Do You Open Your Mouth

Or, do you want to know something of the
composition and character of that which
Won take into your stomach whether as

Most intelligent and sensible people
nowadays insist on knowing what they
employ whether as food or as medicine.
DR.. Pierce believes they have perfect
right to insist upon such knowledge. So he
publishes, broadcast and on each bottle
wrapper, what his medicines are made of
and yerifes it under oath. This he feels
he can we'll afford to do because the more
the ingredients of which his medicines
are made are studied and understood the
more will their superior curative virtues
be appreciated.

The American girl is most interest
ing contradiction. She is regarded as
the worlds greatest representative Of
feminine freedom, and yet at the root
OF her character she is the most pru-
dish of girls. She makes the best friend
for a man, and yet his worst lover.
She cannot deny that she is a f1irt, and
yet she Is at heart hard and selfish.
She will do the most unconventional
things, and yet in no part of the world
is etiquette more insisted on than in
