Clues to Character
No Charitable Donations.
BY J. O. ABERNETHY.

The shape, size and peculiarities of
the ear have attracted but little at
tention from observers generally.
While we often notice and remark
about the different features of the
face, but few have paid attention to
the contour of the ears. Scientific
physiognOmy now shows its high sig
nificance as to character and also dis
closes to which system of function
each of it's divisions belongs.
Do not overlook the ear in judging
character. Certain forms of ears in
dicate musical talent, oratOrical abil-
ity. commercial vision and other
characteristics.
Thinking qualities of the individual
are indicated by the pear-shaped ear.
which is full at the top and tapers
gracefully toward the lower part, it's
lines being curved and artistic. Such
an ear is found on the heads of per-
sons of temperament. Square or
oblong ears are indicative of the mo-
tive temperament, the type that is
energetic physically.
If the ear is very small and Clings
tightly and stiffly to the head. with
an inclination to lie down fiat. you
will understand that here is a person
whose chief aim in life is to pile up
the dollars and to hold them. Those
who possess ears of this type do not
make large donations to charity or
other worthy causes, no matter how
much they have.

Toothbrush Values.

A toothbrush is the last thing to
save money on. It's poor economy to
buy a second-rate toothbrush, whose
loose bristles will scratch and irritate
the gums and fail to clean teeth or
crevices. Your health depends so
much on the cleanness of your teeth
that a good toothbrush is an essential
need not a luxury.
The large staight handled. fiat-faced
toothbrush has passed out of existence
as far as most of us are concerned.
1t didn't clean all of our teeth because
it couldn't reach them. The tooth
brush of today Is scientifically de-
signed so that it's easy to clean IN,
between and back of the teeth. The
brush fits snugly in all parts of the
mouth.
The ideal toothbrush has about three
rows of jbrlstles, though many good
brushes have as many as five. The
knots of the bristles should be of vary
ing lengths so that the entire surface
of the teeth can be reached and
cleaned. A great deal depends upon
the shape of the handle, which should
be curved in a way to make it COM
Portable to reach all parts of the
mouth with the brush

ferred by quite a few. 1t has a small
brush on one end and large brush
on the other, and to serve a double
purpose. The little brush reaches
those spots around the wisdom teeth
that are hard to get at with the big
brush. The big brush cleans the larger
moars. You must decide for yourself
just how stiff you will want the
bristles to be. A brush should ordi-
narily be fairly stiff, but if your gums
are tender or "spongy" soft bristles
are best. These are sometimes made
of badger hair or goat hair.
AS far as reaching the hard places
is concerned, the brush with the con-
cave surface is best adapted for the
lob. 1t is called the 'tuft' shape.
There are other brushes. too, for the
purpose. Some of them are wide
brushes. with knots close together or
far apart. depending upon the theory
of the maker. The bristles should, not
be set too close together or they will
block and cannot penetrate between
the teeth Another point in favor of

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Irregularly Fed.

Mrs. r. l.. E. writes:
"My baby is 10 months old, heavy,
very active, stands alone and walks
around in his play pen holding to the
rails. He has two teeth, but is quite
pale. He had wonderful color until
this Summer. He spends most OF his
time in the cir. Here is his schedule:
Bottle at $50, sleep, bath at about 9
and plays in pen until II, then goes
to sleep with a bottle. Sleeps until /.
gets boiled egg or some mashed vege-
tables, such as carrot, spinach or
squash, plays until 3. gets another
bottle, sleeps until $50, then gets
either milk or custard or junket with
dry toast. Is put to bed at 7:S0 with
bottle of milk. Gets another bottle
when | go to bed. He gets orange
juice and water when he will take it.
He takes one quart of milk with
water. maltose and lime water, eight
ounces at feeding. Is he getting
enough to eat and enough sleep? If
anything wakens him he won't go
back to sleep without a bottle. What
shall | do about this?"
Answer.
There is quite a lot to criticize In
your schedule. In the first place, the
baby is being given milk or some food
about every 21a hours throughout the
day. This is very bad. At this age
he should not be fed oftener than
once in four hours. Your mistake Is
in treating milk as if it were bever-
age and not a complete food and just
as much of a meal as vegetables or
egg or custard. This is the correct
schedule for his age and by changing
to this I imagine you will find an i'm
provement in his condition generally:
Schedule for Baby of 10 Months.
If the baby's day starts at 7:30 it
will end at the same time, if it starts
at or $50 he will go to bed at those
hours. otherwise the schedule is the
same, that is the meals should be kept
four hours apart.

Use Of Crayons.

One Mother Says:
Many a cherished picture is spoiled
because the child who is colOring 1t
bears down too heavily upon the
crayon he is using. This streaky ef-
feet may be remedied by scraping
gently with a bit of sandpaper. an
emory board, an eraser or the sharp
edge of a penknife. Show the chill
dren how to do it themselves. Show
them, too, how beautifully a crayOn
may be sharpened by heating the end

point by pinching with the fingers.

BY MRS. HARLAND III. ALLEN.
the widely spaced bristles is that they

the widely spaced bristles is that they
make a brush easy to clean.
If you use a good brush properly
you'll get real satisfaction out of it..
If you don't you're wasting your pur-
chase money. A new brush should be
soaked in water for about II hours be-
fore you use it. Otherwise bristles
may come out. Always immerse a
brush in warm water for at least two
minutes before using. 1t is false
economy to let a brush wear out
The life of brush is never longer
than three months, and a new brush
after two months use isn't extrava-
gance. Considering the value and
service of brush. it certainly pays
to use fresh, strong, clean brushes.
If you can't decide what sort of a
brush you should buy. your dentist or
druggist will help you. A clean tooth
won't decay, and almost all dental
troubles start with decay. Keep your
teeth clean. your dentist bills light
and your health good.

Care of Chinaware.

When your white china or porcelain
tableware becomes discolored and dull
looking from constant use. pile it all
in large dishpan and cover with
water to which has been added one
tablespoonful of soda to each gallon
of water. Boil for an hour and your
dishes will look like new.
To mend chinaware, take a very
thick solution of gum arabic and stir
into it plaster of paris until the mix
ture becomes viscous paste, apply
with a brush to the fractured edges
and stick together. In three days the
article cannot be broken in the same
place. The whiteness of the cement
renders it dOubly valuable.
