DIET AND HEALTH
By LULU HUNT PETERS, M. D.

look at your teeth afterward in one of
those nagnifying shaving glasses
You'll be surprised at the deposits
you'll find still there.
Toothpicks are to be discouraged, but
dental floss may be used if used gently
so that there is no injury to the gums.
DentifriceS.-The function of the
dentifrice is simply that of a mechani-
cal aid to clean the teeth. 1t should
not be too gritty or too soapy, nor
have any particular medication in it.
Mouth Washes.-The best mouth
wash is a salt solution, according to
many specialists. Usually normal salt
solution Is recommendations teaspoon
full to pint of water; but DR. Louise
Bell tells me that If it is twice the
strength of the normal solution-one
level teaspoonful to the full eight
ounce glass of water-it is very much
more effective in killing off the germs
of the mouth. She advises after brush
ing to rinse the mouth thoroughly,
drawing the water in between the
teeth, and then gargling the throat
three times. Then hold small mouth
full for five minutes Zone can be dress
ing meanwhile), expel this, and gargle
three times again.
This care of the teeth that I have
outlined, plus the balanced diet Eyes
the integrity OF the teeth does also
depend on the diet, even in adult life),
plus regular visits to the dentist, will
help prevent infections of all sorts, in
Guiding pyorrhea.
'Is pimple which forms regularly
every four or five weeks and has been
doing this for the last six years, likely
to end in cancer? My husband will
not see. a doctor about this, and
would like your opinion. MRS. B."
A pimple in itself isn't any indica-
ton of cancer, but there must be some
| chronic disturbance there to have one
occur every few weeks for the last six
years, Mrs. B. 1t may be an overac-
| tive oil gland which fills up like a
blackhead and gets infected. But since
it is around the head, it certainly
should be investigated because it is
under suspicion of having cancerous
possibilities. Your husband should GO
to competent skin specialist. Skin
cancers are durable in the large ma
jority of cases, If not too far advanced
by the X-ray, radium and other treat
ments.

About Reducing.

There is one thing must now and
then warn my too stout readers ABOUT.
That is, don't become too enthusiastic
and reduce too fast! II you are over
weight and lose flesh too quickly, you're
bound to look old and haggard. Your
skin has stretched over a lot OF hesh;
1t can't shrink so fast. II 1t hangs
loosely over your face and body, OF
course it is going to go into wrinkles
and slack lines. You've taken away
the foundations from under 1t.
On the other hand, the skin possesses
marvellous elasticity. Cold cream mas
sage and ice rubs will assist In keeping
it fresh looking and in shrinking 1t as
YOU reduce. But even so, keep yourself
from reducing more than pounds

idea of putting on a bathing suit. In
three weeks she took off is pounds.
While it improved her figure, it made

have started reducing earlier, and taken
more than seven weeks to lose this.

IN. A. N. A).-Now that the village is
installing cooling systems in its Bev-

Of the colony's financial leaders are
considering the cooling system for the

been an accepted fact here. Any one
who is in the upper-salary class has a
steam room and showers and electric
cabinets and the reducing paraphernalia.
OF course, the swimming pool is the first
indication of a well-lined purse, so the
steam rooms are generally adjacent to
the pool. In many cases well equipped
gymnasium is to be found in this neigh
borhood also.
Now the sybarites of the village will
be able to turn a lever and make their
homes as cool as their theaters.

beleaguered by overimportunate suitors

Everyday Psychology
Inferiority Complex

A great many people with no sign Of
the mueh-talked- about inferiofity COM
plex imagine that they have one. Young
people between the ages OF 20 and rs
are very prone to imagine this. It Is
somewhere along In the twenties that
ones first serious rebuffs come. that
ones first real ambitions are likely to
suffer q setback. Young people are. Of
course, looking for explanations for their
complex is readily accepted a. q likely
candidate among a host Of causes.
The following are some CT the defense
reactions which indicate an inferiority
complex:
/. Extreme sensitiveness to criticism.
This must be extreme, for any normal
person Is always somewhat sensitive to
criticism; at least he should be.
2. This condition Of sensitivity is
followed by the development of what are
known as ideas of reference" Those
who suffer from ideas of reference" en-
terrain the suspicion that some person
or group Of persons is planning to en-
barrass them. They get to the place
where they hesitate to take part In the
most innocent Of social contacts. Some
times they imagine that even q group
OF strangers on the street Is talking
about them. In one case that has come
to my attention the individual felt I'M
easy on street cars with seats so ar
ranged that the passengers faced one
another.
3. They dislike contests Of all kinds.
And since normal life is full of COMPETE
ton they are hard put to find ways and
means to keep from displaying their
elf-imputed weaknesses. They engage
In contests only with those whom they
may easily surpaSs or with those whom
they are not expected to surpass. In
other words, they shun normal competi-
ton.
4. They develop chronic tendency
to criticize other people. even strangers
They go about offering confidential
criticisms OF people, many of whom they
have only read about or heard about
At the same time. in order to make this
criticism appear just they will offer one
or two conservatively toned compliment
tary remarks, usually at the beginning
Of their TRADE.
To sum up, the real indications Of in
feriority completes are extreme sensi-
tiveness ideas of reference. dislike OF
competition and derogation.

made that parent whom he so respected

Leopold Mozart, himself most seri-

naturally on the lookout for talent In his
daughter, Marianne, and his son.
He began to teach Marianne to play
on the harpsichord when she was z.
Then Wolfgang's great genius came out.
Though scarcely 8, he tried. with strik-
ing results, to initiate his sister.
The father taught him few minuets

80 minutes, playing with marvellous pre-
cision and f1rmness.

''what are you doing In there-tak-

You should have two brushes, to

best type of brush Is small one, with
bristles of uneven lengths and in groups
far apart, so they can better get in be-

them so that the bristles do get In be-

Pincushions whether plain or ornate
must have one thing in common If
they are to be satisfactory, and that is
the right sort of filling. Unless pins
can be thrust into them easily they are
useless. No one likes to push and work
pins into cushion that Is resistant.
The pins should be held firmly when
lightly stuck into it. Today am CIV
ing some unusual filings for pincush-
ions that have the desirable quality
and suggestions about those to avoid.
There are two fragrant filings: One Is
pine needles; the other is coffee
grounds. Now is the time to begin to
gather the pine needles.
Before filling the cushions see that
the needles are sun dried. Pack them
close together, for pincushion should
be firm. Make the first container for
the needles of cotton cloth, or muslin,
as it is called in some parts of this
country. A lightweight is preferable as
the pungent fragrance of the pine will
penetrate it easily. The outer cover
may be anything the maker chooses, but
a somewhat loose weave will be best for
the same reason.
