You would have little to gain by

HoLU to Look Years
Less Than Your Age

The most aged face will look years
Younger after the use of ordinary Mer-
colized wax for week or so. This re
markable substance, because of its pc
culiar absorptve power, actually re
moves the thin veil of faded or with
cred outer cuticle, little at time.
Gradually The fresher. more youthful
skin underneath is revealed This alb
sorution process being a purely HYGIENE
one an entirely natural complexion Is &c
auired--quite different from an artificial
rf mplcxion. which appears anything but
girlish though often bearing painful
evidence of chiIdishness. An ounce of
Mercolized. Wax. obtainable at any drug
store. is sufficient to rejuvenate any com
plexion. 1t is put on like cold cream at
bedtime. and washed off moruings.-Ad-
vertisemeut.

Sweet Sixteen'S Troubles

Dear Miss Lee: 1 am going with a man
thirteen years older than l. Ms parents do
not mind my going with him, but they say
l am too young to marry. They want me to
treat him as a friend
He Is always talking about marrying. l
told him l win not marry because l too
young. What is your advice;
Should girls 16 years old have boy friends
and should they go with one boy? All the
boys go out with one girl E, T. F.
And if [ told you girls of 16 should
not have boy friends, you would-keep
on having them anyway, wouldn't
you? Oh, we'll I've no objection, as
long as they are just boy friends. But
you should not limit your friendships
to one boy.
This man is much too old for you,
and much too serious in his attentions
to you. So I'd suggest that you stick
to boys nearer your age

experience.
The average girl can be trained to
make her mother her confdante. The
training must start early. The moth
er must show a sympathy that makes
the girl realize that, even though she
does something of which Ter parent
mother will understand
and will give her advice instead of
<only condemnation.
A girl turns naturally to her mother
first, when she wants advice, unless
she has learned that mother will ig-
more her questioning. Then she de-
cides that, well, if mother won't tell
her what to do, she'll do whatever
she pleases

ize, as they never did before, that
a company which is constantly har-
rassed or which is denied an income
big enough to- finance the cost of
producing its service, cannot very
well serve its customers. In other
wrods, they have sensed that the
adequacy of their service and the
rates they pay for it are, in a very
large measure, governed by them
selves"
Mr.. Lewis states that there are
now more than 100000 stockhold-
ers in the public service companies
OF the nation; hat ownership of
these great institutions no longer is
confined to a few. This, he added,
constitutes ideal public ownership,
as contrasted with municipal-better
known as political-ownership, with
all OF its attendant expense and in
efficiency.
The continuing good service of
public utility companies, Mr.. Lewis
pointed out, is due to the fact that
utility men the nation over are con-
stantly %perfecting new and improved
methods which they pass along. The
Casper convention will provide those
in attendance opportunity to possess
