Beware of Nerves!

A great many of the troubles my
readers have are due only to their
nervous systems. It is amazing the
unexpected results that nervousness
will have on ones health and looks.
Some cases of badness are due to
nervousness. A great deal Of dan
druff is due to neurotic condition.
It is indirectly the reason for falling
hair. 1t is a cause Of some varieties
of eczema 1t is sometimes the rea-
son for a coarse-grained skin, be-
cause it makes the complexion very
dry and coarse pores are apt to result
from this.
1t is very frequently the cause Of
excessive perspiration. In fact, 1t is
responsible for SO many things of
this sort that I have not space here
to tell them all. We all know what
nervous depression is! We know
that curious. unexplainahle feeling that
makes us want to get away from the
thing we are doing. yet seems to de-
prive US Of sufficient energy to change.
Nervousness is the cause Of all
sorta of foot troubles. Sometimes
even of q queer little spot that comes
on the bottom of the foot that makes
walking painful and that develops
into something very much like a
corn. Yet who would think that
being nervous would make the feet
hurt!
You must remember that tha nerv-
GUS system Is all through your body.

.aHeta So far, so good. But the
designers throw aside the narrow
SKIRT OF the Luxembourg and create
q wide Spanish skirt embroidered at
rs hem in colored woods. Therefore
is excellent. No one, least of all the
public, wants period gowns pure
and simple. A backward glimpse
into another fashion is good and
stimulating, but slavish observation
Of the exact fashions of the period
disaster. The main feature about
this gown is the use of bright taf-
feta. The looms have woven this
material: They have put stripes
ahead of many other designs; there
fore the public will struggle with
stripes. 1t is not an easy task to
dress we'll when this design is in
straight fashion. 1t is wise to be-
lieve that the fine hairline. the So
called pin stripe. is the safest to
buy. but it will not please the ex-
tremist, who already appears in one
nf k~,,T -
in flannel and biege topcoats of
twill bound with blue braid. Be
meath this coat is a waistcoat that
mounts to the chin. This is the ex-
treme Interpretation of the fashion
and it can be worn with ease and
represents the American figure.
There is another usage of striped
materials in blue and buff. in black
and white. They are made into
square Chinese blouses. with a dark
skirt attached at the hipline There
the side in the manner that no one
escapes this spring. About the low
waist line runs a belt of fancy leath
er, and the edges of the wide sleeves
and the square neck are finished with
pleating of white organdy.
The public asks the question con-
cerning the multiplicity of narrow
belts in the season that the wide
sash is heavily featured. 1t is a
truth that there is room enough for
both in this wide world. The mar
row fanciful belt has no fear of it's
popularity. 1t appears on the most
sumptuous evening gowns, placed at
the hip. and it appears on the most
simple morning gown, loosely draped
between the waist and the hips
and made of cut-out leather. of metal
lace, of heavy jet. One clever de-
signer in New York makes his belts
of small mother of pearl buckles run
through by a beige ribbon.

versal OF the principle Of good will
and esteem and confidence-confi-
dence that the other fellow is going
ahead in his prosperity and enjoy
ment of plenty. And II any one
showed signs of doing that, in the
family of nations, that one would
receive the scorn and i'll will of all
the rest, and voluntary reaction
against such state or nation would
hurt their trade and prosperity and
bring on the lack of friendship and
plenty.
1t is at least an interesting thing
to contemplate. 1t has been pro-
posed as basis of action many times
when .one or more nations were in
the humor, but never when any con-
siderable number were impressed by
the need of it. Just now the whole
world is in mourning, due to- an
idiotic war that was never necessary
or excusable, and the whole world
devoutly wishes for peace. And it
is not beyond the scope of possibility
that it may be made to pass muster
at the throne of nations and really
go into effect.
At this Christmas time, more than
at any other since the Christian era,
we may be justified in entertaining
the hope and cultivating the spirit
embodied in this move. 1t is safe
investment and can do no harm.
