THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE. ADVICE TO GIRLS By Rosalind KmgUttnd AceorMnt to tht Copy right Act Dear Oirls:â€" This la just a little personal note to all my readers â€" ^to tell you that I am glad yon lllce the column and to assure yoa that I am enjoying It very much myself. I have heard people sneer at columns such as oura, but that was because those people never reaUzed that there are thousands of people who have no one to whom they may turn for advice; and because these scoffers did not know that even if one has plenty of advisers there are some things It is heaps easier to tell to a stranger. I know that three-quarters of my letters come just because I do not know the people who write or the circum- stances which have caused them to seek advice. But whatever your reason for writing, I am glad to do what I can, and I shaU advise you to the best of my ability on whatever subject you choose to talk about. Your letters have to be forwarded to me and I find that quite a number have gone astray. Please write again, and mark your en- velope very plainly, "To KosSr- lind. 516 Mf""<"g Chambers, To- ronto." BOSALIND. Dear Bosalind: â€" I have seen your advice to girls and as I am u» trouble and have no mother to turn to, I seek your advice. I am 16 years of age, and moat people con- sider me pretty. 1 have a number of boy friends, one o£ whom I think a great deal of. He is very refined and gentlemanly and is nearly 18. A short time ago he proposed to me. I told him I would have to consider it. I really love him dearly and I am sure he loves me. Should I accept himi Ol course we intend to wait a few years yet. Hoping to see my answer in the paper soon. TESSIE. Dear Tessie: â€" I am BO sorry there is no mother to talk it over with. Just look around, Tessie, and see if there isn't some dear, sympathetic friend that will give you just the helpful counsel you need. I am quite, quite sure you are too young to be engaged. Such an early engage- ment would cheat you out of years of good times and make you mature and settled far too soon. Boy friends are splendid things for girls to have and I am sure you could have plenty. Have joUy good fun with them aU and get in with a good bunch of young folks who go out together. When you are 20 is plenty of time to think about "real proposals." Write me again and tell me more about the young folks in the town. EOSAtlND. Dear Bosalind: â€" It is unusual for me to apply through these columns for any assist- ance, yet if any good can be rendered your favors wiU be much appreciated. I am one of those young men who who has not to any extent courted the favors and company of young ladies, for one reason that under the present restricted social conventionality it is somewhat difficult to become intro- duced to a real nice young lady, more particularly as I am rooming out. A man who is refined and respectful will hardly converse with any girl unless he has been introduced or knows con- ditions are conducive. Also one may go to church like I do, but, as a rule, he invariably cannot tell who a cer- tain young lady may be. Could you in any way acquaint me with a young lady who is mutually in- cUned; prefer oue about 25 or so, who is well educated, reHned, and with some m-usical talent. I can give any particulars desirable and open to any enquirv necessary. Your favors will be esteemed and kindlv reply by next issue. kinttiy repiy »3 eNQUIBEB. Dear Enquirer: â€" Now you have put me in a queer box! I am just aching to help you, to find some nice girl who is just in the same predicament as yourself, and to introduce vou to each other that you may become friends. And how can IT Just as surely as I do that for you, a dozeu others will ask that the same be done for them. And 1 cannot be sure that all are genuine, and the right kind of person to be introduced by let- ter to a nice girl. So there you are I I just have to leave it at that, En- quirer. There is a chance that the Bight Girl may see you- letter and write to me. Have you read Bertha Buck's new book, "Sweethearts Un- met"! It deals with your very prob- lem. Good luckl BOSALIND. "E A.

They had been dining in state in the dining car. Husband, who is a teacher of Knglish, was glad that little daugh- ter had behaved so perfectly. Mother also was in a happy frame of mind. There were numerous other diners in the car, and the parents were ptond of their child. Not a single thing haa liappencd to mar the serenity of the occasion. Finally the meal was over and they started to leave the car. Their way tcok them past all of the other tables. Suddenly the little girl felt impelled to ask a question. "Mother," she called in a shrill voice, "aren't we going to wash the dishes?"

If you want to be a cred- it to your country, town and city, you will swat the little critter â€" swat him early, swat him late. For the house fly is a menace; he's not fit tu be around, so the thing to do is swat him wherever he is found. "Here's news about the house fly," remarked the City Ed. ' ' Can 't yon boil it down and tell us what the health officials said?" Oh, gentle reader, take the word of one who read the pamphlet through, the house fly never, never should as- sociate with you, or with your kith and kin, your food, or anything that your 's. So strive to see that he is killed or else kept out of doors. If half the things they say are true â€" and who would dare to doubt 'emf â€" the other half don't matter; you don 't need to know about 'em. Just think: A normal female fly thinks nothing, so they say, of laying eggs in wholesale lots, ten dozen in a day. These eggs hatch out in no time when the weather is warm, and five days after that the new born flies begin to swarm. And so it goes, more flies, more eggs, from AprU to September, till the total score gets higher than most mamma flies remember. The sci- entists, however, have it down in black and white and the figures as they foot 'em up are herewith brought to' light. Ten trillion flies, the records show, may spring from one fly 's laying â€" which makes some crop, some family tree, some bunch, as goes the saying. It Would Take Some Swat. That isn't all. In forty days, the health sharps estimate, one ilv would make 12,000,000 flies, 800 pounds by weight. To kill 800 pounds of flies-^ though believe it you may not â€" would take, the scientists assert, considerable swat. And as we're not ail Babe Rutlis or Ping Bodies with the bat, we will start our swatting early if we know what we are at. Screens and poisons, traps and stiek- um (it is written), help a lot, but there's nothing so effective as the good old-fashioned swat. For you can 't reform the house fly; it 's a thing that can 't be done. All attempts have met with failure since the days of Babylon. Bead your Bible; read how Moses walloped Phar- aoh 'twiit the eyes with one plague upon another, worst of all the plague of flies. Head how flies made life a torture even in the Promised Land, bringing germs to countless thousands gathered in that happy strand. And there might have been more swatting if they'd had the proper club â€" as it was, they named the devil Lord of Flies, Beelzebub. All of which you'll find recorded in the Health Board Bulletin. Buy it, steal it, get it, read it â€" and digest the facts therein. Then go out and swat the housefly, swat and show 'em you're no dub, for by swatting every housefly vou will swat Beelzebub. â€" F.
