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

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.
Thousands take one or two every
night just to keep right. Try them.

and girls of their own age and of I
their own kind. They are impelled |
by the natural .law of their being
toward light and color and music

There are very few'large cities |
which have not their museums of
art free on certain days to the public;
there are also the libraries. 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

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

, 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. Oh, she

couldn't cheat George out of that

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."
"But you didn't, and so you deserve

Going down to business every day
I have to pass the most poorly and

Your spirit is splendid and unsel

of turning your life into a sacrifice.
Marriage isn't supposed to be a sac

you not be able to serve the poor

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.
