Questions
for
Women

II YOU were offered sure aid in time
of trouble would you put it aside
and accept something of doubtful
Efficiency?
II YOU saw before you strong and
safe bridge leading to your goal, would
you ignore it to try some insecure and
tottering structure
The answer to these questions Is
plain. You would, of course, choose
without hesitation what all evidence
showed to be the safe thing, and you
would risk nothing in useless eXperi'
