ReadiivJ aivd all the [lPjff Life's Problems Are Discussed ) BY MR)S. WILSON WOODKOW No man is a hero to his valet, runs the old saying: and fewer still are lieroes to their -wives. But to the woman who is closely associated with him in his business —his private secretary, confidential clerk, or cashier —a man is seldom less than a demi-god. That is, unless he is really a demi-god. and even some dcmi-gods get the favorable rating. 'He is simply wonderful.'' this woman will tell you in hushed, wor shipful tones. "No other man in the world could accomplish what he is doing." Or if she inclines more to the vernacular: "Say. if you're looking for the real stuff, you've got to hand it to my boss. He's a go-getter from Uo-getterville. believe me!" And there's a reason for it. The man at business is the man in action. He is the modern expres sion of the eternal masculine —the stalker and slayer, a lineal descend ant of that Nimrod, son of Cash, who was a mighty hunter before the l.ord. His wife sees him only when he returns at night to the family lodge, spent and wearied by the efforts he has put forth, all the edge of his en thusiasm dulled. His step is lag sard and his speech slow, if the hunting has been good, he dumps down his spoil at the door and gives himself over to rest and relaxation. If on the other hand things have gone badly with him, he is apt to be crabed and fault-finding. He may endeavor to show an in terest in the affairs of the house hold. but it'is perfunctory, tepid at the best, things so much more vital and absorbing have been occupying his attention. And equally his wife .voon begins to yawn if he starts to tell what he has been doing. There is little excitement for her in the bare, prosaic recital of his adven tures after she has learned the Cocoanut Oil Makes A Splendid Shampoo If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hatr brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than the most expen sive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly Injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two tcaspoonfuls will make an abund ance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thor oughly. The lather rinses out eas ily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is onough to last everyone in the fam ily for months. EDUCATIONAL School of Commerce AND Harrisburg Business College Troop Bulldta*. IS S. Market s.

But the woman who accompanies I him on the hunt and acts as his quiver-bearer has a different exper ' ience. She sees him eager, alert, I keyed up to a supreme passion. She 1 watches him lay his snares and plan the subtle ruses by which he hopes to overmatch some cunning adver sary. She crouches with bated breath as he engages in combat with some ponderous, grizzly or snal'ling mountain lion, and thrills with tri umph as he emerges a victor. She comprehends and is able to sym pathize with his defeats and disap pointments. In a word, she actually sees his i performance, with all its hazards ! and dangers, whereas the wife only hears a tired man's story of it aft -ler all the hazard and danger are ; over. ; And as an example of the differ ' ent impressions created by seeing lor hearing about a thing 1 am re \ minded of a play which was pro duced on Broadway some years ago and the plot of which turned upon a murder committed some years pre vious to the real action of the story. As originally presented, this mur der was simply described in a con versation during the first act, and the play promptly proved a failure, j Then some one suggested that a pro logue be added, allowing the audi ! ence to see the actual commission iof the crime. Immediately the tide j turned and the piece scored a tre | mendous success. It is only the woman who sees a I man in action that can rate him at j his true worth. She is able to real ' ize the odds against which he is battling, the keen mental processes I he brings to bear upon his prob lems, all the give-and-take of the .contest: and she admires him. as ' woman from time immemorial has i admired the fighting qualities of | man. Bernard Shaw, with his unerring !scent for human foibles, has drawn very clearly this contrast between the attitudes of the wife and the ' private secretary in his "Candida." The reader there beholding the hus band through the eyes of Candida sees him as a prating windbag, a - No Trouble to Remove Superfluous Hair (Toilet Tips) It is an easy njatter to rid the skin of objectionable hair or fuzz, :if you proceed as follows: Mix a paste with some water and a little : powdered delatone, apply to hairy j surface and in 2 or 3 minutes rub off. wash the skin and the hairs arc gone. This method of banishing hairy growths is painless and loes not mar the skin, but to avoid dis -1 appointment, be certain to get real i delatone. ■ i | self-deceived hypocrite: yet it is also I ' made plain that Prossy, the private i ; secretary, regarded him as some- | ; thing _ approaching the sublime. And, perhaps. Prossy had as much ' reason for her opinion as Candida had for hers: since we all are very j apt to show to another person the side of our characters which that j person brings out. j Shaw makes his Prossy in love i with the husband, but that does not i necessarily follow. More often than j j not, indeed, the facts are directly the reverse. It is the wife who sees ; his faults, that is fond of him; the woman who sees only his virtues, that is indifferent. After all. there is I a good deal of the marble statue ' about a demi-god. It does not ex- | actly fit in with home comforts, and ! one would hesitate even in the throes i of neuralgia to ask it to get the hot- i i water bag. There might be more happy mar- 1 . riages, though, if somehow the | I wives could gain a composite por- j trait which included the demi-god j I features: if they could be made to ! ! understand that the unromantic fig ure which goes "down to business" J every morning is possibly facing risks as dauntlessl.v and displaying j I a silent grit which would put to the | blush any "movie" hero over whose I exploits they gasp and thrill. | Daily Fashion J | Hint 11 |j[ Prepared Especially For This Newspaper L\ A. . \ It A SMART APRON.

THE FOUR OF HEARTS A SERIAL OP YOUTH AND ROMANCE By VIRGINIA VAN DE WATER V CHAPTER XXXVn Copyright. 1918, Star Co. Milton Van Saun declined to come I in when the quartet reached the Liiv | ingstone house on their return from | the Philharmonic concert. "Dora says she is sleepy," he re j marked. "Thefefore, I think it's best I for me to let her go to bed at once." "Sensible boy!" Dora approved. "Let Oscar drive you around j home, Milton," Mrs. Livingstone i advised. "Thanks. I will." the young man J agreed. Then, when the front door ! was opened by the butler, he said j good night and ran lightly down the steps. He had shaken hands with Cyn ! thia, as he had with Mrs. Living stone, in a casual way, not with the j lingering pressure to which the girl had become accustomed. He and I her aunt had had a little low-voiced ( talk coming down the aisle of Car- I negie Hall. What had she said to jhim? No matter! Cynthia was en ! gaged to another man. I The lower floor was dark except for the lights in the hall. Mrs. Liv ini?stone and the girls went directly upstairs. "Dad has a light in his den," Dora announced as they reached the first landing. "I wonder if Gerald is in there with him," she added hopefully. Pushing the door open she glanced I in. "Oh, bother!" she regretted. | "Gerald has gone!" Her mother spoke sharply. "Dor! j 1 wish you would not talk in that ' way of Mr. Stewart. He is nothing to you, and you are as little to him. I Such seeming admiration on your j part is in wretched taste." Cynthia waited to hear no more, i but hurried on into her own room and closed the door. Throwing off her evening cloak, she sank down into a big chair, and, laying her head wearily back, closed her eyes. She was in a tangled mesh of circumstances that tired ami puzzled her. Mrs. Livingstone's reproof to her daughter was certain ly undeserved. It was plain that Dora liked Gerald—but surely she had a right to like the friend of the man to whom she was engaged. Pore Conies In How cold Milton's manner had been when he said good-night! But it made no difference anyhow. As Mrs. Livingstone had just affirmed about Dora and Gerald. Milton Van Saun and Cynthia Long were less than nothing to each other. Cynthia must soon tell Dora of her engagement. She hoped the girl would make it easy for her to do so. Somehow Cynthia shrank from con fiding the facts to her cousin.- Yet j it was ridiculous for her to feel this. She must get used'to conditions and the sooner the better. She would try to confide in Dora this very ! night. She heard Dora go into her own room, then the door of the little j ante-chamber was opened suddenly ! and violently. "May I come in, Cyn?" Dora i asked brusquely, and entered with- , out waiting for a reply. Her face was flushed and her eyes flashed. "Mother drives me wild!" she burst forth. "She watched me as j Daily Dot Puzzle ? 19 •*> '7* * , 2 . 2 l '. 4 : j • ; a *• 4 - 2 \ fc to •. 12 * 26 .

She need ■ not trouble herself. I am going t to see the thing through." I "Dora, dear!' 1 Cynthia forgot her. i self for the moment in consterna [ ] tion at her cousin's manner. "Don't ! j talk like that about marrying Mil | ton. You speak as if you cared | j nothing for him." j "Oh, of course I like Milton," Dora [ began, "but I do get tired of moth ! J er's everlasting" i She stopped abruptly as a knock ' j came at the door. ' j "Come in," Cynthia called. ' I Mrs. Livingstone stood in the door -1 way. She did not speak to Dora, but to her niece. i "Cynthia, your uncle would like to have a talk with you in his den. ' ! Come in at once, please, my dear." Cynthia rose, started to obey, then j stopped. Mrs. Livingstone had gone • j and was already on her way back | ; to her husband. "What under the sun's up?" Dora (speculated. Seeing the look on Cyn thia's face, she tried to draw her to her. "Cyn—dear Cyn—what's the I matter? What's happened?" But Cynthia did not yield to the j caress. I "Don't pet me or pity me. dear," i she said, unsteadily. "I cannot bear !it just yet. and I must not break | down. Dora—did you know—has I any one told you how poor I am? j Did you know that all father's for ! tune is gone—and that I am almost | entirely dependent upon your father 1 —that he has even paid some old | debts that my father meant to pay —but—died before he was able to do so?" Dora gasped. *'Xo!" she ejacu lated. "Oh, you poor dear, when did it happen? How long have you known about it?" "I've known it for some time," Cynthia replied slowly. "I said nothing about it to you. because I could not bring myself to speak of. it. But I wanted you to know the state of affairs with me—before— well. 1 wanted you to know it," she ended lamely. "You see how much I owe your father.. I have been un der obligations to him for a home—• for everything." • This time she could not resist Dora's embrace, for the girl flung her arms about her cousin impetu ously." "You poor darling." she exclaim ed. "That has been worrying you all this time and I never knew it! jWho cares anyway? You shall come and live with me just as soon as we are married. It will be much more fun than for me to live alone with Milton. And Milton would love it, too, for he likes you an awful lot, you know. Cyn." It was Cynthia's turn to gasp. This was the girl who was sup posed to be jealous of her be- Jthrothed's liking for her cousin! It • was all a mystery. (To Be Continued) j Eat Less Bread i Every time that you eat a nour ishing but breadless meal, you deal a blow to the enemy as surely as though you fired a gun across No Man's Land. The United States Food Admin istration is bending its energies par ticularly to the matter of saving wheat during the next few months. Grain must go across the sea to our troops in France and to the Al lied nations with whom we are fight ing against Germany, in vast quan titles if the war is to go on. Our surplus of wheat is exhaust led and the people of the United States must save from their own sup | ply at least 75,000,000 bushels to j ship between now and the next har vest. The simplest way to save is to stop using bread 'in the casual, general way to which we are accustomed. Victory bread, substitute mixed bread, graham bread, wholewheat and what not in the way of breads are being recommended and receipts are being suggested for them. All these are good and should be used when necessary, but it is better still to cut down the dally consump tion of bread and to eliminate the thoughtless habit of eating it to fill in jdle moments at the table. In England/ the public eating places of all types and degrees of expensiveness serve one slice with each meal. No more is to be had for any price. • In France, where bread made up more than fifty per cent, of the en tire amount of food eaten in pre war days, the daily allowance is as pitifully small. The same holds true in Italy and In the latter eountrv, people are being denied the maca roni which in some sections has con stituted the main article of diet. To make matters worse over there, other foods are scarce as well as wheat. In the United States, tlisre is no lack of other foodstuffs. A Hoe For Every Home The hoe has become a weapon of war. The food situation was never more serious than now. Saving food is one solution of the world shortage: substitution is another, but equally important is the spring edict from the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the U. S. Food Administration that the county must plant and pro duce more food this year than ever before. The urgency of this demand must be appreciated and acted upon promptly by every home in Amer ica. Every householder with even a little land to spare should buy a hoe. The hoe should become the symbol of a self-sustair.ing house hold as regards garden foods. Every peck of potatoes and every pint of peas brought in from the backyard releases that much more for the cur rent market and saves that much to ship abroad. Almost every home has some member who can devote a little time each day to the hoe. This should be considered as much a part of patriotism as to buy thrift stamps or to knit for the soldiers. It is nec essary to do our part to finance this war, but of what avail to furnish i money if we fail to feed the army! and the civilians who are waging It? The allied countries have little left on the credit side of their food ledger after nearly four years of war, Canada has sent during these years every particle of food she could | possibly spare. It has now become America's part Jo be the bread basket for the world. This means that America must save and stretch and produce foodstuffs as never before in all her history. It means that the shipping shortage should be considered carefully in saving certain foods and substitut ing others for home consumption. It means that the rail congestion should be thought of in the selec tion of those foods nearest at hand. And above all, it means that every home with available land should pro duce enough garden foodstuffs this summer to feed itself and to can and store for the winter ahead. Every home should have a hoe and every member of the horue should 1 see to it that he has done his part in fur nishing the family larder with garden produce.

Mrs. Killer's Will The principal question before the court under all these proceedings was the interpretation of the will of Charles D. Kaier, deceased. Margaret C. Kaier, the wife, who survived him, named as legatees under her will only four of the children of this family, and these children who took under, the will of Margaret C. Kaier contended that under the will of Charles D. Kaier she took an abso lute estate in all his personal and real property because Charles D. Kaier bequeathed to his wife the whole of his estate with the right to consume. The decision handed down con strues the will of Charles D. Kaier to the effect that the widow only took a life estate in his property, which consisted of a large brewing property, bank stocks, real estate and other securities valued at some thing like half a million dollars. The decision of the court is that all of the assets possessed by Charles D. Kaier at the time of his death are the property of the estate of Charles D.
