Reducing Double Chin.

Dear Miss Leeds: % How can a
double chin be reduced? I am 16 years
old, feet inches tall and weigh 115
pounds. CD My flngernails grow so
slowly. How can make them grow
faster? JUDITH.
Answer.-(l) Since you are seven
pounds below the average weight for
your age and height, the double chin
must be due to poor posture rather than
to stUntnees. There. 10 really no cure
for 1t other than learning to hold your
head erect. Don't let your head sag
forward. Keep your chin level and
slightly drawn In. When reading,
studying or sewing hold your worg up;
don't bend over 1t. Exercises are also
helpful in keeping the flesh under the
chin from becoming fiabby. Throw
your head back, close the lips tightly
and then work your jaws as though
chewing hard. For another exercise
hold your head erect, then thrust your
chin forward and upward. Return to
starting position and then repeat the
movement to each side and obliquely
forward. You will feel the pull on the
throat muscles.
(2) The slowness with which your
nails grow may be due to your failure
to eat enough OF the right foods. Try
to build up your weight. Drinking a
quart Of milk daily Will help. There
Is no external application for the nails
that will make them grow.

| HIS writer is probably a well
educated careful person. The
letter forms indicate one who
l. enjoys life and learns all she
can from 1t.
The large lower loops are an indica-
tion of practical type. Sne pronaoly
has her life clearly planned and knows
exactly what she wishes to do Seem
ingly she is resourceful, being able to
act wisely in emergencies. She would
apparently not wait for some one else
to direct her, but would use her own
initiative.
This ability to use her own judgment
and make her own decisions will be Of
advantage to her in any line of en-
to judge others correctly. If so, she
would be valuable in some type of per-
sonnel work.
The tied "f" and tightly closed "a"
suggest thriftiness. She would not be
stingy, but apparently would waste
neither time nor money. She would
plan to use both to the utmost\ This
would enable her to utilize every mo-
ment and, with her clear thinking,
make something of it.
It might be well for her to guard
against an ifhpatience with others who
do not have her ambitions, coupled with
the ability to carry them through. The
angular letter forms suggest tendency
to criticize. She should realize that the
dreamer type is as necessary to the
world as her own more practical nature.
Vigorous exercise. such as tennis or
swimming, might prove enjoyable to
her, affording an outlet for her ener-
gics. Direction of athletic activities in
schools or Fairgrounds might combine
an interesting work with pleasure.

Farmer Browns Boy got back there
again there was no longer lot Of
green grass and other plants spread
out on the rocks to dry.
II wonder what they have done with

against a big rock. It wouldn't have

as the first raindrops came pattering
down. The shower lasted about half

didn't have to wait long. A funny little

then another. They were repeated and
In them was a worried, anxious note.

Presently Little Chief appeared and
after him Mrs. Little Chielf They
looked more anxiously at Farmer
Browns Boy than at their pile of hay.
What do you suppose that giant Is
doing here?" asked Little Chief.
II don't know, but If he don't 60
away our hay will spoil and all our
hard work will go for nothing" replied
Mrs. Little Chief.
HE doesn't move" said Little Chief.
"As you say, my dear, that hay must
be attended to. Perhaps he means no
harm"
For some time they watched Farmer
Browns Boy, and not once did he move.
Little Chief yentured a few steps
nearer. Nothing happened. He went
little nearer and then hastily ran
back. A third time he tried it and this
time he held his ground Then Mrs.
Little Chief got up courage enough to
join him. Finally they reached the
haystack, and at once they seemed to
forget the giant was so near. That
hay was wet, and it needed to be spread
and dried at once. There was no doubt
about it.
So they went to work pulling that
stack apart and spreading the wet hay
on the rocks in tl1e sun. They knew it
would take only little while for it to
dry and they worked fast. This was
their Winter food and they couldn't af-
ford to take any chances with It,
Every now and then they glanced at
Farmer Browns Boy, and as he didn't
move they gained confidence. Not until
they had the hay all spread did
Farmer Browns Boy move, and then
very slowly and carefully.
But the Pikas saw 1t and vanished.
However, 1t was only moment before
they were peeking at him from among
the rocks, and presently were back in
specting their work. So by patience
and care Farmer Browns Boy won
their trust. They made up their minds
that this was good giant and forgot
to be afraid. They even ventured close
to him. Such Is faith.
