will do her more good than drugs. Your

this remedy be used on the face without

Wearing a rubber brassiere will help

larly every day. Business like exercise
will do more good than anything for il
will take off the super1uous and leave
the necessary healthy fat. Naturally
this would not apply for the face. An

Do Not Make Foolish Promise

Dear Cynthia-Do YOU believe in ante

engaged to a man who rides great deal on
a motorcycle. He wants to get me one and
wants me to promise to ride with him every
Sunday after we are married He Is quite
insistent about It,. MARY.
1t is a pity to make an issue Of such
things. but you had better take a stand
now, that you will not be tied down by
such binding promises. No one, can tell
what the years may bring forth. and a
man should not he encouraged to be go
exacting about unimportant things. How
ever. you should try to go with him as
often as possible.

Somehow

Somehow I never thought that You
would go,
Not even when red war swept
through the land
somehow thought, because I loved
you so,
That YOU would stay. I did not
understand
That something stronger than my
love could come,
To draw you, half.reluctant, from
my, heart;
! never thought the call of fife and
drum
Would rend our cloak of happi-
ness apart.
And yet, you went - AndL
did not weep
smiled, instead. and brushed the
tears aside.
And yet, when nighttime comes,
cannot sleep.
But silent lie, while longing fights
with pride
You are my man, the foe you fight
| my foe.
And yeti never thought that YOU

My Dear Father:
This being Mothers Day today we
have special arrangement made by
the P. 0. to take this day to write to
our mothers or to the next to her, if
$50 unfortunate as to have lost her.
We mark our letters Mothers Mail"
instead of Soldiers MAIL so it will
be sent out or have the first of notice
to other mail. So / am taking the
pleasure and opportunity of writing you
today.
/ am at the present stationed in
Paris and have been making the best
of it by seeing ali the sights l can
while here. / ran onto H. E. Cowart,
of the Tampa p o., the other day.
We were to take a trip up the Seine,
an excursion given by the Y. M. G.
A., but for reasons / had to give it
up for today. Will try to take it in
some other time.
You ought to hear me try to learn
French. | can talk it pretty good
now as long as / have something to
point at and make motions with my
hands.
We have good quarters here and the
French people make it their main
point to see that we are comfortable.
They are a good-hearted set of people.
| have seen several other interesting
places before / arrived in Paris, but
this city has some fine arts, museums
and statues. This seems to be the
home of art. Parks and fountains are
great. Was up on the Ferris wheel,
or "great Wheel" and all over the
grounds where the exposition was
held, but not allowed on the Eiffel
tower; it is a grand structure. Their
museums of wax are grand. Wax fig
ures of great writers, great men Of
France, officers of this war and other
wars back to Napoleon's time are
there, as well as scenes of wars from
today back to Roman times when the
persecution of Christians was on; also
several other things Of interest. Ev-
|erything was as natural as life itself.
The passengers then were sent to
but little short in stature. OF course
| it was made from a photo and was
good at that. General Pershing's fig
lure is so natural it looks as if he were
going to sneak. Well, IN short, spent
several hours Of enjoyment in there
alone.
How is everyone at home Hope
you are in good health.
/ haven't had any mail yet but ex-
Ipect some any day and hope it will be
soon. Are you still in business in Tar
Epon? | am addressing this to you
there. Guess you will get it o. K.
