A wise man has pronounced palm
istry TO be an absolute absurdity
beneath contempt He has reduced
our Zines" of life and heart and head
to muscular textures. The action Of
the four fingers and the thumb re-
spectively produced the first two
lines, and all the others can be medi-
cally accounted for.
II is disillusioning, of course. es-
pecially If one has been assured by
some fashionable palmist that one
possesses extraordinary gifts and that
good fortune is ones portion. But
II we accept what psychologists tell
us about one thing we must believe
them when they say another. One
professor says: Humanity is daily
gulIed through its extraordinary ig-
norance Of the elementary facts OF
physiology"
The scientific announcement" of
palmistry will probably trouble those
who practice the art as little as It
will the women who submit their
hands that they may learn their fate.
The cold light Of science is power
less to affect the futtering hope ev-
cry woman holds that there may be
pleasanter surprises in life than she
believes are in store for her. Nor
is her faith shaken when the oracle
declares that the sorrows Of her past
have oyershadowed those Of all 9TH
ers who have bravely borne the crisis
crossing of their Line of the Heart.

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When Baby

If parents realized the fact that
coffee contains a caffeine
which is especially harmful to chill
dren, they would doubtless hesitate

but coffee and water.
And so l contracted the coffee
habit early. remember when quite
young. the continual use Of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground 1t in the coffee-mill. as a sub
stitute for coffee.
But 1t did not taste right and
then went back to coffee again. That

rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
