Dear Miss Grey: have a young lady
friend who invites herself to my home
every other week. She expected TO call
upon me one Thursday evening. but
received word late in the afternoon that
IL was impossible for her to call until
the following day, Friday. But had
made other arrangements for this day,
and told her I could not see her. where
upon she felt insulted. And would you
not wonder why? She never invites me
to her home. What do you think of 1t?
MRS c. s.
Alt is not an easy matter to advise
others under such circumstances. II
would seem as II you are the one to be
offended, and not your ungrateful
friend. Unless her society Is so pleasing
to you that 1t more than atones for her
lack Of courtesy, you certainly should
tell her frankly what you think Of her
actions. 1t might do her good.
Dear Miss Grey: How can I waiten my

A.-Q)-Use powdered pumice as dem
thrice once a week. Clean the teeth well
once a week with diluted peroxide of n.y.
drogen.
C21-simplify your diet. Eat fresh
fruit, drink water freely. walk in the
sunshine every day. Give your face
daily bath in hot, then in cold water,
changing from one to the other several
times. Do not pinch the skin.
(3)-Brush the hair thoroughly every
night, which brings out the oil and makes
the hair soft.

Results Obtained From the Intelligent
Cultivation of Florida Soils
Are Astounding.

jacksonville, Fla. - While there
Lave been many thousand acres OF
Florida lands sold to actual settlers
and to investors during the past six
months, since various colony projects
were first launched, Il is the opinion

made a study OF the situation that

prosperity that will be unsurpassed
IN the history OF this country.
II is now nearly ninety years since
Florida became a possession of the
United States by purchase from
Spain. 1t Is something over a half
century since Florida became one of
the states Of the union, but during
all that time Florida has remained
practically an unknown country to

parts of this great country.
Florida is just beginning to come
into it's own, as has been aptly said
by a writer who has made a study

the entire country are now centered
upon Florida. The great newspapers
