LOTS OF MALE
WALLFLOWERS
Everyone Wants 10 Be
Loved, but Few
Win 1t

Being a wall-flower is supposed to
be strictly feminine trouble, but, bless
your hearts, that isn't so.
Not as many men write to me to
ask how they shall win feminine favor
as the vast number of girls who plead
for the magic password which shall
give them masculine admiration. But
there are enough.
We all want to be loved, and a good
many of us set after affection in the
particular manner that is designed to
deprive us of it.
Numberless men make the blunder
of thinking they can win love by de-
manding it. They have heard some
thing about the 'caveman methods"
and they promptly attempt to use
them.
Instead of the brute strength and
the brute club which the men of pre-
historic times welded so well, they
have only the force of their desire
and the club of their attention. Over
whelming a girl with flowers or candy
or love letters is not going to force
her to care for you. The point is,
does she care for the thing you are
Offering?
The average man is not very likely
to send American Beauties to the girl
who would like carnations, or boxes
is fond of molasses taffy, or jewels
to the one who desires only books.
If you are going to WOO by giving,
oh, you masculine desirers of love,
give not what you enjoy offering, but
what the fair recipient has some pleas
ure in receiving.
Strength without stubbornness, n
good appearance without foppishness,
manners without self-consciouness or
stilted prudery, self esteem without
conCeit and kindness without abject-
ness-all of these make n man likable.
But what shall it avail man if he
be loved by all the world and the one
he most desires finds him not lovable?
1t takes a little study to find out
what the person you want to interest
desires. Life is almost entirely matter
of salesmanship-you sell your ability,
your knowledge, yourself and nowhere
is this more true than in the realm
of courtship. The man who wants
to be liked or loved has to be likable
or lovable. Being absorbed in him
self will not make him So
If you talk to your friends of moth
ing but your self and your achieve
ments, if you consult only your con-
Venience in making engagements and
only your desires in the diversions you
plan, you surely cannot expect to win
much favor.
But if to consideration and mental
alertness you add warmth and q GER
tain friendly emanation of your own
personality, you ought to make friends

Most Effective Remedy
Mother Had Eper Used
DR.. CaIdtUeWS Syrup Pepsin
Relieves Baby When Other
Medicines Failed.

There is nothing so necessary to a
childs health and comfort as regular
ity of the bowels. All children are
especially susceptible TO stomach
trouble and any overstrain of the
sensitive organs has a tendency to
obstruct elimination. This condition
is responsible for much of the illness
of childhood.
To relieve constipation a mild laXa-
tive should be employed. Cathartics
and purgatives are violent in their
action and should be avoided. Mrs
Alfred Du Bois, Mt. Holly, n. j., says
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is with
out doubt the most effective remedy
for constipation she has ever used and
that it is the only remedy she could
1ind for her baby. Little Earl was
badly constipated during his first year
and nothing she tried seemed to help
him until she got bottle of DR..
Caldwelis Syrup Pepsin. Now he is
a fine, healthy boy, and she thanks
DR.. Caldwell for it.

combination of simple laxative herbs
