WOMEN SHAVE
UNKNOWINCLY

When women are so unwise as to use
so-called hair removers. they actually
shave unknowingly, because such prep
arations stimulate hair growth after
each removal.
The proper way to remove hair is to
devitslize it 1t is impossible to accom-
plish this result with pastes and rub-on
preparations. because they only remove
hair from the surface of the skin. De
Miracle. the original liquid depflatory,
devitalizes hair by attacking il under
the skin as well IS on the skin.
limitations of De Miracle are as
worthless as pastes and rub-on prepa-
rations. because they lack certain in
gradients that De Miracle alone con-
tains, which give IL the power to rob
force.
Buy a bottle of the genuine De Mir
acle today. and you will get the orig
inal liquid hair remover. Others are
worthless imitatfons-refuse them. Re-
member, you are not asked to buy De
miracle on a mere promise of your
money being refunded. De Miracle is
the only depilatory that has a binding
guarantee in each package, which en-
titles you to the refund of your money
if II fails.
De Miracle is sold in three sizes. Soc

eists and larger users to buy II your

Who's to Blame?

The afternoon OF the competitive
drill at the baseball grounds a grout
of some eight or ten boys, ranging ii
ages from 10 to Is years, rudely ell
bowed their way through the CROWD
waiting for the folk to alight from
the car which they wished to board
Ignoring the fact that these they
were pushing and crowding out oil
their way were, in the main, girls
and women the little clique of lads
succeeded in gaining the car stel
before any one else, and madly rush
ed for the vacart seats, which goal
reached they locked into each other
faces with a grin of satisfaction
which encompassed pride and con-
graduation among other things.
A tired woman, who carried the
results of her days shopping in her
arms, hung to strap, and around
her were other women and girls
watching the boys as they blasted
their success in gaining every avail
able seat in the car.
I'D like to see what the mothers
of such boys are like" remarked the
bundle burdened woman to a neigh
hor.
They certainly do not show any
car-marks of cultured homes" came
the disguised reply.
But this was not altogether true,
for some OF the lads were neatly
even wcll-drcssed, and the most of
them owned bright, intelligent faces.
Yet not one of them seemed in any
way aware OF the women and girls
who hung to straps in front of them
because they had gobblcd up every
available scat IN the car. None gave
evidence that there was any question

RIPPLES AND OPPORTUNITIES
By ORIsON SWEET MARDEN.

Turner, the great English artist, went
out one day with some fellow students
to study nature. When evening came

pebbles are thrown into it." He had
spent the whole day sitting upon a
rock. throwing pebbles into a lake!
No artist could paint such ripples as
Turner painted.
How much pains are you willing to
put into the important job of prepar-
ing for your life work? How much
time are you ready to give to studying
the details of your trade or profession
so that you may be master craftsman
in your line?
The gods sell anything and to
everybody at a fair price" The price
of mastery in any field is thorough
preparation. A good opportunity will
only hold you UP to ridicule, will only
emphasize your inefficiency and make
your weakness all the more conspicu-
preparation is more than the oppor-
tunity. In fact. the preparation makes
the opportunity.
This is a rushing, strenuous age, and
one of the great troubles with the
youth of today is that they also are
in rush. They are not willing to
wait: they can't afford time for prepa-
ration.
An art student begins to paint pic
lures before he is grounded in the
fundamental principles of art He sells
few amateur productions and is so
flattered by his success that he is
never again content to study first prin-
ciples. and. of course, proves to be
only a second-class artist.
One who aims to be a great must
clan. learns to play few tunes in
public. and is not willing afterward
to spend hours every day in dry,
dreary practice. and to his chagrin
never becomes more than an amateur.
A young writer, hattered by seeing.
some of his early productions in print,
thinks he can get along without devot-
ing years to practice in rewriting ar
ticles. in study and observation, in hunt
ing for hours for a word to At a thought
exactly, in learning his thesaurus by
heart. OF course. his vocabulary is limit.
ed. his expression poverty stricken, his
scant. his Imagination weak.
his power of portrayal almost nil. and
he becomes just . hack writer, or more
likely has to turn to something else to
exc out living.

| HAVE Just heard Of q wonderful ad-
venture that a boy Of IA had-he rode
alone in the street car for the first
| time in his life and was thrilled with
| the experience. No, he was not boy
| from remote countryside nor did he
live in the swarming tenement districts
where both nickels and streets cars are
novelty. He was a city boy, the son
of one of the richest men in one of the
richest cities in the world. and his life
had been SO ordered that this was the
first time that he had any experience
with a street car.
This may be an extreme case. but it
points moral. The children Of the
very rich and even of the prosperous
are losing a very important part of their
education by having the conveniences Of
life given them as a matter Of course.
The average mother would prefer to
send her children to school in a private
car She may be sinceSely woman of
democratic ideas. averse to giving the
children class privileges. of pandering
unduly to their weaknesses. The car to
her is a protection, it Is quicker. cleaner
and more convenient than the street car.
That is why she uses it. The result
on the children is that they come to re-
gard the car as necessity and would
not know how to do without it. This is
the danger point.
l think the indiscriIninate use of the
telephone is bad thing for children.
The boys forget to do an errand and
the telephone is there to remedy this
forSetfulness. Children should be taught
that the telephone really represents
money and should be used to save time,
not to save work.
A wise mother of my acquaintance i'm
pressed this on her growing family of
boys and girls by having the unlimited
phone exchanged for a nickel phone and
requiring the children to pay out Of
their pocket money for all personal mes
sages or messages due to their forget
fulness. She soon found that the children
We're doing a great many things in per-

that convenient and time-saving ma
chine.

Skipping the Rope.
Mrs. E. e. Cit is so easy for a young
girl to overdo when it comes to skipping
rope that 1 hardly consider it advisable
for you to permit your daughter to in
dulge in this pastime. So much perma-
nent damage may be done to a girls
health by overexertion-strainin grow
ing muscles and delicate tendons-that
it seems foolish to take any risks.
The steady jolting often leads to head
aches and frequently causes misplaced
organs.
Chronic Headaches.
Miss E. NJ. P.-There are any number
of different causes for headaches. You
may not be able to see properly and
need glasses to relieve the straining Of
your eyes; you may not be eating proper
food; you may be suffering from con-
stipation and your system absorbing the
poisons: perhaps you do not get sufficient
fresh air; it is possible you cannot
breathe properly because Of distractions
in your nose or throat: possibly you are
the victim of some organic trouble.
Chronic headaches Indicate an abnormal
condition and you should not neglect
the warning. Have stomach. intestine
and kidney contents analysed by your
physician. q Let him so over your case
thoroughly. You should know what the
trouble is. Be sure to get eight hours
sleep; exercise every day until your vital
organs are flushed with warmth. Be
sure to have moving air in your sleeping
room and above all things keep your
thoughts upon hopeful, happy themes.
Be cheerful. Do not worry.
