my suggestions will be Of aid to
you worried mothers.
The finger-nail biting habit is
frequently blamed on nervousness.
But most physicians are Of the
opinion that children are not basic
ally They believe finger
nail biting Is more likely to be
merely a reflection OF the same
minor irritations which we grown
ups experience from time 10 time.
Children however are not able TO
trace these conditions 10 the source
and eliminate them unless they are
guided by their elders.
IL you remember back 20 your
childhood days you. too, probably bit
at your nails in mn effort 70 make
their rough edges smooth. II know
that I did and II vas only after my
mother bought me a manicurinE kit
and explained the various accessories
10 me that ! broke myself OF the
habit. Even then II was quite a
battle and long after IL was won
under ordinary circumstances. I still
had trouble refraining from the habit
when / was taken TO the movies.
Finally at such times / kept my
gloves on and so over q period OF
time the habit was completely
broken.
Most mothers keep their chtidren's
finger-nails cut or filed and clean,
but far too often this simple routine
completes the child's manicure. "A
small finger-nail file. the sole prop

overcome the biting habit.
Then. too. if she has o. special far
or cuticle cream so that she can
massage this around her nails TO
keep the skin from getting rough
and ragged II will give her an added
incentive 10 keep her hands in
grown-up beauty condition.
Once the nails have been evenly
filed and properly cleaned. the cuticle
should be pushed back with an
orange wood stick and any ragged
edges clipped off. Then. the child
will see how nice her hands look and
will be eager TO help keep them 50.
OF course. II takes a little time to
get the habit firmly established. but
by keeping both the nails and the
cuticle smooth los or the incentive
for nail biting Is removed.
Most little girls would simply adore

in good condition, having adequate sleep and
rest: These have a direct bearing upon heart
health and general health alike.
The heart, which is the engine Of you body,
does a wonderful piece Of work for you. It
pumps away, day and night, to make possible
al the things you wish to do.
Like any other machine, il must have its
rest periods. 1t, too, suffers from the wear and
tear of life. OF course it never does stop beat
ing but Nature has provided a time for it to
slow down and recruperate This it does during
sleep.
The heart is made up of muscles which
contract and expand in a rythmical beat Under
normal conditions, the heart rests one-tenth of
a second after each beat. This short rest permits
il to store up sufficient energy for its contrac-
ton period.

In the body, arising from chronic

Some mineral poisons have a way

When you walk. run or indulge in

shorter rest periods in consequence.
