Modern Girl Fails to Appreciate ‘Propriety’

Take your choice. Defends 'Pettings 1 Dear Miss Lee: I have read the articles concerning love and kissing, t am a girl of 15. iii hi?h school, love to study and get good grades I do not agree with you concerning kissing. I think the times have changed so greatly that the modern girl thinks no more of kissing than of shaking hands. I am very popular with both boys and girls. I would not go with a boy old-fogy enough to think no nice girl lets a boy kiss her unless they are engaged. HANDSOME. Pardon mee, but you do not disagree with me. Many a modern girl feels as you say. That’s the trouble. A kiss means iittle. That feeling spreads to engagements and marriage and results in divorce, too frequently. As for you—l am sorry you cannot reealize now what you are doing. You ai-e growing up too fast. You are having a good time now, but you are cheating yourself of the happier times that should come in a few years. You will be blase by the time you <are IS.

GLADYS STUDLEY, beautiful New York society IV/1 girl, who gives Tanlac full credit for her remarkable A return to health.

Miss Gladys Studley, a beautiful and popular society girl, residing at 430 West 119tli street, is among the thousands of New York City people who are praising Tanlac for the return of their health, strength and happiness. "For three years past,” said Miss Studley, ‘‘l have been in a very badly run down condition and, when I began taking Tanlac, I had little hope of ever being my normal self again. My nerves were so undone that at times 1 could not keep back the tears. Some days 1 enjoyed my meals and other days I simply had to force myself to eat. I had no energy and the least exercise would leave me completely exhausted. My complexion was becoming sallow and rough and I just seemed to be getting old before my time. Things

to learn her husband’s faults, for she probably loves him. To go to the husband would only make him angry and suspicious. However, you show him that others know he is not treating his wife as she should be treated and that others value her friendship more highly than he does her love. That should make him realize that he is mistreating her. If you love her, that is how you can help her. Don’t Be Serious Yet Dear Martha Leg; I have been going with a boy for about six months. About a month ago he got sore at me for talking to another boy. I love this boy and want to make up. He won’t even look at me. Do you think I should speak to him first, or let. him go and get him off my mind? I am 14. BETTY. It was ridiculous for the boy to become angry just because you spoke to another boy. Don’t take boys too seriously, Betty. Pay no attention to this one. DOROTHY—I don’t think you can be happy with this man, who apparently has not the slightest sense of honor. l r ou owe him nothing, and, as you have no children, I advise you to sue for divorce. It is one of the cases in which that seems to be the only recourse. Wants Companionship Dear Martha: 1 am 1!! and very much sell led for my age. I once was in love. The fellow and I became engagi-d. He went away for a short time and came back married. This has not ruined my life, for I still want to have a good time. But no one I care for asks for my company. Miss Lee, maybe you eould give me some advice or send me a “sweetie." I am not bad looking, J have brown eyes, am very fair, and have large dimples. I am a high school graduate. DIMPLES. Sorry, Dimples, but I am not in the “sweetie” business. With your apparent attractiveness, I have an idea your “sweetie” will come along In time. In the meantime, have a good time with friends.

My appetite inm’eared, my tired feeling began tft lea e, my nerves steadied down i*nd before long I was feeling like an entirely different person.

to To lisa Vicks Vapsßiiii Far Oesp Grippy Colds First, It is Very Important That a Thorough Rubefacient or Counter-Irritant Effect Be Produced on the Surface cf the Skin Around the Lungs.

This Draws the Blood From the Congested Lungs and Lessens the Danger of Pneumonia. THEN TREAT WITH VICKS Deep, grippy colds, frequently leading to pneumonia, have been unusually prevalent this winter. In some sections they are called influenza, but are so much milder than the influenza cases during the first epidemic that health authorities have not agreed <is to whether these cases are all due to the same infection, or even whether there has been any real influenza, “Flu” Germ Discovered New light has been thrown upon these matters by the announcement by Dr. Simon Flexner, director of the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research, that the ;;erm of influenza has been identified. The institute staff, through experiments on rabbits, has found how this germ injures the lung tissue so that it is no longer able, as it is in health, to destroy the common bacteria of the nose and throat that cause bronchitis and pneumonia. Dr. Flexner also says, “Recent reports received from abroad and from points in the United States indicate that a secondary wave of epidemic influenza, relatively mild in character, is passing over rarts of Europe and America.” Tho Danger Is From Pneumonia It, therefore, behooves anybody who develops a deep grippy cold to take his case seriously and work fast if all danger of pneumonia is to be avoided. AVhat is needed is something to decrease tho congestion of the lungs. For this purpose there is nothing like a rubefacient or counter-irri-tant, as witness the use of blisters, poultices, and plasters for generations. This counter-irritant reddens the skin —draws the blood from the congested parts to the surface; the circulation is improved; there is a sense of warmth and the possibility of pneumonia is greatly lessened. Quick Counter-Irritant Needed The value of this counter-irritant effect is greatly increased if it is produced quickly. Nearly every family has its favorite method—onion poultices, turpentine stupes, mustard plasters and poultices of various kinds—all are good. Avery simple method is to apply towels wrung out in hot water, as hot as the patient can stand. This not only reddens the skin quickly, but also opens the pores so that more Vicks can be absorbed. Some, however, prefer to use an ordinary mustard plaster, as the reddening effect lasts longer. Parts to Be Treated Whatever method is used, the application should be applied over the throat and chest until the skin is thoroughly reddened. In very deep colds, the sides and especially the back from the middle of the shoulder blades to a point just above the waist, should also be treated. The patient should be given a good purgative, and. if convenient, a hot mustard footbath for ten minutes — one tablespoon of mustard to a gallon of water. Rub Yieks in, Then Spread on After the skin is thoroughly reddened, it should be dried lightly and immediately the patient should be given a brisk massage with Vicks all over the parts. Continue this for five minutes. This increases the counterirritant effect. Then apply Vicks; thickly over all the parts; that is, spread it on as you would a poultice

—about one-sixteCnth of an inch thick or more—and cover with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Vicks Acts in Two Ways Thus applied Vicks has a double action. First, Vicks is so made that the body heat gradually releases the ingredients in the form of vapers. The more Vicks applied, the stronger will be the vapors and the longer these vapors will last. The night clothing should always be loose around the neck and the bed clothes arranged in the form of a funnel. These vapors being lighter than air, rise up from the chest and, if the bed clothing is properly arranged, pass by the nose and mouth and are thus inhaled with each breath, carrying the medication directly through the air passages to the lungs. The second action of Vicks is external —by absorption through and stimulation of the skin. Repeat From the Beginning When the vapors begin to lose their strength, fresh Vicks should be applied over the throat and chest. This to keep up the continuous supply of vapors. When the redness of the skin dies out, all the Vicks remaining should be wiped off and the entire treatment repeated. That Is, the hot water towels or mustard plasters should be used until the skin is again thoroughly reddened, then massage with Vicks, spread on thickly and cover with hot flannels, just as previously done. When the Patient Chokes Up Sometimes when the patient is badly choked up, the vapors from the application on the chest are not sufficient to make the breathing easier. In these cases drop a tablespoonful of Vicks into a kettle of boiling water and allow the patient to inhale the warm steam and vapors combined for about ten minutes.
