MRS ttr ZAZTWTJ-TSON
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are four
young men, aged 21 to 24.
(1) How may I win the love ot a
lady two year my senior, who Uvea
at a distance?
(2) Do city girls make good farm
. era wires? '
(3) I It proper for the girl whom
yon are escorting to a party to talk
about the nice times she has had with
other fellows?
(4) How can I stop my fiancee from
chewing gum in my presence and
flirting with other men?
(6) Are we too young to get mar
ried? "FOUR PALS."
CD Write to her, send her little
presents, call on her as often as you
can. If it requires some little sacrifice
to call on her she will appreciate it
the more. Don't be afraid to say
pretty things to her and "show her
that you can appreciate a good woman
as well as support a wife.
. (2) Sometimes; but it's better to
choose a girl raised on a farm.
(3) It doesn't eem very good taste,
though that depends upon the way
she talks about It
(4) Do you chew tobacco? If you
do. make a bargain with her that youf
will stop tobacco if she will stop the
gum. If you don't chew, maybe you
can disgust her by chewing big wads
harder than she does and making
worse faces than she does, whenever
she is around. As for flirting with the
other fellows are you sure you are
not jealous? She has a right to
look at other men, and talk to them,
and even to be pleasant to them.
(5) If you are farmers, you need to
marry young.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: (DWhat
should one say when introducing a
boy and girl friend?
(2) What should the reply be when
a-gentleman asks you to dance?
' (3) "What fchould you say when he
thanks you for the dance?
(4) What kind of red material could
I get to trim a tan linen dress that
would not fade?
' (5) What color besides black and
white can be used to trim a lavender
dress? THANK YOU.
(1) "Mary, I want you to meet my
friend John," Or if you are quite
grown up: "Mary, permit me to to In
troduce my friend Mr. Smith. Mr.
Smith, Miss Brown."
(2) "Thank you, I shall be pleased."
(3) "It has been a pleasure to me
also."
(4) Bulgarian embroidery may be
had in red and will wash. It is very
fashionable now. You can have de
tachable trimming of silk or velvet, to
be taken off each time the dress is
laundered.
(5) Green trims lavender very well.
Bear Mrs. Thompson: "Please give
me a pie crust recipe.
BLUE EYES
Here Is a prize pie crust recipe, my
dear: Two cups sifted flour, nearly
a cup of lard; put sifted flour in bowl
with pinch of salt, add lard and mix
with knives (keep everything cold).
When well mixed add a little cold
water, drop by drop, mixing with knife
but not very much. Very little water
should be used not so much that
more flour must be added to roll out
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Do you
think a little girl of 10 years is too
young to go with a boy of 14?
P.A.L.
She is very much too young to be
thinking of a beau, but there is no
harm in the boy and girl being friends
and playing together.
club discusses plays,
the Inclement weather of
last evening prevented some of the
members of the Rock Island Dramatic
club from attending the meeting which
Was held in Odd Fellow ball, but
those who were present were very en
thusiastic and a number of important
matters pertaining to the club were
taken up. A committee composed ot
Miss Rae Rosensteln, Miss Alice Quln
an, Irving Wright and Morgan Sex
ton was appointed to choose from
three plays, one for production some
time in November. This committee
will get manuscripts at once and de
termine what shall be taken up for
study and production. A study de
partment was added to the club last
evening with the idea of keeping in
touch with all the newest dramas and
playa. A leader will be appointed for
each meeting to open the subject for
-THE HEALTH OF
SCHOOL CHILDREN
Thru Times as Many Die In Cities as
In the Country.
The strain upon young children dur
ing school hours is severe, and par
en's should have a care that the little
ones are strong enough to withstand
the strain. Every child should be well
nourished and the organs made to work
naturally, otherwise permanently in
jured health will result.
If the child Is sickly, run down, as
you call it. nine times out of ten it is
because of carelessness In protection
from the weather. If the child has a
cold, be careful of the medicine you
use. Above all.be sure that it is pure,
that It is not a mere compound of stim
ulants or dangerous drugs, such as
morphine, alcohol, etc, contained La
patent medicines.
For a family medicine, a cure for
the child's cold, a food for the little
body, something that will give v!or
and stamina to the system. Father
John's Medicine is unequalled. Its
merits can be stated in such unquali
fied terms because it has been tried
and tested for half a century, since it
waa recommended by Rev. Fr. John
O'Brien, of Lowell, Mass., for whom
it was prescribed.
No better proof of its value for chil
dren is necessary than the fact that It
has bean used in St Peter's orphan
asylum. Lowell, Mass, for years, and
Is today. It would be Impossible to
find a healthier lot of children than
the little ones so well and kindly car
ed tor at this institution. (Adv.)
general discussion. A committee com
posed of Mies Natalie Ash, Miss Dor
othy Simpson, Miss Grace Griswold,
John Smith, Mat Pleasants and Em-
mett Galvin was appointed to draw
up bylaws for the guidance of the
club. The club will hold its next meet
ing Monday, Oct 6, at Odd Fellows'
hall.

Galesburg, 111., Sept 18. Formal op
ening of the business session of the
Central Illinois Conference of the
Methodist church was made yesterday
morning in the auditorium of the new
Methodist church, by Bishop Wm. F.
McDowell es presiding officer. The
business meeting of the conference
was preceded by the sacrament ad'
ministered by the bishop. Secretary
Bartle called the roll of the conference
and following this the conference paid
a tribute of respect to members de
ceased during the past year. -.
Rev: Josiah B. Bartle of Aledo, was
re-elected secretary of the conference
by acclamation, and named the fol
lowing as assistants: W. H. Witter, H.
W. Bell, G. E. Alford and J. L. Shlve-
ly.
Rev. Vincent Aten was again named
statistical secretary, and chose the fol
losing as his assistants: J. C. Craine,
J. E. Jackson, N. D. . Hanes, H. F.

made: plea for support.
Dr. Dickson, secretary of the board
of education, was introduced to the
conference and made a plea for finan
cial support for the colleges of the de-
nominaticn. "Why do our colleges get .
in debt and stay in debt? Why come
these numerous calls for assistance? I
have just completed an investigation
with reference to this matter and I
have found the reason w"hy. I found
that our students cost on an average
per year $140 while we get back in
tuition fees, contributions, collections
and from every source an average of
$99.50. That means that for all our in
stitutions we must find a million and
a half more each year than we get. In
order to bring bur institutions to the
same standard of efficiency the state
maintains we should have an increase
of endowment of 8167,000,000. The
state is paying $303 per year per pupil.
We are getting our pupils educated for
$140 because of the sacrifices our no
ble teacher are making. We can in
crease our endowments. It . 'ight to be
done and you can do it."
RRPORTS FROM DISTRICTS.
Reports of district superintendents
were then presented. O. T. Dwinelj of

ference in increasing the circulation

raised to 40,000 copies and he predict
ed 60,000 by the next conference meet
ing. "We are doing a mighty big
business on small capital," he said.
R. B. Williams, superintendent ot
the Pontiac district, then read his re

One More Day (Friday) of the McCabe
; Millinery Opening.
The greatest success of years. Many
of the most striking hats Rock Island has ever
seen; Large, medium or small as my lady
desires; Never so mlich enthusiasm shown
by women of the three cities at any former
exhibit. Hats, smart and dignified. Inter
pretations of Marcelle- Demay, Alphonsine,
V Georgette, Lewis, Madam Carlier and other
4 noted designers.
f Many very extreme styles are shown
along with the more conservative creations,
but all are approved by fashion critics.
There are Toques, and Tams in endless
variety. The new Tams are in many modish
shapes and are treated in such a variety of
ways as to give widest scope to display
originality of design.
The Autumn trimmings are as varied as
the shapes: Aigrettes, Butterflies, new and
novel plumage, both natural and artificial,
Cabachons, buckles, little tufts or feathers,
posed like Aigrettes at the tip of along stem;
there Is also much Tulle and ribbons on semi-dress hats; Alphonsine
seems to prefer flowers, while Demay 'and Lewis use more of the lofty
feathers and stick-ups of tremendous height. "
There are some picture hats, extremely short on one side and exaggeratedly
high on the other. These high brims may be covered with feathers, which droop
even down over the shoulders. There is much jet and laceand yet the story is only
begun. Ladies who wear c!"issy, exclusive millinery and will be satisfied with
noth'ng but correctness, should plan for their millinery while the selection is so com
p'ete. Nearly 30 expert trimmers and salespeople in this department ready to see
that every detail is carried to satisfaction.

FALL TIME TO STOCK KITCHEV.
Another one of those commonplace
things we wrote about for this month
of September is the replenishing of
housekeeping conveniences and uten
sils. Discarding the old and worn-out
or put of date tools and putting in
place the most thoroughly up-to-date
ones which can be bought.
These accessories should never be
chosen in a haphazard manner. Surely
a woman who is alive and thinking
today is not using heavy pots and
pans, either heavy to handle or hard
to wash. Who would use an iron
spider which is heavy and porous ab
sorbing grease and odors of all foods
which have even been cooked in it,
when a light steel spider or an alumi
num one 1b on sale at every house fur
nishing department, and much more
attractive to look at.
Make the kitchen, as in other parts
of the house, a process of elimination
rather than accumulation. Think of
the useless utensils in drawers and on
pantry shelves which are never used.
Either find out they are perfectly use
less and relegate them to ttfe waste
basket or use them. There are too
many tools lying around this working
laboratory of the home which makes
extra work to handle and do not add
to efficiency engineering of the home
or housekeeping.
SOW TIME TO ME.n.
This is just the" time to mend our
ways in these respecta at the begin
ning of the cooler season when we do
more or less rearranging and reorgan
izing in our homes after the relaxation
of- the hot summer months.
The very best way is for the
woman in the home to study easy
methods of work and when she sees
or thinks while working of a labor
saving or necessary new utensil, make
"BcReasonable"
with your Stomach and it
will always serve you well,
but If you have been care
less and allowed weakness
to develop, take

Dyspepsia, Constipation and
Biliousness, also Malaria.
a note of it. Then at any time one or
more may be purchased and the extra
expense will hardly be noticed.
Among things which will help in
this readjustment Is selecting utensils
which will answer several purposes.
For Instance, a uew roaster is neces
sary. An aluminum one may cost a
little more at the time, but means two
baking pans instead of one, as the cov
er Is a real pan. Fruit may be canned
in it, standing pint Jars on the rack
and turning it upside down for the .
quart jars. Then with plenty of boil
ing water in the pan over a Are or In
the oven,' or Are turned out entirely
and covered, fruit is canned by the
steam process.
The bread mixer Is not only useful
and necessary for bread making, but
is fine for mixing the fruit cakes and'
plum puddings.
Who Kvould mash potatoes the old
hard way when a fruit press or a po
tato slicer will do it in one-fourth the
time and that much less effort and
better, besides pressing juice from
fruits. A new and simple necessity is
a milk bottle opener and stopper com
bined made of wood and easily kept
clean. There are some, also, made ot
aluminum. We like things which will
add to the attractiveness of our table
also. When I traveled abroad last
year our butter was served In pretty
shell-like forms. I was sure it waa
made with a butter curler, which I
knew was being sold in our own city.
I had one in my possession at least a
year before going there. So I managed
in Paris to have the utensil brought
me to see, and, sure enough, It was
the same. . Many women were pur
chasing and bringing them home. The
newest and beBt things are all here, at
tractive and useful, waiting your . se
lect ion, but don't forget the elimina
tion process before you begin to buy
the newest tools and then use them
and take care of them.
The old saying surely Is A great
help, "A place for everything and
everything in Its place."
