She Has a Tendency to Frrt.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have been in love with a girl for
over a year, and she loves me as well.
We both agreed to wait thrCa years
and then marry. Recently a boy
friend Of mine asked her to 20 out
with him and she answered no 81
am ngaged"-meaning to me. 1t
happened this boy friend does not
know about our love affair, and ne
told me what she said.
She has the habit OF smiling at
men who pass by when they smile
at her. She does not mean bad,
am sure, I think she don't realize
that it is wrong. ! have told her
that l saw her do il and she said
they act so silly she can't help
laughing sometimes May be her
friends are in the habit of doing
so. and she gets it from them.
What would you advise me to do
to cure her of this habit? Do you
think that by her refusing to go
out with my boy friend she was
being faithful to me? After she
has proven that she loves me for
over a year should I overlook her
tendency to firt, stick by her and
try to cure her of the habit?
Thanking you in advance for your
advice. A. NJ
T. S.-This girls mother is dead
and she has no one to give her
advice in these matters, so l want
to try to be helpful to her to the
best of my ability.
When this girl, who was so
square about admitting her loyalty
to you, realizes how common the
habit of grinning at men in the
street really is, | am sure she will
turn over a new leaf.
Your letter sounds as if you
were a sensible boy, and | feel
sure you will make this girl a
good husband. The decision to
wait for three years is very sound,
considering your youth.

Says Indigestion Results from
an Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments the
same as food left in the open air, says
a noted authority. He also tells us that
Indigestion is caused by Hyper acidity,
meaning, there is all excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach which prevents
complete digestion and starts food fer
mentation. Thus everything eaten sours
in the stomach much like garbage sourS
in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like toy
balloon. Then we feel heavy, lumpy
misery in the chest, we belch up gas,
we eructate sour food or have heart
burn, hatulence, water-braSh or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any pharmacy
four ounces of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful i'll glass of water before
breakfast and drink while it is effer-
vescing and furthermore, to continue
this for week. While relief follows
the first dose, it is important to neutral
lze the acidity, remove the making
mass, start the liver, stimulate the kid
neys and thus promote a free flow of
pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia and sodium phos-
phate. This harmless salts is used by
thousands of people for stomach trouble
with excellent results.
