I- think I am too fat..;l am five feet two inches tall and weih 150 pounds. Don't you think bo, too? AUo, is it the style to have bobbed hair and rolled down stockingH? Some of the girU do that in our town. I want to tha.nk you for making our paper o interesting and giving us a chance. GRACE. Wendell. Idaho. Yon are sorely generous in your words of cheer and appreciation. Please accept my thanks and I hope ity comer will continue to be interesting to you. If I were you I would not worry in the least about the few extra pounds jou are carrying. Probably your particular type needs them. I would suggest sug-gest 1hat if you are addicted to eating many "sweets" you avoid them ai much as possible and take plenty of outdoor exercise. If you should continue to gain 1 would advise j-ou to read the magazine "Physical Culture." I would not go so far as to say bobbed hair and rolled stockings are "good style, but "some" of the girls do it here, too. and 1 have heard that they do in other places, but it is really only a fad and is on the wane, for which I am truly grateful; aren't you 7 -. For they are not very attractive, do yon think?

While there Is no federal law in force pertaining to the manner of displacing, hanging, or saluting tbe United States tlsx. or prescribing any ceremonies that shoald be observed, there are many regulations and usages of national force bearing on the subject, sub-ject, among which are the following : In raising the flag it should never be rolled op and hoisted to the top of the staff before in-far in-far Ling. The flag should be free during the act of hoisting, which should be done quickly. It should not W hong where it can be contaminated con-taminated of noilrd easily, nor draped over chairs or benches for seating purposes, and no obiect or emblem cf any kind shotfld be placed apon It or above it. The flag should net be festooned ovrr doors or arches Always Al-ways Ut the flag hang straight. The flag should never be raided by any mechanical appliance. When the national colors are passing pas-sing on parades the spectators shonld. if waging, halt, and if sitting arise and stand at attention and uncover their heads. Old. fadei. or wornoat flags should not be uced for Banners or other secondary purpo-e?;. When no lonrer fit fr disr'ay the flag shovld be d-stroyrd privately.

So, dear Miss Brooks. I d trickled to death for information to "how to win his affection." With oodlta of love and many thanks, DEAN, Preston, Idaho. What an awful predicament to be in ! The United States is quite some place and I feel sur there are a number of lonesome people in it, so cheer up for if yo knew the cause of some of their loneliness yo might think you had no cause to be lonely at alL Now let's see about this nice young gentleman. He is an unselfish sort, isn t he. to exact a promise from yoo not to to out with other "nice young gentleman? Why not get him to make a similar promise u you? Now my dear, no doubt you think his affection is worth winning, and if so, let me give you a bit of advice, "Step oat" with I the nicest young man yoo know ana when your friend thirty miles away finds out you do not intend to be his slave, he will makeup, make-up, and if he has the least particle of affection affec-tion for you he will do quite differently front' the way he has been doing, 1 am sore. Do not for a moment think yco can win any man's affection by becoming his slave and being meek and submissive to all his wishes. ! And now let me whisper another bit of aa-vice aa-vice to you : A selfish man makes a moat' unsatisfactory husband, so when you fall in love select one who can giva a httle thought to you instead of himself |
