Dear Mrs Thompson: l am a man
26 years old and l have got myself
into a mess when I ought to have
known better For over a year l have
gone with the dearest girl l have ever
known. l did not think | loved her or
that she loved me, but we were very
good friends and cOngenial Then /
met a friend of hers who is pretty
not any prettier than she, but of
different style of beauty. The first
girl has a beauty that grows on one.
Well, l started going with the second
girl and paid her more attention than
my first friend. My first friend seemed
to be glad that | liked the other girl
and didn't oppose my going with her
at all. Then the other girl took it for
granted that | liked her better than my
first friend and became unreasonable
when | talked about or went to see
her. | hate to drop her bluntly, be-
cause she is sensitive and | would not
like to hurt her feelings.
While l have been having my good
time my first friend has been enjoy
ing herself, too Now when l ask to
come to see her she is very busy and
can't let me come as often as l would
like to. and when | do go we don't
seem to be as close friends as We used
to. l would like TO remove the past
three months from my life and go back
where l was before l met the second
girl. What would you advise me to
do 7 have everv reason IN thinl, that
the second girl loves me and the first
does not. That makes the situation
especially difficult. STUPID.

How Thin People
Can Put on Flesh

Thin men and women-that big.
hearty, filling dinner you ate last
night. What became of all the fat
producing nourishment it contained?
You haven't gained in weight one
ounce. That food passed from your
body like unburned coal through an
open CRATE. The material was there,
but your food doesn't work and stick.
and the plain truth is you hardly get
enough nourishment from your meals
to pay for the cost of cooking. This
is true of thin folks the world over
Your nutritive organs, your functions
OF assimilation, are probably sadly
out of gear and need reconstruction.
Cut out the foolish foods and funny
sawdust diets. Cut out everything but
the meals you are eating and eat with
every one of those a single Sargol tab
let In two weeks note the difference,
Let the scales be the judge. Five to
eight good solid pounds of healthy,
"stay-there" fat may be the net result.
Sargol aims TO charge weak, stagnant
blood with millions of fresh new red
blood corpuscles- give the blood
the carrying power TO deliver every
ounce Of fat-making material in your
food TO every part OF your body Sar-
gol, too, mixes with your food, 10 pre-
pare it for the blood in an easily as
simulated form. Thin people tell how
they have gained all the way from 10

Sargol and say that the new flesh stays

You better stop going with the
second girl right away and trust that
her heart will not be hopelessly brok-
en-. Perhaps when the first girl sees
that you are more interested in her
than anyone else she will be glad to
renew the friendship on the old basis.
There, is also chance that she cares
more for you than you know, and is
not willing to let you see so much of
her unless your intentions are serious.
Don't make the mistake of letting some
other man win the girl you really love.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: % When a
girl goes to church with boy who
should go down the aisle first, the boy
or the girl?
90 If some people the girl knows
sit in the same pew should she intro
duce the boy TO them?
90 Should the girl put money in
the collection plate or should she let
the boy put enough in for both?
AIRLINE.
u The girl should go down the
aisle first and the boy should follow
her.
~ To promote the feeling of good
fellowship in the church it would be
well to introduce him.
90 1t is all right for her to put
money in if she wants. to, but it isn't
necessary.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Last winter
| fell down and hurt the end of my
spine and | have been treating ever
since. My doctor is man about 40
years old, but he is nice looking and
very attractive. l am II. He is mar
ried, but l do not think he is happy.
He has no children and his wife is very
gossipy. This doctor has liked me
ever since l was a little girl, but now
be has fallen in love with me. He
wants me to take more treatments
than | really need so that l will get
strong faster. What shall | do? | like
him, but l know it is not right for me
to let him love me. l am afraid TO
tell my mother and l know that she
Will not let me stop taking treatments
unless give her some reason.
THANK YOU.
Tell your mother the truth. After
you have once started to tell her Won
won't find it hard. 1t is certainly not
right for you to continue to receive
treatments from the doctor, and, if
you do, it will be to the detriment of
your character
Dear Mrs, Thompson: have heard
that the continued use of olive oil on
wart will make it disappear. Is that
so? | have a large wart between nv
fingers and it is very annoying.
THANK YOU.
| have never heard of using olive
oil One or two applications OF nitric
acid will dry up the wart. Put the
acid on with bit of absorbent cotton
on the end of a toothpick.

CANNING AND PRESERVING.

To Can Strawberries and Cherries
Together-This makes delicious
sauce, much richer than when they
are canned separately, as they are
rather fiat tasting when canned so.
Especially fine in making fruit salad
or fruit ice cream. After picking over
and cleaning the fruit have nice rich
syrup ready into which put quart of
cherries and quart of strawberries
let them come to boil and boil five
or ten minutes, or until you think they
are thoroughly heated through. Have
cans and covers hot and thoroughly
sterilized, then fill them full to the
brim with the fruit and seal up tight.
Before putting away tighten the COW
ers again so that no air can get in.
