New Cure for Badness.

For his curious theory that badness
is due to lack of upper chest breath
ing, DR.. Delos M. Parker, of the De-
troit College of Medicine. claims veri-
fication by thousands of observations
during many years. No victim of
common badness was found who
breathed properly. The lungs being
imperfectIy filled and emptied, 1t is
supposed that residual air is left in
the upper passages, and develops a
soluble poison. This poison specially
affects the scalp, where the skin is
practically bloodless, and, therefore,
of low vitality. Persistent return to
correct breathing has been followed
by disappearance of dandruff in one
week and beginning of a new growth
OF hair in six weeks and a fresh cover
ing has been developed on head that
had been bald 20 years.

The Tell Tale Voice.

'If you want to tell whether or not
the man you are talking to is telling
the truth don't look him in the eyes"
said a Denver bank teller to some
friends. 1T is the voice, when you
don't look at the eyes, that tells you
whether the other fellow is lying. We
use the system frequently in the bank.
A man will come in to tell us some
business tale. We look at his feet or
his hands or his knees, but never in
his eyes. If he's telling the truth his
voice will be firm and straightforward,
and the absence Of your gaze in his
eyes will not affect it. But If he's
lying he'll be confused by your ac-
ton, and his voice will tremble; he'll
hem and haw, and clear his throat.
You may rest assured then that he's
stringing YOU"
