The big stars In this country still
are the favorites over there and the
only way pictures with these stars
can be shown in foreign countries Is
by superimposing titles over the

The Marry-Go-Round
BY Helen Rowland

Every now and then you
read Of one of these super
artists who has wooed, mulcted
and deserted one woman after
another. But, what If he DID
help himself to their jewels
and cash balance wasn't it
worth it to any woman to be
made love to properly and ro-
mantically, at least once?
Just a little tenderness, a
little delicacy, q little ardent
but restrained devotion would
be mama from heaven to
many a girl.
That was the charm Of the
Old-fashiOned lover. He knew
WOMEN! He knew the .alue
Of the waiting game, the pro-
tecting manner, the adOring
approach.
He could say more with a
look, q gesture, an unfinished
sentence, than q modern Romeo
can say with $40 worth Of
gasoline and gin.
No matter how light his love,
he was always enough Of the
artist to make it SEEM serious.
He was so convincing that he
almost convinced himself that
the woman he happened to be
kissing at the moment was "the
only girl in the world!"
Brotherly love is all right in
its place, but even the most
ardent feminine can't extract
much "kick" out Of a casual
pat on the back and a "Give-
us-a-kiss-old-girl" sort Of tender
ness.
What the modern grab-aS-

Diet and
Health
BY DR.. Logan CIendening

A peculiar condition arises
often in people who take head
ache remedies regularly. They
develop a general body condi-
ton which they think needs
the headache remedy to clear
up; when, as a matter Of fact,
it is the remedy itself which Is
causing the trouble.
This may not be very clear,
so stated, but we can under
stand it by outlining a typical
case.
A man begins to have head
aches. He is also constipated.
He ascribes the headaches to
constipation, but simply taking
cathartics does not relieve him.
So he begins taking headache
remedies ombined with a
cathartic drug. The headache
remedies are usually acetanilid
or phenacetin This treatment
gives him relief so that he can
do his work, and he takes the
remedy regularly.
Soon peculiar change Is
noticed in his complexion. First
he looks muddy" This is
ascribed to the constipation and
he takes more Of his medicine.
AS time goes on the COM
plexion changes from muddy to
dusky and finally to actual
blueneSS. His lips, gums,
tongue and nails especially are
an unhealthy blush tinge.
This is also thought to be due
to the exaggerated constipation
and more and more Of the
headache constipation remedy
is needed.
Even when he goes to a
physician the dusky color is
ascribed to some slight amount
of heart failure natural enough
in a sick or middle-aged person,
and no inquiry is made into
the habitUal use Of the head
ache remedy.
The real condition is due to
the combination Of sulphur
with the red coloring matter
Ohaemoglobin of the blood.
When this occurs the normal
red color of the blood Is
CHI nged to a blue tinge.

Points for Modern ROmeOS
A lot Of books have recently
appeared on such subjects as
"The Art of Love" and '"Tech-
nique of the Love Affair; but
they must have been read
chiefly by women. The men do
not seem to have digested their
contents.
LOvemaking is one of the
fine arts. But, alas, the artists
are few, and the artisans are
many.
Few men are born Great
Lovers. Yet, every man seems
to think that he can win the
amateur championship without
even studying the rudiments Of
the game these days.
The average man would give
his right hand or his best set
of golf clubs to have an ire
sistible way and a foolproof
system with women. Yet, all
he need do, in order to acquire
these, would be to stop, look
and listen!
To study each woman at
least as much as he studies his
looking.glaSs, and to under
stand her as we'll, and treat
her as tenderly as he treats
his sport-car. To refrain from
starring himself, and begin
starring the GIRL.
To learn that the 'TlLtake-
care-Of-yOu, yOu-preciOus-little-
thing" manner Is far more
effective than the "LOOk-whO's-
here, yOu.Iucky-littIe-wOman"
manner.
1t takes TIME-but so does
all art. After all. every man
has his mission in life; and
there Is something to be said
for the man whose only mis-
sion has been to put a brief
glamor of romance into the
lives Of q lot Of women.
