Radio Appeals For Suffrage For

There are many who hold that radio programs must be for

Whatever may be the facts as to the radio Of

And that is about the truth of
1t with reference to all women.
Beauty can be attained and re.

price Is good health!
Besides, good health In this

beauty cannot long survive.
Worry undoubtedly undermines
beauty!
II worry grips you try first OF
all to define and to delimit your
fears.
A quiet survey Of the situation
win usually show that the grounds
on which the fears are based are
often hypothetical, sometimes even
highly improbable.
From such false premises the
most alarming deductions have
been reached. In this way the
mind often makes a false step
Worry never leads to anything
worthwhile anyway. Worry never

Beauty Is, of course, something

Beauty usually shows In the

We worry because we do not
