Not until you are sure of your

that cannot survive transplauting TO

Perhaps you will find, as time goes

IAGARA FALLS, N. Y,
I'M Sept. 2.-It's beginning to

doesn't want that.
For Violas lovely curls are her
daddy's pride and joy. Tall, slen-

beautiful ringlets. looks all the
world like an Indian maiden.
Months ago she tired of her
curls. She wanted to have them
cut off. She wanted to wear her
hair bobbed like other girls of
her age.
But Daddy Leach wouldn't stand
for it. 1t would break his heart,
he told her, if she did.
Now Viola is an obedient child.
She wouldn't do anything her
father forbade.
"BObby's" plans, however, for
his second jaunt over the rapids
he made his first one in a steel
barrel thirteen years ago-brought

you call it off I'll not cut my

Except where nasal defects exist
there should be no trouble with re-
curing colds If a person is living

Here are a few points that might
be written down and remembered in
this connection:
Most people realize that exposure
and chilling are likely to produce
colds. This is due to a disturbance
Of circulation brought about through
the nerve centers controlling skin
circula ton which are over-sensitive
and feel an immediate reaction.
Now if the skin is put in good
shape there is a good chance Of
overcoming this. Bathing in cool
water, with it's accompanying reac-
ton, will help build up skin resist
ance. Getting gradually accustomed
to gentle drafts also will help.
Another stunt is to stand in a foot

WHATLL I DO: Yes, it is a bad
case of puppy love, and, because
you evidently have the more severe
attack, you are in danger Of losing
even the friendship Of this boy. The
point is to keep his friendship. Then.
if it should ripen into love, all well
and good. The chances are even
that your puppy love" VIII become
real love. or that you will find some
other man has won your heart be-
fore many years pass. At any rate,
you'll never make this boy love you
