A fellow named T. u. X. Key had an
alteration with man named Cook at
the Gem Restaurant late Wednesday af-
ternoon in which the latter severed the
head of the former entirely from the body

Safe Rules for
Choosing Husband

If you want to choose a lovin,
domestic, sensible husband, take
into consideration that:
The head that is long from front
to back, denotes the home lover.
A head that is broad, viewed
from in front, indicates strong,
insistent will power.
Such heads usually find a way
and make careers in life
A very high forehead will make
such demands and not be worth
the sacrifice.
The very low forehead will make
such demands and not be worth
the sacrifice.
A high forehead and long head
will mean cleverness leavened
with domesticity.
Steel blue eyes rarely fail to de-
note hard and cruel natures.
Possessors of large brown, hazel,
soft blue or gray eyes are by ma
ture honest, tender and true.
Sparkling black eyes are usually
accompanied by quick tempers and
jealous dispositions.
Small mouths indicate a measure
Of. frivolity and secretivness.
The large mouth usually goes
with frankness and generosity.
The mouth par excellence is
large, with good lips, and lines al

An arched Roman nose bespeaks

the man who will be successful in
business.
The straight Grecian nose be-
tokens a fine artistic nature quick

ity of life, but Indifferent in bust

Snub noses usually prove the per-
son who cares little for another's
feelings, and is prone to flippancy.
Turn-up noses usually accompany
merry disposition.
Receding chins bespeak weak
and wavering will.

and motion. The final result Of
this process is the production of
pOisons. AS a good writer has said,
1.-THE body is factory of poisons.'
And the secret of health? 1t may
be told in a word. Keep the body
clean. Keep the body free from
accumulated poisons.
And how Is this to be done? First
of all, eat clean food. A piece of
roast beef contains the body poi
sons of the steer from which it
was cut. Peas, beans, lentils, milk,
cream and nuts contain the same
food elements. Flesh foods are all
more or less impregnated with poi
SOnous excreta
Second, keep the body free from
accumulated poisons. How? Drink
much water-at least two quarts a
day, get a warm scrub bath every
day and a sweat bath once a week,
and attend to the other excretions.
Worry, excitement and other bad
mental states conduce to disease,
largely because they interfere with
he excretions.
