IS PRODIGY AT MATHEMATICS
Six-Year-Oid Boy at Findiay, O., Ex
cells in Addition and Sub
traction.

Findlay, GA child wonder with
unusual mental powers, has been dis
covered in the first grade West State
street school by Miss Helen Gasklll, the
teacher
He is Master Roy Fork, aged six,
son of F. L. Fork. well-drilier, resid-
ing on Franklin avenue. While bright
in all his school work, the yOungster
is a prodigy in mathematics.
He knows the calendar by heart
and although given the most severe
questions with regard to days and
dates, never makes a mistake. If you
tell him your age he can tell in a sec
Ond the year you were born, and ii
you give him the date Of your birth
day, and ask him what day Of the
week it comes on he replies at once,
correctly and without fail
His ability cannot be attributed to
mental telepathy, for in many in
stances he tells the day of dates in
last years calendar, which, when you
look them up, you find are right.
Although not customary to teach
children the months and authorizations
of months, Roy had them mastered
when he went to kindergarten, and the
remarkable feature is that he was
never taught.
He is also lightning fast in problems
which deal with addition and subtrac-
tion Of the calendar, and catch ques-
tiOns are easily solved.

HINTS

Chapped face and hands are caused
by cold, irritating winds of winter, too
frequent washing with strong soap
and improper drying of the parts aft
er washing.
Sweat glands are not as active in
winter as in the warmer months and
an unnatural dryness of the skin of
ten develops. The skin cracks and
breaks like piece Of dry leather un-
der conditions that it endures with.
out strain when properly fabricated.
Usually the skin is badly cracked
and bleeding before anything is done
to relieve conditions.
Treatment of chapped skin consists
in restoring some of the lost fats and
oils. The use of soap and water should
be limited as much as possible to per.
sons chapping easily.
The soap used should contain some
free fat and the water for bathing
should be as soft as can be obtained.
After washing, little cold cream,
olive oil or vaseline will help restore
to the hands some Of their natural soft.
ness.
At bedtime the skin should again be
softened by an application Of fat or
tragacanth lotion.
When We enter cold air or cold wa
ter the nerves in the skin send the
blood rushing toward the Surface Of
the body and we become warmer.
On the other hand when the heat is
intense the skin cools the body by
sweating.
When the skin loses its vigor 1t is
unable to resist sudden changes in
temperature. A good skin suggests vi.
tally and when kept in condition tends
to develop this quality.
