OF INTEREST T
IN LOVE
By DOROTHY IJIX
A woman recently told me. with
tears of disappointment in her eyes,
that her daughter was goin" to marry
R certain worthy but commonplaco
young man, who did not come up to the
tnother's ambitious aspirations for her
girl.
"X can't see why Alice wants to
marry him, or what she sees in him,"
wailed the mother.
Third Parlies Huve Xo II u*ln en* Med
dling With Any One's Affairs
of Heart
"Of course you can't," X replied, "the
only match that has ever taken place
since the world began that outsiders
could account for whs that of Adam
and Eve. Every other match has us
guessing."
Nobody could ever understand why
any one falls in love with any one else.
We don't know why we love the one
we do. No one on the outside feels the
attraction, physical and physic, that
draws two people together, and this
being the case, it is a pretty good indi
cation that third parties have no busi
ness intermeddling in love affairs, or
making or breaking marriages.
No one heeds the warning, however.
There probably isn't a single individual
living who doesn't consider himself, or
especially herself, perfectly capable of
picking out husbands and wives for
everybody in the community. We all
liave a **eret feeling whenever we hear
of a marriage that has turned out badly
that it is the result of people following
their inclinations instead of having
asked our advice.
Certainly there are no parents who
do not consider themselves perfectly
qualified to settle their children's love
a flairs.
Every mother in the land feels that
ehe could guarantee her son's happiness
by marrying him off to that nice, do
mestic, pious Mary Smith next door,
who has a comfortable fortune in her
own right, and a pug nose and carroty
hair.
The Staid Parents" Ideal of n lliisluind
IN Different From Their
Daughter**
Every father is sure that it would be
for his daughter's welfare if he could
only induce her to look with favor upon
the sensible and substantial widower
around the corner, who has a good
home and a good income to offer her
along with his embonpoint and fifty
years. ...
The mother would, if she could, break
off the engagement between her son
and the pretty and ga.v and im
pecunious young gitl whom he has
chosen for a wife. The father consid
ers that he is doing his duty in keeping
his daughter from throwing herself
Rway on a youth who still has his for
tune' to make.
Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair
Soup should be used very carefully,
If you want to keep your hair look
ing its best. Most soaps and pre
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the liair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing l'or steady use is just
ordinary mulsifled cocoanut oil (which
Is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
it in. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
ber of the family for months.

FRIDAY EVENING,
AFFAIRS
And neither parent is troubled by the
slightest suspicion that the girl or boy
whose lives they are doing their con
scientious best to wreck, are the only
possible judges ot what they want In a
husband or wife.
For there is no other such mystery
as the mystery of love. Science can
measure the distance to the sun and
determlnfe the course of the stars, but
it cannot tell where one's fancy will
fall. Philosophy has fomulated codes
of ethics and system of religion for man
to live by and die by, but it has not
formulated any theory by which he can
be happy and successful in love.
Experience has taught humanity
wisdom in everything except love. He
fore that the sage and the fool, the
adept and the amateur, the debutante
and the valetudinarian stand upon the
same platform.
Nobody is capable of judging of who
is another's affinity, or with whom he
or she will be happy. We do not know
by what tests we make selections our
selves. We only know that out of all
the world someone who has not more
beauty, more worth, more charm, ot
more intelligence that a million others
Is the only possible one for us.
Marrluge Mock* nt All the liulea and
Philosophic* of Civilized
.Society
We are swayed in our choice by a
double current of mental and physical
attraction that draws us to some par
ticular one that sweeps us capriciously
and helplessly away from one man or
woman to another.
This Is why marriages that are ap
parently Incongruous so often turn out
well. None of us would pick out a dull
husband for a brilliant woman; or a
simple and ignorant wife for a learned
man, or a gay little butterfly for a
preacher, or a grave scientist for a so
ciety belle, but these people select each
other for mates against the protest of
their friends, and are happy ever after,
because each answers to the other for
some need that no stranger could pos
sibly know.
In matters of the affeotion love is su
preme, and a man or woman should
take counsel of nothing but his or her
own soul. Family and friends have no
right to dictate on the subject.
Because a girl does not fire a man's
mother's fancy is no sign that he will
not love her forever and a day. Be
cause a man does not cause a girl's
father's heart to go pit-a-pat is no
token that he will not thrill her as long
as she lives.
' The Individual who Is going to marry,
and who lias to live with the party of
the other part, lias the right of choice,
and this Is a fact that families who in
termeddle in love affairs would do well
to remember.
President Wilson Is
Called Practical Dictator
Washington, Jan. s.—With an ar
raignment of President Wilson's ad
ministration and of what he called de
cadence In American society and gov
ernment, Senator Works, of California,
who retires March 4, began a valedic
tory speech yesterday In the Senate.
He deplored a "tendency toward cen
tralized, unchecked and unlimited"
power on the part of the President, de
nounced profigacy of wealth, recom
mended that the idle rich be compelled
by law to work, and urged formation
of a new progressive political party
known as the "Liberty Party."
Worsr Titan >lonnreliy
Senator Works declared usurpation
of power by the President had amount
ed "practically to a dictatorship." Re
ferring to executive measure on legis
lation, he said:
"If this kind of executive coercion is
persisted in and submitted to by Con
gress, then our government Is no longer
a government of the people. It Is not
a democracy. It is not a republic. It
is a despotism worse than any known
monarchy."

f
Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Waih away all the stomach, liver,
and bowel poisons before
breakfast.
To feel your best day in and day out
to feel clean inside; no sour bile to
coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no constipa
tion, billious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom
ach, you must bathe on the inside like
you bathe outside. This is vastly more
important, because the skin pores do
not absorb impurities into the blood,
while the bowel pores do, says a well
known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, a glass of hot wa
ter with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire ailmen
tary tract, before putting more food
into the stomach.
Get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist. It
is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
except a sourish twinge which is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot
water every morning to rid your sys
tem of these vile poisons and toxins;
also to prevent their formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an ac
cumulation of body poisons, begin this
treatment and above all, keep It up!
As soap and hot water act on the skin,
cleansing sweetening and purifying so
limestone phosphate and hot water
.before breakfast, act on the stomach
liver, kidneys and bowels.

Continued.
Lane stood looking thoughtfully
down Into his empty glass. There
were a couple of drops in the bottom,
and he twirled them slowly around
and around.
"I have been hitting It up a little
freely," he confessed with frank
self-judgment. "I'll have to watch
It. Let me see. I was lit up night
before last, wasn't I?" His brow
cleared, and he laughed. "That was
certainly some party! We started
in for a little game of fan-tan, and
we ended up by serenading Sammy
Langstcr and his bride. Regular
country affair. We all got tea-ed
trying to spifllcate sober Sammy In
his own house!"
"Then last week," gravely prompt
ed Stuart, who had no smile for the
hilarious serenade, even though he
recognized the genius of Tommy
Tinkle in the background.
"Last week was different." Billy
frowned, as he tossed his coat and
vest on a chair. "I was down at the
Pannard Building in the rain that
night, and I got some of Mike Dowd's
good old whisky. I took three drinks
while I talked with Mike, and by
the time I got up to the club I seem
ed to want more. First time I ever
had that sensation; a sort of a crav
ing. I don't like it."
The older man shuddered.
"Be careful, Billy," he warned.
"That's a bad symptom. If that crav
ing Is ever firmly established in a
| man, it never quite leaves him as long
as he lives.
"It can be controlled," argued
Billy, who had no measure of this foe
because he had never, as yet, deemed
It necessary to offer any particular i
resistance. "Look at you. Why, you
haven't taken a drink since your sec
ond night here."
Harrison Stuart drew in his breath
sharply.
"I>o you think it has cost me noth
ing?" His voice was suddenly harsh. I
I "Do you know how many weary
| hours I have fought, walking round
and round that table?" and he in-
I dicated the decanter. "The yellow
devil in that bottle calls to me in the
night, it drags me from sound sleep,
and, before I am awake, I am out
I here with that bottle in my hands!
I I have stood there holding it for llf- [
| teen minutes at a time, shaking from \
] head to foot, with the perspiration j
j pouring from my brow. I have sat
i down, weak and faint and sick, from I
J the agony of that fight! No, don't 1
| put it away, Billy!" and his jaws
j set. "I have some safety in the very
| fact that my enemy is visible. The
I damned stuff waits for me! It tries
jto take me unaware! I walk into this
; room. I am studying some problem
of construction. I have no thought
of whisky in my mind, no apparent
feeling for it in my body. Suddenly,
just as I pass, my eye catches the
golden glint of it; and theii, before I
know it, the fight is on (me again.
And It Is all to be done over, Billy;
over and over. Why, look!" He
stopped his nervous pacing, and
pressed his hands upon his chest. "I
am Harrison Stuart! I have every
thing in the world to live for! I have
my work; I have my reputation to re
gain; I have my wife; I have Tavy;
and I have the memory of that hor
rible hell to warn me! I know that
one drink of the infernal liquor will
set up in me a thirst which will not
stop until I die! I have no strength
to come back a second time. And yet,
as I stand here this minute,l want
it!" A piteous appeal rang into his
voice. "I want it!" He reached out
his quivering hands toward the de
canter. His fingers were working
convulsively, and over his counten
ance came such terrific traces of the
bygone Bow-Wow, that Billy was hor
ror-stricken! There was an agony of
passionate desire in his suddenly
blearing eyes, as they distended upon
the gleaming yellow contents of the
cut-glass bottle. He was bent and
crouched, and, for a moment, it seem
ed as If he were about to seize the
bottle, and drain it to its dregs, and
| die! Billy hurriedly snatched up the
decanter. The old man's eyes follow
ed It greedily, but he straightened,
and, with a stern struggle of his
muscles, regained control of himself.
He was deathly pale, and a cold per
spiration stood on his forehead.
"That's what it is to crave!" His
voice was hollow and of inexpressible
mournfulness. He shook his head.
"Hard liquor isn't for some people,
and I'm afraid you're one of us."
Billy held out the decanter and
looked at it as if it were some new
species of bomb. He set it down slow
iy.
"If I thought it'could ever get me
like that, I'd never touch it again," he
pondered. "But, Hal, I can't afford
to admit that there is anything in
myself which I can not conquer and
control! To say that I do not dare
do this or that would weaken me in
my own confidence of strength. It
would take something from me
which I could never replace. It
would rob me of one of the big things
which make me a man. If I need to
control this stuff, I'll control it; but
I won't run from it."
"Run, Billy!" begged Stuart. "Be
a coward! It's the bravest thing you
can do! I have been thinking of all
this with especial keenness to-day
You know, I met Miss Penning in the
office. She's a charming girl. Billv
a delightful girl." y '
"Isn't she?" Billy's voice rang with
enthusiasm. "The best girl in the
world!"
The old man smiled.
"She likes you, Billy," and he shook
his head. "Really though, speaking
from the viewpoint of a bystander
I should be distressed to see you
marry, with this tendency growing
upon you. Very few hard drinkers
are reformed by marriage. The re
formation must comd from within
themselves, or not at all. I am tak
ing this liberty because of my grati
tude to you, because of my affection
for you, and because I know, as few
men are unhappy enough to know,
just how tragic the consequences of
an unconquered fight against that
foe might be. My God, Billv, can't
you realize what it has brought me
to! Didn't you find me in a condition
lower than the brutes. Didn't you
discover my gentle-born family hu
miliated, disgraced, and living in
poverty? Didn't you see me, to-day,
stand before my own daughter, and
not dare to say that I was her father,
and not dare to take her in my arms,
not dare to call her my Tavy! And!
oh, Billy she's beautiufl! Beauti
ful!"
Here, at last, was a proposition
'lth which Billy could agree, and the
look of distress left his brow.
"Didn't I tell you you wouldn't be
lieve how beautiful she is until you
saw her?" he enthusiastically remind
ed Stuart. "I'm going over there to
night."
"Are you?" The old man's earn
estness was lost in his eagerness.
Billy's reports of his visits to tho
Stuart's home were what the old man
lived on. If he could not go himself, |
he could go by sympathetic proxy. I
"I'll sit up and wait for you."
"Go to sleep," urged Billy, beaming
down at him in great friendliness, j
They were pals again now, conspira
tors together. "I'll waken you. I've!
a great excuse this time. That
check!"
They both laughed. The framing
of excuses for Billy to call at the
Stuart home had been one of their
most elaborate pastimes.
"You didn't give it to Tavy this
afternoon."
"Certainly not!" laughed Billy in
triumph., "I almost cheated us out
of this call, but I remembered In time.
What dq you think of this, Hal ?" j
and he tossed over the sketch he had
brought home. "By jinks, I'll have
to hustle!" In two minutes more,
he was heard splashing.
So ho was expected to marry Ger
aldine! He pondered this, as he deftly
tied his black bow. What the dickens j
was the matter with people! Couldn't j
a fellow have a close girl friend with
out their being hustled into matri
mony about it? Wouldn't Geraldine
enjoy that! Why, they were as open
with each other as Tommy and him- .
self! Thoy were all in a bunch to- |
gether. People mighty seldom mar-1
ried in their school-day crowd. It |
was like marrying in one's own fam
ily. He seized his brushes, and I
tackled his hair with impatient vigor.
It was stubborn to-night. Tommy
Tinkle was with Geraldine more than
he, and nobody ever thought of marry
ing them!
"I think I'll go along," said Stuart,
as Billy joined him at the table; and
there were traces of imps dancing
in his dark grey eyes. His hair had
been black when he was young.
"Eh!" gasped Billy. "Oh, all right.
Why don't you?"
The imps disappeared instantly.
"Not for one year from the night
I threw the glass in your fireplace,"
he said: "the first night I saw you
intoxicated. But I'm going far enough
to look at the house, if you don't
mind. I've kept myself from that
long enough."
He did so. He located the entrance.
He had Billy point out the windows;
and then the young man went into j
the house, and shut the door behind
him.
There were three windows in that
room, all brightly lighted; but, from
j a near viewpoint one could only see
the ceiling. From across the square,
dim, old eyes could make out but
little detail. At about half-past
eight, a curly head appeared in a
window. Tavy! She sat in a rock
ing chair apparently, but she did not
rock much, except as the chair sway
ed with the vivacity of her conver
sation.
A tall figure came to the window '
by and by. This was at nearly nine.
Billy! He stood up, for quite a while,
talking, and from that characteristic
tilt of his head, occasionally laugh
ing. ' He sat on the window ledge af
terwards. At nine-fifteen there ap
peared a third figure at the adjoin
ing window; a woman's figure, with
soothly drawn hair done high on her
head; and the head was bowed slight
ly. but not much. Thank God, not
much!
Jean! Oh, thou good and faithful
Jean! Thou true Jean! Thou Jean
that has suffered, and borne, and
waited! Oh, may all the blessings of
heaven and earth be thine, thou
Jean! May there be happiness
enough, in thy days yet to come, to
efface, in part, thy misery in the weary
years that are gone! Jean! Jean!
She peered out intently into the
night, as if in her soul she hoard
that passionate call. It was cold out
there, cold and damp.
"Why, I thought you'd gone home!"
wondered Billy, when he hurled him
self through the door, at half-past
ten.
"No, I've been walking about the
square," returned Stuart calmly,
though ho was shivering. There had
been much pain in that lonely vigil,
but there had been great happiness,
too. He had seen them both this
"day, wife and daughter; beheld them
with his own eyes; and they were
safe, safe and well!
"Rotten raw out here," commented
Billy, with an uncomfortable feeling
that ho had been cheating Stuart.
Somehow, he felt guilty that he was
able to go through the door, while
the man who had the natural right
must stay outside. Young Lane had
a most troublesome conscience. How
ever, ho could pay part of the debt
and ease part of his guilt. "I've some
great news for you!" he exulted.
"You'll be able to watch them for
two hours and a half Thursday night.
I'm going to take them to the the
ater! We'll sit in a box, and I'll get
you a seat which will give you the
best possible view. I've a bully pair
of folding opera glasses!"
CHAPTER XII
Geraldine .Makes a Hun of Kiglit
"Hello, Billy! Glad to see you!"
and Geraldine's voice dripped with
honey.
Billy Lane blinked. He could not
believe in his luck! Why, nil his
worry had been wasted! It was not
necessary for him to square himself
for having failed to attend Mrs. Wil
ton's dance. It was already done.
| There wasn't a word, not even a
frown or a cold, chilling glance!
Wasn't Geraldine Penning just about
the best girl in the world! Sweeter
ever day! Or had Tommy fixed it?
Good old Tommy!
"I'm glad to be seen." Billy was
as happy as any boy who has escaped
a scolding. He shook Geraldine by
both hands, and, drawing her arm In
his. strolled back to the billiard-room,
where he set up the balls for their
occasional game. "I'll have to stop
double discounting y.ou, Geraldine.
You've been beating me too steadily."
"Single discount then," she gaily
accepted. "It's a tremendous com
pliment, Billy, to have you object to
the double discount." She banked
I her ball, and laughed as it came back
to the rail and nestled there. "I've
been making all the boys play with
me, and particularly Tommy and
Daddy."
"Particularly Tommy!" emphatic
ally declared that young man, loung
ing in from the library. "I've play
ed billiards so much that I walk bent."
"Get a cue, Tommy," ordered Ger
aldine calmly. "You have me to beat
for the bank."
j Tommy Tinkle took a cue and
chalked it, and banked and lost, and
I sat in one of the high chairs.
| "Give an account of yourself, Billy "
;he suggested. 'Why didn't you get
out to Mrs. Wilton's? I told Ger
: aldine that the l'annard excavation
fell in."
"I didn't believe you," laughed
Geraldine. "You've fibbed for Billy
so much that I've learned to double
discount you." She made her first
shot coolly and accurately, but her
thought was only perfunctorily with
the game.

Hear of Ancient Mortgage. The
Dauphin county court has fixed 10
o'clock Monday, January 8, for hear
ing all about the ancient mortgage
that was given by John Shaeffer to
Henry Ford on the South Third street
property udjoining the Rustic Dairy
Lunch room. This is owned by Mrd.
Henrietta J. Corbin and never satis
fied so far as the records show. The
mortgage was given April 15, 1796 and
Ford paid a hundred pounds in gold
for the property. The legal presump
tion is that the mortgage has long
since been satisfied and if nobody
appears January 8 to object, the court
will direct the lien to be marked
satisfied.

I OLD-TIME COLD f
) CURE-DRINK TEA! j
vjci a. attuui iJu.c<tage oi ilumuurg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, "Hamburger Brust Thee," at
any pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful
of the tea, put a cup of boiling'water
upon it, pour through a sieve and
drink a teacup full at any time. It is
the most effective way to break a
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores, relieving congestion. Also
loosens the bowels, thus breaking a
cold at once.
It is inexpensive and entirely veg
table, therefore harmless.
Jj that is fighting
the most general
disease in the
world. Use it
twice daily. See
your dentist
twice yearly.

FORMULA
VEGETABLE
CALOMEL
Vegetable calomel, extract of the
root of the old-fashioned may-appla
plant, does not salivate. As a liver
stimulator, it's great. It's a per
fect substitute for ordinary calo
mel (mercury)* in fact, it's better,
because its action is gentle instead
of severe and irritating and it
leaves no mean, disagreeable after
effects. Physicians recognize this
and prescribe may-apple root (po
dophyllin, iney call it) daily.
Combined with four other stand
ard, all-vegetable remedies, may
apple root may now be had at most
any druggist's in convenient sugar
coated tablet form by asking for
Sentanel Laxatives. If you forget
the name, ask for the box that has
the picture of the soldier on it.
These tablets are small, easy to
take and are really wonderful lit
tle performers.
Tney quickly clean out the poi
sons that are causing you head
ache, constipation, sour stomach,
biliousness, dizzy spells, bad breath
and coated tongue.
They are mild. They never
gripe. And they are a bowel tonic
as well as a cleanser and liver
regulator. A 10c box should last
one several weeks. A Physician's
trial package (4 doses) will be
mailed you free if you write men
t'oning this advertisement. The
