No man has ever successfully
lived unto himself alone.
The poor mixer" has not learned
this. Social mal-adjustment is his
trouble. If he would get his right
full share of joy from the passing Of
the days, he must learn the value
of contact and participation with
others in this Group game of life.

Alone Most of the Time

Dear Martha Lee: I came from small
town to Indianapolis almost a year. ago. /
thought l would get along better. but /
cannot say that l have. Loneliness is my
trouble. l am poor mixer. / don't care
much to be with people and as have no
near relatives l am alone most of the time.

OSCAR L. NJ.
You can come out of this lonely
Acondition, Oscar, but you'll have to
1pvork. People don't care for us if
we don't care for them, and vice
versa. Notice and find out what the
folks with whom you are thrown in
contact at work are interested in.
Then talk to them about these in
terests. This will open your mind
to things outside of your own little
round and will make them know you
are human.
Resolutely refuse to wrap yourself
about in your own thoughts. Really,
the world is like a looking glass. 1t

low, and searched for hours for a
trace of the beggar. One evil-eyed
old bag did admit that crippled
beggar had once lived there with
his married daughter, but she either
did not know or would not give the
daughter's name. And at the house
she pointed out to me as the Grip
pies former domicile l found stolid
young Polack couple who'd never
heard of the beggar or his daughter.
So there the trail ends, for the mo-
ment, anyway. He'll probably show
up at his old stand tomorrow at the
park and 1 can get a good look at
him, at any rate"
IF he makes a pretense Of selling
pencils and chewing gum he's got
to have a license, hasn't he?" Faith
asked thoughtfully. Couldn't you
trace him that way?"
Bob's blue eyes regarded her with
fond admiration. 'Darned clever,
these Chinese" he grinned at her.
There's only one drawback. We
don't know his last name. and it's
unlikely that he takes out license
merely as Phil the Beggar.'
Don't laugh at me-" Faith
begged. DO you think it's abso-
lutely ridiculous for me to suggest
that he might have been hired to
kill Mr.. Cluny. hired by some one
who had a grudge against him but
who would not risk his own life to

Kelly says he is all crippled UP

Pains That
Never Came

Here's glorious news for long-suf-
fering womankindl To every woman
who periodically has suffered pain.
Menstruation need no longer be pain
full. And it is Science that is speak
ing.
Specialists have developed a tiny
tablet called midol. It's simple thing,
utterly harmless to a girl of fourteen,
but it brings relief in five to seven
minutes. And is effective twelve
hours or longer!
Nidol Is NOT a narcotic. 1t has no
effect whatever on heart or nervous
system. 1t acts directly on those or
gans affected by menstruation. They
function normally, as they should,
but the pain is banished. Complete
relief-yes, perfect comfort-follows
midol.
Your druggist has midol for SO
cents, in a slim aluminium box to
tuck in your purse.
