The common green frog has been discovered to possess an unsuitable greed for wasps. This extraordinary appetite does not seem to be in the least checked by an occasional sting. The protecting color of the frog, which sits motionless upon leaves, no doubt deludes the most wary of insects into a sense of security.

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax

Masculine sincerity seems to be at
stake.
Any number of my girls have writ
ten to me recently and begged me
to reconcile the sweet. modest, home
loving girl men profess to admire
with the gay and giddy creatures on
whom they show their attentions.
Here is a little letter from an anX-
ious maiden which fairly duplicates
dozens of other letters from dozens
of other puzzled girls:
Dear Miss FairfaX-Are men Just
lot of talk or what? Recently an
acquaintance of mine said that he
didn't like a girl to use even pow
that he had very little use for girl
der; that he liked the refined type
who flirted and that he, even he-a
nan-cared little or nothing for
chance acouaintances. But when l
introduced him to my friends-sweet.
refined gi:!s-he almost ignored
them. And he has been seen out with
girls he would hardly meet in his
own circle and yet has seemed very
devoted to these questionable look
ing, made-up creatures. How do you
account for it|
If could entirely account for this
situation all the peculiarities of hu-
man nature would be revealed to me.
There are explanations of our own
Inconsistencies, but they do not gloss
over the fact that inconsistent we
humans are. Men do like sweet, re-
fined, natural girls-and when they
are thinking about it seriously and
sanely. their good Judgment makes
them realize that they not only like
but actually prefer "Sweet Simplic-
lty" and Miss Modesty" to Paint
and Powder
So much for sane. human judg-
ment.
We all know the story of the man
who swore off drinking, marched
proudly and bravely by three gilt
tering saloons and then took himself
into the fourth to treat himself for
the strength of character he had just
shown.
Human beings are like that Men
like modest, refined girls, but they
have a "hankering" for the forbid
den-the corn-sillS cigarets they
smoked behind the haystack in their
teens. the circus they sneaked off TO
when supposed to be doing the
chores. the runaway trip to the pool
rarlors on prayer meeting nights.
The spirit of adventure, the desire
for change, curiosity about the for
hidden-all these make it possible
logical even-for men to prate of
their high ideals and then galltvant
off after that which is most COM
pletely unrelated to the ideals OF
their preaching.

Advice to the Lovelorn
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1. am 10 years old and am going
with fellow who is 16. He has al
ways treated me nicely And he
cares very much for me. But the
other night he asked me something
that hurt my feelings, and later he
asked to be forgiven. Which l did
because l love him. Would I do
wrong by keeping on going with
him? He has been different since
Please give me advice. Mother does
not object to my going with him.
WORRIED ONE.
Worried One, one of the lessons
you should learn right away, is that
love without respect is like a bird
with broken wing. And no boy who
would hurt a girls feelings as this
boy has hurt yours, has the proper
respect for his girl friend. What if
your mother does not object to your
going with him, you know very we'll
she would object if she knew the
circumstances as you have told me.
Besides you know very well that
you are half dozen years too young
to use the word love in connection
with your own feelings. There are
many. many boys in the world, and
this boy has proved himself un-
gentlemanly, and even worse. You
can not do better than to forget your

Policing the Retailer

Every housewife can police the re-
tail grocer of her town. First, she
can see that they have the United
States food administration pledge
card display in their stores before
she consents to patronize them.
She can also check up on the
prices charged for standard foods,
such as meat, -four, sugar, potatoes,
beans, butter and apples, and if she
finds she is being overcharged she
should report it at once to her local
food administrator.
Most local food administrators
are publishing from time to time
tables of food prices based upon the
actual reports of wholesalers and
retailers of that community. At a
glance the housewife can see what
the wholesaler charges the retailer
and the lowest price quoted by the
retailer to the consumer.
But l can't get such prices as
those where l trade" one woman
said after reading the list
Then she should change her gro
Ger. Profiteering should be report
ed and the disloyal grocer should
not be patronized by patriotic house
wives

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l am going with young man and
we love each other dearly. But when
he gets out with a bunch of fellows
he begins to drink. l don't know if
he gets what you call drunk, but L
know he drinks, because l can smell
it on him. Am l doing wrong If l
go with him when l know he drinks :?
His mother does not know it or he
would get punished. Please give
me advice. L do not know what to
do. Both of us are very young.
S. S.
do not advise young girls to give
up boy friend because he trespa ss-
es occasionally. But on the other
hand, l think if a boy loves a girl
dearly, he will behave himself for
her sake. Have you demonstrated
with him about his drinking? Sure
ly if he loves you dearly he will not
hurt your sensibilities by doing that
which you do not like BY all means.
never get it into your head that you
can marry the young man and re-
form him. That has never, never
been done. Remember that if YOU
cannot reform the man before YOU
marry him, and when he is not sure
of you, you never can do so after
wards. And since you are very young,
had you better not bide your time a

Wrinkles Disappear in
Less Than 10 Minutes

What if you could look in your
mirror and see your wrinkles. crow 8
feet, age-lines and flabbiness literally
melt away while you looked? You
would scarcely believe your own eyes.
Yet it is within your power to witness
such a miracle" this very day. You
need only mix a teaspoonful of pow
dered tarkroot in teaspoonful OF
water, smooth this soothing creamy
lotion over your face-and watch the
hated lines and says vanish IKE

younger in appearance! Even quite
old faces are very materially rejuVen-
ated.
Tarkroot is not cosmetic, not a
make-up-it is to be washed of en-
tirely in half hour or so. 1t is de
cidedly beneficial to the complexion.
So harmless you could eat 1t. II Is
difficult to believe so simple thing
can accomplish such marvellous re-
suits. in lust a few minutes, but the
experiment is most convincing. Just
get an original package of powdered
tarkroot from your druggist and fol-
low ons.-Advertisement.
