other side to the story.
A reader signing herself "M. O." pre

Woman sayr- to another, 'Really, I can't

Thank you, Twenty Tears Old, for telling
other girls they can have all the good times
they want without encouraging familiarity
of this kind. It may help them to read a

to think they must do.

There has been much said lately about kiss
ine. I would like our adtlce on the matter.
Why do you think It Is wrong? Does a man
think more of a clrl who does not let a man kiss
her than of the Blrl who does? I'AULINB.
Can you make good fudge? You might
make several pounds of it to send to the
young man in camp. Chocolate in cakes is
also easy to send and usually arrives in
good condition. A fruit cake Is full of
Christmas cheer. Why not fill a stocking
with all sorts of goodies in the wav of
candy, cake, crackers and fruit and several
funny and useful things. That would make
a delightful present.
It Is not, my dear, that there Is so much
wrong In an actual kiss. There Is not ; but
kissing la not apt to have a very quieting
effect on the emotions, lf I must speak
piaimy, una mue Bins or sixteen or
eighteen should not play with emotions. Ask
your mother to speak more plainly on the
subject If my answer does not satisfy you.
Personally I think a man does think more
of a girl who does not let a man kiss her
than of the girl who does.

O In
which the secretlne elands of the
mucous membrane of tho noso nao no
generated nnd In part disappeared, the re
sult of long-contlniiea Inflammation and
Infection. There are two kinds of theso
glands, those that secret serum and those
that form mucus. The serous glands dis
appear first, The result Is that the thick
mucus secretion accumulates and forms dry
hard masses which decompose and cause
erosions of tho mucous membrane and
finally ulcerations and, nfter some years,
even serious destruction of the nose. This
condition la accompanied by a very bad
odor of the breath and often hleedlng at tho
nose. There Is nn uncomfortable dryness
of the nasal passages and of the throat
dun to the enlarged space lcsultlng from
atrophy of the mucous membrane.
The complete cure of this condition Is o
rourvs not possible, but much can be done
to relievo Its Inconveniences. By dallj
cleansing and disinfection of the nose, die
fetor of tho breath may bo largely remoed
By application of a spray of vaseline, tin
icn?o of dryness may bo relieved. It Is
tomctlmes wise to Introdtico Into tho wid
ened nasal passages plugs of cotton to
diminish tho slzo of the inlet, nvery case
of this sort should be placed, for a time
at leasts under tho caro of a good nose
specialist.
A 'notablo fact about nasal catarrh Is that
the disease Is confined to houso dwellers.
Wild people, who Hvo in the open, do not
suffer from nasal catarrh. The same Ii
true of civilized men and women who live
In tho open air. Explorers and soldiers ir

colds and catarrh. Theso nro house dis

Catarrh was unknown. Porno of the chil

tho Indian parents attributed the catarrh tc

S. DAVIS.
Sunlight Is one of the most powerful of

In tho destruction of dangerous microbes,
the most of which are unable to resist the

The room In which the cold-water bath

bo all oer warm before any kind of cold
bath. Tor this reason the best time for
taking the bath Is Immediately upon rising,
while the body Is warm. If not warm, the
body should be warmed by taking a very
short hot bath before the cold one. A cold

The body must bo all over warm at tho

Cooking With Oil
A great deal of use can be made of oil
In cooking, and though the price of oil hns
risen considerably, It Is cheap to fry with
because It contains no water, like lard, but
ter or fat, and It wastes less when frying.
If care Is taken while frying not to burn
the oil It can bo strained after using through
n line strainer Into a clean basin, and when
cold should bo covered, and can be used
over nnd over again. Let It cool a little be
fore straining It
When using oil for frying that Is, deep
fat, put enough Into a clean, deep sauce
pan to half fill It Let It heat slowly, and
when a faint blue smoke rises from It
put In two or three of the articles you want
to fry at n time; let them color a golden
brown, tako them out, drain on clean
paper and dish.
Uses for Salt
Sprinkle a little salt In the skillet before
placing the fish In It to fry and It will not
stick to tho pan.
Make a Ilttlo salt bag and rub the grid
dle with It: pancakes will not stick and
there will be no smoke or odor.
Cakes may be prevented from burning
by sprinkling a little salt In tho bottom of
the oven.
Svhen grease or milk has been pplllea on
a hot stove tho odor arising from this may
be removed by sprinkling with salt.
Hgg stains on silver can be removed by
rubbing with a Ilttlo salt and a damp
cloth.

Some of the dressier long coats are
so closely related to one-piece
dresses in their modeling that they
hardly seem to come under the coat
classification. Consider the coat
illustrated. In design it differs
very little from the one-piece frock
and yet its purpose in life is to
servo as a wrap. The dropped

brown bolivia cloth is the material,
