Protrudina Wrist Bones.

Ugly, protruding wrist bones often
disfgure an otherwise rather pretty
arm and hand. Where the bones are
too large there can be no help except
to make plump the flesh about them.
and for this nothing is better than aim
ond oil or cocoa butter.
Cocoa butter can be had at any drug
store. 1t comes usually in square or
oblong cakes. although some Is put UP

to reason that the joints cannot pro-

the first place. And the same may be
said Of the elbow. Where the joint is
sharp. by increasing the plumpness of
the flesh on the arm the bones win not
appear so prominently.

Points
for
Mothers
Helping the Shy Girl.

Helping the Shy GIRL.
The common tendency Of the girl IN
the formative period is toward shy
ness. Almost every girl whose body
Is growing beyond her control is so
fearful Of attracting attention in pub
lie that she wishes to remain as incOn-
spicuous as possible. and any sudden
remark addressed to her Is apt to COW
er her with confusion.
1t is interesting to note how many
forms shyness takes. The most easily
recognized is, OF course, that which
causes the girl to blush, stammer and
be at an utter loss for words when ad-
dressed by any stranger.
Another form, which is just as com
mon but seldom recognized, seems to
oblige the girl to talk necessarily In a
high pitched unnatural voice until the
cause for embarrassment has been re-
moved. This form Is far more unfOr-
tunate than the former, for the girl is
usually misjudged as extremely for
ward and bOisterous, whereas her in
tense confusion is really the fault.
This form Of shyness Is almost al
ways a consequence Of ridicule. One
girl. who at twenty-three is just begin
ming to recover from this habit of high
ly excited, ceaseless chatter when en-
barrassed, told an intimate friend re-
Gently that for years she actually suf-
fered when she met strangers simply
because her family used to make such
fun Of her shyness when she was four

THEY ALL DEMAND IT
Min0t, Like Every City and Town in
the Union, Receives 1t.

People with kidney ills want to be
cured. When one suffers the fortunes
of an aching back, relief is eagerly
sought for. There are many remdies
today that relieve, but do not cure.
Doan's Kidney Pills have brought
lasting results to thousands. Here is
Minot evidence of their merit.
Mrs. H. D. Horst, Washington st.,
Minot, N. D., says: Several members
of our family have used Doan's Kid
ney Pills and have been cured of
backaches, headaches and dizzy spells.
One Of the family had lot of trouble
with the kidney secretions. A couple
of boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills quick
ly removed it. We think Doan's Kid
ney Pills are the best remedy to be
had for kidney complaint" 49,.
Mrs. Horst is only one Of many
Minot people who have gratefully en-
dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy ask distinctly for Doan' 8
Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs.
Horst recommends-the remedy back
