Clues to Character
The Friendly Eyebrow,
By J. O. ABERNETHY.

As high. arched brows are not in
dicatiye of great Commemorative effort,
it is safe prediction that the subject
will not be noted for profound thought.

cal mind.
Although high eyebrows are found
on persons who have excellent mem
orizing power. there is a lack of con.
centration. They learn by rote, but
when swerved from the text are hope.
lessly lost. They manifest little int.
tiative and are not good planners.
Carrying out schemes laid by others
is the method they like best
The eyes of this type generally are
large and round. They are very
agreeable, friendly and good routine
workers, but they will not go very far
in the vocational field, for they will be
found treading the beaten path for the
lack of initiative power.
When YOU see man or a woman
with eyebrows set high upon the head
and also well arched do not expect
him or her to make a success as an
investigator or as critic This type
drifts along with the tide of life and
rarely takes the time to look I'D
things. He accepts statements as
they are presented to him and is con.

in the tree above her, but Peter hadn't
seen Yowler and was aching to know
what had happened. So when he

The Baby's Shoes.

The man who is too poor to buy
shoes for the baby is in luck. or rather
the baby is, for the baby who has not
vet started TO walk needs shoes no
more than the cat needs pajamas.
Now am not proposing to organize
a society for cruelty to chjldren-We

an increased tax on digestion, especial
ly on that of the child. There is no
thought of doing without the festive
meal, however, when discriminating
against it on the holiday. Those advo-
eating making the midday or the eve
ming dinner on Christmas a simple but
delicious one merely postpone the feast
until the following Sunday. 1t must be
admitted that there are points in favor
of this idea which, though 1t may
seem strange at first glance. has been
tried out satisfactorily many times.
Simple Tasty Menu.
Let us suppose for a few moments
that we should decide to try the simple
dinner idea. What would be good
menu that would satisfy and not dis
appoint the family? How would the
following seem:
Tomato Soup with Cheese Crackers.
Thick Juicy Beefsteak.
Spiced Peaches or Homemade Pickles.
Baked Potatoes. Green Peas.
Celery
Plum Pudding with Sauce.
Crackers and Cheese.
Bonbons.
Easy to Prepare.
It will be seen at a glance that such
meal is easy to prepare. The soup
and the peas may both be from the
canned goods Of the store closet. The
potatoes need no preparation further
than to be washed clean and be put in
the oven to roast. The celery Is ready
after being washed. The plum pud-
ding should have been baked before
Christmas day in any event, and then
only requires steaming to heat it
through. The crackers. cheese and
bonbons are ready to go TO the table
as they are. The steak takes but
few moments to broil. There is little
work. tasty dinner and leisure. Yet
the dinner has its holiday aspect in
the dessert. The table should be
trimmed with green combined with red
berries or flowers to look Christmasy.
Real Christmas Feast.
When Sunday comes the family will
have the real Christmas dinner, thus
prolonging the good times Of the holt
day. Then the following menu will
prove tempting:
ConSomme aux CroutonS.
Roast Goose. Mashed Potato and Onion
Stufffng, Apple Sauce.
Stuffed Roast Turkey.
Cranberry Sauce. Mashed Potatoes.
Squash. Dreamed Onions.
Celery.
Fruit Salad Small portions).
French or Cream Dressing.
Mince Pie and Cheese or
Plum Pudding and hard sauce.
Assorted Fruits.
Nuts. RaiSins. Bonbons.
Coffee.
Those who find that Christmas day
would be lacking without the regula-
ton dinner will find this menu de-
Hcious without being extravagant.
Perhaps they would find the first
menu to their liking for Sunday.

Yowler was facing down the Laugh

Doubtful Diet.

Mrs. r. S. H. writes:
MY baby girl. six months old,
weighs 151z pounds and weighed six

she eats the yolks Of poached eggs,
wheat, baked potatoes and fruit juices.
She takes 10 ounces of milk and water

day and wakens every hour or
so at night. What causes this? She
sleeps alone"
Answer-It is my guess that despite
exceedingly fun diet she is not being
fed satisfactorily. 1t may be that she
gets too much food and it may be
that you have SO little nurse for her
that she has to be satisfied with but
10 ounces of milk and water. She has
that the former would seem the best
guess.
Nurse her but once in four hours.
If she seems dissatisfied after a nurs.
ing. give her complementary feed
ing. otherwise do not. Give her one
tablespoon of cereal only with her
morning and evening feeding, and
fruit juices once a day between any
feeding. The egg yolk Is good and can
be continued, giving that at the 2
o'clock feeding. This should help the
sleeping problem and you should soon
be able to judge by this method if
your nurse is insufficient and 1t would
be wiser to wean the baby entirely.
Mrs. r. J. F.-The babys shoes
should remain soft soled for some time
to come. The baby who is learning
to walk has much better balance
when his toes are free to spread and
grasp than when they are tightly en-
cased in stiff shoes. It is natural for
him to stand and walk and nature
has provided him with the muscles
and given them the strength to hold
his weight.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE

warm in the house, the baby Should
go barefoot.
In the Summer, outdoors. this is a
boon to the baby's health, because eX-
posture Of even the skin of the legs
TO the sunlight or skyshine gives the
baby all the blessings OF codliver oil
without the trouble Of taking the oil.
And by this time everybody ought TO
know that every baby, after the first
month or six weeks of age, should
receive a daily ration of col-liver oil #
not daily sunbath.
There IS wrong notion that a baby
needs the support of some kind of
shoes even before the baby is old
enough to walk, and many parents be-
lieve that such support Is essential
after the baby begins to walk.
A pair Of socks is sufficient cover
ing and protection for the baby's feet
before he begins to walk. After he
has learned to walk the less shoe the
| better in any case. a kind of soft
! nloccasin, which wears as we'll as stiff
| soled shoes and affords ample protec-
| ton TO the feet from injuries, is the
ideal footwear for the toddling child.
| Not until the child is old enough TO
be q run-about should the footwear
have a hard sole. Then the shoes
is, no rigid or stiff plates or counters:
the hard sole for weary and spring
heel should be quite flexible, and such
shoes should be insisted on until the
child is 10 or IL years old. 1t is a
crime to put high heels on children's
shoes.
When the baby outgrows the sock
or moccasin, the soft shoes must he
built to fit the unrestricted foot, and
that means that the shoes must have
very broad toes-the natural foot Is
broadest across the toes. Such shoes
are furnished o. some few manufac-
turers for youDs infants. They should
be available for children up to the age

ANOTHER
ADDITION TO
WINSLOW TO
BE PENEDUP

Another addition viii be made to
the city of Winslow within the next
few weeks, announces John L.
Sweeney, owner of the Sweeney
Heights addition, the sale Of lots to
begin as soon as necessary inn
provements can be made on the
property.
The first section of Sweeney
Heights, the three blocks contain
ing thirty-six pairs of lots between
Oak and Elm streets west of Wash
1ngton school, were put on the mar
ket just after the first of the year.
and the ready sale prompted Mr..
Sweeney to proceed with the OPEN
Ing up of the second half of the
division at an earlier, date than he
had at first considered.
The same building restrictions
will be Incorporated in the sale of
lots in the three blocks to be sold
as applied in the first sale. The
property will be improved in a like
manner, with the laying of con-
crete walks, lots and streets grad
ed, and water, gas and sewer con-
nect1ons made, and in addition the
streets will be surfaced with the
blue-white rock as laid on the high
way leading west of town and from
the eastern edge of the city to the
Little Colorado river bridge. Ar
rangements are now being made to
have Maple street improved in this
manner at once, through consent
OF people who purchased lots along
Maple in the first subdivision and
Mr.. Sweeney. Bob Evans will have
charge of hauling the material.
which will be put on as soon, as
street grades have been perfected.
Out-of-town people were repre-
sented among the purchasers of
lots in the first sale of Sweeney
Heights, the first restricted resi-
dence district to be added to Wins
low. Nineteen of the thirty-six
pairs of lots were sold to pros
pective home builders in Winslow,
four to people in Joseph City, three
in Holbrook and three in Flagstaff.
Williams people bought two, and
lots were sold in Snowflake, Ash
fork, Gallup, Needles and Albu-
querque.
Several lots have been spoken
for in the new addition, but the
plans of the subdivision have not
yet been perfected. However, it is
expected that even a more ready
sale will follow the formal opening
of the next sale than prevailed in
the former.
Mr.. Sweeney states that in those
cases where out-of-town people
purchased lots, the drawing power
of Winslow was stated to lie in
the desirability of Winslow as a
place of residence, the good schools
and churches. Snowflake people
in particular plan building homes
in Winslow, owing to the fact that
besides the schools and churches,
the greater volume of their bust
ness is done here, where they find
a ready sale for their farm produce.
