pQeBLEMS
ms ELlZA RLTH TLeApSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: My eyebrows
are not dark and are rather thin and
do not lie fiat. AS / have very dark
hair and eyes, but a fair skin, / look
funny. Is there any harm in pencil
ing? | do not like to do this, but must
do something that will have percep
tible results.
CONSTANT READER.
To beautify the eyebrows, brush
them often, drawing the brush always
in the direction in which the hair
grows. The brush used to bring about
the best results is shaped not I'M
like that for teeth, but the bristles
must be fine and soft, like those used
for a baby's head.
Every night the eyebrows should
be massaged, never drawing the fin
gers in direction opposite to that in
which the hair grows. Stroking is done
with the finger tips, the motion being
strong to induce quickened circulation,
but not to wear off the hair A mixture
VI " g. nhio VI leu NdSclluc " ~ tGll-
tigrams of boric acid is simple tonic
that can be put on at any time 1t
should be made into a smooth paste
and massaged into the eyebrows. 1t
also helps the growth of the eyelashes
if it rubbed lightly over the lashes at
the roots.
Surface colorings that no not sink
into the pores do not injure the brows
and lashes. Burnt cork, obtained by
literally charring a piece of cork, is a
harmless black. 1t will stay on bet
ter if the hair is slightly touched with
glycerine.
In reply to the c. H. Exhibit club:
Write to the secretary of agriculture
or to your congressman for informa
ton.
Dear Mrs. Thompson % Does a
boy love a girl if he brings her a box
of chocolates and a package of chew
ing gum every Sunday evening?

girl to the show or the movies tc
prove he likes her?
MARION H.
% Not necessarily.

battle against intemperance and his
faith that it will free the nation from

of mankind as to the success of any
invention or forward movement and
the ever present disposition to say at

seemingly impossible has been made
possible by the people Of insight and
courage. He declared that temperance

A joyful day is coming,
A day when we shall see
Our well-beloved country
From alcohol set free,
Our God and home and country"
This shall our war-cry be,
"a flag both pure and stainless,
A land of liberty"
Tis ours to help in bringing
This great and glorious day;
Tis ours each passing moment
To watch and work and pray,
Say not, Il am not needed"
For well this truth we know,
That all most bravely battle
If we defeat the foe.
Oh We who love our banner
Of red and white and blue,
Come prove your love by service,
THE Lord hath need of you"
Live lives to keep it stainless,
Speak words to keep it pure
Work on, believing, trusting,
The victory is sure.

A MELLOW
FLAVOR
THAT LASTS
Chew American Navy" and
Get Real Tobacco Taste
HIGH QUALITY. BIG VALUE

All the enjoyment and satisfac-
ton of tobacco is in the taste.
The only way to taste tobacco is
10 cLe5U it. And the form of chew
that gives you the most taste is
the Ping form.
Compare a sweet, juicy chew of
American Navy plug with a chew
OF the best scrap" tobacco. Right
away you'll see how much more
tasty and enjoyable is American
Navy.
American Navy is made entire
" of aUkole leaf-the same leaf
that is used in making good
cigars-and the sweet, savory
juices that nature puts into the
leaf are pressed evenly through
the whole plug, so that every
chew of American Navy fills you
plumb full of tasty satisfaction.
And that choice flavor of Amer
ican Navy lasts.
Get a sc or Ioc cut of Ameri-
can Navy from your dealer and
try it. That will convince you.
