Advice to Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Rejected in the Draft
i Dear Miss Fairfax: I am going about
with a young; lady whom I honestly lov,
and who loves me. I Intended giving her
an engagement ring. But now my hope
are partly shattered as my father tells me
not to do this. "It would not ba fair to
the girl," he says, "to engage yourself
to her at the present crisis, as you may t
called to the colors."
I was rejected In the first examination
and have received a permanent discharge.
My doctor tells me they will not accept
me for the army, as I have a little trouble
with my heart.
I am going to tell her everything ana
let her decide. Do you think I can have
a comfortable home, earning between $:a
and 25T B. P.
Just tell the whole story to the girl.
and I think ahe Will aree with me that
there ta nothing to prevent her marrying
and "living happy ever after."
Living with a Mother-in-Law.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 20 and dearly
love a younj man of 23, who has asked me
to marry him. I do not know whether to ac
cept him for this reason: If I marry him
we will live his mother and young sister.
who are depending upon him for support
I have heard that such marriages usually
are unfortunate, and that Is why I hestl
tate. The question Is. What should we doT
O. A. 8.
1U generally Is very difficult for a man's
mother and wife to live happily together
under one roof. A good many girls have
managed It because they loved enough to
sacrifice a bit for that love and were tact
ful and clever and had a real, underlying
respect for age and a gentle love of the
woman who wa the mother of their sweet
heart. . If you can conquer yourself and
cater to another woman meeting her more
than half way It will work. Do you love
your sweetheart enough to do this for his
sake? If not, woe betide you If you marry
him.
Too Much Arithmetic.
Dear Miss Fairfax: Will you please tell
me why It Is that I am able to attract ana
gain the friendship of either older men or
else very young men, but never anyone
between the ages of 28 to 27? It seems 1
Just cannot Interest them or keep them as
friends.
I am a young girl of 23 and receive
many opportunities ot going out, bjt never
from the right source. t X. Y. Z.
My dear child, don't you sea the ab
surdity of your own question? I suppose
the men of 23 to 27 who happen to come
your way wouldn't have liked you If they
had happened to be 17 or 37. There is an
old saying: "Where thou art not, there
luck la."
I am afraid you are one of the people
that phrase describes. Tou want whatever

A munition plant in France which
maintains a model nursery for the
babies of its employes is described
by Dr. Ester Lovejoy, who is at
tached to the Red Cross in Paris, in a
letter to Dr. Anna Howard Shaw,
chairman of the woman's committee
of the Council for National Defense.
"I have been assigned to work in
Pan's," she writes, "and have been
visiting institutions for the help of
women and children in hospitals, ma
ternities, clinics, prenatal homes,
homes for nursing mothers nd nur
series for children whose mothers
have replaced men in industries At
a munition plant I visited 'ecenlly,
provisions for pregnant women who
are obliged to work, and for nursing
mothers and their infants are interest
ing indications of the trend of things
under the pressure of economic
necessity."
Model Nursery.
"Six thousand women are em
ployed at this place and there is a
model nursery for the care of infants.
When the mothers return to the fac
tories after their confinements, their
infants are taken, free of cost, and
cared for by trained nurses in a home
built for babies, not a corner in a
house built for grown people. The
mothers of these babies are allowed
half an hour every three hours to
nurse their babies, and at night there
is one bottle feeding, which trrange
ment permits the mother to go home
at 6:30 o'clock and rest all night with
out being troubled with the baby.
The babies are always left in the
nursery during the night. If ideas of
this kind are put in practice during
the war and developed afterward
there will be some good at least come
out of the evil of it all."
Dr. Lovejoy went to Paris as a
member of the American medical
unit. When the medical unit system
was abandoned she was appointed
second assistant medical assistant in
the children's bureau of the Red Cross
in Paris, a bureau which includes
women as well as children.'
WAR-TIME CANDIES
An exhibit of war-time candies is being made at the Patriotic Food
show held in the Chicago Coliseum by candy manufacturers of that city.
The percentage of sugar in these candies has been greatly reduced by
the use of corn syrup and corn sugar to amplify cane and beet sugar, and
also by the free use of cocoa and chocolate in making soft candies, and
by filling hard candies with fruit paste, nut paste, marmalades, jams, and
other conservation ingredients. The factory test of excellence in making
these candies is to get as small a percentage of sugar as possible without
impairing true confectionery quality, and also to make , sugar shells as
thin as possible. With ample supplies of chocolate and cocoa in the coun
try, and no reason for restrictions in the use of marmalades, jams, fruits,
nuts, and the like, chocolates made with centers of these ingredients are
true conservation candies, and their manufacture, sale, and consumption
is desirable.

There is too much grief in the world! Unneces
sary grief, agonizing grief, which destroys the
nerves and blasts the hopes and we borrow it.
Salt on Grapefruit
During the recent sugar shortage
the market for Florida grapefruit was
affected to a degree that led the grow
ers there to suggest the use of sal.
instead ot sugar on grapefruit. Tree
ripened grapefruit, such as begins to
come from Florida in December, is
often preferred without any sweeten
ing at all. .Honey, maple sugar,
maple syrup, and corn syrup also
make suitable sweetening for this
fruit. To safeguard themselves
against a possible sugar shortage next
winter, the growers, through the
Florida Citrus exchange, will devote
part of their advertising space to a
campaign acquainting the public with
the use of salt on grapefruit
By ADELAIDE KENNERLY.
There is too much grief in the world!
Unnecessary grief, agonizing grief which destroys the nerves and
blasts the hopes.
And strange as it may seem we borrow most of it.
We grieve for persons who have departed or from whom we are
separated, for one cause or another when there are billions of others.
We need not cease to love them. Memory may take us back to them
often, but why not go back with pleasant memories?
Down to the very depths of despair we go with borrowed troubles.
Anticipating disaster is a sure way to bring it because, under such
mental depression, we cannot fight fairly with the world and conditions.
"If you think you are beaten you are," for the minute you give up
hope the world knows it and how can you expect the world to have
more faith in you than you have in yourself. '
i Imaginary troubles are the foundation stones on which our tragedies
are built. Without these foundation stones, griets would melt into atmos
phere like the sails of "The Phantom Ship."
The world has no room for a cynic 1
Beware lest you allow your earthly cares to drive you to cynicism.
The world has no time for the pessimist)
Fear and borrowed troubles are germs of pessimism.
Sunshine destroys the meanest parasite when given an open door. Let
it in. 1 '
Welcome the good in others and forget the bad. Soon there will be
but little bad.
Have you ever had trouble which you could not overcome? No, because
you are still here.
Haven't your deepest griefs been, for the most part, self-inflicted?
Then why grieve?
What's the use?
Smile and the world makes room for you.
There is too much grief in the world.

Take your choice! Help Uncle Sam now or pay the kaiser later. We
haven't won this war yet, and if we lose it, you can imagine what will hap
en. If it takes every single spare cent of our money now to win, it's ten
fold cheaper than it will be if we lose.
But, investing -your money in War Saving Stamps isn't giving it's
only lending your money to Uncle Sam lending it now when the need
is desperate when the money will hit Kultur the hardest.
Buy War Savings Stamps now for every dollar Uncle Sam can get
now is worth ten next year.
Stamp Savers Are Life Savers
You don't want our boys to face the Germans with
their bare fists like the Russians did.
Money puts guns into our boys' hands bullets in
their rifles money saves lives, and stamp savers are
surely life savers.
Remember, you're giving Uncle Sam only the use
of your money for a while. That's letting you off mighty
cheap. Others are giving their lives.
Order One or More Each Month
You'd give every cent you possessed in the world
to save your own life if the kaiser came to Omaha.
Don't haggle now over how much to lend ,Uncle Sam
to keep the kaiser away. Lend evjery cent you can.
Buying one $5.00 War Savings Stamp doesn't
make a patriot of you unless you can buy no more it
only makes you a piker.
Order one, or two, or five, or ten to be sent you
each month for ten months. It will keep you saving and
you'll get a good habit.
Come Across or the Kaiser Will
If you, and every single one of us, doesn't do all
he or she can, the kaiser may come over here some day.
We've got to win this war- jump in and help
do all you can.
