Quick
COMFORT
for fretfuI
upset children

\ IL children are subject to little
IA upsets. They come at unex-
pected times. They seem twice as
serious in the dead Of night. But
there's one form of comfort on
which a mother can always rely;
good old Castoria. This pure vege-
table preparation can't harm the
tiniest infant. Yet mild as it is, it
soothes a restless, fretful baby like
nothing else. Its quick relief soon
sees the youngster comfortable once
more, back to sleep. Even an attack
of collie, or diarrhea, yields to the
soothing influence of Castoria.
Keep Castoria in mind, and keep
a bottle in the house-always.
Give it to any child whose tongue is
coated, or whose breath is bad.
Continue with Castoria until the
child is grown!

A mans emotions are con-
tinually fitting between two
women: one who is a habit"
that he simply can't give up
and one who is a novelty
that he simply can't resist.
The trouble with marriage
is that so many people rush
into it the moment their
emotions begin to bubble, with
out waiting to see if they are
going to "jell."

is never bored, unless there is
something or somebody around

sugar-coating Of beautiful de-
votion.
Love, a bargain and a four
leaf clover are three things
which you always find just
bu accident, and never when
you are looking for them.
This is the time of year
when golf is a magic madness

monomaniac, an old man into
a boy, and a Don Juan into a
woman-hater.

who managed to keep her own
husband awake for a thousand
and one nights by TALKING to
him.
jealousy is considered a very
effete and archaic emotion, now
that a man starts right in by
offering a girl merely a coop
erative interest in his affec-
tions and a limited parking
time in his heart.
Now and, then you come
across a husband who is such
a martyr to the whims and
tantrums of a spoiled, capri
clous woman, that you don't
know whether to hand him a
halo or a foolScap.

Hank, rushing from the steak
house, stumbled down the side
walk, almost blindly. Grief and
anger racked him, and some
thing inside him seemed to be
dead. He did not notice he
was followed until Carl laid a
hand gently on his arm.
Something happened-What
is it?" inquired the other re-
porter. Hank shook his head,
silently.
Come on, Hank--snap out
of it-whatever it is. We both
have to stick around tonight
pretty close, for there's some
thing going to pop. You can
sense that over in Scorpio'S
joint. Be YOURSELF"
Hank looked at his friend
dumbly. Then he shrugged
his shoulders, Strengthened up
and smiled.
Good old Carl, guess you're
rig ght!" he muttered. Carl
grinned jovially, and slapped
him on the back.
That's the stuff-buck up.
Have a cigarette and we'll go
get a drink" He proffered a
cigarette case and Hank started
in surprise.

There was no word spoken

them, with a shame-faced ex-
preston.
Then he turned his head, as
though he could not look his
old friend in the eyes.
Hank, as one very weary,
turned and walked toward a
waiting taxi. Carl stood, watch

chine had whirled out of sight.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am in love with the most
wonderful boy on earth. I
am 10 years and he is 26.
He is engaged to another
girl but seems very fond of
me. Do you suppose he will
ever give up the other girl?
What could I do to get my
mind off him? He boards at
our house and has been here
about six months. Is that
the reason I love him so?
Should I leave home?

It would be very foolish to
think of leaving home under
the circumstances. Take a

you any outside interests? Go
