''Smnk!''

The girl who lets periodic pains
interfere with her activities has not
heard of Midol. These wonderful
little tablets act quite harmlessly,
directly on the organs affected.
They do not interfere with nature,
but they do remove every particle
Of the unnatural, unnecessary pain.
Midol will end the most severe
monthly pain in five to seven min
utes.
MidoI is a marvellous discovery
made by a specialist. 1t is not a
narcotic, yet it ends all that need
less pain. And if you anticipate the
time, the expected pain will not ap-
pear at all. Tiny tablets in conven-
lent little metal case obtainable at
every drugstore. Isn't it folly to
suffer month after month? Many
have found Midol the quickest relief
for headaches, neuralgia, neuritis
and other pains.-Advertisement.

selves, If given opportunity. We only
hope that they will take advantage
Of this chance"
Espy, who has been in theatrical
work for more than a dozen years,
has seen unknown personalities
shoot to stardom almost over night
and, like many others, declares that
"the woods are full of talent that
