We are all so used to specialists in medicine that we may wonder what is left for the general prac- titioner to do. As a matter of fact. the general practitioner has more to do. more ground to cover. than at any previous time in history. He must know something about all the specialties in medicine.

In the first place, the general practitioner sees the patient first and sees the symptoms present in the early stages. He knows then exactly. or as well as is humanly pouible. Just which specialist should be consulted.

In former days a patient was normal. or sane. or as he was ab- normal, or crazy. Today. the gen- eral practitioner is able to help patients with early signs of mental disturbance because he usually knows the background of the pat- ient and the circumstances which

Q. Is it all right for an unmar- ried woman to attach the title "Miss" to her name when signing a. letter?

A. only if the title is enclosed in parentheses. as. "iXvIlS5) Ruth Thompson." Generally. if the writ- er slgns her name merely "Ruth Thompson." it is taken for granted that she is unmarried. However. if she wishes to be sure that the re- ply to her is addressed properly. she will include the title as above.

Q. Is it necessary, when taking leave of a group to which one has been introduced. to bid each one "good-by" separately?

A. No. A cordial "good-by" with a smile that includes everyone is all that is necessary.

EI.l.Ell'S DIARY By An mans Farmers mu

In spite of the bustle of this Christmas season on the farm not that every interest is relative to it. but then always synonomous it seems; we take time to insure that no fire will mar the happi- ness of the Christmastlde. At least to the best of our ability and knowledge we take care to elimin- ate every potential hazard. The periodic cleaning of the kitchen stove-pipes continues, though we confess we usually find this comes in an inconvenient time u re- gards ouir comfort and housework. It is brought on at a period so early in the day that breakfast- less our will to work is at a low ebb.

And James is bound to select a morning. following a day when we had entered upon a. spirited spell of cleaning. and the house is waxed and shining. Our in the endeavour receives a stimu- lus however when he, spying our feeble efforts, reminds us "Now. none of that half-hearted stuff. Ellen - see that you give that piece of pipe a thorough cleaning!" when one is assistant to James there is no shirklng of duty. not though a di.-izzle may prevail drearily, and a wind of the north. a. piercing. relentless, gusty affair bear down over the fields upon one. And "Ah. James!" we may sigh. watching him plunge a clean-clad arm up to the "hilt in the sooty depths of his pieces. But "Never mind me. Ellen!" he will say with spirit "just you get that one done! Better to have a soiled shirt-sleeve, than a clean one and no roof over our heads!" 0 O 0 Extra precautions -- if such can he. were taken at the time of the wiring. "I'm not worrying about how long you take - but see that you make it safe . . that there will be no danger of fire" was James' reminder to the workmen, a request that must have been well carried out. Or so we believc from a conversation that drifted up to us from the lower regions of the house one day while we were busy spreading the table above. It was the reply made by one of the electricians to 9. question asked by a visiting craftsman and was rel- ative to an instwation within the cellar there. "Oh" he said, earnestly "we gave it everything we had in the way of safety precautions... you see the old ones here seem to be 'touched' on the subject of Fire'." And the female of these. chuckled to her- self. and placed his knife and fork with extra precision and respect. 0 O 0

It is on account of "the subject of Fire" that James listened in- tently to a juvenile conversation recently when granddaughter and Jamie chatted over an intriguing event to come. "We're going to hang beaut-i-ful lights on our tree this yearl" she sparkled. "Huh! I bet they won't be nearly so pretty as ours" he retorted "besides. we had them last year on ours.' 'James looked over his glasses to offer "What's this I hear? Lights on trees! Guess you'd better not, that is unless an electrician puts them on for you! Did you know" he ask- ed speaking gravely "a tree so tall it reaches near to the ceiling will burn in the matter of a few se-

conds. . . every needle of it, if a spark catches. Yes. sir - they're just like so much tinder - trees

are. And no Christmas passes with- out its toll of fires a mostly pre- ventable if only folks had taken a little precaution with the trees and other decorations. Ellen "he appealed to us "we mustn't encour- age them to put lights. . .of any sort on their trees. We should be long sorry if anything happened." I C C

Philandering Woman

Men Advised

Not To Wed.

Chronic Double-Crosser l

DEAR MISS DIX: My first marriage ended disasirously for the reason that although I was good and kind to my wife and gave her

every luxury. she was un;lnithfu'l to

me. Recently I have met I young

widow whom I am thinking of marrying, but she has confessed to me that during her previous marriage and since her huwand's death. she

has had numerous affairs with other men.

My problem is this: Is it

likely that a woman 'Wlh0 had been untrue to her first husband. and

or the grave.

more or less promiscuous since. will be likely to be faithful to any man?

ANSWER: Not a chance. The philandering wo- man is even more incurable than the phiiandering man for. after all. the feminine sex is restless and dissatisfied by nature. and once a woman starts out on a life of adventure. nothing stops her but age

B.B.

CAN'T TRUST HER

Of course. the double-crossers in love are no more to be trusted than the cheaters in business. Honor and honesty are a matter of prin- ciple ingrained in the character and a man or woman either possesses them or lacks them, and if -they lack them it is just too bad for those they marry. but there is nothing they can do about it.

It is only superhuman vanity that makes a. man and woman think that they have some superlative dharm that will make those who have

been false to everyone else true to

them. No one possesses this fatal

fascination for a philanderer. for what he or sit seeks is novelty. change and new sensations. and no one person can supply these demands.

The woman who marries a philanderer takes a big chance at hap- pincss. Heaven knows. but a man who marries a woman philanderer just asks for trouble. And gets it. A man may have little affairs with women that just tickle his vanity and are merely skin deep, so to speak. but a woman's disloyalty to her husband goes to the bone and when she chucks her bonnet over the windmill she throws with it all of her

THE auguries are excellent for a pleasant. joyous and festive state of affairs. with much in the way of domestic and social celebration. but there are several indications of carrying these beyond bounds. This by way of over indulgences. with hint of ill temper, unruly emotions and feelings pitched to indiscretions and bad taste. shun overdisplay and prodigality.

If It Is Your Birthday

Those whose birthday it is are in line for promotion. increased funds and many openirus for ad- vancement. with expansive assist- ance and tokens of preferment from those in influerfiial positions. Be careful not to spoil any such excellent prospects by unruly or indiscreet actions. or by over-doing in social. business or reckless in- dulgences. Keep mm check on feelings and emoti in all con-

tocts.

A child born on this day may be disposed to overdo in its expendi- tures, vitality and other nwlso extravagances. its feellma and

Q. How can I prevent articles from going down the furnace reg- later?

A. Insert a piece of wire net- ting inside the register hole. re- place the register plate. and it will prevent many articles from going down the pipe. This is particularly advisable if there are children around the house. This wire net- ting should not be of a fine mesh. or it will retard the heat that comes through the pipe and has a tendency to burn out the furnace.

Q. How can I make a cement for celluloid?

A. Use 1 part oamphor. 4 parts alcohol. Dissolve and add to this solution an equal quantity, by weight. of shellac.

Q. How can I remove scorch marks from fireproof dishes?

A. soak the dishes in a strong solution of burn water .'I'he marks can then be easily rubbed. off.

For two years the island in the Chesapeake had been deserted save for old King and the setter, Ruff. with the dog for company and his fishing and care of the island as leisurely occupation, old King had been content. It was I-luff who grew restless now and then. cocking an ear as if to catch the faint echo of some familiar sound. or whining at the edge of the wharf when old King left him alone on the island.

It was on one of these lonely days in October that Ruff. as he -waited on the pier for the return of the old negro. was aware of the ap- proach of a speed boat making for

the island. There were two women in it. The one at the wheel was slender. her hair bright against the blue of her reefer. As the boat curv- cri towards the landing place she said. "Vicky. it is Charles' dog."
