Dear Madam We are a graduated

much If you would suggest for us a
. proper name In jour columns for this
organization. Tours truly,
S. B. AND 8. B.
'Xou might call It "-The Through
Th'lck and Thin Club"; then yon would
be the T. T. T.'s for short. Another
same would be the "Stick-Together
Club." If you, want a little more dig
nified title why not "Semper Fidelia,"
Vhich Is the Latin for always faithful.
Either the "Loyal Comrades" or
'Comrades True" would also be ap
, prdpjlate. Good wishes and long life
to) yoUr organization !

"The Woracn's Exchange" that some
of the readers of our home'paper have
dogs and ctts to giro away, I would
ask you it I can have a nice small
watchdog (male) and a little male kit
ten. I assure you that they will have
the' best of care, We occupy a house,
so there is plenty of room for them,
end no children to maltreat them.

To Fill Out Cheat
Ta tli $ttar at Woman' Paot:
Dear Madam I hare noticed that
you give valuable information to
readers of your Women's Page. As a
constant reader cf the Ledger and the
Women's Page,' I wish you would
please enlighten me on the following:
j have sunken regions below the collar
bones and do not know what to at
trjute the cause to. I am eighteen
years of age and am 5 feet 8 inches tall
and weigh 140 pounds with outer gar
ments. I have grown several inches
these last two years, and do you think
this mowing of mine accounts for my
thinness around the collar bones? Can
you please give mo a remedy to over
come ibis thinness? Would exercising
bs of value? Do you think these
sunken regions will fill out In time?
"MALE" READER.
( "'Rafild growth can account for not
filling- 6ut everywhere all at once.
Exercise and rubbing the hollows
faithfully" every night with cocoa but
ter ought to help fill them out. It I
were -you I would consult a doctor and
lit him tell you Just what sort of ex
ercise would help.
To Gain Weight

Dear Madam Will you kindly tell
fflctltTwhat way I can put on weight

results. J

I have known ir t6 take away pounds
and I have known it to put them on.
For instance, if your present wejght
consisted of flabby flesh, undoubtedly
exercise would make you lose this,
giving yvi4.mucle instead.
As for "putting on weight by- exer
cise, witness, how many of the boys in
the army gained. I cannot speak as
anf expert, but 1 should say, judging
by. this, that the rugged outdoor exer
cise, such as they took, might do the
same for you.

one quart of water for five minutes;
cool, strain, and mix with wash watr

' Just as. the Pipe Line Revolu
tionized the Oil Industry
carrying the products of the great oil wells immense distances, thus
cutting down overhead by eliminatingthe necessity for tank cars and
locomotives, so every American Store forms a link in the chain that
connects you directly with the Producer.
No middlemen's profit to nav. Every unnecessary item of ex-
pense eliminated just one small margiri between the cost of produc
tion and your table.
This is the answer as to why your living costs less, at an American
. Store, quality considered, than anywhere else.
