Score* of people lose tlsfeir chance*
of being happily married through milt
ing an Unnecessary obstacle of mon
ey. The Importance of it is often ex
aggerated. Many a man hesitates to
propose to a girl because of his small
Income. Very often much misery, mis
understanding, and tangled lives result
from the alienee More unfortunate
love affairs are the result of what hat
not been said than of spoken words.
When a man has a small, sure In
come, and a prospect of increase,
there Is no legitimate reason for his
not speaking of his love; no reason
for that matter, to present marriage
People are so desperately afraid,
though, of beginning married life in s
stnair way. They fear the sacrifices
which they will be called upon to makt
—o* the criticism to which they will
be suojected. Many years of happl
ness are lost In this way. It Is such
a mistake for young people to want tc

Chinese Girl Wno Always Wears a
Native Costume and MaUes
Fine Fudge.
Miss Alice Chang, the second daugb
ter o'' the minister of China, and '
Mine Chang, and a quaint little Orien j
tal If! 1 y of Washington's diplomatic
set, \\ias the center of attraction ths
other day on the occasion of the
chris- ting of the Chinese cruiser
Feih- •■?, at Philadelphia. The B'et
hung :g the first Chinese warship of
Amen an construe- on, and little Miss
Chang proudly stood sponsor for It.
The minister and Mme. Chang a©
companled their daughter to Philadel
phia for the ceremony, also taking
their elder daughter, Miss Lily Chang,
and their son and his wife, the secre
tary of the legation and Mme. Henry
Cbang.
Miss Chang, whose Chinese name Is
Tuyl Chang, is a diminutive little
woman of sixteen summers, and has
acquired a number of Occidental man
nerisms during her sojourn in this
country.
Miss Alice and her older sister are
favorites with the young official set.
The feminine members of the various
legations and embassies rarely enter

guest or an assistant hostess. On all
occasions Miss Alice wears her native
garb.
To many of her American friends
she has confided that she feels freer
in them than she would in the clothes
the young maidens of this country
wear. At nearly all of the young
people’s gatherings which MI33 Alice
attends she Is elected the fudge mak
er, as she has the reputation of ex
celling in this art.
NO MAN-FLY ON MONUMENT
Great Commotion at Capita! on Re
port That New Yorker Waa
Scaling Shaft.
Rumors that a New York “human
fly," who has been scaling office build
ings In that city, was climbing the
aide of the 555-foot Washington monu
ment, gave this city no end of excite
Mat the other day.
Someone discovered a black spot on
the side of the shaft, about 150 foot
from the top. and then the report
started.
Hundred* rushed toward the moau
maBt gassmds, a half mile from the
center at the olty. Aloag Pennsyl
vania svs—s crowds ooltscted at ov
ary corner and windows mad door
ways rapidly filled with people.
Newspaper photographers, who
wore early on the scone, and other
Investigators brought back word that
the supposed figure was only a spot
(eft by last night’s heavy rain; but up
to an early hour gazers on Pennsyl
vania avenue still insisted they could
see the figure move.
The war department, which con
trols the monument, was besieged
with telephone calls.
Nearly three hours after the first
explanation a telephone message from
the capitol said that congressmen
were watching the spot through opera
glasses, and were convinced it occa
sionally moved a little.
Has No Jurisdiction.
One of Representative Kahn’s Cali
fornia constituents wrote to him not
long ago inclosing blue prints of a de
vice he had thought up for “scrutinis
ing heavenly bodies,’’ as he put it.
He wished to have an appropriation
of a minion dollars or so from con
gress to perfect his device, so that th#
humblest cltisen could know Just
what Is going on In Mars and various
celestial points.
Kahn didn’t like to offend the maa
with a flat refusal of congress to ap
proprlate this money, and he put It to
him tike this:
"We have gone over the situation
carefully, and the best lawyers among
us are of the opinion that we can do
nothing for the reason that congress
has no Jurisdiction over heavenly
bodies.”
Stimulating Effect of Advertising.
And one of the most wonderful
things about advertising Is the stimu- ;
lating effect It has on the advertiser,
whether it be ston factory or city.
Haven’t you noticed that the merchant,
who advertises in s: rong and effective
fashion is the one whose goods are
well displayed in spotless store,
whose business m- hods are sound,
whose merchandise measures up to
the highest stand rd?—Herbert t

CARDUI WORKED
LIKE_A CHARM
After Operation Failed to Help,
Cardui Worked Like a Charm.
Jenesvllle, S. C.—"I suffered wit!
womanly trouble,” writes Mrs. J. S
Kendrick, ;n a letter from this place
'‘and at times, I could not bear to stand
on my feet. The doctor said I would
never be any better, and that I would
have to have an operation, or I would
have a cancer.
I went to the hospital, and they opcr
ated on me, but I got no better. The}
said medicines would do me no good
and I thought I would have to die.
At last I tried Cardul, and began U
improve, so I continued using It. Now
I am well, and can do my own work
I don’t feel any pains.
Cardul worked like a charm.”
There must be merit In this pnrelj

Salves Can t Cure Eczema
In regard to skin diseases, medical
authorities are now agreed on this:
Don’t imprison the disease germs In
your skin by the use of greasy salves,
and thus encourage them to multiply.
A true cure of all eczematous diseases
can be brought about only by using
the healing agents in the form of a
1 liquid.
WASH THE GERMS OUT.
A simple wash: A compound of Oil
of Wintergreen, Thymol, and other In
gredients as combined in the D.D.D.
I Prescription. This penetrates to the
disease germs and destroys them, thelt
soothes and heals the skin, as nothin#
else has ever done.
A 50 cent bottle will start the cur#
and give you instant relief.
We have made fast friends of mor#
than one family by recommendatin#
this D.D.D. Prescription to a skin suf
ferer here and there, and we want you
to try It now on our positive pay guar
