He his had a housekeeper, but no close friends or members of his family shared the residence with him. COURTLY. BUT ERRATIC. As one of the nicturesaue characters of Charlotte and representatives of the Charlotte of former days, he was re called with interest by many citizens of the city Monday. Many of them paid tribute tot the qualities of mind and heart that he possessed. His un bending integrity and honesty in all business relations was one of them. A certain gentility and courtliness of man ner that endeared him to many, in spite of the erratic and secluded lira that he effected in recent years, was commented upon by many who had Known him for years. Something of the enhanced value r.f Charlotte realty in recent years was tow .Monday in connection with Mr. West's death. In 1905, he and the late Sheriff Z. T. Smith, joint owners 01 the old Charlotte hotel building and site, were offered $25,000 for it. Kb...... iff Smith was readv to sell but tviv West objected. Later Sheriff Smith sold his interest in the property for $15. 000. About one year ago, the Eflrd3 are said to have naid S210.000 for thi- same property.

I am very much in love with a boy of 20, but he doesn't seem to care for me at all. He comes to my home often to see my brother and he talks to me sometimes. He doesn't go with any other girls. Please tell me how ro win his love. ANXIOUS BLONDE. Do not try to win his love, because it is not your place to do so. If you try "methods" for winning the boy he will see that you are running after him. Dear Mrs. Thompson: This spring I graduated from college. It is custom ary for the girls in the senior class who have become engaged to attend a breakfast given especially for engaged girls, '.I am afraid that the. desire to attend '.that breakfast made me do a very foolish thing. . I became engaged shortly before. Now that school is" "over and I have returned home. I have seen an old sweetheart again and I realize that I care a lot more for 'him than I do my fiance. -My - fiance lives in another state. He writes to me every day and seems hurt when -1 do not write to him often. He is expecting to come to see me in two weeks. The trip will cost a good deal and when he comes I hate to disappoint hini with, the news that I do not love him.. Do you think I should write him a letter, or should I let him come arid tell him then?' " - : TOMMIE. My dear little girl, you have" done a very contemptible thing. Unless you change ' your methods and show more respect for lovfe you will cheapen your feelings until .you are Unable to know a deep love. When a man proposes to a girl, he is paying her. the highest trib ute he can; he is asking her to be his life companion and. the mother of his children. It is dishonorable for the girl to treat his feeling lightly and to become engaged temporarily simply for selfish reasons. - Write the . young, man just as nice a letter -as 'you -can.- It would not.be fair to let him' spend the money to go to see you only to hear the news you have for him.

There is one thing, however, which causes - trouble between us. My hus band has a father and unmarried sister. They live together: -The sister is thirty five years ond and the father is seventy. I can get : along with my husband's father all right, but I can't stand his sister. She thinks that she-is frail, and she is always complaining about having to do'o much. I know she is not half as sick as she pretends to be. She wouldn't do anything if she could get someone to do it for her. I make all my own dresses and I make the clothes for my baby. Now my sister-in-law . thinks that I ought to make her dresses, too. She could afford to go to a dressmaker if she would, but , she refuses. My husband and she think I am unreasonable when I say I am too busy- to do sewing out side the family. . ' - Am I right in holding- my own over thismatter and saying I cannot do it? . . HELEN H; Tes, I think you are right. If you had nothing else to do, it would be a kindness to sew for your sister-in-law but if you. have to do so when you are already very busy, you would be using your strength when it should be saved. Be sweet but firm in your refusal.'' - -' . - - - Dear Mrs. Thompson:: I am worried about mv. little boy. He is getting very thin and: will not eat. He also grows tired ' easily. ' Will you kindly recom mend a ,tonic I could , give him? . ',.'''.;; MRS. J. K. . Do not give your child a tonic. Take him to a physician and' see what is the cause of his poor health. Such, a mat ter should not "be neglected. Dear Mrs. Thompson: What will pre vent' freckles? . ; ' JUNE BUG. The skin should , not be exposed 10 the sun.

When' baked they will have a rich, satiny look and the outer skin wlU peel off as thin as " tissue paper, leaving the rich, nutritious part under it to be eaten instead of wasted as usual. , SUGGESTIONS To Make a -Pasteboard waste basket take four pieces of pasteboard eighteen inches long, nine inches at top and eight at bpttom. Punch holes at ' each side, top and botton, and tie together with ribbon of the same shade as the cardboard; the dark tones are the pret .tiest. Cut. a: piece of cardboard to fit in the bottom and' you have a neat inexpensive waste basket for bedroom or sewing room. ..... ..... . To Extract Thorns or Splinters from the fingers, nearly fill a small-necked bottle with very hot water and then press the affected part tightly over the neck, so as to prevent .the steam from escaping. This will soften the flesh and bring the splinter to the surface. The Nipple on Baby's Bottle will not eollapse if a sterilized cord is placed across the center of the opening of the bottle before the nipple is put on. The rubber nipple holds it in place. Select Fairly Thin Dishes for use in ice box. for thick dishes take up and hold - heat. Dishes of enamelware or glass are' better than those of heavy earthenware. 1 . LORD LEE ADDS TO GIFT.

ENGLAND AIDED BEATENGREEKS Help Given Secretly in Vio lation of Agreement With Allies. BY NEWTON C. PARKE, International News Service Staff Correspondent. Paris, June 27. England" not only gave the Greeks moral encouragement in their recent ill-fated campaign against the Turks in Asia Minor, but lent financial assistance 'and the, id vice of military experts, according to information from reliable sources here. This help was given secretly because fit -. violated the Anglo-French-Italian agreement reached at the London con ference. Though the French govern ment, which has always worked for an understanding with Mustapha Kemal's Turkish nationalists, strongly opposed the Greek adventure a number of French banks are said to have helped provide funds. It is estimated that General Papou las' campaign cost Greece at least $30,000,000. It is known that the Bank of Greece was not prepared to furnish this sum and that. King Constantine sent out distress signals f or money be fore he ordered the offensive. Exactly to - what extent the English government' participated directly in fi nancing the campaign is ' not known here. Nevertheless, it is no secret in banking circles that several big Lon don banks helped raise funds. In Paris a group of banks which has large interests in Greece and the Near East lent, enough, additional support enable Constantine to get along with -put worry, despite the fact that he is still waiting for recognition by the Allied governments At Constantinople the Greeks receiv ed not only military advice' but an or ganization is said to have been crea ted by the British embassy to help Con stantine erect a civil administration if the Greek offensive had been a success. Mustapha Kemal's representatives here' report that among the dead found by the Turks as the Greeks retreated were numerous British officers and that - several . Britishers were taken prisoners. - Athens dispatches admir that , one English colonel was killed while leading a counter-attack, but ax plain that he' "happened" to be with the Greek troops and assumed com mand when their leader was killed. HE FEELS LIKE BOYOFTWENTY Lynchburg Man Suffered for Years But is Now the Picture of Health. . "I . am fifty-five years of age but actually I feel more like a boy of twenty," said James A. Roach, 402 Clay St., Lynchburg, Va., valued em ploye of the Smith-Briscoe Shoe Com pany, in relating hia remarkable expe rience with Tanlac. "For ten years stomach trouble had the best of ' me and during all that time I had to be careful about what I ate. - For years I cut out breakfast altogether and even at the other two meals ate very sparingly. Still, how ever, I -suffered tortures at times from s,'as ' on my stomach, and I would have awful smothering spells and my heart would, beat like a trip-hammer. Rheu matism got me in its clutches and it was agony for me to raise my hand to my head, and my legs hurt me so bad I hobbled when I walked. My kidneys were all out of order, too, and my back hurt me so. that I couldn't bend over and straighten up again without help. I was . nervous and rest less and many a night I sat up in a chair all night long unable to sleep. "I know a lot of people have been helped by Tanlac but I don't believe anybody's recovery was more remark able than mine. -It changed me in every way, gave me an appetite, toned up my stomach so that I could eat anything I wanted and entirely knock ed rheumatism out of my system. I never felt better in my life than I do right now and am. eating, sleeping and : working , better than I have in years. When I started taking Tanlac I weighed only 130 pounds and now I weigh 160 pounds and everybody tells me I am the 'picture of health. Tanlac ' certainly did a wonderf ill job for me." Tanlac is . sold In Charlotte by Jas. P. Stowe & Co., and. leading druggists. Adv. ONE-ELEVEN Qgarettcs Tosave25 on your cigarettes is important But-to pleaseyour taste is more important.

The Rock River Review, published by Royal A. Young and edited by his wife, Rose White Young, has a cylin der press usually driven by an elec tric motor that derives its power from the local light plant. When the plant was closed down recently because, the owners declared, they were furnishing lighting and electrical power at a loss, Mr. Young found a perfectly good Cranston press on his hands; his "forms" for the daily paper were "lock ed up" and on the bed of the press and his mailing clerk" was ready to get the paper into the mails. But there was no "juice." "The motor would not go without power, and the press could not run off papers without the motor being started. While Young pondered the situation he thought of his flivver. Backing his faithful Ford up to the building, he hoisted one wheel off the ground, removed a tire, slipped the transmis sion belt of the press to the tireless wheel, and started the engine. The edition was run off at the rate cf 1,700 papers an hour; the tire" was re placed on the wheel; the Ford was let down onto terra flrma again and the folded papers thrown into ts tonneau, whence they were delivered to the sub scribers.
