Why do girls firt?

Why do girls iirt?
Often the question mas been rails
ed by despairing SWANS. frantic
husbands and rate fathers and mo-
theirs.
Now the real truth is out. A girl
fiirts because she has an inferiority
complex. Here we have something
to put our teeth in.
This explanation comes from
Andre Tridon. who has written sew
who knows all the completes by
their first names
THE i~nferiority complex is ee-
veloped in childhood" he told me.
The little girl in school, not particu-
larlv apt, soon believes she is mem
tally inferior.
THE feminine instinct. which can
always be relied on. warns her that
If she is V e going to attract atten-
ton it must be by sons other means
J than her scholarship md mental at

Then she begins to draw atten-
ton TO herself by her curls or her
engaging smile or some physical at
tribute. And another flirt, gold-dig-
ger, vamp or siren. is on the a
LAS she grows older her complex
natures. Sub-consciously. she still
believes she is inferior mentally. But
she thinks If she can always be sur
rounded by men who seem TO be
madly in love with her, no one Will
notice this. She won't even notice
II herself.
"She needs the constant assurance
she is being admired and that h
can charm men. She hirts eau
that is her way of getting what she
must have"
So you see when a woman once
gets a firm growth of inferlority
complex the matter is out OF her
hands. Even IL she wished to re-
nounce her ways she couldn't. Her
complex wouldn't let her.
However. going further into the
matter, / learned that everyone who

Some wise person once remarked
that the most important thing that

good sense of the mother.
The milk may be of the purest

Too many people in the first

TO quit until the disease has such a
foothold it is practically impossible
to effect a cure.
Tuberculosis is caused by a bacil-
lus or germ so small it can be seen
only under the microscope. Sun
shine will cause these germs to curl
up and die, which explains why the
disease thrives in houses where
fresh air and sunlight are shut out.
1t also explains why tuberculosis Is
not contracted out OF doors.
When exposed to infection. people
in good physical condition are safe
enough. because nature provides de-
lenses which destroy the bacilli. 1t
is when the body is weakened by
sickness or improper living that the
germs gain a foothold.
When the disease has once started
there is a battle on in your body be-
tween the invading germs and the
defenses mature has provided. 1t is
your business to strengthen your de-
lenses by rest. fresh DIR. proper food
and good health habits.
The encouraging thing is that the
tuberculosis death rate is decreasing
yearly more disease is being pre-
vented and more lives are being
saved. Most cases can be cured il
