BEWARE OF NERVES,
By EDNA KENT FORBES.

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 dand- ruff is due to a neurotic condition. It is indirectly the reason for falling hair It is a cause of some varieties of eczema It is sometimes the req son for a coarse-gCained skin, because it makes the complexion very dry and coarse pores are apt to result from this.
 It is very frequently the cause of excessive peHDiration. In fact it 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, unexplainable feeling, that makes US want to get away from the thing we are doing, yet seems to deprive us of sufficient energy to change.
 Nervousness is the cause of all sorts of foot troubles. Sometime es even of 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 ner- vous would make the feet hurt
 You must rem ember that the nerv- ous system is all through your body, and that when it is acting badly, you can be poisoned just as surely as though you ate bad food I do not want any of my readers to nurse their nerves" as some doctors put it, because nerves are best forgotten when they can be forgotten.
 But if you have anything wrong with your nervous system, you will suffer for it and the wiSest thing for you to do is to recognize that fact and take means to build yourself up or to get away, so that you can for get you have such things as nerves. After all, the nerves respond to an improved physical condition, just as the body responds to an improved nervous condition.
 Miss Theresa - When you have squeezed out the b1ackhead, touch the place where it has been with a little peroxide of hydrogen. This is anti septic and astringent, so it will close up that large pore. If you do not re- duce these pores, they will, of course fill up again as b1ackheads. If you keep the skin properly cleaned they will reduce gradually. so you will not have any trouble.
 Anna-An average weight for a girl 22 who is 5 feet ? inches is 12o pounds. If your arms and legs are thin it shows that you need to de- ve1op yourself by exercising. An ex- ceMent way of making the eye1ashes thicker is to clip them and apply, not vase1ine, but some preparation made with vegetable oil.
 There is no remedy for a long neck As a matter of fact long neck is very beautiful if the head and shoul- ders are held properly. If your neck seems too long, break the line of it by wearing becoming collars.
