Marye, my dear:
Haven't you any feeling of re-
sponsibility at all toward Florence ?
How can you let her risk the in
fluence of man such as you de-
scribe this artist Michele to be ?
After all, even though she does con-
slider herself sophisticated, she is
only a little untried girl without any
experience with the glamour of the
world.
And this man sounds like q tar
antula to me. He can't be much
if he hasn't anything better to do
than to attract lot Of silly, idle
women. But I'm judging him by
what you said about the stories Of
his past. Do you want to see him
make a conquest Of your sister-in-
law?
You said once that we didn't pro-
tect girls well enough when you
were growing up, but let me tell
you, Marye, that trusting girl with
nice young man was different
matter with US from trusting hel
with a lady-killer. We didn't ap

The mortality rate among presi.

If stranger visiting the city for the first
time was asked what feature of the place made

directly say cleanliness, for he would we'll know

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question:: Roy NJ. asks: Twill
you please tell me the name Of
medical healing astringent plaster
to use for inflamed kidneys?"
Answer: I do not know Of any
medicated plaster which will have
any effect on inflamed kidneys. Any
inflammation of the kidneys is pro-
duced either by infection through
the genito-urinary organs Or from
the kidneys being forced to throw
out excessive amounts of bodily
toxins.
Question: True and Tried writes:
eve have your book, read your
articles in our paper, and follow
your menus. But my husband or I
cannot handle the evening meal, so
l wish to know if it would be all
right to use orange or grapefruit
juice in the evening instead of a
meal"
Answer: There can be no harm
in your changing your meals about
so as to use the lighter meal in the
evening. Just balance the other
meals of the day accordingly.
Question: Very Anxious writes:
"My neck is very thin. If ! should
rub olive oil or cocoa-butter into
it every night would either or the
other tend to nourish it? Or could
you suggest something else? Has
either one or the other any fattening
properties ?"
Answer: The actual rubbing will
help to increase the circulation, but
oils are not sufficiently absorbed
through the skin to have any affect
in increasing fat in the tissues. The
best way to develop your neck is
to take suitable exercises for those
muscles in the neck. But there is
certainly no advantage in making
the neck fatter.

Editorial Comment
Keeping Up
Harrisburg telegraph

harrisburg telegraph
Don't be too quick to condemn the poor man
when you see him trying to buy an automobile,
a monograph, or radio set. You may say
he can't afford it. But he is making an effort
to keep up the standard of living which appeals
to him. And that is healthy desire and a
healthy effort if he has sense enough to keep
from stepping in clear over his head.
The untiring effort to raise the standard
of living is what has made America a rich
and successful nation. A la:k of contentment
with things as they are is what America has
had in full measure. That !zck Of contentment
has made many people unhappy-but it has
also accounted for the upward march.
