Dear Miss Doom:

Atthl Tic 1oOhs
Again I write to you for your valuable
advice and information. Is there any
school of dentistry in this city? If not,
please state the nearest one to Newark,
and whether it has evening sessions,
How long does it generally take to com
nlete a course, and also the tuition fee
for samel
Am DESTROYS of taking up that profess
sion and would greatly appreciate any
information on the above subject.
Thanking you for your past favors and
hoping to read my letter and questions
through -FOUR newspaper medium, l re-
main, DENTAL.
There is no college of dentistry in
this city; or, in fact, in this state.
There are two in New York city, the
New York College of Dentistry, 205
East Twenty-third street, and the
College of Dental and Oral Surgery
of New York, ZIG West Forty-second
street. The course is four years and
a four-year High School course or its
equivalent is the entrance require
ment. There are. no evening sessions.
l have not been able to find out the
tuition fee, but if you will write to
the secretary of the college for a
catalogue you will be able to obtain
complete information. Success to

Coin and Tin Foil
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
1 have an old Columbia half dollar,
dated 1858, which l want to sell. Can
you tell me a place where | can sell 1t,
and about how much l will receive? Also
tell me how much l can get a pound for
a ball of %tinfoil, and where l can sell 1t.
Trusting you will oblige me with this In
formation, | remain, BLONDh.
If the coin has no arrowheads at
the date and no rays around the
eagle it is worth from $50 to $50. The
kind with the arrowheads and rays
are very common and good only Tor
currency. If 1t is of the variety first
mentioned you may be able to dis
pose of 1t at the New York Coin and
Stamp Company, s East Thirtleth
street, New York City.
Take the tin foil to a junk dealer.
You will find a list of them on pages
1851 and 1862 of the City Directory
(You can consult a directory at any
drug store.) I do not know now
much the dealers will pay for the
foil, but probably about 2 cents a
pound.

Which Hat?
Dear Miss Doom:

Can you give me a little advice? !
expect to go away about the 10th OF DC
tober, and would like to know If 1t Will
be too late to wear a white straw nat
faced and trimmed with black velvet, or
would a black beaver with light blue rib
bon be more suitable? Ny suit is cream
color cloth. / am a great admirer or
the woman's page, and receive The Star
regularly through a friend. Hoping to
see an early reply, sincerely yours,
A FORMER NEWARKER.
From your description it seems to
me the straw hat will look better with
the m-colored suit than the black
beaver will. The fact that the former
is faced and trimmed with black vel
vet relieves the ''summery' appear
ance of the white straw, while it
forms a very attractive contrast to
the suit. However, either n will be
appropriate. If you have the slight
est idea thai the straw hat, in the
midst of so many felt ones, will cause
you to feel uncomfortable do not
think of wearing it. Then, too, If the
weather is very cold you may prefer
the beaver. On the other hand, If
you are going South the straw will be
the very thing you will need. You
see, it is a matter of personal taste,
varied by the weather and your des-
tination. From your description I
judge that both hats are equally
pretty, but I know you must have a
slight preference for n Let this
preference guide you.
1 am very glad you enjoy the wom-
ans page and that you keep in touch
with your former home by reading

nesh worry YOU; Even though you have
spent many dollars trying different So
called "hesh-reducers' without any of
them doing a bit of good, l want you to
try this one. l have many friends who
tell me 1t did wonders for them. Get
four ounces of parnotis from any drug
store, dissolve 1t In 11s pints hot water
and take a tablespoonful a few minutes
before each meal. 1t is harmless and will
cut down your fat rapidly without nee
essity for dieting or strenuous exercising.

instead OF clogging up the pores of your

make such a lotion by buying four ounces
Of spurmax at your druggists and dissolv-
ing 1t in one-half pint witch hazel or
hot water; then add two teaspoonfuls
glycerlne and when cold apply freely to
your face, neck and arms. This lotion Is

unpleasantly prominent. it is a SURE
sign hat you are not walking prop
erly. You are sinking back on your
heels, making the soft walls of your
abdomen carry your weight, instead
of your spinal column. which nature
intended ii to do.
No matter how fleshy you are, you
need not have a protruding abdomen.
If you walk correctly.
Then there is the girl who has pim-
pies on her face. She probably has
had them for months, and wen years,
but she will return you a letter saying
tina our remedies are of no use If
within four weeks her face Is not
cleared up and her complexion per-
feet.
The girl who has acne or eczema
must be very careful of her diet,
emitting all fats, made dishes. pas
tries. and foods that are highly sea-
soned. She must be scrupulously
careful to battle her entire body daily,
using a brush and coarse towel to
remove the impurities thrown off by
the skin and keep all the pores open.
Then, if she uses a healing ointment
and an%tiseptic she will find in time
that her face will become smooth. al
though she may never have the fine
skin of the girl who has not allowed
her face to become pimpled through
neglect.
There is, however, another cause
for pimpled face, and that is
ness, and the girl who feels that her
nerves are frazzled should take long
walks in the open air, practise deep
breathing exercises INC sleep ten
hours a day.
JUST ONE LAST WORD-Dont
get impatient. IL takes as long to
remedy beauty ills as IL does TO
develop them.

Gift for Baby
Dear Miss Doom:

DedT MISE DOVhs
The parents of a boy of 2 years in
tend celebrating his birthday, and as a
friend (of the p%arents) / have been In
vited to be present. I'd like to give the
child a gift lam a lover of children), but
can't arrive at q choice. VIII you please
make some suggestion in your Evening
/ Star column? | assure you n sugges-
ton you make will be appreciated. Re
spectfully, b. H.
1t has been my experience that
nothing delights a child that age so
much as a toy dog, the kind. tina
walks along when pulled by the leash.
You have seen the variety of appeal
ing looking little animals thai the
toy departments display, have you
not? They are not expensive either.
L believe the prices range from about
$1.25 up.
Those plain silver napkin rings
hat resemble large wedding rings are
very pretty. They come in all sizes,
and, like the dogs, car be had for
$1.25 up. On the outside of the ring
have the baby's monogram engraved
and on the inside the date of the
birth and second birthday.
A child generally receives enough
spoons, mugs, etc, at his birth to
last until he puts away childish
things" so 1t is seldom wise to in
clude these in your list of available
gifts for his second birthday.
If neither of my suggestions meets
with your approval spend a half hour
in a toy store and you will surely
find something that will please the
little fellow. 1 generally like to give

My mail is full of letters from girls
who want to be changed in the

the fact that they are fat, or they are
lean, that they are tall or short,
that they have bad compilations, ugly

practise the s~elf-denial for that
length of time to assure the not too
rapid melting of her flesh? When
people tell me hat they dc not eat
anything and still remain fat, / know
that they are not only deceiving me,
but themselves.
They may not be eating such great
quantities of food, but they are eat
ing flesh-making foods-starches and
sweets and fats.
If n who wishes to grow thin will
walk five miles a day and eat no
potatoes, white bread, pastries nor
sweets, no rich gravies, and live
mostly upon lean meats, fruits and
salads, cutting down ones meals to
two a day, n can reduce ones flesh,
but it is a long and laborious, process,
and few women have the strength of
mind to do it.
Actresses must practise this self
denial, as there is nothing so success

Health and Beauty Answers

A, +. s.: To be sure, health and
beauty 60 hand in hand. Indigestion and
sluggish liver cause impure blood, which
in turn breeds ugly blotches, pimples and
skin eruptions, accompanied often by de-
preston, melancholia and headaches
THESE may be all removed by. the judi
cious use of a simple homemade system
tonic and blood purifier. made as follows:
Dissolve one ounce of kardene and one
half cupful of sugar in one-half pint
alcohol mot whiskeyl, then add enough
hot water to make a full quart or the
remedy. Take a tablespoonful before each
meal. Kardene stimulates the digestion,
arouses a torpid liver, purifies the blood
and gives tone to the whole system. by
a natural process the complexion Is

energy and enjoyment of life return.
Mrs. o.: You can make your eyebrows
grow thick and glossy by applying pyroAlh

apply pyroxin with thumb and forennger.
This makes them grow long and curly.

The Prospective Brides Linen
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
To settle a dispute, will you kindly an
swer the following question:: l am about
to get married, and would like to know
If it is proper to embroider my linen with
my own or my future husbands initial?
Thanking you in advance, | remain re-

A CONSTANT READER.
Embroider your Owl initial on your
linen. You know not many years
ago a girl, or rather her mother for
her. started to make a collection of
linen before the child had stopped
playing with her dolls. 1t would be
hard for her to know at that age
what her husbands initial would be.
