which are offered for her choosing.

Advice to.
Girls
By ANNIE LAURIE.

Dear Annie Laurie:
am very young and pretty, and
all my men friends say they adore
me- Do .you think they do because
they hug and kiss me necessarily!
Should l let them? Please tell me
what you think, as | am so mex
perienced, but like to be loved.
Yours sincerely.
ODEST MAIDEN, you have
MI chosen a peculiar name for
V your signature. Honestly
now. don't you think so? Do
you really believe that any modest
maiden would let any men friends kiss
her incessantly," no matter what they
say about her?
Now I'm going to talk some very
plain English to you, little girl. l
think you need it, and it's time you
had it.
So you like to be loved, do you? What
has incessant hugsins and kissing to
do with love? Nothing in the wide,
wide world.
Do You want to be really loved? Do
you want to be held in some good
mans heart like a jewel in a ring OF
precious metal? Then stop this in
cessant" huggins and kissing this yery
minute. and stop it once and for all.
Don't imagine for one minute that
the men who hug and kiss you so in
cessantly' feel about it the way you
DO. They don't. They kiss you because
you let them. do it, that's all. You're
just a convenience to them. like an ash
tray on cigarette holder.
They kiss you and then 60 out and
tell each other about it and laugh over
i,1cf ial- n
ALA poor. pretty. little goose OF a
joke.
The weaker sex: it is to laugh. No
man in the world could put up the fight
for decency and virtue and modest self
respect that any plain little school girl
can and does put up. year In and year
out.
When she loses in that fight She s
gone. little girl; all gone out of the
world you want to live in. She be-
longs out there in the street, and that s
where she will go sooner or later.
Don't like to be loved so well that
You can't like to be respected. too. for
whisper. there's lots OF respect without
Iove, and there isn't a bit of real love
in all the world without respect. Send
your 'incessant' friends about Their
business.
Hold yourself too high for any such
coarse and brutal commonizer.
Dear Honey Lennane:-If your ''decp
love" for your handsome actor
couldn't stand the strain of few
weeks separation and the attentions OF
another man, ! don't think it could
have amounted to much. And II you
aren't sure of your love for the other
man. 7 mean sure enough not to have
any doubts as to what course to pur-
sue. why. ] don't think that love
AMOUNTS to much either. My advice Ia
you is to leave them both alone until
you get some idea of what It really
means to be in love, to care for some
one so much that you don't think OF
anyone else and are willing to scarifice
yourself for him.

BILE AND BILIOUSNESS

Bile is manufactured in the cells OF the
liver. 1t assists digestion and prevents
pntrefaction in the intestines. Bile 10
necessary TO life but excess of bile 10
poisonous.
The effects of excessive secretion OF bile
and failure to eliminate it from the blood,
which is also function of the liver, are
white-coated or brown-furred tongue, Bit
ter taste in the mouth, indigestion, head :
ache, lack of appetite, constipation and
WEAKNESS.
This is condition popularity called
biliousness and points directly to the
need OF something to regulate the liver.
For this purpose the claim is made that
Pinklets, the new laxative, are greatly
superior to old-fashioned liver medicines
which over stimulate the liver and, when
their use is stopped, leave the liver more
torpid than before. That over-stimula-
ton debilitates the liver is as certain as
anything known in the science of medi-
cine. Pinklets are tiny, sugar coated
pills, dainty to take, easy in action and
they do not upset the stomach nor cause
gripping. Given thorough trial they
really correct chronic constipation.
Your druggist sells Pinklets or they will
be sent, postpaid, on receipt OF price, 70
cents per bottle, by the DR.. Williams
