Advice to the Lovelorn
By BEATRICE
"Little Bachelor."
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I vu
greatly interested in the bachelor'i letter or
a few daya a (to. And In The Sunday Bee
Of February 10 some letters of equal seri
ousness of heart and Interest were published
In answer to blm. I never before wrote
to a paper, but I don't believe there Is any
Improper action In people getting an Intro
ductlon to a correspondent by this method,
as I believe these sincere people expect this
to only be a means of opening an acquaint
ance with one we would perhaps never meet
If we were to. wait for' personal Introduc
tion. Any sensible girl knows that It will
require the same patient course of per
sonal acquaintance after thus being Intro
duced as if we were Introduced by a reput
able friend. We are no more morally pro
tected by one method of Introduction than
the other. One must decide on the worth!
ness of a new friend after meeting and see
ing something of his manner. Therefore the
Introduction Is of a minor nature. I wish
to have you send my address, if you will,
to the one in The Sunday Bee of February
10 signing her letter as "Jessy." And as
she said because of death she was horn'
less, I am sure she Is a true, noble woman
or no such letter as hers would be sent to
you. I respect and. believe a woman that
really wants a true man companion la Jus
titled In writing you. If she la so living In
a town that don't contain a man suitable
to her. As I know it Is often the ease
and she can't move her residence at once!
It's the only source open to her. Tou may
publish all or. part of this letter and sign
It ''Little Bachelor" in the paper. But if
you will give my address to any lady over
21 years old you wish to I II assure you that
I won t propose to any until I have spent
some long study and association with her.
as no man with common sense will do, and
it will bring no harm to either of us by
this source of acquaintance. I am a man
33 years old, electrician by trade and a
strong prohibitionist, too. AL.
Tou are a good fellow, Al, but I am not
permitted to conduct a matrimonial bureau.
Don't Worry.
Grand Island. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha
Bee: I'm writing a few lines to you asking
your advice on a little love affair. I am
in love with a young man whom X have
been keeping company with for about seven
months and in that time he seemed to
think a great deal of me. But of lata he
doesn't seem to care much about me. He
only comes to see me and calls up once
In a while and Is very nice about It most
of the time. He has been going with a
girl whom Is not a bit well thought of. No
one seems to speak good of her. Of course,
he never takes her anywhere, only goes to
her room or takes her car riding. His folks
think that I am all right, but will not
stand for him keeping company with this
girl or having anything to do with her.
Now can you tell me whether he cares for
me or not or what I can do to make him
care for me. Please find inclosed stamped
envelope, with which please write me your
advice. Tours truly. MISS DAVIS.
X would find someone else and not waste
time worrying about this young mar.
Too Young.
Dear Hiss Fairfax, Omaha Bet: I am a'
girl of 14 and love a boy of 22. Ha loves
me also. He has often asked to go with
me, but I never went because my folks
thought I was a little too young. He la a
very nice young man. He Is rich, pretty
and liked by all who know him. He en
listed the other day and will probably go
soon. Will It be all right for me to write
to him? Shall I write first? My folks
think he Is all right. Hoping to se this In
print. LILLIAN.
Tou are entirely too young to even think
of matrimony. Friendly letters would do
no harm, but I would wait for him to optn
the correspondence.
, Why Not? .
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: We are
young high school girls, one a junior and
One a senior. We can't decide upon a mat
ter which Is confronting us. Every week
we have a basket ball game In which our
high school team and outside teama are
involved. Usually these out-of-town boys
have to wait four or five hours for the
train after the game and generally they ask
us girls for dates and we wondered If tt
was proper to accept Hoping you may
enlighten us In this matter, we are sin
cerely, PATRICIA AND LENORE.
If they are nice boys I set no reason

Since Its introduction tiers a short
time ago, the new treatment for coll
troubles, known as Vlck's VapoRub,
has aroused a great deal of interest
among local people, especially among
mothers with small children.
Local druggists report that num

of VapoRub really will relieve these
troubles externally, without having to
"dose" with nauseous Internal me&U

For croup, coughs, chest colds, sore
throat or bronchitis, apply VapoRub'
well over the throat and chest, cover

the covering loose around the neck so
the vapors arising may be freely lzu
haled.
In addition, VapoRub Is absorbed
through and stimulates the skin, tak
ing out that tightness and soreness in

VapoRub can either be applied up the
nostrils or a little melted in a spoon

Desr Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I have
been keeping company with a young man
two years my senior. Tor the last month
he has been very attentive to a yount lady
who Is enraged to be married, 8hould I
objeot to his being attentive to her or die
continue his company T If you receive an
Invitation t a boy's home by his mother
should you accep' the Invitation? Does
It look proper for a girl to go to a boy's
home when his mother Isn't there? Please
put the answer tn The Omaha Bee and
oblige, BROWN EYE8.
I wouldn't worry about the other girl
friends the young man may have. Since
you ara Just a friend of his and he leaves
you free to go about with other young
men It would be vary foolish to objeot to
hla having other girl friends. If you are
engaged to a man and his mother Invites
you to his horn I should aeoept by all
means. Never, under any circumstances,
visit his home without her Invitation or
when she is not there.

Saving Fats Does Mot Mesa
Flavorless Foods!
Economy and Better CooSdng the Rule
in Households Where Mazola is Used
What olive oil is to Italy Mazola is to America. Pressed from
Indian Corn, for sauteing, deep frying, shortening and salad dressings, it
is as pure and wholesome as the food it is cooked with or eaten on.
Mazola is a wonderful aid to good cooking because it enables the
housewife to serve more delicate pastries, fried and sauted dishes and
at the same time save animal fats, such as butter, lard, suet
The same lot of Mazola can be used many times over as it does
not carry flavor or odor from one food to another. That is why Mazola
is so economical
, And for salad dressings it is perfect easier to mix than an olive oil
dressing.
For sale in pints, quarts, half gallons and gallons. For greater
economy buy trie large sizes.
There is a valuable
Cook Book for Mazola
users, (t shows you how
to fry, saute, make
dressings and sauces
more delicious, make
light digestible pastry.
Should be in every
home. Send for it or
