PARROT ALMOST TOO CLEVER
Possibility That Indiana Bird May
Lose a Little, if Not All, of
Its Popularity.

Mr.. and Mrs. Watt Irwin, of Koko-
mo, have a parrot which is interesting.
Reuben easily fits into the Irwin family
circle In the evening, injecting remarks
occasionally and at times seeming to
ponder. He has made life a burden to
some of the ~neighborhood boys whose
mothers call them from play to OBJ
noxious tasks. So cleverly does he
initiate the voices Of the mothers that
the little chaps are deceived.
The Twins noticed Reuben hanging
by his feet from the top of the cage
and going through other exercises soon
after they bought him.
Look, Reuben's doing stunts! !" Mrs.
Irwin exclaimed.
Stunts y yelled the bird. Ever after
that when he began the performance
he always prefaced it with the word.

the house with visitors, to show the

THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
SETTING A b

The virtue in most request is con.
formity.-Emerson.
TT DOESN'T take a bit longer to SET
a table In the way that has been
generally agreed in this country to be
the most attractive and convenient
way than 1t does In a way that indi-
Gates that o are Indifferent and care
less. 1t may not seem like a matter Of
vital Importance whether you put the
butter plate at the right side or at the
left, or whether the water glass is
placed just beyond the forks or the
knife. And perhaps 1t isn't vital. but
he way that has been decided upon is
really most convenient. Anyway. since
the water glass is usually placed at the
right, at the tip of the knife, and the
butter plate at the left, at the end of
the fork, we are used to 1t that way
and we associate that way with the
carefully set table and the well-run
household. When knives and forks are
crossed over the plates and the plates
are turned downward on the tablecloth,
the spoons kept in a spoonholder and
q little dish of toothpicks is in the
middle of the table. we Immediately
have the wrong sort of impression.
We are p~rejudiced from the start.
Remember that it is customary to
have the napkin placed at the left of
the plate, although at formal dinners
sometimes it is placed on the plate
that is set at each place, the dinner
roll being tucked between the folds of
the napkin.
On some tables there is always an
assemblage of condiment bottles of all
sorts. catsup, horseradish, tabasco
sauce and mustard, all in their original
containers and these are placed on
the table at every meal whether or not
they are the right sort of condiment
with the dishes to be served. Now as
much as possible we should keep the
table free from these little accessories.
Serve the right condiment, preferably
in a dish that shows no sign of the
manufacturers name-with boiled beef
a little mustard, with corned beef a
bottle of catsup or chilli sauce, ac
cording to the tastes of the family.
If you have little or no service at
table, then 1t is best to place more N
the table than you would otherwise.
The bread, freshly sliced, should be
set On the table before the meal is be-
gun. If the table is long there should
be two plates of bread. The glasses
should be filled just before the diners
are assembled and a carafe of cold
may be placed on the table to
the replenishing of the
glasses. This is preferable to the wa
ter pitcher. If individual salts and
peppers are not provided then there
be one placed between each
two places toward the center of the
table. .

POSTAGE STAMPS

An Erglishman, Sir Rowland Hill, once saw poor woman receive a letter from her husband and then give 1t back to the carrier without open ing it, saying sho was too poor to pay the postage. By the style of the address and other marks on the en- velope she could tell whether her hus- band was well, sick Or coming home Determined to make postage so cheap that the poor would not have to use such means of communication, Sir Rowland urged Great Rritian to es- tablish system of cheap postage. In 1S40 this was done. Adhesive postage stamps were invented by James Chalmers, printer of Dun dee, in 1924. They were introduced into the United states in 1921.

CLEARS COMPLEXION
 AS IF BY MAGIC
No Longer Necessary to Be a Victim of Unpopularity on Account of a Bad
 Complexion

Very often pimple, blackhead or irritation of the skin is simply ma ture's way of warning, you that you are careless, and is reminding you that you must take care of your skin, clean it of the dust and grease which collect in the pores so they can throw off impurities from the system, which otherwise collect, and then lester, causing blackheads, pimples and other face ruiners.
 Wopen who endured these dis- tressing things for years and who never seemed to be able to find any thing which would really get rid of them are now using Black and White Cleansing Cream because it really keeps every one of the little pores cleaned out healthy and active In getting rid of the things which ordi- narily cause pimples and sore skin.
 By using Black and White Cleans ing Cream regularly you make your skin soft, smooth and lovely Then, instead of putting on just any face powder in the mornings. first use the Peroxide Cream, which keeps the skin clear, free from surface grease and makes your Black and White Face Powder stay on evenly instead of making your face look "pasty" and "Oyer- -pOWQered."

BEAUTY AND HEALTH
By DIR. LILLIAN WHITNEY

Margaret Gorosse-You are very foolish to allow an enlarged nose to cause you such unhappiness, unless this feature Is so obnoxious that it seriously interferes with your social or commercial success.
 Should it be as bad as that, I ad- wise you to consult a surgeon whose speciality is reconstruction of the nose, otherwise give up the home treatment, which you say only makes the trouble worse, and let well enough alone. You can detract at- tention from your nose by beauti- flying your other features, especial ly the hair. Wear it full and very fluffy over the ears and well on to the cheeks.
 R. S.-The standard height for girl of fourteen is four feet ten and one-half inches, so you see that you are unusually tall for your age. The weight one hundred and five pounds, is correct for your height and I should do nothing to increase it. What you require above all things is daily systematic exercise in the open air,
 W. B. D. and Mrs. N-The formula for gray hair restorer is not mine to give. I mentioned this because it is the only restorer which is not stain or dye.
 Margaret-You are quite correct. I cannot give the names of proprie- tary articles here. Read what fol- lows to Harriet"
 Harriet-Do not use cocoa butter on your face for massage purposes. Laughing lines are hard to eradicate because they are characteristic. You will have to change your tempera- ment or control your "risibles," and laugh or rather smile only with your eyes. IL can be done, if you religi- ously school yourself to do it. Here IS an excellent massage cream: AL mond oil, 3 ounces; white wax, 8 drams; spermaceti, drams; lanolin, l ounce; elder flower water, ounces, witch hazel, 1 ounce.
 Admirer-I wouldn't give you a remedy for headache through this column. Promiscuous remedies are

.CRITICISING YOURSELF

q try to be as critical of myself rian, "but the more I study and ob- serve my faults in work or at home, the more worried I become"
 My friend has brought up an in- teresting point-that of self-criti- cism. When you stop tC think about yourself and your progress, or lack of it, there are two methods of criticising yourself: One is in a constructive way, which is whole some and practical, and the other Is in a morbid way, which makes you worry, as in the case of the librarian whC wrote me.
 I know one young woman, a a research worker. She has analysed and criticised herself and after studying other young successful re- search workers whom she knows she has decided that she is too nerv- ous, does not talk freely enough and has not sufficient personality to un- dertake this type of work.
 Now that young woman is indulg- ing in the wrong kind of self-criti- cism. She has analysed herself found out her faults and because she knows them Is afraid to enter new line of work. Her criticism is all right as far as 1t goes-but 1t does not go far enough.
 It is one thing to criticise yourself and to know your weaknesses, but fl is another thing to study those weaknesses with a view to overcom- ing them. Suppose you find that you are timid and nervous. What good does it do you to worry over that fact? Once you know 1t. your next step is to overcome it by building up confidence in yourself and by telling yourself regularly that you can do such and such thing.
 I certainly believe in the policy of taking stock of one's abilities and faults, but after the inventory 1t Is a good policy to lay out complete plan of action which will help you improve on the strong points and build up the weak ones.
 The important thing is not to worry over the weak spots which you reveal in your criticism. That only makes them worse. Just con- slider the case of the young librarian and not how morbid she will become by worrying over her faults instead of improving them.
 Analyze yourself, certainly, but see that 1t is constructive. Don't be content merely with knowing what Is wrong with yourself. Take some steps toward changing the wrong There 1t no fault SC permanent, no weakness so serious that one cannot overcome it by intelligent and per sistent determination. es

SLEEPING CARS

The first sleeping cars in America were operated on the Cumberland Valley railroad between Harrisburg and Chambersburg, Pa. in 1856. Each night the train met two coach loads of messengers tired from their long journey from Pittsburgh. For their convenience berths were installed. Folding berths were first madv by George M. Pullman in 1863. In 1883 he introduced the sleeping car with separate compartments into the United States, having previously suc- cessfully tried them in Europe. This is the kind most used in Europe to- day.

FALSE TEET4

False teeth were worn by the an- cient Egyptians, evidence in mum mics buried in 500 B. c. shows. These teeth were of gold, ivory bone, wood or stone. Prior to the manufacture of porcelain teeth in 1774 by Ducha- teau, a French chemist human teeth and those of sheep and cattle were used. Before modern improvements in the science of dentistry, these were fastened together by gold and silver wire, unbleached thread sea grass, silk and gut. In times past solid sets have been cut from the tusks of the elephant and the hippopotamus.
