CAN LOVE BE
PLATONIC?
BY Beatrice Fairfax
nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ Do you believe there is any
such thing as so-called "platonic
love-? am 90 years old and am
in love with girl IT. We have
been keeping what might be
termed STEADY, company" for the
past two years.
When we first met and started
going out she was very much in
love with me. However, lately,
she seems to have cooled down
considerably. When l asked for
an explanation. she stated that
while she still admires me q lot
and would not give up my friend
ship for the world, nevertheless
she has lost whatever infatuation
she felt for me and likes mo
now only as a pal and friend. Is
the flame, once dead, capable of
being revived?
The way she expresses 1t is
that she doesn't want to love any
one person yet, as she feels she
is too young. / agree with that
and am very willing to wait If
only the old flame can possibly
come back. FAITHFUL,
Platonic love is only another
word for friendship. Your friend
and you, yourself, are quite right
in realizing that she is too young
to be in love with anyone yet or
even to understand what love is.
/ suggest that you think of her
hereafter as friend. If you and
she prove cOngenial friends, with
mutual taste. your friendship may
later on deepen into love.

The proper care of
your teeth and gums
Why risk this balm?

DEcAYED teeth and diseased gums are largely
unnecessary There is way to prevent them-a
to avoid the pain and the expense and the pos
sible injury to general health that accompany them
And the way of prevention is simple nowI
Once it thought that merely brushing teeth
could prevent them from decaying But people
found that that wasn't They brushed their teeth
regularly with good cleansing dentifrice but
still their teeth decayed. and still their gums
became infected.
The reason for that simple. Most decay r..
suits from acids that form every day in everyone.s
mouth and attack the tooth enamel Gum diseases
too, like Pyorrhea, usually result from an acid con-
dition at The Danger Line-the line where gums
meet teeth. No toothbrush reach into the
crevices along The Danger Line, in all the little
assures on and between the teeth. To prevent
trouble there it is necessary to neutraze the acids
that cause decay and that rritate the gums.
There is dentifrice which will do that H Il

Therefore, it is very important
that the roe be correctly cooked

Roe, of course, Is the eggs OF
