t Keep Children Fit
If a child is below its proper
weight after it reaches the age of 12,
the chances are much against its ever
becoming normal, child specialists
say; yet several million children
some put the number at 5,000,000
are below weight today. ;
Recent Surveys made in different
parts of the United States, both in
the city and in the country, disclose
the fact that 10 to 30 per cent of the
school children m each community
surveyed weigh at least, 10 per cent
less than they shuld.
Epidemics find these underweight
children easy victims, and large num
bers die from contag'ous diseases
each year that night have lived if
their bodies had been in normal con
dition when they were exposed to the
Contagion.
Rest Tips.
There is no doubt tlat most wom

week, be in bed an hour before mid

not make a practice ot being out ot

woman eight hours' is usually suffi

J. II. Men always enjoy. receiving
linen handkerchiefs or gloves for
Christmas gifts. Fine handker
chiefs now-a-days, with linon so
high, make splendid gifts appre
ciated more than anything else. The
fancy handkerchiefs, all girls make
now, would be excellent for your
friend. Why do you not get the
linen and make them yourself
Hopeful Your case is very much
like many others. Wc receive let
ters from people every day who are
much worse off than you are. As
long as you and your children have
good health, you are rich. You can
very easily place your four children
in the orphanage, where they will
be well cared for always. Offer
to pay a little for them and as long
as Heaven has given you your
health, get busy and work like ev
erybody else in the world has to.
Eighteen Years Old Do not go
against your mother's wishes. She
is you best friend and will care for
you when this man will be going
with somebody else. Why don't
you ask your mother to let your
friend come up to your home and
meet your mother, then if he is a
r.ice fellow your mother will look
differently on his attention. You are
still too young to go against your
mother's wish.
Dear Miss Fairfax: You have
helped so many that I am coming
to you for some advice for myself.

work for is always forcing his at
tentions on inc. He is married to
a sweet little girl and I have spoken
to him many times, but he docs not
seem to mind it. 1 cannot afford to
lose my position for I am taking
care pf my mother. It seems as if
I am the only girl that has worked
for him and been treated thaf way.
Waiting for an answer. B. E.
B. E. Since you are the only girl
that he has ever treated in this way,
some of the fault must lie with you.
Any girl or woman who wishes can
stop a man forcing attentions on
her. Be dignified always, and
simply tell him in a very few words,
but kindly, that he must treat you
with more dignity. If this will do
no good, then get another place
without him knowing anything about
it, and leave without notice.
If you are a good stenographer, as
you say you are, then there are
many places you can get work.
Dimples Write your story on
white paper and have it typewritten.
No one ever writes to 'a magazine
to see if they want your story.
Simply send story to the maga
zine. You may get the address of
all magazines in the city library.
They are usually fojnd on the first
or inside page. It is difficult to tell
what magazine might buy your
story. "No" is a negation, "know"
denotes knowledge. '
Dear Miss Fairfax: I would like
your advice for the following: Do
you think it is all right to give a
boy friend of about a year's ac
quaintance a pair of rilk socks as
a Christmas present or a piir of
cull links with his initials? Which
do you think i better of the two?

CulT links would be better, but it
depends on how good friends you
arc. If you just see each other oc
casionally and he lias done uotlrug
for you then a Christmai card ii all
you should send such friends.

Immediately after a "Danderine"
massage your hair takes bn new life,
lustre and wondrous beauty, appear

thicken.
Don't let your hair stay lifeless,
colorless, plain or scraggy. You,
too, want lots of long, strong hair,
glistening with beauty.
. A 35-cent bottle of delightful
"Danderine" freshens your scalp,
checks dandruff and falling hair.
This stimulating "beauty-tonic" gives
to thin, dull, fading hair that
youthful brightness and abundant
thickness. All drug counters sell
"Danderine."
