Or again, one @lams a door, and down comes all the woodwork in a heap of splinters. If you sleep on the ground they eat your blanket, and an axe-handle, left eut overnight, is likely to be a shell im the morning.” The only beneficial habit of these hungry pests is the aevouring of rank vegetation in the jungle.

In his second installment, to be printed tomor- row (Wednesday) morning, he Sounds These Two Warnings: To Older Women “From her (the older woman) point of view they are still children! One and all they should still have been at school or college, hoydenish and freck- led, with the lure of sex as yet unsus- pected and unfelt. “No wonder the older woman has a complaint to frame. She is in danger of being deposed, whilst the roses and glamour of life are still with her, and the joy of them still in her veins. “A new type of Circe, with an ever- inereasing charm, comes laughing into the world, mocking at the anxiety which drives her rival day by day from mirror to beauty parlor.” To Young Men “She finds him (the young man) all right to dance with and play golf with and leaves it at that. “For her flirtations and her more in- timate companionship she gravitates toward the older man. His larger ex- perience, his greater knowledge of the world attracts her. He is more in touch with her own newly developed gifts. He has to some extent arrived. He is even in a position to marry. Be- sides, she feels the poacher’s joy. He is probably the quarry of an older woman!” Why they like Lifebuoy Thousands of women have told why they like Lifebuoy. Here are a few of the things they say: “It leaves my skin so soft and smooth.” “It keeps my hands from feeling dry ard harsh.” Never before has the New York American launched a series of articles that created such a furor among women—and men, too. Older women were astounded. Younger women were amazed but, apparently, delighted. There were demands for extra copiés of the morning American well up into the dinner hour last night. One woman’s husband said of “It has such a pleasant after-feeling.” “When I use Lifebuoy, I can almost feel its palm and cocoanut oils flowing over my hands.” What is the secret? Simply that Lifebuoy of a Tak-hom-a Biscuit—the Sunshine Soda Cracker. This crisp sandwich is delicious.
