Reply to 1.-TWO American Beauties"
You two chums are very kind to
like what I say In the department.
but I have some pretty strong advice
to give you and that is be more care
full of your conduct on the street. Do
not notice men whom you do not
know. II you do you lay yourselves
liable to very unpleasant remarks
When you have men callers, be as
agreeable as possible. play cards or
games II you like and have little
chaeng dish suppers or some kind OF
light refreshments. Pretty girls are
often stared At. but do not notice It.
The shy girl wins out In the end. for
when It comes to marrying. a man
wants . Woman for his wife who has
not been talked about by other men
and who has A~id herself In reserve.
Tho only way to become acquainted

HOW TO CUT DOWN
LIVING EXPENSES

Any Ottumwa family can make a big
saving and also be much healthier by
eating the deliciously appetizing Min
nesota' Spaghetti at least twice each
week in place of meat
Minnesota" Spaghetti is four times
as nutritious as beef steak and yet
costs only about one cent a dish.
1t contains more proteids than most
foods and is therefore more strength
giving and less fattening
1t is fine for children--making their
bodies strong and healthy And they
are very fond of its rich. nut-like
flavor.
Insist on getting the genuine Min
nesota" Spaghetti, made from the
VERY BEST DURUM wheat with ALL
the wonderfully nourishing Gluten
left in.-Advt.
