Replacing DisIocated Jaws.

Dislocation of the jaw, sometimes
caused by laughing or yawning. may
be replaced by gripping the jaw firmly
with the thumbs inside the patients
mouth and the fingers closed over the
outside, and pressing downward and
then backward. When the jaw slips
back into place look out for your
thumbs, for it will snap like the jaw
of turtle. 1t is best to wrap the
thumbs with cloth for protection.

Therefore, if parents desire their chill

Sincerity Gives Charm.

If we study those poets and teach
ers Of by-gOne times whom we love
whose words still have the bloom upon
them for example: Aeschylus, Plato,
Jesus, Milton, Pascal. Rousseau, Elmer

find that first of all they were sincere.
They did not need to study what Vol.

the grand art of pleasing, for their
transparency, their spontaneity gave

The Red-Hot Purpose.

That which dominates the life, which
is ever uppermOst in the mind, gen
orally comes somewhere near realiza-
ton; but there is a great difference be-
tween a lukewarm desire and red-hot
purpose. 1t takes steam to drive the
piston in the engine; warm water will
never turn the wheels. The longings
that fail of realization are usually just
below the boiling point.-Orison SWEET
