boys and girls from forming had habits
that result in detrimental effects on the
mouth, eyebrows, etc.
For instance. sucking the thumbs will
affect the shape of the mouth, and If al
lowed to continue during the time that
second teeth are growing it is more than
apt to make them project. This is the
natural result of suction.
Now, every one realizes that the pref

red the instant she opens her mouth if the
teeth are not regular. as well as white,
and unevenness may be avoided If at the
first evidence of crookedness a dentist
begins treatment to correct the deformlty.
This method is neither difficult nor pain
full while the person is still young and
the jaw is not hard, but if delayed until
later in life it may be quite impossible to
effect change.
How to Make Eyebrows Pretty
A conspicuous feature of the face is the
eyebrows, but these are rarely arched or
even regular, vet nothing can be simpler

to smooth the hairs at each stroke in the
way they should grow.
This treatment continued faithfully for
years. will not only give desirable shape

color.
Prominent ears may be brought into
proper place, close to the head, if close
fitting thin cap is worn every night while
the child is a baby.
Broad noses will be improved by care

fridge between thumb and forefinger and
onching gently as the fingers are brought
up to the top of the bridge. Neither this
nor the ear treatment will have the
slightest effect upon a grown person, for

either raw eggs or quillia bark should be
used The latter is a natural soap that
acts as a tonic as we'll as a cleansing

The ends of a child's hair should be
