE I by Abbe’ W allace 1 “YOUNGEST MENTALIST ON THE AMERICAN STAGE” L. E. J.—Oldest son very forgetful seems to worry at times, his actions cause his father to become very im patient with him at such times. What is the trouble? Ans: Leave the lad alone. Nothing serious is the matter. I see several young ladies connected with his life perhaps he is worrying about them. E. L. D.—A man I know here wants a wife. I wrote him a letter. Will he come over to see me? Do you think he will take me for his wife cause I do want a husband? Ans: Usually when a woman wants anything as bad as you want a hus band, she gets it by hook or crook. You have as good a chance as any body, il^ won’t do any harm to try and land him. I vision you married this year. C. R.—Do you think my wife and I will ever be together, and will she answer my letter if I write her? Ans: It looks to me as though your wife is fed up with you. You can live happily with her if you can win an other chance. By all means write to her I think she will forgive you. B. B. J.—Will I leave the city for Philadelphia before September? Ans: You will leave for Philadelphia during the warm summer months. July I think. Success to you. F. T. S.—Mr. Abbe’ I sure like your Column will you please tell me if I will ever become a mother and will I ever live in a home of my own? Ans: In 1936 a chubby little lady will be added to your family. It won’t be many years after that when you will be living in a home owned by Mr. and Mrs. F. T. S. and Company. E. T.—Please tell me what vocation my son is best suited for? Ans: I suggest that your son seek work along mechanical lines and sys terns of transportation. His mechan ical ability is strongly indicated. N. P. G.—Enjoy your column im mensely and wish you would answer a question for me. I am anxious for my brother to come back home and live with me. Can you tell me if I will see him soon and if he will live with me? Ans: Your brother is enjoying life in Detroit, Michigan. He will visit you this year but will return to Detroit as he has a host of friends there.* A. A. W.—This question is not so nice About a month ago somebody stole a pair of my “undies”. Can you tell me where they are and help me find them ? Ans: The party that stole your under wear has been wearing them ever since. She will continue to wear them until they areytattered and torn. I never see you getting them back. H. J.—Is it better for me to remain here in my present position or return home and take the one I have in mind? Will I get a political job any time soon? Ans: Your present job is the better. You. will contact a job this spring that will prove profitable for you so I suggest that you keep your eyes op en. Do not qirtt your present job until you have one to go to. K. S. N.—Is it true that my husband is in love with someone else and would it be advisable for me to get a divorce?

(Lex Publishing Co., Drawer 1896, Seattle, Wash.) j * * * Now that the country has modified its liquor laws many readers who are particularly interested in the subject will find this little book written by an eminent Canadian lawyer quite in formative as to the many experiments used by Canadians in controlling their liquor traffic. *■ * » Prohibition in all its phases is stat istically treated and its workings in each province is separately treated by giving a thorough analysis of the dif ficulties and how they were met by each separate governmental unit. ♦ * * According to the statistics included in this book it is clearly proven that millions of dollars in revenue were added to the income of each govern mental unit but at no time during this period of increased revenue have the per capita taxes deceased. * * * Even when all of the advantages of governmental control of liquor (in Canada) are arrayed, Mr. Ross, con vincingly points out that just as long as private capital, in any of its con nections, direct or indirect, can mat erially profit from the sale of liquor that the Canadian system will be greatly abused, regardless of the strictness of the governmental con trol. Clifford C. Mitchell HEROES UNSUNG FARM LABORERS by A. B. Mann (For the Literary Service Bureau) Milk and babies are vitally related; meat, with its variety of by-products has to do with human life and activ ity. “Our daily bread" is indeed the “staff of life”. Vegetables and fruits meet a need otherwise unprovided for. The dieticians tell us of proteins, carbohydrates, sugars, starches, vit amins, carboniferous, albuminal and nitrogeneous elements, calcium and other indispensable constituent ele ments of the food we eat. And. for all of these the world Ts indebted to the farms, dairies and the orchards. Owners and managers of farms re ceive a small measure of credit. They are remembered, especially in politic, al discussions. But the chief work is done and the greatest sufferings en dured by- the millions of common la borers who remain unknown and un appreciated. A good illustration of the relationship between the consum ers and these submerged producers would be one with these toilers, backs bent, bearing a common load made up of the rest of humanity. Without milk, meat, vegetables, hu man life could not be perpetuated; and without these unsung and unap preciated heroes to supply this food humanity would perish from the earth.

Wrong! Gross, ly wrong! Something goes wrong out side; Father comes home all worked up; Without provocation he begins to thrash the children. WRONG!! Mom gets “mad” with some neighbor and takes spite out on her own children. One child makes her angry and. she whips all of them. How mean! How unjust! Anger is a species of insanity. No angry person is sane and reasonable. Even if punishment should be deserv. ed( an angry mother is not capable of deciding the degree the offense deserves.. A woman said, “If I don’t whip my child when I’m mad, I won’t whip her at all.” And that is the very strongest argument against punish, ment when angry. Nearly all mur. ders are committed in anger; and this is another argument against surren. I 1 der to it. Many a child has suffered | permanent injury at the hands of an angry, unreasonable mother. PARABLES OF OUR LORD Lesson On Prayer by Dr. A. G. Bearer (For the Literary Service Bureau) Text: And he spake a parable unto them, to this end, that men ought al ways to pray—Luke 18:1. One of the strongest arguments in favor of prayer is that when in dis tress or danger, men intuitively pray.

In Bible history, Moses prayed for Israel; David prayed for forgiveness; Solomon prayed for wis dom; Elijah prayed for vindication; Hannah prayed for a child; and the catalogue is almost endless. Jesus prayed—spent whole nights in prayer; He taught His disciples to Pray, giving them what we term “the Lord’s prayer;” and in this text He | makes the declaration, “Men ought always to pray.” Whether we consider the influence of prayer objective, moving God to favors, or subjective, giving comfort and consolation, it must be admitted that there is virtue in prayer. Wheth er it be fancied or real, still men are made better by prayer and it is to be commended. - .1. n .. ■ ■■■ ' i ■» Ross Drug Store Now Located At 2122 N. 24th St. We. 2770 Tires and Tubes BATTERIES and SPARK PLUGS Redick Tower Garage 15th and Harney ARE YOU CRITICAL ABOUT 1 L.
