Dental Divination."

In Paris the theory that mans soul
and also woman's, is revealed by the
length, shape, inclination and spacing
of the teeth has been put forward by
certain neutrality-suspicious., and society
Is greedily grasping at the novelty.
The new method of dental divina-
ton" Is declared to be much more GER
tain than palmistry, mind reading,
chronology or such old-fashioned d.
versions as fortune telling by cards
and teacups. One newspaper an
nounces that invitations are already
out for "dentomacy seance." Here
are some of the secrets" which the

WALKING Is Fashionable.

Carriages and motor cars for shop.
ping and short-distance visits are for
the moment in disfavor in London and
the latest fad among women is to
walk. One of the reasons for this is
that owing to the large number OF
Cancelled social engagements as a re-
suit of the national mourning women
have time to shop with leisure and
comfort. Instead of rushing from con-
cert to reception, etc, every after
noon, they make informal calls on old
friends. Usually in the season the
London society woman rarely walks a
step. She has neither time nor inclin-
alton.
Physicians are encouraging the fad
and are doing their best to make deli
cate patients try it. They are recon-
mending it as cure for jaded nurves.
Slowly. but surely walking is becom-
ing the most fashionable pursuit Of
this dull season.
Women will make time to walk, 1t Is
predicted, and England will once more
be able to boast of her feminine Pc
destrians who do their ten miles a
day easily, as they used to do 20 years
ago.-New York Sun.

fancy work. The making of good
concrete, whether in the form of
blocks or in walls, is no boys job. 1t
requires intelligence, just as any con-
struction work does. Now, the con-
crete block should not be condemned
for what the offenders against it have
done. 1t Is human nature to judge
things by their worst aspects. And
the men who made blocks that absorb
water or crumble have done a great
mischief to the block. There are
throughout the country thousands Of
well built concrete block houses that
will stand forever and are moisture
proof. But one poor house will create
an adverse impression that dozen
good houses cannot overcome. The
writer knows of many fine cement
houses that attest the value of cement
in home construction. Cement is

to nearly any design the architect
may select
Cement houses require no repairs
whatever, and the older they get the
more nearly like stone they become.
Cement work placed in the Coliseum
of Rome is as strong today as it was
1000 years ago when it was put there.
So in selecting the materials for the
construction of home or even of any
other structure that it is desired
should be lasting no better material
than cement can be selected.
Now, for cement construction the
design of the home shown here is per-
fectly adapted. This house may be
built of eight-inch concrete blocks for
the walls and for the porch, and the
round porch columns may be of
nodded cement. The design calls for
an elaborate basement. Here the
furnace room will be located and also
the kitchen, toilet, laundry and
coal bin. On the main floor there Is
a good sized living room, dining
room and two bedrooms. The size
of the house is % feet 6 inches wide
and 81 feet long. If it is possible a
site should be selected for the house
where gravel will be available on the
ground for the making of the blocks.
This can be taken from the excava-
ton for the basement. If that is done
it will greatly reduce the cost. The
blocks should all be made in ad
vance and allowed plenty of time to
cure. The secret of making a concrete
block that will be impervious to wa
ter is to use a we'll graded gravel
that is, gravel in which the stones
vary in size from sand to stones a
half inch in diameter. The cement
should be sound and plenty of it
should be used, with a waterproofing
of hydrated lime in the face. The mix
ing should be thorough and plenty of

success in nerve surgery has led to
desire to accomplish similar results

required investigation, for the cutting
