pains that might be traced to eye

you to some conclusions which will

Now, as I've reached the point:
Don't wait till you are really sick
before seeing the doctor. The
greatest pleasure the doctor has, Is
not TO struggle with desperate
disease. Rather it is to prevent
sickness.
The doctor can't be very proud
when he il reminded OF a sick, de-
bilitated, broken-down patient.
When he smiles it is when you
remind the doctor of some red
checked. cherry-lipped. robust indi-
vldual and ask him how he ever

~ r all the voices that sound through this old world Of ours,
what voice is so potent, SO familiar yet so strange as the
= Voice of Love. A tiny voice it is. nothing but a whisper,
yet il calls across continents and bridges and rolling oceans 1t
speaks and we must at once listen and obey if we would know
true happiness.
Happy is the maiden when she first thrills to the sound Of q
tiny voice that tells her that the world Is a Paradise wherein she
shall walk with her Beloved. Eagerly she listens to the strange
voice that she has never heard before, but is yet vaguely familiar
in its soft cadences- 1t is the voice of Love to which the whole
world is attuned, a very symphony Of sweetness that is the music
for the Song of Life. And so the maiden pauses while she thrills
to the strange voice.
Will the voice of love ever thrill the maiden? Will its
cadences ever carry the song Of happiness into her heart? Love,
himself, cannot answer that question, for, unhappily, he knows
that sometimes his voice speaks words that fall on ears that find
them boring and tedious. 1t cannot always compete with the
voice of the world when it speaks of fame and glory. and many
a maiden has found out only too late that the voice Of Love Is
the Voice of Truth and that all others ire false, telling Of hap
pness that is but q mirage.

young girls, 80 ! am taking this means Of answer
ing Anxious Sixteen" in the hope that others
may profit BY my suggestions.
Instead Of a formula for a liquid bleach ] am
recommending the use Of the blond hair shampoo
which is an old favorite with many of you. This
shampoo, in addition to cleansing thoroughly.
also bleaches slightly and keeps the hair fluffy
and healthy.
It is very important in making this shampoo
that a pure lemon soap be used. 1t probably will
cost approximately fifty cents, but this amount is
sufficient for two or three cleansings so that
the initial cost is not much. To preserve the
shampoo jelly made by the ingredients given
below, it will be necessary to place the prepare
ton in q clean jar that can be kept sealed when
too. the jelly should be kept in a cool place.
