Please Tell Me
What TO DO
What's Wrong With Her?
BY CYNTHIA

What's Wrong With Her?
Dear Cynthia-Won't you and some of
your readers say what's wrong with me
after they're through with the follow
ing: Not many people have found fault
with me, yet know am not perfect ;
there is something lacking Please do
not think me conCeited IL I say that I
am considered very gooe looking. | am
also very popular with both sexes, old
anG young. Every one seems to take
a liking to me. for I am sociable and
have a sense of humor. | like to tease
the boys and usually get the best of
them in any conversation or argument.
They admire me, yet Cynthia, no fellow
has asked TO call or take me out. I am
a good dancer. but don't attend dances,
for do not approve of them. do not
use any cosmetics, as nature has blessed
me with good complexion.

happens frequently. l make the best of
II by entertaining the family with dane
ing and playing. This makes me forget
spent with girl friend at a good moving
picture place or theatre. Then there are
parties every week. which ! attend when
everything else gets tiresome. I love
my home and would appreciate II more
II I were not In It so often.
Now. why won't any fellows take me
out? I'm n neat. nifty dresser and do
not wear conspicuous clothes. Is II
because I'm not a "shimmy' dancer?
It's vulgar and l hate the sight of
"shimmYing" Or is II because do not
let the boys get familiar with me? My
sense OF Gecency does not allow that,
for familiarity breeds contempt Per-
haps 1t is due to the high cost of living.
II so, why do I see so many other girls
going out with young men? No. I'm not
jealous, just disgusted. Cynthia, dear.
won't you please tell what is wrong
with me?. JUST EIGHTEEN.
Probably you tease the boys too much.
Men and boys dislike ridicule more than
anything in the world

MILDRED came into the office TINS
1Vl morning with very preoccupied
air. She didn't smile when she said
good morning, and there was some
thing about her manner that kept the
rest of the girls from asking her what
was the matter. II seemed to be some
thing too serious to be talked about
Mildred took off her hat, hung 1t up
and went on into her Office without
even glance into the mirror or a
dab with powder pun.
"why the thunder cloudT' asked
one of the girls, after Mildred had
stalked silently out Of the room.
Don't ask me-" replied another one,
with n giggle. "And believe me, I'm
not going to ask her when she looks
like that"
Mildred spent the whole morning IN
this half sullen. defiantly agreeable
mood. At lunch time she frightened
up little. BY evening, when she closed
her desk and got ready to go home, sne
had regained her natural manner enough
to splash powder around with the best
of them. When she discovered the hole
in her heel, she exclaimed, Darn 1t
That's the second hole in two days,
with all of her usual energy. She went
out laughing and talking with the
othcrs--and the mystery was never
What the girls didn't know was this;
That one particular morning mad started
all wrong for Mildred. In the hrst place
she had washed her hair the night pc
fore and bad waved it with an iron IN :
stead of putting it up. Ot course
the wave didn't last over night, and
when she tried to fix her hair in the
morning it was impossible. Her arms
ached by the time she had finished fuss
ing with it and trying to make 1t look
like something human Then she
couldn't find clean waist.
DY THAT time it was serious world.
d There was nothing funny in the
situation and il anybody had tried to
tell her that there was, she would have
either burst into loud tears or broken
the first breakable thing she could pick
up. You know how it is yourself,
you've often felt that way!
Then this all took so long that she
missed her usual car and she knew per
fcctly well that Jim would talk to
Lillian all the way down in the car.
Now, isn't that enough to make girl
come into the Office rather solemnly
Can you blame her for not smiling until
the middle of the day?

EATONIC Users
DO This-Get the
Greatest Benefits

Chicago, Il.-Thousands of reports
from people all over the U. S. who
have tested Eatonic, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using it for a
few weeks, taking one or two tablets
after each meal.
Eatonic users know that it stops
Belching, Bloating, Heartburn, and
Stomach Miseries quickly, but the
really lasting benefits are obtained by
using Eatonic long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
~ out of the system. This requires a
little time, for Eatonic takes up the
excess aCidity and pOisOns and carries
them out of the body and of course,
when it is all removed, the sufferer gets
well, feels fine-full of life and pep.
If you have been taking an EatOnic
now and then, be sure and take it regu-
larry for time and obtain all Of these
wonderful benefits. Please speak to
your druggist about this, so that he can
tell others that need this help. Adv.

Ugh! CalOmel makes you sick. It's

CalOmel is mercury! When it comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, breaking it up. Then is when
you feel that awful nausea and cramp-

torpid and bowels constipated or you

sour, just try spoonful of harmless

Here's my guarantee-GO to any

Liver Tone for a few cents. Take
spoonful and if it doesn't straighten you
right up and make you feel fine and
vigorous, go back to the store and get
your money. Dodson's Liver Tone is
