Miss Fairfax Answers Queries'
CONQUER YOUR INFATUATION
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am twenty-two, and dearly in love
with a physician fourteen years older.
He has treated me for six years or
more and will not accept a fee. Would
it be proper for me to give him a gift?
Can you. Miss Fairfax, tell me any
way to win his affection without being j
bold? M. L. W.
You might send this physician a i
plant at Easter time. This is merely
a trifling return of the services he has |
rendered you. But too many roman
tic girls imagine themselves in love I
with their doctors. This is probably !
due to the fact that a physician shows
sympathy and understanding to his,
patients in a professional capacity, i
and that highstrung feminine emo-1
tionalism reads something personal,
in it. Make up your mind that you
are merely one of many patients to
this doctor.
TRY TO DO RIGHT
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am deeply in love with a young i
man two years my senior. We have j
been going about for the ppst year
secretly on account of our different j
creeds. I am sure that if my parents !
knew of this courtship they would com- j
pel me to break it. This would make
me unhappy forever. Now, do you j
think that we would do wrong to j
marry secretly and then reveal it to.
our folks? BKB.MCE R. '
Giving up a lover never yet made!
any one "unhappy forever," but mak-!
ing parents unhappy is very likely to!
cause lasting self-reproach. Try to get 1
the consent of your parents to this j
marriage. In any event do not make j
the mistake of being secretly married \
Secret marriages never come out well,'
and marriages between people of
widely different creeds are in them- j
selves rather dangerous.

If Food Disagrees
Drink Hot Water
When food lies like lead In your stom
ach and you have that uncomfortable
bloated feeling and your stomach is
sour and burning it is usually because
of excessive secretion of acid or food
fermentation from chronic catarrh.
In such a case a good and safe treat
ment for catarrh of the stomach is to
take before meals a teaspoonful of
pure bisurated magnesia in half a glass
of water, as hot as you can comfortably
drink it. The hot water washes the I
mucous from the stomach walls and I
draws the blood to the somach while i
the bisurated magnesia is a solvent for !
mucow. thus increasing the efficiency I
of the hot water treatment. Moreover j
the bisurated magnesia, as physicians
can tell you. is a powerful but harm
less antacid which when taften after
i meals quickly neutralizes the excess 1
acid and sweetens your stomach con
tents.
This hot water and magnesia ireat- I
ment is a far better Dlan than that of 1
swallowing some pill or tablet which
simply artificially digests your food !
and sends it still a sour, fermenting I
acid mass into the intestines where it
will do almost as much harm as In the
stomach.
As there are various forms of mag
nesia be sure in fallowing above direc
tions o ask he druggist for Klsurated
Magnesia (either In powder or tablet I
form) which is especially prepared fori
the correction of stomach acidity. You i
can get it at George A. Oorgas' or any |
good drug store.—Advertisement.

mixing and massage face,
neck, arm*, hands.
Here is told how to prepare an in
expensive lenton lotion which can be
used to bring back to any skin the
sweet freshness of which it has been
robbed by trying atmospheric condi
tions. Windchafe. roughness, tan and
redness are warded off and thoso tell
tale lines of care or of age are softened
away.
The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a whole
quarter pint of the most remarkable
lemon skin beautitler at about the cost
one must pay lor a small jar of the
ordinary cold creams. Care should
be taken to strain the lemon juice
through a line cloth so no lemon pulp
gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh
for months.. Every woman knows
that lemon juice is used to bleach and
remove such blemishes as freckles, sal
lowness and tan, and is the Ideal skin
softener, smootliener and beautitler.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of this sweetly frag
rant lemon lotion and massage it daily
into the face, neck, arms and hands,
and see for yourself. .
BE RID OF THAT ACHE
If you are a sufferer with lame back,
backache, dizziness, nervousness and
kidney disorders, why don't you try

recommend?

was troubled considerably by my back
and kidneys . My back ached con
stantly across my kidneys and when I
got up in the morning. I was so weak
and sore that I could hardly manage
to get around. I was in constant
misery. My kidneys were irregular in
action and I felt drowsy and languid.
The doctor's medicine didn't help nie
and as he said it would be well for mo
to try Doan's Kidney Pills I got a box.
The first box helped mo and I con
tinued using them until they cured
me."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't sim
