Calomel is mercury! When it comes

ANSWER: You are a very
foolish little girl to be worry r
ing your childish mind with love
affairs and such things. Why
not be content to be the sweet
young girl that nature meant
you to be-why not have the

never have again? Put boys and
love affairs out of your life un-
til you are older.
