and their new hair-dos, and they
are so busy telling the girl next to
them what they said to the boy
friend that they haven't the time
or the inclination to bother with a
mere customer.
That this should be the case Is no
cause for wonder. The miracle
would be if these ignorant, mex
perienced girl children, who have
never thought about anything but
play in their lives, should suddenly
be transformed into competent busi-
ness women. So I am finding no
fault with the young girl. I am only
trying to tell her what an invaluable
educational opportunity she is
throwing away In not making the
most of the training that her en-
ployer is trying to give her.
OF course she doesn't think 1t
worth while to make herself crack
erjack business woman because she
expects to get married, but that uni
versal dream of girls Of marrying

true in the past, and 1t is still less

fact that the great majority of them
are not only going to have to earn
their own bread and butter as long
as they live, they are going to have
others dependent upon them.
After the war there will be vast
numbers Of girls who cannot marry
because there will not be enough
husbands to go around. And after
the war vast numbers Of wives will
have to support the manned and
crippled husbands who have come
back to them so shattered by all
that they have been through that
they are incapable of making liv-
ing. And whether these women are
going to be able to meet these re-
sponsibilites and turn defeat into
victory, or whether they will break
under them, depends altogether
upon how well they have prepared
themselves for the ordeal.
That is why I urge all Of these

Answering Mrs. H. L. c., Takoma
Park: I have found nothing so
good as used coffee grounds (moist)
for securing . saucepan in which
sticky, pasty or mucilaginous food
has been cooked. They do not
scratch and, since they do not stick
together, there is no danger of
their clogging the drain. I would
not advise using them on white
enamel for fear of staining. A
sprinkling does no good, they must
be used a heaped tablespoonful or
more at a time. But why not let
the pan stand, filled with water, for
q number of hours, when the food
will probably come away without
securing, especially If q little soap

Do you have poor digestion?
Doyou feel headachy after eating?
Doyou get sour or upset easily?
Do you feel tired-IistIess?

Now everyone knows that to get the good
out of the food you eat-you must digest
Improperly. But what most people don't
knows that Nature must produce about
two pints of the digestive juice-liver
bile-each day to help digest your food.
HNature fails, your food mayremain I'M
dlgested, lie sour and heavy within you.
Thus, it is simple to see that one wayto
aid digestion is to increase the flow of
liver bile. Now, Carter Little Liver Pills
start to increase this flow quickly for
thousands-of in as little as thirty
minutes. When bile flow increases, your
OH osfs s nm may n faan And

teract indigestion-when Carter's, taken
