Whether the German armistice commission
has finally thrown up the job or not matters
little. Ali they have been able to do at any
time was to protest They had nothing with
which to back up their words and the negotia-
tions were mere form. No doubt the allies
will get along very nicely without them and
Germany's interests will still be looked after
as well as they deserve to be.

He is always accusing me of talk

My mother tells me to go with the
one who was brave enough to en-

fully angry at her sometimes.
don't think she has any right TO
tell me what to do. Others tell me
to forget this boy. but l really don't
think l could ever give him up.
BROWN EYES.
Follow the advice of your mother
and your friends. They can see
the situation in a clearer light
than you, because they are not in
love with the young man. If yon
could read some of the personal
letters from unhappy married
women which l receive you would
not for a minute consider young
man who is not a faithful worker.
A girl of eighteen is too young
to think seriously of marriage. Go
with different boys until you have
had enough experience in judging
character to marry wisely.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am four
teen years old Is it all right for
me to go with boys if my parents
do not object?
There is a boy who passes by
my home every morning who is
very good looking and appears to
be a nice boy. VIII you please
advise me how TO get acquainted
with him? ANXIOUS.
You are several years TOO young
to go with boys. Do not try to be-

passes your house. The better

Get a complexion brush and

brush, using warm water and the

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR

Did it ever occur to you that
every movie actress you have seen
has lovely hair, while the most pop
ular count their curls as their chief
beauty? In fact, many are leading
ladies just because of their attrac-
tive looks. Inquiry among them dis
closes the fact that they bring out
all the natural beauty of their hair
by careful shampooing, not with any
soap or makeshift, but with sim
pie mixture by putting teaspoonful
of canthrox (which they get from
the druggist) in cup of hot water
and applying this instead Of soap.
This full cup Of shampoo liquid is
enough so it is easy to apply it to
all the hair instead of just the top
of the head. After its use, the hair
dries rapidly with uniform color.
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear. The
hair is so fluffy that it looks much
heavier than it is, it's luster and
softness are delightful.
