YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBE1N Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia,
 the Health Magazine.


 Figures just made available in an article published in "Science' and the records of tho state Of Illinois for the last ten years show that the life expectancy of men in the Unit cd States has decree eased by one year Curing the last decade.
 The figures are of the greatest significance. We have been saying much about the increased years that have been granted to man by the progress of medical science.
 It is definitely proved that where as the child born in the United States in 1925 could expect to live only to 33 years, the child born in the Unit ed States today may expect to live to 5S years.
 However, the man who reached 70 years of age in 1925 had an cX- pectancy of PIP years and the one whoreacEes 50 years today has fife expectancy of approximately 21.e years. Irdeed, the latest figures as Lave been mentioned, indicate that | the man of 40 may now reasonably expect only 29 years, whereas 10 | years ago his expectancy was talcu- lated at 30 years. Obviously the gain | that has been made is in tho first | three decades of life and represents | the control of infant mortality and l of the acute infectious diseases Of 1 childhood,

Harmony in Dress Secret of Beauty

Jascha Heifetz, the famous vio- linist-husband of Florence Vidor, is said to have remarked he is more proud of his wifes beauty and fault less taste than he is of his musical .trumphs.
 And that is just another way of admitting that beautiful woman is well-groomed woman. AL though Miss Vidor's skin, hair and features are lovely, taken separ- ately, it is the harmony of her dress combined with the beauty Of her face and figure which make her unusually charming.
 Grooming includes so many things" Miss Nidor said. ITO say q woman is well-groome1 means that her face, hair, eyes, hands and nails are well cared for, that her makeup complements her natural beauty, that she is dressed in good taste and that the lines and colors of her clothes further supplement her personality. ouly by all tNHduSilNe StuuS Of her best features may woman become we'll -groomed. And, after the study is completed, she must | have the courage of her convic- I tions to follow the styles which are best suited to her type instead of following blindly in the trend of fashion.

 "We see so many girls wear ing fashionable short skirts whose legs and knees are badly formed. They would be so much more at tractive with skirts enough long CT not 10 be conspicuously long and yet make their legs more at tractive.

 One fond mother, having discov- cred her five-year- in the act of filching money from his grand mothers purse, laughed and de- clared that he was just too cute for anything. Then she begged that he be allowed to keep the quarter he had been clever enough to take.
 Another mother whipped her four year old for taking candy from her bureau drawer and told him she would never trust him again.
 These are extremes. Neither meth cd makes easier for the child the difficult distinction between mine and thine. The one creates feeling of Responsibility, the other a last ing self-depreciation Theft, even in a three-year-o deserves seri- ous consideration, but even in 12- year-old it should not be treated as a high, irrevocable crime-a per manont mark of bad character.
 Whenever a child takes what does not belong to him. he should be 1 forced immediately to make restitu- 1 tion. This should be done in a per 1 fcctly matter of fact way without the fireworks of emotion.
 If, in order to make restitution it is necessary to take money from | the child's allowance or from his savings, it should not be done so as to leave him pennless or nearly so, lest the temptation to further theft be created
 Don't tell your child that you are shocked, griaved or humiliated by lis action. Let him understand quite simply that to take what does not belong to you is nowhere permitted and that such wroNgdoing must be made good before accounts can be squared.
 And then let him forget the whole business, while you do likewise. As sume that he is an honest child trust him quite as you have done ir the past. Be sure, too, to look into the motives for his misdeed and make such adjustments as will re move temptations in the future.
