The only way to meet tho girl would be
fo find some person who knows her and
knows you and who will Introduco you to
her. This nhould bo easy if she Is a girl In
the same state of life ns yourself Or If she
goes to curtain entertainments or church af
fairs, you miKht go to tho Hamo things and
find an opportunity for an Introduction. Do
not let her bee that you aro overanxious to
meet her and be careful not to ask if you
may call the ery first tlmo you meet. Many
girls would bo frightened and seek to avoid
toe ardent a wooer. When you havu asked
If you may call go once or twice and then
show her llttlo attentions by Fending her
flowers and candles and go once or twice a
week to see her If she will allow it Above
all things do not bo too precipitate about
showing your heart. Walt until you havo

PATSY KILDARE
THE OUTLAW
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS
Making a Rescue
WHEN I went to see my burglar this
morning ho told mo that tho doctor Is
going to como In a day or two and give
him tho onco over. Ills eyes were bright
and ho seemed excited about his chances
of soon getting well. Then, nfter breakfast,
Itowdy and I hopped Into tho nuto with
Levy and away wo went. Itowdy would not
et up on t'.o back scat with me, so I nat
down on tho bottom of the nuto with him
on one sldo and mo on tho other, leaning
my back against tho door.
I was Just telling Itowdy how lucky he Is
to be a dOIT. all hut Imvlni? lna when Hia
door flew open and I turned over endways
and my head hit on the step and then I
found myself sitting by tho sldo of the rond.
The nuto was going down the road, but
Howdy Jumped out and. being a dog. he did
not havo any better sense than to jump with
his face toward mo and his tall tho other
way, so when ho lilt the ground ho turned
over backward onco and sideways a good
many times. When ho got up hn got up run
ning and when ho got to me ho rubbed his
nose all over mo to sec If uny of my bones
were broken. Whr-n lie found I wns nil right
ho was so glad that he laughed the wny u
dog doe-, with both ends of himself. I put
my nrnii around him and wo laughed and
russeled till we woro out of breath. It
seemed good to hnvp somebody uho Is glad
tn llnd you aren't bu&tcil after jou luue
fallen down.
Levy wns out of sight, for he hadn't
mtiwd us. ho we started to walk to school,
but ho camo back before wo had gono very
far and wo rode (ho icxt of tho w.iy. After
school I went out on the road that goen to
wliero Jim und Mngglo live to lako a look
Ht my threo Oliver dollars lu the crawlMi
hole. Somebody had been there nnd shoveled
out tho ditch and the crawfish hole along
with It. So I hod to dig all around for an
hour beforo I found my three dollais When
I went bark to our house thero was Levy
waiting for mo. I told him to chaso him
self and that maybe I would be homo that
night nnd maybo I wouldn't. When h
asked me whnt ho should tell tho burglar
nnd tho nurso nnd Mr. Korkrurtder It lie
foamed for mo 1 said to tell them to mind
their own business
Itowdv and I went downtown and looked
nt tho pltthers In front nf tho pitcher shows
and then wo went into n big hotel on ono
side and si nod around till the man nt the
book pointed nt us and another man with
brass buttons started for us. Then we
walked out verv slowly, Itowdy walking bo
hlml mo and skinning his teeth so no one
dared touch inn. When wo got to the door
I turned and stuck out my tonguo nt the
man, and nnnther man, who wan huylng n
cigar. laughed and so I smiled at him und
went out. That was fun.
It was good and late when Itowdy mid I
got to Mr. Hoekrtldder's house .So wo kept
right on going until we got to wliero the
man lives who In a hundred jcars old. After
wo went through tho vines wo saw a light
In the house and next wo saw something
dark and It wuh tho man's dog and It wiih
dead Wo went and peeked Into the window
and thero wero two hoboes and one of them
was holding a match almost against the old
man's nose and saying. "Whcro is It?" Tho
old man was making a funny nnlso and look
ing seared. Howdy and I tlppytoed in and
looked through the doors I pointed to the
hobo with the match and hollered, "'Jo to
It'" Howdy Juinpid at his neck nnd lilt him
and tho man screamed and Howdy landed on
tho bed and from thero ho Jumped on to the
other hobo, and he srrfained, too, and Hung
Howdy through tho window. Then they
both ran over mo getting outdoorH and by
tho way they hollered I guess Howdy met
them nt the stein. Thoy did not wait to find
the hole through tho Uen, but went right
through them any whcro and when I got out
they wcro away down tho road In the dark
and every holler they gavo was further
away. It was rjulto n while before Howdy
came back and I could see by the way he
carried the pleco of pants bo had In his
teeth that ho was very proud of himself
When we went Into tho houso t will bo
dlngbuHted If the old man was not asleep.
80 I blowed out the light and camo out on
tho step and kneeled down and prayed.
"Wear mother which art In heaven, you ami
Clod got Howdy and me hero Just in tlmo.
If you hadn't I guess thero would have been
a hundred year old angel In heaven learning
to fly. Ask Ood to bless you nnd my father
and to get morning hero as quick as He
can, for I am going to sit on this step with
Howdy all night. Amen."

GOOD HEALTH QUESTION BOX
By JOHN HAUVEY KELLOGG, M. D., LL. D.
In nttstyer lo hralth qurttttoitK, Doctor Kelluotl tn this space lelll oalfv give advice nn preeeiitlve
medicine, but in no vane u III he take the risk of mnfclnp diagnoses of or prescribing tor all
vxentn requiring eurgltal treatment or drugs Health Questions uj promptly mi
' eicercd bu personal Irttrrit to inquirers u.ho inclose stumped eapefopes for rcplu.
Constipation
NORMALLY, tho bowels should move
after each meal, and oometlmea just
nfter rising. The largest movement gen
erally occurs pooii nftor breakfast.
Many persons suffer from constipation
who aro not aware of the fact. Thero are
three forms of constipation: (A) Simple
constipation, In which tho bowels are only
somewhat sluggish or Irregular In action;
(II) Cumulative constipation, In which the
normal movement of the bowels Is pre
vented by accumulation of hard, dry masses
In tho rectum or pelvic colon, and -C)
Latent constipation, In which tho bowels
move dally, but without complete evacua
tion of the lower colon. Not Infrequently
the symptoms peculiar to latent and cumu
lative constipation are found present to
gether. It Is highly Important lu every case
of constipation that such an examination
hhall bo made as will determine the cause
of the constipation. It Is only by the aid of
such examination that It becomes posilblo
to mako a successful application of curative
mean.".
Fasting, a scanty diet (less than 1600
calories), a liquid diet (milk, gruels, por
ridge), a diet chlelly consisting of such
foods as white bread rice. meat, eggs, tea.
toffee and condiments are highly consti
pating. .
Cellulose (the Indigestible woody cart of
vegetable foods) Is the only element which
can Increase the hulk of the feces, The
averago person requires about an ounce of
cellulose dally.
Harden vegetables (excepting tho potato)
contain much cellulose, especially the beet
root, turnip, parsnip, spinach, cabbage.
brussels sprouts and lettuce. Most fruits,
especially figs, apples, huckleberries and
prunes are also laxative.
Meals must bo regular In time mid the
amount of food taken. Food Is tho dIivbI-
ologlo laxative
Kxerclse promotes bowel action, esue.
dally walking, horseback riding, gym
nasium exercises and such exercises as
trunk bending and deep breathing.
Tho best of ull exercises for relief of
constipation are leg-raising und similar
movements practiced with the head low,
using an inclined table or an Ironing board
with ono end on a chair, the other resting
on the door. A special folding tablo is
made for this purpose.
Treatments which especially help bowel
action are the morning cold bath, Massage
of the abdomen, nnd In special cases appli
cations of electricity to the abdominal
muscles, the rectum nnd the pelvlo colon,

Can this condition t cured? V. (1.
This condition Is curable. A diet ccm

Hays, the famous long-dlstnnce runner,

Abstinence from tobacco In any form Is
essential. Emoklng affects the lungs and
heart and the more he runs the less he
will care for It. I suggest running as a
certain cure for the tobacco habit to any
one who wishes to break himself of t"
One pound of market tobacco contnlns
about 350 grains of nicotine. One-sixth ti

TUT what has become ot me " ,
aiked my friend, lately returned
from Ihigland, who was giving me some
urprlalng facts and figures on tho boc'k!
und domestic condition of women In the
Hrltlsh Isles. Sho
mined her hands
helplessly.
"That Is what
people were asking
themselves In IhiB
land beforo the
war," she .wild'
"Whs't tho -Hun-Hon

most daring proph
ets don't seem to
want to talk about,
lleforo the declar

(iermany Investiga

out of every thou

were more than
half of chlld-lienr-lug

In Kngland lu tho ratio of about nine In
ovorv hundred. Thero were more women In
Kngl.ind than men oven before the call to
aims sviit the Uier share of mo male
Iiupul.itliti (tamping oft to tho trenches.
"When peace comes tho condition will bo
much more pronounced, probably twice us
bad. In other wolds, It will be lmpofdblo
for many thigllshwnnieii to llnd a husband,
unless the go elsewhere to seek him If
they havo no opportuu ty or ii-sourccs to
do so. thev urn doomed to go through llff
husbandlfws nnd chlldles. And tho condi
tions will bo even wmse in Kranco In other
words, olio woman out of cverv four In
Ihigland and Kranco will havo to do without
a husband, fur there won't bo men enough
to go around. And these figures are mn
seivatlvc They may be far larger If tlili
cirn.tK.0 of slaughter continues much longer.
"W'liat Is going to be dono .ihullt it I"
she llnhhcd.
1 know that this question contains sev
eral olhent tho matter of children, und the
future generations, on whom thp world
reconstruction will rest, the statui if tho
home, tho posit Inn of ivciintii In business
and wic'oty, all quite apart fioin the
problems of each Individual case.
Hut, while 1 appreciate all of these facts
I still believe our social recciiistnicturs are
npiinathliig tho whole situation from tho
wrong angle. They are trying tho Impos
sible) task of governing nnd directing hu
man motalH and Impulses from without
rather than fiom within. Of course, the
situation means that many, pry in.in.v.
women In tho war-stricken nullum will be
denied tho privilege of mairiagc and chil
dren, and ns n consequence the govei imituts
will face tint problem of Insulllrieiit herit
ages to cany forwniil tho woik of iv
building.
Woman's primal mission Is the rem lug
mid iiil.liig of children If she Ih tn be
denied this mission, what la to happen to
society? This Is the question lha,t teems
to be dlstuiblng leit.iln of our foremost
thinkers very deeply, but the passing of new
laws, the letting down of soel.il barrleis
will not solve It. The future generations
will take caro of thennelven, if we. lu tbla
day and age, taho care of ourselves. And
