New Jersey has just ratified the
/ proposed amendment to the constitl-
ton Of the United States authorizing

How To Insure
Your Pocketbook

GTo do that you simply make sure of getting
the highest quality for the most reasonable price
You yourself cannot be familiar with the values
of all the necessities you buy, and SO you must
rely on what others tell you of the good points
of the various articles.
q Insure your pocketbook by taking the word of
the man who has his all at stake. If he tells you
an untruth through his advertisement you will
not continue to use his goods, and his profits
will fall off. In time his misleading statements
TO buyers will drive him out of business.
GYou can insure your pocketbook with the help
of THE NkWS-get quality and price and con-
venience with small effort. Rely upon the
advertisements of THE NEWS advertisers. You
can in that way put yourself out of the power of
the INSCRIPTIONS and be guided to the stores
of reliable dealers. 1t pays in time, money and
trouble saved TO read THE NEWS advertise
nents closely and constantly every day.

Should Check Faults in Time.

How are you to keep yourself up in these
lines? How should Mrs A. have set about
it?
In the first place she should have begun
in time. She should have been on the
lookout for the stoop between her shoul-
ders the thickening below the waist line
that would have showed her she was not
taking care of herself. The attention to
the proper sort of exercise for preserving

it aids in retaining health. vigor, alert
ness, and ease of motion and promotes eff
cheney. Doctors and physical culturists
lay stress upon this and in books and mag
azines may be found directions for the
simple calisthenics which may not require
more than ten minutes a day but will do
the work of making muscles supple and
obedient
If Mrs. A. had appreciated the fact that
it is easier to check an unfortunate de-
velopment in the early stages than to cor
of growth she would have saved herself
trouble. Start in season, you who have
the same tendency she has Don't say
you haven't time for such things, You

mothers, excellent housekeepers and econ

this to keep yourself from criticism of her
appearance. To speak In plain and unfat-

Mrs. B. is almost as bad, but different.
She is skinny where Mrs. A. is stout Her
dresses emphasize this instead of Disgusting
lit. She twists her hair into tight knot at
the back of her head and draws 1t away
from her face in fashion which makes her

there is no fault to be found with her. but
she is singularly unattractive to the view
and apparently cares nothing about her
own looks.
