Clues to Character
Sagging Shoulders.
BY !. O. ABERNETHY.

When you encounter a chap whose
shoulders sag, whose head leans tor
ward and who plodS along, you will
know that he is lacking in pride self
confidence and pep. No one with the
much in this hurry-up day and age
He rarely ever gets a raise in salary
and is not pointed out as a go-getter.
We will agree with Aristotle that
IAN upright carriage of a person dc
notes courage" Because of his droop-
ing posture he may be a physical
weakliI.g. Dropping makes poor
health, lack of vigor and laZiness.
Often this person is a crouch, sour.
and it Is a difficult matter to pie r
him. When criticized he is quick to
blame others. Being lazy, he seldom
protests very hard, but takes it out
in whining.
No one with a fair measure of pride
and self-esteem will adopt this sag
ging posture. You will find that the
forward looking, outstanding "So-Set
tiers" in every age and cline walk
with firm tread. hold their heads
high and their shoulders we'll back
No doubt your attention often has
been arrested by the sagging indi-
vidual. He droops and seems to move
along in an unsteady gait: he pokes
along on his way to work and handles
everything noThalantly while on the
job. You need not expect much cour-
age or determination or elf-confi-

NY Neighbor Says:

Grass stains can easily be re-
moved from linens. cOttons. or
from white stockings by rub
washing.
Always grease new pie
plates. pot covers. sleeves. tin
cups and bread pans with lard
before using them and put
them in a warm oven. They
will never rust if treated in
this way.
To wash a hairbrush use a
weak solution of ammonia,
about one tablespoonful of the
fluid to pint of warm water.
The ammonia will cut" any
greasy substance in the brush
and is better than soap. Dip
the brush from time to time
into the ammonia water or
rather the bristles. and rub
them to and fro in the hand
until clean. Then rinse first in
warm and then in cold water.
Never turn brush on It's back
to dry, because the water will
injure the wood mounting.
Wipe the back of the brush and
set the bristles downward to
dry on clean cloth. where it
will get sun and air. To dis
infect hairbrush put a few
drops of Carbolic acid (poison)
in the rinsing water.
When cooking eggs wet the
shells thoroughly in cold water
before dropping them in the
boiling water. and they will not
crack.
Salt moistened with vinegar
will remove burnt marks from
enameled saucepans and dishes.
Don't forget that they should
be soaked in cold water for a
few hours first to loosen the
stains.

A Good Time to Reduce.

Il am noticeably overweight. have
a heavy drowsy feeling after lunch,
but have hesitated about trying to
reduce because l am afraid to under
mine my health. Is the summer
good time to reduce" writes Mrs.
w. A. G.
The heavy, drowsy feeling is prob
ably caused by autointoxication.
which means that the waste from
food eaten is not fully eliminated and
the poison in the intestines re-enters
the system and creates a heavy loggy
feeling. Fruits, vegetables and whole
grain cereals will give residue and off
set the tendency to constipation.
While it is utterly foolish for one
who is of normal weight to think of
reducing for any reason whatever. it
is also foolish for one who is notice
ably overweight" not to heed the
health warning. "Noticeably over
weight" is a sign of wrong eating.
Either the stout victim eats too much
and the nourishment is not used up.
but is put by in fat, or the fattening
foods predominant. These are the
causes in practically all the cases.
Specific disease or some gland trouble
is the cause of a very small proper
ton of overweight.
ing food necessary to provide strength
is not cut out. In following such a
diet the reduce will feel better.
The sluggish fat cluttering up the
stomach. legs and the circulation will
gradually dissolve. Digestion will i'm
prove. Constipation will disappear.
After the age of 80 scientific inves-
tigation has proved that decided over:
weight il a health menace. Kidney
trouble. heart disease. high blood pres
sure usually accompany overweight.
In fact, insurance companies hold
that life expectancy Tor probability of
living) of the middle-aged slim ones
is greater than for the stout.
The Summer is really a good time
to reduce. First. because the vitality
of the overstout is not so good.
Though reducing by sensible means
will not sap vitality, still there is
usually less demand on bodily reserve
force in the Summer.
Second. it should be easier to start
and stick TO a reducing diet in the
Summer. The warm weather sort of
kills every ones appetite for heavy
starchy foods. rich pastry desserts
and fat dishes. These are taboo if
