BY MARTHA LEE

One Of the peculiar and pulling
problems facing every young man
and woman contemplating matri-
mony is the thought Of diverse
types. Although the somewhat an
cient version Of the attraction Of
opposities still is believed by many,
sometimes it is not good. hard
rule to adhere to and in others 1t Is.
A young woman has penned lit
tie missive somewhat along those
, lines. It follows:
Dear Miss Lee-Would you advise fol-
lowing the old sdage about the attrac-
ton Of opposites7 I am young woman.

It's a hard problem for anybody
|, to solve, Miss Puzzled" and it
merely is one Of the things modern
women have to face at sometime or
other
Life isn't one party after another
and women must come to the
realization that the best friends of
both man and woman is books and
friends who know enough to have
but about one might out" a week.
Your friend. Miss Puzzled" per-
( haps has matured a bit before his
time and he is all the better for
that. You don't have to be afraid
of his smoking, his swearing and his
few drinks. And, anyway, that
peculiar idea of man to take his
shoes of at home, was practiced by
our fathers and their fathers before
them. It's just mans nature.
Miss Puzzled" would be much
better off if she married her boy
friend than one of her own type.
For, in a few years, more or less, she
will have her husbands ideas and
will be all the better woman for it.

Cascarets are sweetened with
pure cane sugar and favored with
licorice; you simply eat them like
candy. Then sleep right on while
they are preparing your intestinal
tract for a thorough cleansing in
the morning. Cascarets never
cause discomfort or that nauseous
feeling usually associated with
laxatives.
The next time YOU have that
bilious, headachy, detected feeling
that comes from a disordered
stomach-or for any reason you
suspect liver and bowels are not
functioning just right-take a
