As you have helped so many

me. 1 am eighteen years old and
I am in love with q man several
years my senior, but this particular
man does not seem to be interested
in me at all. He tells me he will
call me up a certain day and time,
but he doesn't do 1t and 1 am
thoroughly disguised with him.
There Is an out-of-town man who
loves me, but do not love him.
He wants me to marry him. I know
I could learn'to love him IL could
put the other man out of my mind,
but it seems that is quite impossi-
BILE for me to do.
Please advise me what to do. Do
you think that would be a spite

loves me? BABETTE.
Not only a spite BRIDE but a
very unhappy girl. Love is one of
the few things in the world zone

Just grows. Some day you will
love a man who will love you and
you'll forget the man you now
think you love. Just because one
man does not love you is no rea-
son why you should flop into an
other mans arms. One-sided love
is not enough to make a happy
marriage. You are young enough
so you can afford to wait a while.

MY first relief came after using one

has been restored back to normal con-
dition, and my bowels discharge in a
proper manner now. l can eat any,
