When Physical Scars Mar the Soul

hated enemies-were usually pres
ent. But this time there was no
good excuse for not going. That
party marked a new departure
for Anne. She was quite the
wittiest and most charming per.
son there.
One young man was enchanted.
He took her home. Anne tried to
find 1t in her heart to hate him,
but somehow the anathema that
she had pronounced upon his sex
did not touch him.
1t wasn't until two months
later when their engagement was
announced that he was entirely
conscious of the somewhat faded
scars. He did not think them a
Disagreement. And now he has
forgotten they are there.
If you have a nose that trou'
bes you because it isn't perfectly
chiselled, or a mouth that you
fear Is over-large. remember Anne
and her story, Forget the defect
and cultivate the real beauty
that comes from within.

on every subject? Is it necessary
to pretend to like what you don't

Her lips trembled. 1t was all
she could do to keep the tears

her wonderful pie. instead OF find

She cut the pie in silence and
rassed a generous slice to her
husband. He ate it in equally

HAD RHEUMATISM
FOR MANY YEARS
Got relief at last with
simple home treatment

A martyr to rheumatism for almost a
lifetime "a man from Wyocena, Wis,
writes that he can always get relief
with simple home treatment.
"As a man of seventy, for years
sufferer from rheumatism, want to
give my recommendation for Sloan's
Eminent" he says. "It is a fine
remedy and will do all that is claimed
for it."
Sloan's has been the standby of
rheumatic sufferers for years because
ct doesn't just deaden the nerves. 1t
helps the body to throw of the germs
and poisons that cause the trouble by
speeding up the circulation right in
the affected spots.
Apply a little lightly, without
rubbing. Immediately you feel a
warm glow of comfort. Stiff Joints
and muscles timber up. The aching
stops and soon you are completely
free from pain. Get a bottle today.
