Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
Is years old and am in love with boy
my age. l see MIN often. but never
speak to him first. Should l wait for
him to speak first? Please tell me
what to do. SALLY.
, 1t Is your place to- speak to the
young man first, that is, If you are &C
quaintances; if you are strangers, do
not speak. l consider it unfortunate
that a 15-year-old girl believes herself
in love. Doubtless you have built an
ideal which you love. If you knew
the young man you would find him
quite different from the boy you think
he is.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am girl Is
years old. l don't like freckles and
have very many on my face and hands.
/ am afraid to use double strength
lotions for fear it will ruin my face.
The wind seems to burn my face terri
bly,. Please print recipe for removing
freckles. o. w.
I do not encourage drastic treatment
for freckles, and would not therefore
advise you to use lotion doubly
strong. Without a doubt such treat
ment would injure your skin. Freckles
are very apt to disappear to great
extent of their own accord. Very
likely YOU will not notice them in three
or four years.
A simple bleach. efficacious in some
instances, is made from two ounces OF
Tactic acid, one ounce of glycerine and
half an ounce of rosewater.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am young
girl 16 years of age. | am in love
with boya about II years old. He
has nevei<$ gone with me. but l
would like to go with him. Please ad-
wise me how to get him to keep COM
pany with me.
A LONELY GIRL
To "get him to keep company with
you, you would be running after him.
1t Is not a girls place to seek man
and when she does she shows very
poor taste. Be reserved and let young
men come to you. At the age of Is
you need not worry about not having
a sweetheart because you are too
young to have one. In due time some
one will take an interest in you with
out your seeking him.

The plan of advertising the new
medicine DrecO is so open and above
board and shows such honesty Of pur.

small wonder that Dreco has sprung
into such popular favor everywhere
it is introduced. You frequently read
the testimonials printed by medicine
companies from persons living in
distant cities but with Dreco we print
the testimonials from persons resid-
ing close by-many right here in the
city, giving their street address, so
if every word you read about Dreco
was not true, we would soon be ex-
posed. Here is one of the recent
statements received from responsible
home town man. He is Mr.. J. Gregg,
resident of Richmond Ind, and says:
'Dreco has surely done me lot of
good. My liver is active again so that

account feeling nor dizzy spells. The
pains in my limbs, arms and back are

digesting everything l eat without
causing gastritis, pains or uneasiness.

freshed and full of energy. No medi

Dreco is the pure liquid extract of
many different roots, herbs, barks and
leaves, which act on the vital organs
of the human body. After taking Dire
CO it is noticed that the stomach is
soothed and the gassy condition elm
mated; the liver becomes active, re-
lieving headaches and that dull tired

strengthened; ~ appetite increased;
bowels act with ease and regularity
and the whole system takes on re-

What's Il, a Name
NElLIE
(Copyright)


There is considerable room for
doubt in assuming that Nellie is
deriva tive or a contraction of stately
Eleanor. Though some etymologists
claim that the former name is evolved
in the lengthy process between the
original Helen and the final Lima, there
are two other sources from which
Nellie might well be sprung without
such a formidable history of deriva-
ton.
The Dutch have a name which they
call nellie, meaning horn" which is
pronounced the same as our Neelie and
might easily. be the direct progenitor
Of this popular little name. For those
who reject this derivation, there is the
German nellie which has wide vogue in
all countries under tentonic influence.
1t was evolved through the quaint
English Petronella, feminine name
given in honor of Saint Peter.
The first Petronella, was said to
have been his daughter. For that
reason, the name was exceedingly
popular in Spain as Petronilla. In
Norway it made its appearance as
Petronille and was shortened to Mile,
a name which corresponds very close
ly to our Nellie.
The bloodstone is Nellie's tails

AS a Woman Thinketh
BY Helen Rowland
'pyright, 1920, by The Wheeler

Z, U,
Syndicate. Inc.)
Every Wife looks blithely forward
to the Summer Vacation. AS sort of
domestic holiday-An annual honey
moon!
She dreams Of lolling indolently on
the beach, stepped in sweet irresponsi-
bility, clover blossoms, and starlight
OF strolling under a mellow moon,
holding hands.
Or Of posing gracefully in a wide
verandah, clad in frilly frock and a
picture hat,
And flirting with her own husband.
She dreams, figuratively speaking, of
BURYING her wedding-ring - that
symbol Of a thousand petty worries
and responsibilities
And of being Just a care-free GIRL,
again!
And then-with visions of some
idyllic Fairyland filling her soul
She writes for the summer-resort
catalogues.
And they fume and fuss and worry
and argue over where they shall go.
And correspond with twenty or more
Iapacious hotel proprietors,
And finally compromise" on some
thing that they don't want, but CAN
afford. or on something they DO want,
but can't afford.
And, after that, she has nothing in
the world to do,
But find a place for the maid, for
the summer,
And send the rugs to cold storage.
And find somebody to take care of
the cat,
An hi fIN 10 81
And put away all the woollen things,
in camphor.
And see that the ice, and the milk,
and the newspapers are stopped,
And make sure that the last of the
laundry has come home,
And pack all the trunks,
And unpack them all again, to get
out something she put in by mistake.
And repack them-half a dozen
times,
And put all the tooth-brushes, and
the sweaters and the toilet articles in
the grips,
And find his steamer-cap, and his
fishing tackle, and his old shoes, and
his dancing pumps and his Sneakers.
And rush for the boat, at the last
moment,
soap, in the state-room,
And see that he doesn't sleep under
an open window and catch cold,
And write to all the separate mem
bers of the family, the moment they
arrive,
And unpack his things, and find his
clean handkerchiefs, and his bathing
suit, and his canvas shoes,
And fancy up" the hotel room, so
that it will look a little more home
like,
And find something for him to do,
while she finishes unpacking,
And ask the maid for more towels
and an extra blanket,
And order his shaving water, and
get out his sport shirts,
And find the lost chord" in his bath
ing suit,
And run a new draw-string through
| it,
And wait for him to finish shaving,
And find the court-plaster,
And try to explain why there are so
many mosquitoes,
And find the citronella,
And convince him that he has the
very best table in the dining-room,
And sympathize, when the fish don't
bite,

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good

Most soaps and prepared sl1ampoos
contain too much alkai. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Mu1sihed cocoanut oil sham

less). is much better than anything else
YOU can use for sharnpooirg, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance Ct rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily.

That such productions as "All

the very high percentage Of young
sters in the large audience at the
Grand last night, and who appeared
to enjoy the rough and tumble come

ton Of the women performers cos
tunes and the one or two suggestive
supposed tolbe-witticisms that were
passed over the footlights. The mu-
steal comedy was above the average
of its class, the costuming artistic
and beautiful, and the scenery light

cast worked hard and their efforts
