your liver and bowels--there's no need
of having a sallow complexion - dark

Your doctor will tell you ninety per

DIR. Edwards, a well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM

Helen was still little pale when
she and Babbie and Louise Joined the
men outside the dressingroom. This

Helen forgot the slight of a few
minutes before in the anticipation of
the evening. The rooms were crowded
with people, all talking and laughing
merrily. Several men noticed Helen
and looked after her admiringly. For
once Warren made no comment on
this fact. 1t was sweet flattery to him
to have his business friends admire
his wife, and he showed the fact that
he was pleased by saying to Helen in
an aside:

told you to- It's always better to

quite near the speakers table, and the
exhilaration of pleasant conversation
and light and warmth and soft mu-
sic was already having its effect on
Helen.
The dinner progressed with the
general supply of perfectly cooked
food and light wines; a quartet had
been added to the festivities and sang
catchy melodies from a gallery that
ran around the room.
Helen liked gay DIR. Dennis and his
blonde wife. The Dennis family had

for the rooms to be cleared.

The introduction was managed so
informally that Helen had no chance
to observe Mrs. Davenport before she
came up. Now she turned and looked
into the eyes of the catty woman of
her dressingroom experience.
Helen recognized her instantly and
she saw the woman also recognized
her. Now was Helens time TO tri-

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS
Better to Make Many and Break some
Than to Have Made None
at All.

It's very much the fashion to joke
about making New Years resolutions;
but as a matter of fact there Is ad-
vantage In making resolutions, II they
are good ones, and there is no other
date except ones birthday anniversary
so appropriate for the practice.
That individual must be totally de-
void of sentiment who has no send-
ment on the subject Of New Year.
Jokers whose topic Is New Years res
olutions lay stress on the fact that
many Of them are broken. A fact 1t
is-there is no denying it. But not all
of them are broken. A man who makes
ten New Years resolutions, every one
of them good, and breaks nine, is
better off to the extent Of the virtue
involved In keeping the one to which
he adheres than If he made none at
all.
For the sake of argument, however,
perhaps it may be conceded that max
ing numerous good resolutions at once
is open to criticism on the ground that
II is harder to attain perfection In
many things than in few things, ant
that failures cause encouragement
and that concentration Is helpful Il

wise thing for New Years resolution
makers to do Is to survey their fall
ings and frame few resolutions hit

FORGET the Past.

The New Year is the best of all times
to take mental inventory, and every
one of us should do so. We should
forget the past entirely. All the re-
grets, all the signs, all the tears that
ever were, or ever will be, combined,
cannot recall one single moment that
has passed. Then why waste good
time and vitality? Meet the New
Years day with brave, smiling face.
The world stops to take notice of the
fighter, and gives him 90 chances out
of 100, whereas the whimperer is
passed by without glance. Then
let us resolve that the first day of 1917
will see us starting all over again
standing fearlessly in our places; and
let us further resolve that during the
coming days we will, occasionally
reach out a helping hand to someone
who needs it. This Is great resolu
ton to make-a gilt-edged investment
that pays the highest discount on rec
ord.
