Birthmark.
My girl, aged IL, has birthmark on
her face, which shows up plainly. and
1 am wondering if anything could be
done about it.-Mrs. L. L.
AnSwer.-Probably it can be removed
or obliterated with vast improvement in
the girls appearance. Depends on the
type of mark, electrolysiS, radiln, car
bon dioxid diathermy or X-ray being
used in such cases. Your physician
will send you to reliable skin special
list, or will recommend one If you will
mention the city you prefer to visit for
treatment. Inclose a stamped enve-
lope bearing your address, with the re-
quest for good skin specialist.
Syphilis From Kiss.
Some time ago you stated that
syphilis might be contracted by kissing
if the disease was in the communicable
stage. What is the communicable
stage?-C. r.
Answer-When the disease is so con-
tracted the primary sore (chancer) de-
velopes on the lip perhaps five or six
weeks after incubation and resembles
an obstinate cold sore" Such cases
constitute less than per cent of
syphilitic infections.

Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

The facilities offered by nature, by
our own talents, and by the city in the
form of public amusements, make de
pendence on money for recreation and
entertainment unjustified. If some
families will look closely they will dis
cover that their financial straits are
due to overdependence on money in
this way Be so situated that you could
lose every dollar you possess tomorrow
and still be able to enjoy life and be
happy.

To assure the utmost daintiness of per-

discovered and perfected in Kotex labo-
