CHANGE FOR
 WORTHIER MATES

E. J. asks: May we be advised? We are girl chums IS and 19., We are deeply devoted to two nice young men. They live in a town near. Said they cared a lot for us. Several invitations to come and take us to gatherings they broke. Not as much as sent ex cuses why. Does this show they care for us? Returning from church, at our door the linted for a kiss. We sternly refused. They were sullen. We are disconsolate. Can we win new lovers who are harmless?" TT
 Certainly you can win the right kind. Modest girls refusing kisses will meet better, worthier mates.

treatment? My appetite is better. do not feel so terribly tired any more at least exertion as I did before. Hard work such as washing and ironing l cannot do as it makes me sick. l would like your advice regarding our daughter. The doctor says she mas chronic constipation. She has had sev- eral attacks this summer with sudden severe pains in the stomach followed by diarrhoea. I applied the treatment describeN in the Club books on the subject of Dysentery, using cold ap- plications over the stomach. so the at tacks have passed in about a day when she has been able to get up again. The doctor said the treatment was no doubt all right in the attacks which she has had. The last time she was worse so we got frightenedI think ing she would die and sent for the doctor. When the doctor arrived the pains had ceased\ but he thought It would be best for her to go to the nos iptal and have an operation performed for removal of the appendix before another attack came on which might become acute. She is very careful of her diet and does not eat meat. l lkeep her from eating anything which I not drank for four years. She is 17 years old now. I hope you can help her so she will not need an operation. |. MRS. J. A. .(Answer). You must be very careful in the selection. of food or yoT are likely tc get back to your forme- con- dition. When you go away visiting you must not eat everything they set before you and always bear in mind that it is easier to get sick than to get we'll again. It will probably be we'll for you to continue the use of the Compound Gentian for it will improve your appetite and your general health. Do not try to do any hard work.
 It is probable that your, daughter has chronic appendicitis, although some of the symptoms do not point
 to this trouble. The instructions which gave in the way of dietetio include a systematic and continued use of olive
 oil Not less than two tablespoonfuls per day should be taken by her and | it would be advisable 70 apply over the region of the appendix some of the
 old-fashioned Grandmother's Oint-
 ment This is valuable for all inflam-
 nations, even if deap seated. You
 were wise in at once adopting the 1.-the Home Health Club methods of treatment for Dysentery in this case. On account of the diarrhoea and the
 fact that in chronic appendicitis al-
 most invariably constipation exists.
 am inclined to think that the difficulty | in the case of your daughter was soma
 bowel trouble instead of appendicitis.
 In such a condition the ointment
 would be all right but if there is nc
 constipation it will be well not to use
 the olive oil too freely. When such
 symptoms come on it would be we'll to give her an enema of warm water to
 which has been added some cooking
 salt. This ,is not only antiseptic but
 also has a good effect in other ways.
 She must, of course. be careful of her diet and I would suggest that she
 adopt the milk diet which I have given | in these columns. If these directions
 are followed she will not only obtain
 relief. but I believe in time entirely
 overcome the trouble if she follows
 gygienic laws.

The skirt shown here is four-piece model, slightly gathsAed at the top. Tho front and back, gores are m panel style and the circular side gores may be trimmed either with bias folds or with pockets. The adjustment is ef- fected at the left side under the cen ter plait. In medium size the skirt calls for 2A yards .54-inch material This estimate does not include the bias bands, which require l yard more of cloth or serge.
 In cutting the skirt it is well to measure off enough material for the bands 80 that they may be cut sepa- rateiy, just as showns in the cutting guide. The cloth is folded in half and the six band sections arranged just as illustrated, with longest strips in the center.
 The piecing and side gore of the skirt are laid on lengthwise thread of :he cloth. If the pocket is used to tIim the sALL PIdce tulS secClcn or the tissue above the piccing,' to the left of the side gore.
