ANSWERS e eyMM GREY

Dear Miss Grey: May I
write a few soothing words to
Subscriber" who is in SYM
pathy with a woman that
smokes cigarets, and secretly,
then wants to know IL this is
respectable.
This cannot be termed hon
orable for a man and much less
for a woman, how then can it
be respectful? Women are
more virtuous than, men, con-
sequently she must stoop lower
to do things that some men do.
Subscriber is very fortunate
in having SO good an adviser in
her own husband. He is not
narrow-minded because 1t Is
not narrow-mindedness to deny
that evil or wrong doing is
right or good 'or respectable,
and smoking is none of these.
Because some men smoke 1T
does not mean that 1t is re-
spectful. There is more respect
for the man who does not
smoke. And a woman who
smokes is not respected among
men, therefore it must be
evil. AS like attracts like, 1t
has its immoral tendency. If it
has an immoral tendency how
can it be respectable or how
can one who follows in evil be
refined and ladylike? By out
ward appearance only.
Holding secret counsel with
sin is as demoralizing and dis
graceful as If 1t were done in
public. This statement may not
be as soothing as cigaret smok-
ing, but that is because 1t is the
truth. A HAS-BEEN.

Recommending 1t, To

Popular Boston Lady Says Tonoline Has
Proven q G0dsend To Her.

1t is always interesting to listen to the
statements of our friends, and especially when
you know they are sincere and honest in what
they say. Added interest is created in a state
ment coming from one who has spent life
time in Boston, where she is well known So
cially.
Such a person is Annie Stewart, who re-
sides in Boston, and Is possessed of the re-
spect and confidence of her as. ,ciates, and liz
willing for anyone to call on he to verify til,
following signed testimonial:
II have suffered with stomach trouble for
the past seven years. 1t took the form of in.
digestion and dyspepsia. had dizzy spells
and headaches. and after I ate a little food it
would ferment and cause gas to form in my
stomach. had pains all over my body. and
was chronically constipated. My liver was tor
pid, and felt generally miserable. had doc
tored and had been in the hospital. but re.
ceived no permanent relief. l was so nervous
and restless that at night | could scarcely
sleep. The gas pressing under my heart caused
palpitaton, and when I arose in the morning
| was Just as tired as when I retired. About
two weeks ago began to take tonoline and
can truthfully state that it has done wonders
in my case l am feeling like new woman
night through and hive no more aches or
pains in fact, It has cured me, and I am
recommending it to all of my friends rs !.
has been a Godsend to me-
All druggists sell and guarantee tonoline.
Caution AS tonoline is recommended as a
flesh builder those not wishing TO increase
their weight Is pounds or more should not
take It continuously.
