Please advise me. LONESOME.
Try being yourself, instead of just
a copy of many other girls, and you
may have better success.
However, the public dance hall GER

to amuse yourself in dance halls. II
is best to begin now to find other
sources Of entertainment, unless you
want to spend many lonesome Satur

Having girl friends. and not bother

you happier and probably will make

Exercise Is Best
Scientific tests made at many diff

towns, show that heat has much to
do with the physical activities of
the average person. In summer

At any increase in temperature above

and marked.
There is daily battle going on
with the forces and habits that
menace your health and strength.
You can only win by keeping the
health battlefront intact and your
reserves always ready to be called
into action. If temperature has such
an influence on ones mental and
