BEAUTY AND HEALTH ,
By DIR. LILLIAN WHITNEY

Anna K.-Sulphur and molasses is an old-fashioned remedy for purify ing the blood. It is taken three days In succession. an interval of three days allowed to elapse, then again taken for three days.
 This little treatment is still car ried out by those who still adhere to 1t, in the springtime, not at this sea- son of the year.
 The only suggestion I can make for brightening your hair is to make & henna tea and brush this through your hair after a shampoo. l.. O. At Is very difficult to give reduction diet which will in no way interfere with the table food provid- ed for the family. While It Is not necessary for you to purchase spe- cial and expensive foods, at the same time you require an entirely differ eEt regima. For instance. your table may not be provided with an abund- ance of greens, such as spinach, let tuce and the like.
 You may be in the habit of having white flour foods exclusively. In q reduction diet all starchy foods are excluded, and the patient is advised abundance of greens. fruits. and either. whole wheat or gluten bread.
 L. G.--The preparation you mention has proven of benefit in some cases or plackheads and pimples. It Is not the treatment I advocate.
 From what you tell ne. think you are undernourished, and that yod- blood is impoverished You are prob ably constipated also.
 l cannot go into details for treat mont here, but will gladly map out a course for you to follow, if you will write me again lnclosing self-ad- dressed stamped envelope for private reply

Raggedy Ann asked.

Raggedy Ann asked.
 Yes, indeed" Mrs. Cookie an- swered. "I have molasses and sugar and things in the house and we can easily make a lot of taffy candy and roll it out into a nice door!',
 They waited and waited for the Howloon to return with the long iron bar, but when he did not return after a long, long time, Raggedy Ann said, "I shall run to the Goblin's' house and see what is keeping the How loon! Maybe he has grown tired and has gone to ssleep!"
 So. while Raggedy Ann went to- wards Hookie, the Goblin's house, Raggedy Andy and the others spread out all around the Cookie house, so that if the Goblin tried to get out, they could capture him.
 When Raggedy Ann reached the Goblin's shed, she heard the Howloon

 Friendship Is A Debt As We'll As A Gift

We Lose Our Friends Through Being SeCenered Or lyan ncal By Grating On Friendship And Through Change And Development of New Tastes And Ideas

that if they love you, it gives them carte blanche to boss you.
 Therefore your woman friend su- pervises yorr visiting list, and de. mands that all of your friends shall be her friends also, and that you must only like the people that she likes. Also that you must call in her doctor and go to her dentist and patronize her dressmaker and milli- ner and raise your children accord- ing to her schedule, and treat your husband the way she treats hers. '. By and by you get tired of being told where to get on and where to get off. and nagged into doing things that you don't want to do, and weary of having to apologize and explain to one who has no authority over you, and so, as painlessly as possible, you perform the surgical operation that bound you to one who was once your Siamese twin.
 Friendship is often bored to death. It Is said, but true, that the oioer we get, the more we like to talk about ourselves. Strangers won't stand TOT this, but our friends cannot escape us.
 Because they love us and are inter- ested in us gives us, we think, an ex- cuse to monologue to them by the hour about our own affairs. IT we are successful. we boast shamelessly of our triumphs. If we are failures, we tell over and over again the sad, sad story of our lives. If we have children, we discant endlessly about the smart thing the baby said, and Johnny's football record, and Mary's | beauX.
 Now, true friendship is full of syn:- pathy, it is patient and long suffer | ing. But human endurance has it's | limitations, and there cones time
 when, for sheer self-preservation, we have to drop the friend who has de- generated into nothing but a i0-inch auger. We still love Thomas and Sally, and Matilda, but their friend ship isn't worth having at the price l of perpetual boredom.
 We lose our friends through the in- | evitable change and development that life makes in us. We grow apart be- cause we have different interests
 and our tastes and ideas and habits are framed by a different environ ment. Nothing is a sadder expert.

Why We Lose Our Friends

T wonder" said a woman the oth- CT day, why it is that we lose our friends as we grow older? When we friends, but by the time we are mid dle-aged we are lucky If we have one or two friends left whom we love ana trust, and who love and trust US"
 Most of us have this same -experi- ence. One by one the lovely .intt- mates fade out of our lives, the cling ing hands let go. the feet that marched in step with us drop out so gradually that we scarcely know 1t, until, at last. there comes a day when we suddenly realize that we have hardly a friend left. We have only acquaintances.
 We lose our friends for many req sons. Chiefly, perhaps. through ego- tism. We get so absorbed In our- selves and our own affairs that we have no leisure or thought to give to other people, even to those who were once near and dear to us.
 A man is obsessed by his business. by his struggle to get money. A womans world is bounded by the four walls of her home, and those within 1t. They are too self-center- ed really to consider any one else, and 50 the visit that would have kept alive friendship Is never paid; the note of congratulation at a friends success or Of sympathy over some misfortune that has befallen him Is never written. It Is pitiful to think how much friendship is lost for the lack of ten minutes time, and pos- tage stamp.
 We lose our friends because many of us look upon friendship as a graft, instead of as special miracle of grace that has been bestowed upon IS. Because a man has granted us the privilege of his friendship, we feel free to exploit him.
 We feel that he should lend us money that we are under no obliga- tion to pay back. We consider that he should get us good jobs that we are too lazy to find for ourselves. We do not hesitate to ask the use of his automobile, and to make 8 free hotel of his house. We abuse his friendship for us, until to save him. self he lets us go. That is why some cynic has said that if the Lord would deliver him from his friends he would protect himself from his enemies.
 We lose our friends by making friendship a grinding tyranny. Wom- en are especially given to this, for there are very few women in the world who do not honestly believe

NOVELTIES IN SHOPS

There is a decided trend toward black undies but the new offerings are not the practical black bloomers and plain vests we have seen for so long. They are beautiful creations made up of pleated georgette and chantilly lace. and when the 6aintiest pink rosebuds or colored ribbons are attached to the soft black back ground the effect is charming. The lace trimmed slips in black georgette are especially attractive.
 Cord bracelets are among the new est novelties. It is the same kind of cord that, we see attached to pend ants. The bracelet Is snugly ad- justed to the wrist by jeweled slides. and small jewel ornaments at both ends of the cord serve as pendants.
 Cut steel is. fashionable in jewelry now. Neckbands of black velvet or ribbon mounted with small motifs of cut steel are among the latest nov cities. .ls.9S-

inside bowling as loudly as he>could; and a Howloon can howl extremely loud when he wishes to. Raggedy Ann found that the Howloon had gone into the shed and the door had closed behind him and locked him in.
 Raggedy Ann unlocked the door free. He had the long iron bar. Now, we will fix the Goblin!' the How loon said, Get upon my back. Rag gedy Ann and I will soon have you at the Cookie house."
 So Raggedy Ann got upon the Howloons back and in few mo- ments they reached the Cookie house. But their friends were mo- where in sight.
 'T wonder what could have hap pened?" Raggedy Ann said, and the HoWloon wondered too.

C0URTSHIP, MARRIAGE
By BETTY VINCENT .

Dear Miss Vincent: For the past two or three months, when l have gone to my girl friends home, her brother has shown me marked attAp- tiop. He gave me Christmas pres- ent,. but no birthday present. When we go to parties he dances with other girls more than he does with me and he often declares that he has no sweetheart or particular girl friend. But why should he give me that Christmas present? Then, sometimes when I say something clever his mother will say, Jerry. you have some girl But he always replies, Not my girl" Now. Miss Vincent, I wish you would tell me what you me quite puzzled. LOVE SICK"
 Consider the young man as a good friend. Very young men like to you try to make him declare his love he will be apt to turn from you, but If you are just good friend to him he will probably care more for you.
 Dear Miss Vincent: Is it prop CT for a high school girl to ask boy to a school dance? A says if B says if so the girl should have bought the tickets in advance. Who is right? PERPLEXED."
 A girl should never ask boy to dance: No girl pays for tickets when 8 man is to take her to a dance unless they are platonic friends. and then they may go fifty fifty, each getting their own ticket.
 Dear Miss Vincent: One day I went to the movies with a girl friend and her beau and my beau. While I was there saw a boy whom I had whom had given my silk handker- chief. excused myself from my crowd and went over to him, asking him to give me back the handker- chief. At first he didn't want to give it up. but when I insisted he did. Since then have met him several times and he seems to want to re- new our friendship. Now, I like both these boys. so what do you advise? Should give up my present beau and rehew the old friendship?
 WAITING" /.
 This Is . matter for you to decide yourself. Which man Is more inter- esting? Which one do you like to talk to better?"
 Dear Miss Vincent: As a man of 30 wish to ask you what I can do with a flapper who insists on send ing me books, cards and calling me up at my club and place of business. BALD HEAD"
 Absolutely Ignore her. Never an- swer her cards; always say you are "out" when she calls over the phone. and. If possible. avoid her in all so- Ecial gatherings.

 As halcyou breeding on a wintry
 sea- Dryden.
 The phrase "haloyon days" so suS- gestive of peace, happiness and pros perity, is derived from a fable. The ancient Silicians believed that during the seven days immediately preceding and the seven days immediately fol lowing the 'yinter solstice lDec. 21) the halcyon, or kingfisher,' brooded over her young in a nest floating on the water and that during that period the seas were calm and could be safely navigated by the mariners. For this reason they were called "halcyon days' when, as Milton has put 1t. Birds of calm sat breeding on the charmed wave.' The noun halcyon thus has become an adjective.
 Analogous to "halcyon days" is our Indian summer" Before the world knew anything about the American Indians, however, this season of the year was called "St. Martins sum- mer" because it comes near the day set apart in the church calendar in honor of that saint (Nov. 11).
 Shakespeare recognizes this season when he says Expect St. Martins summer halcyon days"

formed in early youth. but this is not true. The friends to whom our hee erts cleave, as Divid's did to Jonat as, are the friendships of our mature years. those we mako with the men and women whose hearts and minds answer ours when our characters are formed. and we know what we de- mand in human companionship.
 Friendship Is the most beautiful and the most comforting thing in life, but for 1t we have to pay price. for love the gift is always love the debt.
