Life's Problems Are Discussed ■ ■ Therefore, I beg you, pause and consider. Here are vast numbers of young persons who have invaded the various large cities of this country in order to earn their livings. They are at the Impressionable age when their thought molds are still plastic—"wax to receive and marble to retain." They do not llva in for they are Just receiving their training. They are a little, in many cases more than a little, contused and puzzled by the entirely now en vironment in which they find them selves. They are overwhelmed by the crowding new impressions which press upon them from every side. They are deafened by the city's strident voice; they have not yet fallen into her rapid step; her argot is to them a foreign tongue. They are self-conscious, in doubt of them selves, and, worse than all, they are pathetically lonely, starving for smiles and kind words and com panionship. And the sense of isola tion, of being out of things, is the cruelest suffering that can be im posed on the young. They want to mingle with boys limr COHSTIPAIH Get Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 17 years and old-time enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid livers. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, but ahealirfg, soothing vegetable laxative. ' No griping is the "keynote" of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab lets. They cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If you have a "dark brown mouth"—a bad breath—a dull, tired feeling—sick headache—torpid liver and are consti pated, you'll find quick, sure and only pleasant results from one or two little Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets at bedtime.

Free concerts which provide the sola'ce, the benediction and the inspiration of great music are becoming more and more common. There are also certain recreations provided, though not enough. So the city offers much to her children, native and adopted. But it does not meet any adequate or de cent way their great need of friend ship. And it could be met so easily. For instance, each district has its schoolhouse. These have assembly halls or large rooms which could be used as such. Young men and young women, the middle-aged, the old of that especial district—-all in fact, desirous of more social life than falls to their lot—could register their names at this schoolhouse, showing their wish to belong to the social organization. To entirely re move it from political interference or supervision it could be under the control of the State Board of Regents. Each neighborhood group could elect its own officers and chaperons, and decide upon its own amusements and recreations. Thus it would be a purely democratic organizatVon. This is a mere sugggestiOn, the bare outline of a possible solution of an important matter. It is just a question of time until something of the kind is devised; and certainly the sooner it comes to pass the J better. All's Well That m Ends Well m By JANE McLEAN. She had been balancing the house keeping accounts. "Dear, I shall need about three dollars for myself to finish out the week," she sang out after wrinkling up her forehead for fifteen minutes or more. "All right," he answered, smiling at the fig'ure seated at the small desk. "I'll make out a check from my housekeeping account and you can cash it if you will." He went into his pocket immedi ately. "Three dollars, did you say? How about five? Here's a nice new bill." "I really don't need five," she said dubiously; "however, I'll be extrava gant just once. I need a new pair of gloves, and the extra two will just buy them." "All right, here's the five." "And here's your check," she re sponded, as he handed him the neatly written piece of paper. She was proud of the business-like way she managed things, especially her checking account, out of which she ran the house and bought a great deal of her clothes. The day' passed quickly enough, and the money flew. Stella found that with the extra two dollars she was short. She needed stockings and nothing was as cheap as it had been. She was forced to pay more than she Ifelt she could in almost every case, and as there were three days still left in the week she did not dare to j spend all she had. That would be I poor managment indeed, j But she was disappointed. And j the rest of the day was clouded in I spite of the fact that Stella was a I sensible woman and did not fret j over trifles. That night when George I came home from dinner everything , was as usual. He came into their pretty chintz-hung bedrpom and j kissed his wife laughingly. | "How did everything go to-day?" Ihe queried good-naturedly. "I didn't ; forget to cash your check; here it is." Stella was so amazed at George's act that she said nothing at ail for a moment, and then the sight of the crisp banknote lying on her dressing table constrained her not to give it back. It meant those cobwebby stockings that she had wanted so badly and after all she needed it more than George; why shouldn't she have it? And so with scarlet cheeks she slipped it hastily into her dressing table drawer and went on arranging her hair. As she hurried out into the kitchen to finish her preparations for dinner the thought occurred to her for the first time that George had been unusually careless. How had it happened that he forgot the fact that he had paid her? He wasn't usually so unltusiness-like. And siiuul- Janeously cam,, the sudden thought that George needed gloves. The fin gers were out.of his gray ones, and she had told him once or twice that they were too shabby to wear. v "But a man doesn't eare about those things like a woman does." he had remonstrated. "I'd hate to buy myself new gloves while I have the old ones; It would seem extrava gant." And then Stella thought with a shamed recollection of the thin, silk stockings which she had coveted but had not actually needed.

HXKRISBURG TELEGRAPH couldn't cheat George out of that bfll, she Just couldn't do it, and virith out giving herself a chance to change her mind, she flew into the bedroom, snatched the bill from the drawer and rushed out to the livingroom, where George was sitting reading the paper. "George Olds," she said gravely, but with a hint of sly humor In her eyes, "I nearly you Just now." "How's that, dear?" "Don't you really know?" He shook his head. "Don't you know that you paid me twice for that check I made out to you? And X was going to keep it, too." George looked puzzled for a mo ment, then bur3t out laughing "Well, I deserve It for my carelessness. Imagine making a mistake like that. Well. dear, you shall have the money to buy yourself a 'pretty with. I did a rather neat piece of business to-day. And such' lionesty! Why. I can hardly believe 4t." "Oh, George, don't tease," Stella protested. "I feel like a criminal; you see, I did want to keep it."

Really, dear, it's all right. Keep it and buy something you really want, something nice." "All right," Stella retorted, "I'll buy some stockings I haw to-day and couldin't afford, and do you know what else?" He shook his head. "A new pair of gloves, dear, for you!" Advice to the Lovelorn BY BKATIUCE FAIRFAX A Splendid Spirit Dear Miss Fairfax: I am going about with a young man twenty-eight I love him dear ly. He has asked me to become his wife. There are no parental ob jections, but there is one reason. Going down to business every day I have to pass the most poorly and densely populated section in the city, and to see the dirty and un kempt families and homes, it has made me feel I ought to devote my life to doing what I can for the poor. F. V. W. My Dear Child. Your spirit is splendid and unsel fish, but a little bit morbid and hys terical for all that. Don't fiing aside the personal happiness to .which you arfe entitled for the sake of turning your life into a sacrifice. Marriage isn't supposed to be a sac rifice, but the happiest possible ex pression of life itself. Why should you not be able to serve the poor and needy even after you are mar ried? Undoubtedly wonderful wo men like Florence Nightingale, Clara Barton and Jane Addams have been more completely free to serve hu manity because they had no person al ties—but just to feel the yearn ing to help people in general doesn't assure you of the efficiency and abil ity that would make you such a wo man as one of these.

A Dangerous Man DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: * I am nineteen and in love with my employer, who is forty-five. He has taken mo out a great many times and told me several times of his love for me. Yesterday I found out he is married. I asked him about this and he says if I will only be patient he will get a divorce. I feel that I cannot go back to work until you tell me what to do. I Jove him very much, yet I don't know if I should leave or what. Please answer me soon as I will not go back to work until I hear from you. E. P. W. No man of forty-five who takes jut a young girl without telling her that he is In honor bound to another woman means any good. No man who confesses the truth of the sit uation only when forced to and then offers to get a divorce from his wife —some day—has very much respect for the girl's common sense or the rules of the game of life. If he plays false to his wife or you what chance is there that he will play fair' with you No, dear, you don't love him —he has just furnished a little ex citement and imitation romance in your young life. There are a great many splendid business opportuni ties for girls now and for you to stay in the employ of such a man is foolish, impractifcal and dangerous. Be Honest Dear Miss Fairfax: A short time ago I met a very fine young officer in. the U. S. Army. I gave him no encouragement, though he treated me as though I had known him for years. This NOVEMBER 23, 1917. young man has since left for France and has promised to write. Would you advise me to answer? I have since found that I dearly love the young soldier. His home town does not happen to be in thla section of the country, and unless I request him to he may never return to this part of the country again. MADELINE. What is your trouble about?
