AS YOUR TEMPER, so you WALK.

woman's temper is shown in her
walk. The one who jerks her head as
she goes along is fickle. She trfies a
little too much with love and is just the
woman to miss a good husband when
one comes along.
The quiet man will never be happy
with the woman who digs her heels into
the pavement and races at express
speed. She is businesslike, but her
manner Is one of those simple things
that worry the quiet man to death.
The girl who cannot walk without
skipping is very cheerful and enjoys
life as much es the girl who tips on to
her toes at every stride. But the girl
men like most is the one with the brisk.
musical walk. who loves to peep into
shop windows and then walk briskly
on. She goes through life endeavoring
to get the most pleasure out of every.

should be of a simple nature so that
they will not look like evening cloaks.

Some Dental Don,ts

Don't go to bed without brushing
the teeth.
Don't swallow food without mastica-
ton. Modern cookery, by making masti-
cation almost unnecessary, is respon-
sible for much decay of the teeth.
Don't let tartar accumulate on the
teeth, for it brings a whole train of
evils in its wake. Have it removed by
a dentist at least twice a year.
Don't fail to rinse the teeth thor
oughly with an alkaline wash (lime
water is good) after taking acids, such
as lemon juice, vinegar or strong medi-
cines.
Don't use a tooth powder which con-
tains gritty, acid or irritating sub
stances, as the first two act iniuriously
on the teeth and the last on the gums.
Don't sleep with the mouth open.
Dust and gritty particles floating in
the atmosphere entering the trap thus
set for them iniure the enamel of the
teeth by irritation.
Don't use one side Of the mouth only
when eating, for then the teeth have
not all the same amount of exercise
and decay sets in more rapidly one side
than the other.
