MAKES 4 LONG
DELAYED VISIT
TO DAUGHTER
Rheumatism had her bound
hard and fast until she
took Tanlac.

when ny mother left here the
other day for a visit to my sister at
Moscow, Texas, a trip she has been
wanting to take for long time, but
couldn't until now on account Of rheu-
matism, she was one OF the happlesL
persons I ever saw. and I don't doubt
but that her friends there will soon
find out from her what Ianlac has
done for her" This statement was
made by J. 7. Watts. a well known
grocer, who lives at 500 North Stan
ton street. in a conversation with n
Tanlac representative, few days
ago
Mother has always been in good
health" continued Mr.. Watts, until
about a year and a half ago, when
she was taken with rheumatism in
her shoulders, arms and back We
bought many different sorts Of medi-
cines for her but she kept getting
worse and for the past eight months
she has suffered torture She was
laid up in bed for several days at
time and was unable to turn over
without help. She lost her appetite
and fell off until she weighed only
about ninety-six pounds.
After reading in the papers about
Tanlac relieving others here in FL Paso
OF rheumatism, we decided to get
mother to try IL, and the results have
certainly been remarkable. Tanlac
has not only relieved the rheumatism
but her appetite is splendid and she's
enjoying good health, especially fine
for one her age. When she left for
Moscow she took two bottles Of Tan
lac along, saying she didn't want TO
take the chance Of being without il.
OF course We are all delighted over
what Il has done for her and it's a
pleasure 10 recommend a medicine
that does so much good"

reason that I do not wish 10

more? Her actions make me be-
leve that she is doing this pur-
posely TO hurt my feelings.

lonely and bitter girl who longs for
love and attention and doesn't get It.
You have her brothers love, and she
is just the third party-the extra
wheel on the wagon on these eNcur-
siOns. Maybe he brings her along be-
cause he is sorry for the poor girl.
and perhaps her conduct comes from

But the greatest Mitchell feature
is the 100 per cent over-strength. In
the past three years we have doubled
our margins Of safety.
Safety parts are vastly oversize.
Castings are almost eliminated. Over
40 parts are built Of toughened steel.
We spend $4,000 yearly on radical
tests and inspections.
The result IS a lifetime car. Two
Mitchells that we know of have already
been run over 100000 miles each.

they are all in the latest Mitchells.
There are 81 features rarely found
in cars. These include a power tire
pump, dashboard engine primer, re-
versible headlights, etc.
There are shock-absorbing springs,
found on no other car. They make the
Mitchell the easiest-riding car. In two
years-since we adopted this feature
not a single spring has broken.

Les Miserables" is, without question.
the most splenuEd epic and dramatic

WHEN IS 4 GIRL A WOMANg
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


"A" says that a girl Of Il is a
child and not fully responsible
for her actions. ''B" says that a
girl OF that age is considered a
fun grown woman who knows her
own mind.
We would greatly appreciate a
few lines from your pen on this
subject s. G. E
State laws differ very much on this
question. Individuals mature at ages
which vary greatly. 1 have known
girls from 20 to p who were in nc
sense mature women. Generally IL
represents youth, not Womanhood;
and all youth has a real claim on
the protection Of maturity. / myself
feel that most girls Of 20 or under
are still children As for being fully
responsible for her actions, a girl
who is as young as Il surely has not
enough Judgment, understanding Of
herself, knowledge Of human nature
and experience TO be held accountable
for everything she does Any man
who tries TO hold Seventeen re
sponsibIe for the consequences OF her
youthful blunders is making a
blunder graver than any Of hers,
whatever they have been
