She weighs about 130 and stands five feet two and a half inches high. You have that title wrong. Be sure the first word is right, otherwise I cant look it up. You know I have about 15,000 cast cards to look thru when you dont give the right title. J. S., Winnipeg. — Hobart Henley did play in the East. So you heard from Cleo Madison personally. Oh, yes, she is very nice about answering letters. Why ask me such questions? Well, it's this way, the average pulse in infancy is 120 per minute, in manhood, 80; at 60 years, 60; it is more rapid in females. Julius T.

Dorothy Phillips and Ben Wilson in “In His Own Trap.” Gertie. — Glad to hear your voice. I am not prepared to give medical advice, because I am not a physician. But this paragraph from Horace Fletcher seems to apply to your case. “Were I an iron and steel automobile, instead of a flesh and blood automobile, which I really am, could I get a license for myself, as a chauffeur, to run myself with safety, based upon my knowledge of my own mechanism and the theory and development of my power?” In other words, know thyself better, and you can then keep your machine in good order.
