Are You
JEL7 FAT?
ir^\ I Was
1 f.
I was Fat, Uncomfortable, Looked
Old. Felt Miserable, suffered with
rheumatism, Asthma, Neuralgia.
When I worked or walked, I puffed
like a Porpoise. I took every ad
vertised medicine I could find. I
Starved, Sweated, Exercised, Doc
tored and changed climate but I
ruined my digestion, felt like an In
valid but steadily gained weight.
There was not a single plan or drug
that I heard of that I did not try. I
failed to reduoa my weight. I drop
ped society, as I did not care to be
th« butt of all the Jokes. It was em
barrassing to have my friends tell
me I was getting Stout, as no one
knew It better than myself.
SOMKTIIINO HAD TO Bfl DONG)
I began to study the cause of
FAT. When I discovered the cause
I found the remedy. The French
Method gave me an Insight. I Im
proved on that. Removed the ob

pleasant ones, and then I tried my
plan on myself for a week. It
worked like Magic I could have

the scales told me I had lost ten
pounds by my simple.easy, harmless
Druglegs Method. It was a pleasure
then to continue until I regained my

It. I have tried It on others. -My

Last Day, Nov. 22.
Address: Turkey Menu Editor.
m '. «
Many Joyous moments have been spent by the Turkey Menu edi
tor since Taconia housewives began sending in their suggestions for
Thanksgiving tables, but tho best came today with the receipt of
a letter from one who signs herself "(I will be) Mrs. Newly wed."
I Smiling, aren't you?
Very well, the Turkey Menu editor smiled too, and somehow
wished for a chance to peep into the home of "(I will be) Mrs.
Newly wed," just as she and (He will be) Mr. Newlywed were sit
ting down to their first Thanksgiving dinner together.
"(I will be) Mrs. Newlywed" Is to be congratulated on the
menu she has prepared— and what do you think! —her Thanksgiving
dinner is to be her first meal in the new world she is about to en
ter. And here ft is:

BACON CHEAPER
Whoop!
Ham and bacon have
dropped in price. Fell a
whole half cent yesterday.
They are only 19 and 20'^
cents a pound now. Who
ever heard of such ridicu
lously low cost of living!
The average workingman
will not have to work more
than a week now to buy a
ham. If you want eggs to
go with the ham, thats dif
ferent. Nothing cheap about
eggs, 48c a dozen wholesale.
Looks as if the only
thing to do is eat apples.
One can get apples from 75
cents up.
Walter—Do you mind if I j>ut
your bag out of the way, air?
The people coming in are falling
over it.
Diner —You leave it where It
is. If nobody falls over It, I
shall forget it's there.—Flie
geude Blaetter.
I sai-d; "you look heartsick " My
other friend, who Is somewhat
brusque in her speech, answered:
"It's not her heart that is giving
her trouble, but her feet. We
have just come from thy chirop
odist's."
"How did your chiropodist
treat your nails?' I asked.
"She used a small steel hook
and, after fastening this under
the corner and cleaning it out
with peroxide, she applied a
small piece of antiseptic cotton,
using a small curved Instrument
to place It under the corner,"
said my friend with the sore toe.
"She was very careful not to
make this cotton too large, as
otherwise it might bruise the In
flamed and sore flesh, she said.
She tells me this treatment must
be taken twice a week until the
nail haa grown out normally."
"It seems a very simple meth
od," I said, "and one that could
be used by any person at home."
"My chiropodist insist* that
we should pedicure our toe nails
as carefully as we manicure our
finger nails, that the cuticle
should be loosened and pushed
back around the sides. The nails
should be filed, carefully
scrubbed with a brush and soap
and water and all the callous
and hanging skin about the nails
should be rubbed off with a piece
of pumice. I have been walking
like a cripple for two months and
all the while thinking; that the
trouble was too trival to make a
fuss over."
JUST ONE liAST WORD
—No iHMlily ill that keeps
the mind engrossed in ma
terial things is too trivial Co
fuss oTer.
RECENT IDEAS IN SHAM
POOING
Fashion as well as comfort de
mand well kept hair. Dandruff
falling on ones shoulder or an
oily, stringy appearance to the
hair never excite admiration
from anyone. Shampooing at
home with Seafroth will correct
any such tendency. Seafroth is
based on the scientific principle
that the natural oil In the scalp
will not withstand strong alka-
Hes such as are often unknow
ingly used. It is made to cleanse,
to strengthen the roots of the
hair, to give that soft elastic
feeling when touched or combed
iiinl which means hair health.
Seafroth is elegant, easy to use
and a positive aid to scalp com
fort. Is made by expert chemists
and guaranteed by them. Sold
by druggists in Taroma at 50c
per package. Remember—its
guaranteed.

A MAN'S PAST
Dear Miss Grey: I am
very much interested in '•
young man who has shown
me a great deal of attention.
Now, Miss Grey, although
this gentleman bears an ill
name in this small commu
nity, he has always shown
me .1 great deal of respect
and never lias done any
thing I . could resent. Me
always treats me as a perfect *
lady. ' Should I therefore re
fuse his attentions on ac
count of Ills evident disre
spect shown these other
girls?
l'lease answer soon, as I
am anxious to know what
to do. "PETITE."
A.—lf you refuse the young
man your company, you will
throw to the other sort of girl,
not that that is the least excuse
for him, but If a man is sincere
ly trying to retrieve the past It
is not fair that it should, count
against him. True manhood la
that which will respect itself' so
highly that it cannot take ad
vantage even of proffered ."ad
vances, and he may come to; see
this. - .
I do not believe in a girl sac
rificing herself for another, for
each must solve his own problem,
and you must be sure you are
strong enough to build first
your own character. Through
that, you will help him.
I MEED SOMK HKLP
l>e«r Miss Grey: IH> you
think it would be advisable
to marry a man who lias
reached the age of 50, or
more, and has never accumu
lated any property? Do you
think he could make a liv
ing for a wife if he was
married? lam some young
er, but not enough to sup
port myself and feel I need
some help.
He seems like a very ulce
man. We have not been
acquainted long. Would It
be right to ask him for a
recommend? Thanks to
you. AXXIOCS MAID.
A. —You do not love this man
and It is a moral crime to marry"
for support. If you are not phy
sically able to support yourself,
you are certainly not fit for
marriage, and especially for^
motherhood.
You are at least comparative
ly younger, and this man will
grow older each year. Don't do|
It.
"WE HAVK BROKEX OFK,
BUT—"
l>i .ir Miss Grey: I have
been going with a young
man 25 years old, who is
nice looking and was very
good to me. I always speak
well of him, and hi* speaks
well of me; but, Miss Grey,
in going with him I have
lost my reputation. He has
been married once, but di
vorced two yearn. He has
also been In the reformatory.
He sometimes now pays
me attentions. What can I
do to regain my reputation?
lluf. Miss Grey, remember,
he has always treated me
with res]>ect.
A. —I wish I knew how old
you are, for if you are of an age
and experience to know that
character la the real thing, and
reputation only what people
think we are, and if you are con
vinced that the young man has
profited by his experience, and is
a good man in spite of it, I would
tell you to give him the en
couragement of your friendship.
That does not mean to be with
him constantly, and neglect oth
er friends, and ignore the wlshee
of your family.
THAT JKAT..OUS IMM \si:
Dear Miss Grey: Please
givo me some advice in this
matter. I am very jealous
of my husband and really I
haven't any cause to be.
Hut it Mi-ins as though I
could hardly stand It to see
him talking to any other
woman. I don't mean all
women, but certain women
In thin nt'lulil.i.rlioml. Kven
the ixlght of him talking to
another woman gives me
such an oil-gone feeling,
and makes me miserable.
Then I talk to him übout it,
and of course he don't like
it.
I could be happy if I could
get rid of that jealous feel
ing. Sometimes I wish I
Imul married a man I did not
love, so I wouldn't lw> Jeal
ous. GOOD INTENTIONS.
A. —Jealousy is a disease, and
you can cure yourself if you
will be persistent. The very first
step is to stop speaking to your
husband about It. No matter
how you feel, keep still. Next
step, stop thinking about It. Just
regard it as you would a slight
headache; know that it will pass
In a short time, and do some
little helpful thing for someone
while you feel that way. Jeal
ousy cannot withstand real love,
but will fall before a noble In
fluence.
"SUCH STI TFF AS DREAMS
AllK MADE OF"
Dear Mlas Grey: I would
like to ask yon a question.
Can you tell me why one
dreams so hard night after
night and is all tired oat in
the morning, and is the same
week in and week oat? I*
It a disease? And is there
anything to get rid of
dreams?
A CONSTANT KKAIMCR.
A. —I know (or a fact that th«
best way to get rid of dreams is
to ignore them. Absolutely re
fuse to repeat them, and if they
come to mind, dismiss them and
think of something else.
Yes, they are a disease. Any
thing that does not produce ease
is dis-ease. Scientists have
searched for years for a solu
tion of dreams, but are where
they started.
LOST IfKR MONKY AND
HER SUIT
Dear Miss Grey: Some
- time ago, I was unfortunate
enough to Join a suit club.
1 puid in $12, and when I
went to their place of busi
ness to pick out my suit,
they were gone. Now, Miss
Grey, there have been a
great many others defrauded
us I have been.
I read in the evening pa
per that the same company
is at San Francisco, doing
tlio same business. Isn't
there any way to get my
money back?
MKS. W. 11. M.
A. —Get the signatures of as
many of those who were cheated
as possible, and send a request
to the mayor of San Francisco to
look into the matter.
If you are sure they are the
same-company, to have a lawyer
write them might be effective.
if kvf.kv childless
homi:
Dear Miss Grey: It cam©
to me this morning what a
fine thing it would be if all
the childless homes in Ta
coma would each entertain a
homeless child at Thanksgiv
ing or Christmas just for a
ii.ij or two.
Also, if those who are
lonely would look up others who
are lonely ami .spend the day to
gether. IUAM.
A. —Your idea Is a fine one,
and I hope those who read your
letter will make it possible for
many little children to enjoy a
home Thanksgiving dinuer this
year.
J;. Dear Miss Grey: Last
March my husband got mix
ed up with an "affair" here;
but promised me he would
' not do so again if I would
, |) only stay with him.
/■ We left here, and he did
'- the' same thing in the next
„ , place. .. This, time a married
1 .-woniiin, whoso husband got
' very angry and was going to
kill my husband. . .
We came bock here. Now
■ he knows I am thinking of
leaving him as soon m- I am
able. I am .fust recovering
from a long illness, lie gets
very angry mid says 1 am a
funny woman if I won't
give him one, more chance,
as he is being true and doing
all he can to atone for the
past, Hut, Miss Grey, he
said the .same things before,
made the same promises,
and never kept one, so I
can't believe him.
He gets very ati£ry be
cause I am not affectionate
any more; but, Miss Grey, I
can't be,, and I know I am
', cross and always suspecting
him of wrong, which mokes
■i us both miserable. Now,
:'. Miss Grey, what would
you do? Would you give
him another chalice and try
, to believe him; or leave him
as soon as I am able? I
want to do the right thing,
but am so despondent I
don't know what would be
right. Please answer.
A WRONGED WIFE.
A. —If I could rid my mind of
suspicion, and If he was willing
' to wait for affection until he has
regained the confidence he de
stroyed, and has no right to ex
pect until he has proven himself;
then I would, stay. But If It
meant continual quarreling, I
would leave as soon as possible.
If you can kill suspicion with a
higher love, it will do wonders.

HAT, SKIRT, AND COAT IN
A HAPPY COMBINATION
A picture bat, a tailored cloth coat and a machine pleated skirt
are cleverly put together In the costume pictured here. Perhaps this
pretty girl is wearing a very simple waist under the coat, and maybe
the whole outfit is quite inexpensive. But it has an air of style and
distinction. There are two roul novelties in the hlp-longth coat of
covert cloth. The most noticeable Is the double rever, which is ex
ceedingly new. Then there is tlie. sleeve, which seems to slope In
gradually from the WTUt to the shoulder, where it is set into narrow
armholeß In strict tailored fashion. The coat Is a warm, straight
front, semi-fitting apparel fininhed off with a dark velvet collar By
substituting a simpler hat this model would be dressed quite In koen-
Ing for office.
