.API l^e<\diiv^"the Hjffijjfc Life's Problems I Are Discussed , BY MRS WILSON WOODKOW X have two letters before me, one form a man and one from a wom an. Both are seeking happiness— their own specific kind: 110 other brant" will do for them. In this they do not differ from the rest of world. Every one is longing foi happiness. Every one believes it would be his if it were not for the two towering mountains which block his pathway—the great moun tain "If" and its counterpart and twin, "But." We would be blithe and happy and good and gay "if" it were not for this or "but" for that. Or. every side one hears the cry, "I could be perfectly happy if I o.'ilv had health." or "if I only had lv.oney," or "if I only had compan ionship." or "if I were only free." And ho we continue to postpone be- . ing happy until all the "ifs" and "but?" are surmounted. Then, we tell ourselves, we should really be gin to enjoy life. * The man's letter describes a se ries of business disappointments. J'or several years Fate has persist ently dealt him poor hands. He says: j "I was thinking of giving it all up and starting over again at something new. Just as I had about reached this decision I read your article, 'Dreams Do Come True.' When I laid ilown the paper 1 picked up an other one, and the first sentence that caught my eye was: 'Stick to the - game you know and play it to the limit!" "The one coming on the heels of the other set me thinking. Since I have followed one line of work i all my life I ought to know some- ' thing about it. Somebody some where must want niy expert knowl- | edge. I'm going to hang on to that ! belief, anyway.

" I like that quotation about the ! 1 driigon. 1 never heard it before. The last dragon! He is sure to be more i formidable and terrifying than any |of his predecessors. We always meet h'ni when we are pretty tired of the struggle, pretty dubious about the I results, and feeling as blue as in ' digo. That is the last dragon's mo ment, and he saunters out of his den conlident qnd serene, his brazen scales flashing in the sunlight, to j give us our finish.

I FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE Duty Demands Robust Health Fight to get it and keep it Fight—fight day in and dav out !to prevent being overtaken by ills and ails. Keep wrinkles from mar i ring the cheek and the body from I losing its youthful appearance and buoyancy. Fight when ill-health is coming with its pallor and pains, i defects and declining powers. Fight to stay its course and drive it off. j But light intelligently. Don't fight I without weapons that can win the day, for without the intelligent use of effective weapons the pallori spreads and weakness grows and a| seemingly, strong man or woman oft-times becomes a prey to ills j after all. You will not find this class of persons in the hypoferrin ranks. Xo unhealthy, dull, draggy, droopv I persons in that line. It is a hale, hearty, robust aggregation of quick -1 steppers who view life in a joyous frame of mind and are mentallv ; and physically equal to any | emergency. Hypoferrin stands for sound body and sound mind— it is the invigorating tonic of the times powerful and unsur passed as a health restorer, vitalize!- and health preserver. Fight to hold the vigor of a sound body with hypoferrin or to stay the process of decay and restore health and strength—you win. This tonic of amazing, wonder-working proper ( ties has been approved by physicians !as a restorer and safeguard of health. It is a thoroughly scientific preparation of the very elements necessary to tone up the stomach and nerves, to build up strong, vital ; tissue, make pure blood, firm flesh and solid, active tireless muscles. Hypoferrin contains those mightv | strength-producing agents, leeithin- J and-iron peptonate. in a form best adapted to benefit the body and its organs. Its ingredients are"absolute ly necessary to the blood. In nine cases out of ten a run-down condi tion. sallow, pale complexions that "all in" feeling and frail bodies are due to lack of lecithin-and-iron pep tonate in the system. • Your ifiental and physical strength and endurance depends upon a lecithin-and-iron peptonate laden blood: steady, dependable nerves and j a healthy stomach. With these vou | can meet life at any angle. This wonderful tonic, hypoferrin. ; which is as perfect as science can get to nature, meets every essential demand of the human onanism. It 1 Is safe and sure and a boon to run- I down, worn-out men and women, j Hypoferrin means nature's own way of bringing color to the cheeks. I strength to the body and keeping ! the vigor and buoyancy of vouth. The I powder and paint way of effecting | beauty is not needed by hypoferrin women and girls. Their blood, filled , with nature's beauty stores, create* ! conditions that give firmness and I grace to the body and the glow of ] health to the cheeks, j No need of going through life siek- I ly and always feeling miserable in ! this age of medical science. Join the hypoferrin ranks. It puts into you the springy snap and vigor vou ought to have and puts life into v'our body and mind that inspires the con fidence that you confront the world on an equal footing with anvone. Hypoferrin may be had at vour druggist's or direct from us for Jl.on per package. It is well worth the price. The Sentanel Rem*-" Cincinnati, Ohio. "Though deep in mire wring not your hands and weep; 1 1 lend my arm to all who say, 'I can.' No shame-faced outcast ever sank j so deep, ' But yet might rise and be again a man!" When the woman went to the prophet Elislia and told him that ! she had no food and would starve, he asked her 'one vitally pertinent question: "What hast thou in the house?" She had only an empty oil cruse. But the prophet took j that and filled it with oil which nev- I er tailed. Wonderful symbolism! Every hu j man being has something in his : house which will feed him, clothe him and warm him if he only rec ! ognizes it; some little special apti ; tude, some bent in a certain direc | tion. some gift, some knack, some training. He may think nothing of it. may never have considered it important, may even have belittled it. and yet it may prove the peg on which he will hang his future suc- Success is a matter of steps. The first step is to decide what you really 1 want to do, what your particular bent is. The next is to make your ; plans in outline and in detail, and j then live with them, develop them, j enlarge them, add to them all the 1 time. The third step is to work for | your success, bend every energy, ev | ery faculty you possess toward that ! one end. The fourth step is ac complishment. And then there is a llifth —the most important of all, for lyou can't hold on to success and [stand still. The moment you attain what you j would have called success last year, it is worthless. The real success is I always shimmering on the edge of j the far horizon, and its quest is a ■ new adventure. For those who seek I Eldorado, it's an unending journey, I "over the mountains of the moon, down the valley of the shadow." , Dear me! I have written all this, and have not yet reached my sec ond letter. Well, the second letter was written by a woman who says j that she has achieved everything she set out to, and yet she isn't 1 happy. She has never realized that if we j don't make a habit of enjoying life i now, we never will enjoy it. What, after all. are mountains of difficul ties and last dragons or first ones? I read something the other day that made a distinct impression on me. It was to the effect that the : wayside and the goal are one, that at the various goals we are all seek- I ing we shall find only what we hav& gathered by the wayside. So. if we are traveling over moun ! tains of difficulties and meeting un pleasant dragons with "teeth of iron ; and fingernails of brass." why take them too seriously? We are miss ing a great deal if we do not spare a few moments now and then to en joy the view and pass the time of day to the other pilgrims and pluck i a few wild flowers —some wonder -1 ful ones grow above timber line. How on earth are we ever going to enjoy the goal, if we haven't re joiced and been glad by the way side? GRIP FOLLOWS THE SNOW LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE Tab lets taken in time will Prevent Grip. E. W.

THEFOUR O A SERIAL, OF YOUTH AND ROMANCE By VIRGINIA VAN DE WATER V, j Stephen. Livingstone waited to di-t vest himself of his hat and coat be fore obeying his wife's summons. This done, he entered the library, rubbing his hands and looking eag erly at the open tire. "Ah!" he exclaimed. "This is pleasant! It is cold and raw outside There is a storm brewing." Then he stopped, arrested by the expression on his wife's face. He knew what it meant before he went i through the form of asking. But, j manlike, he wished to avoid a dis- \ agreeable moment by pretending to I be unaware that it was approaching. "You wanted me, Amanda, my dear?" he queried. "Good after noon. Cynthia! I see that you ladies have been having: tea together. Cynthia glanced at her untasted cup. She had forgotten all about her tea. Her aunt spared her the necessity of a reply. "Yes, I called Cynthia down here ! to talk plainly to her, Stephen. 1 j have tried to make her understand that all we wish is her welfare. She feels that her future is safe —that is. that she can get on without de pendence upon others. In justice to her, she should be told the facts." "I intended to tell them to her. as you know," the man remarked. "But there was no hurry about it. However, since you have broached the subject, we may as well go on with it." He was no coward and brought face to face with a painful duty, he would tackle it unfalteringly. 1 His wife hesitated, uncertain whether to remain in the room or I go out. The husband settled the, matter for her. "If you do not mind, my dear," i he said. "I think Cynthia and I ; will have our little talk out alone." I Mrs. Livingstone's feelings were of mingled relief and regret. She i was glfid to shift the burden of ex- j planations upon her husband's broad I shoulders, yet she felt a natural feminine curoisity as to "how Cyn-, i thia would take" the news about to | be told her. J However, the matron left the room i \ Prepared Especially for this Newspaper. | FASHIONABLE AND FREE FROM EXTREMES. If there ever was a season when fashion extremes and folly were out of place surely it is now. Therefore the designers are turning out a number of attractive, yet conservative, frocks for spiing and summer. The long loose tunic that is greatly in evidence is feaitured on the model to the left. It is in blue cashmere trimmed with plaid silk, 2% yards 40-inch ilk and 4 yards 44-inch cashmere being required for medium size. White challis makes up the second frock most appealingly. The skirt is gathered to the waist, sans girdle, and has the side drapery incorporated i with the pockets. Double collats, one of silk, trim the neek, while the sleeves are gathered into cuffs of silk. Medium size requires 5 yards 44-inch challis and 1 yard 27-inch si!k.

A l'eininlne Appeal As soon as she was gone, Cynthia turned to her uncle with an appeal ing gesture. "Please, Uncle Stephen," she said, hastily, "tell me what all this is about." The elderly man drew a chair up close to hers. "I am sorry, my child, to have to tell you anything painful," he began. "But a few days ago I received a letter from Mr. Blake, your father's executor and lawyer." He paused and Cynthia nodded. She could not speak. "He told me in a good many words what you may learn in a few. The money that your father thought he had secured for you Is about gone-—I mean most of it is. He invested in several schemes in which he felt confident. He was al ways a. bit inclined to be visionary and his last illness seems to have increased this tendency. "So when, a few weeks before his death, some people advised him to go into a couple of big mining schemes he so far forgot about his former business acumen as to com ply with their wishes. He invested heavily. He lost every cent he put in." The girl was watching him, her eyes distressed. But she made no comment. Something in her ex pression hurt the man watching her, and he tried to soften his blunt statements. "I do not mean to imply that your father's business sense was usually at fault. It was not. But the ill ness that took him off has a subtle effect upon the mind, and sufferers from it sometimes do strange things. Your father's desire was to make a big sum of money for you and he became an easy dupe of un principled promoters. Except for a. few thousands he had invested safe ly elsewhere, he has left you with out any money." "Then," she faltered, "I am de pendent? lam so poor that I must earn my own living? Well," with a sudden lifting of her head, "I can do that." How to l>o It "How?" the question was brusque and went straight home. How, indeed?. She thought fast, j She had been brought up in ease. She could play the piano only a lit- I tie; she could sew scarcely at all; | she had always hated mathematics; [ she knew nothing of bookkeeping, stenography or any of the many ways In which some girls earned their livings. Moreover, she had never been taught to apply herself. The salary that she might earn as a beginner in any one of these branches of occupation would be pitifully inadequate to her wants, for she had never learned to economize. It had not been necessary. In short, she had been the petted darljjig of an indulgent father. He had always told her that he was providing handsomely for her. "You have enough money to live on simply for a while, my dear," her uncle went on to explain. "And why should you worry? 1 am here to help you out —and you are my dear sister's only child. Moreover, as attractive a girl as you will un doubtedly marry. You will meet the right man soon, and your aunt and 1 will see that you do not meet the wrong one. Meanwhile, try to be a normal, happy girl—less given to introspection, and taKe the goods the gods provide. "I have written to Blake," he ad ded, when she did not speak. "He has your very few thousands in safe keeping. He will send you money as you need it. "Now, dear child, before that small sum of money Is gone, you will have met the Prince Charming, and will be the safe and happy wife of a prosperous man. "So, as I said before —why wor ry?" To Be Continued Advice to the Lovelorn DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I have been going out with a young man for two years. Irately I have been giving my time to dancing, which he does not approve of, as he does not dance much, and I do not pay as much attention to him when I meet him at dances as I used to, although I care for him just the same. I hive met him at several dances lately, and I notice that he is pay ing attention to another girl whom I know personally. Do you think I should sacrifice my dancing for him? BEWILDERED A terrible sacrifice is being asked of you! No wonder you say you are bewildered. Dancing is a tremen dously important thing and in this time when tile whole world is writh ing under the lash of tragedy, you do well to give your time to dan cing. How can you say you care for this man? How can you claim to care for anything but gayety, diver sion and completely selfish amuse ment? No wonder your sweetheart is paying attention to another girl. I think there is more at stake than just that you should sacrifice your dancing for the sake of your love, as you put it. I think you should teach yourself to have a sense of values—conquer your weaknesses for the sake of being a worth-while woman. By all means "sacrifice" your dancing for the sake of devel oping dignity and character. Informality DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am a young man, engineering for a construction concern. While walk ing to work last week a young lady clipped and wrenched her ankle. I assisted her to her home a few doors away and she invited me to call. Now I want to know would it be proper for me to do so, never hav ing had an introduction, and while she seems very nice, I would like you to settle the question. H. T. This is one of those .informal in troductions which society says we may accept. Chance and circum stance let you help this girl. Now it is showing no more than a friendly sympathy for you to call at her home and inquire about her recovery. Her mother or father will probably meet you and if you make a good Impres sion on these older folks, who have enough experience to judge, prob ably you will be invited into the home. Then each of you will be able to form some estimate of the other by the standard of the family circle. A SOLDIER'S PROBLEM DEAK MISS FAIRFAX: Six months ago I met a youngi lady, and we became attached to one| another. I am in tho army and ex-1 pect to go away in a short time. 11 gave an engagement ring, with the; understanding we arc to marry if I return. The girl is not satisfied, and begs me to marry her now. She is a dear girl, and X feel if I marry j her now, I may come back so crip pled I wouldn't be able to support her. I love her enough not to want, to ruin her life in thlß way: because nhe will always have the chance to make a good match, and I feel if I marry her now I would be cheating her of a happier future than I may be able to give her. We are both twenty-four. I want to know whether you think I am right or wrong. Some will think your principle* right, the rest think them wrong— that sums up the situation and the attitude people are going to take to ward your problem. Some will ad mire your unselfishness, your self control, your wish to do nothing that might possibly hamper and handicap the future of the girl you love. Others will feel that most of life is taking chances and that, since your sweetheart wants to marry now and desires to feel that you belong to each other, you would be doing her the greater kindness in yielding. After all, most of life is taking chances, and we never have any written guarantees of happi ness or good fortune. Do what you think right—not just what will let you swell out. your chest and feel proud of yourself, but what will leally bring the greatest happiness to both of you. Belgians Riot When Huns Deport Judges AmsterdaVn, Feb. 15. —Lea Nou velles, Maastricht, reports that the Belgian government having ordered the Belgian judges in the occupied territory to prosecute all activists guilty of having announced the fall of the king's government and of pro claiming autonomy in Flanders, the three presidents of the Brussels court of cassation placed under ar rest Pierre Tock and Dr. August Borms, leaders of the activist move ment. The Germans immediately hasten ed to the palace of justice in Brus sels and arrested the three presi dents, at the same time releasing Tock and Borms. The news spread like wildfire and delegates repre senting 600 Brussels societies met in the main square where a demon stration of thousands of persons was being carried out. The police and soldiers charged and tired upon the crowds, several soldiers and civilians being killed or wounded. The three magistrates were sent to Germany. Dater the court of cas sation met and decided to resign in a body if the three magistrates were not released. All the Belgian tribu nals have United and decided to strike. The Belgian people every where, according to this report, are in a state of extreme indignation against the Flemish inhabitants. Sausage a Medium of Allies' Propaganda Washington, Feb. 16.—The sau sage may be playing an important part toward disintegrating the Kai ser's army. France's message to German troops that they will do well to surrender and give the password, "Kamarad Kepublique" is being car ried to the German front lines in sausage meat and in other ways. Small vials containing the message on oiled paper are dropped in Ger many from allied airplanes and relatives who hope for peace and the lives of their men to be spared slip the messages into things they send to the troops. Many of those re ceiving the message surrender and surprisingly few spies have been found among their number. Information to this effect was given to-day to the house committee on postal expenditures, which was hearing a representative of the com mittee on public information on the propaganda campaign being car ried on in Germany by the allies. Propaganda pamphlets showing that the war aims of the allies are for the overthrow of the Prussian autocracy are being dropped from airplanes 200 and 300 miles behind the German front lines, the com mittee was told. Germans in Switzerland, working for a German republic, are also us ing their own methods to have troops surrender, giving the password "Ka marad Republique."
