One is admired by the crowd; the other is loved by the individual. One is sure to be spoken of as "fascinating;" the other is not sjioker of very much at. all. But every one who knows her says softly, with an air of having made a rare discovery "Ah, 1 like that girl. I feel as if I had been looking for her always. She.is the dearest girl m the world." The popular girl of the tirst mentioned class is easy enough to appreciate and to understand. Every one finds her attractive. Her popularity is obvious. Iu fact, nearly everything abouther, ail her charm, seems to be rather obvious. All her easy magnet ism shows off prettily at first glance. She makes do particular appeal to you as an individual, but she is a general favorite. You find her fascinatiug, and you know that every one else finds her fascinating too. She is the :'popular" girl. It does not occur to many peo ple to describe the other girl as "popular." She never challenges the attention of the crowd. She is unassuming and unaffected, very much interested in other persons and wholly unconscious of herself She is not strikingly beautiful. Even the keenness of her remarkably fine mind has in it no obtrusive surface brilliance. She has uone of the airs and graces, the small coquetries, of the gL 1 who is an acknowledged belie. She has none of the obvi ous charms of "popular" girl. There is nothing obvious about her at all. Yet every one who talks with her ten minutes feels the personal compulsion of her (juiet, unsought charm. ASKS L'S TO PRINT Simple Recipe for Home-Made Rheuma tism and Kidney Cure. To relieve the worst forms of Rheumatism, take a teaspoon ful of the followiug mixture after each meal and at bedtime: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. These harmless ingredients can be obtained from our home druggists, and are easily mixed by shaking them well in a bottle. Relief is generally felt from the first few doses. , This prescription forces the clogged up, inactive kidneys to filter and strain from the blood the poisonous waste matter and uric acid, which causes Rheuma tism. As Rheumatism is not only the most painful and torturous dis ease, but dangerous to life, this si m pie recipe will' no doubt be greatly valued by many sufferers here at home, who should at once prepare the mixture to get this relief. It is said that a person who would take this prescription re gularly, a dose or two daily, or ev3n a few times a week, would never, have serious Kidney or Urinary disorders or Rheuma tism. Cut this out and preserve it. Good Rheumatism prescriptions which re illy relieve are scarce, indeed, and when you need it, you want it badly.
