The Girl.

Adolescent boys sometimes seem to
change their whole nature In the pres
ence Of girl. They lose all the crude
gesture. rude speech, unwilling attitudes,
laziness and are seemingly changed as
by magic. That Is quite natural. It Is
the influence of the feminine nature
upon the masculine one and is to be
valued, not derided. Every time a boy
practices the polite and amiable man
ners Of beguilement he acquires some
little degree of growth spiritually, mem
tally. socially. Which Is good for him
and for society at large.
Mothers are usually very touchy about
this attitude in their boys. Frequently
they develop bitter jealousy of the girl
who seems to affect their son the most.
THAT girl is bone Of contention be-
tween mother and son and often be-
comes the center Of the force that dis
Tupts a family.
"Ie viii sit in his chair and see me
clear the table, or carry coal up the
stairs, or trot endlessly on errands about
the house. but let that girl come around
and he is all attention. He waits on me
hand and foot. All for effect. The
same thing with her.
"If she gets out Of her chair he Is
standing ready to escort her across the
room as II Sr1e were a cripple. Sno drops
her handkerchief dozen times an hour
and he leaps to pick it up. She must
get birthday present and Christmas
present and what-not, but he couldn't
tell you the birth date Of a single men,
Der Of the family this minute.
And who is she, anyway? There isn't
anything extraordinary about her that
can see. She isn't any prettier than
any other girl. She hasn't any talent
IF 1t were not for her eyes and trick
Of smiling she would be plain dumb
But he's right at her finger end. I wish
she'd move a thousand miles from
here"
What good? It is more than likely
that II she were to move tonight there
would be another girl, much the same
In her place next week. It is not sc
much this particular girl as it IS CIR
that does this to the boy. She is the
necessary stimulus to his growth. She
fills very important place in his life
She calls out his budding manliness
She calls him to struggle to evolve into
a self-sustaining, self-supporting man
She calls to him to express his tender
ness, his understanding Of a woman'S
place in a mans life. She Is a great
power for good if she is good, and most
girls are,
It never helps to call her that girl. ;

Attractive Invalidisnl.

The one time in her life that the busy
woman must be most attractive is when

impossible, nevertheless it is quite true.

certainly prettier to look at than the
eternal deadly white enamel that hos
pitals are so fond Of. And it can be
kept as clean. Tiled floors and walls
are practical because they are so easy
to wash, but is there any reason why
the thing should not have color to cheer
it up? When you are sick more than al
any other time you need everything
around you to be gay and amusing. !.
This is a depression. think that II
an invalid is surrounded by pretty
things and feels that she herself is look

to a Diet Without Adding
Weight to the Body

Doctors everywhere are warning
against the recent trend toward
strenuous diets for weight reducing.
Many Of these new diets are
serious in their consequences. Be-
cause they lack roughage, constipa-

system suffers. Health and beauty
are stolen.

you take off weight because you
prevent constipation.

the body. It just sweeps your in
testines clean of poisonous wastes.
No pills nor drtigs can play the
part Of ALL-BRAN in a reducing diet.
You will like the appetizing, nut
sweet flavor Of ALL-BRAN. Eat it
in clear soups. On salads. Soaked
in orange, prune or fruit juice. AS
q cereal with milk or cream. De-
licious with honey added. Just eat
two tablespoonful daily-in chronic
cases Of constipation with every
meal.
