Necks are tattlers! They tell your age. if you don't keep 1t from them. You can alibi about the lines around your mouth and eyes but there is no alibi for wrinkled, unlovely neck. It is due to one of two things; neglect or age.
 Evan if you never use soap on your face, use it on your neck, as the tissues are not as delicate as those of your face and the skin Is not nearly so apt to chap and be- come rough. However, use your cleansing creams or lotions either before or after you use soap and water. Most women make the mistake of creaming and thor oughly cleaning their faces and entirely neglecting their throats.
 Pat an astringent on your neck at least twice day. and, if you use a powder base on your face. put 1t also on your throat. Use your face powder and apply it just as meticulously as you do to your face. Nothing is more unattrac- tive than a contrast between the shade of your throat and that of your face, so don't use flesh or rachel face powder and white bath or talcum powder on your neck.
 If you have wrinkles and lines starting, or if the skin on your neck seems wee bit fiabby, there are some exercises that will do much to correct the fault. If you begin doing them before you de- tect any flaws, of course your neck will retain its naturally col umnar firmness of youth much longer.
 Try these exercises if you have neck worries:
 1. Stand erect. drop your head backward on count one until il rests on the back. Count two. raise your head slowly and let it fall forward on your chest. Repeal twenty times and remember that you should tense the muscles ir your neck while you are doing i so that they have to work hart
 to force your head back and forth /, 2. Another exercise for mak
 ing the muscles flexible and ths | flesh firm may be done either sit. ting or standing. Bend your head as far to the right as possible or count one, and, on count two bend 1t to the left. Keep in mind that your ear should touch your shoulder.
 You can't expect results from doing an exercise once a week, but if you do 1t every day and mas sage your throat with your creams every night. you'll notice the diff ference within a comparatively short lergth of time.

YOUR CHILDREN.
gNiWkobev7S6anaY NOi05l BY MA SERVICE INC {

We blame little children for be- haviOr when we ourselves have conditioned" them to it. Condi- tioning means in simple terms per- mission either by silence consent or suggestion that leads a child to expect 1t always for the same thing.
 At the table he pounds with his spoon. He does it for several days and we say nothing. At the end of a week we scold him for 1t when we ourselves have conditioned him to the habit.
 He goes to bed and fusses. He wants water, he wants to get ups and go to the bathroom, he's too hot, or too cold, or sick. We fly up to him for several nights, al- lowing him to pull the wool over our eyes, knowing very we'll that he is taking advantage; then sud- denly we admit it is all a fake. We scold and storm and threaten and spank-not for one night but for months. We conditioner him to expect attention over a long period of time so it is going to take time to break him of something we were responsible for ourselves.
 In hundred ways we do this every day. Little children, of course, are much more susceptible than older ones. Older children recognize a privilege as temporary and their judgment restraints abuse of it. They are not so likely to take advantage as little likely to take advantage as little people or get set to expect dispensations.
 A Strange Preference
 Year-old Charles wants the glass of water at Mothers plate. He won't drink his own for some freakish reason known only to himself. So at each meal he cries for her glass, and gets it to keep peace. z
 Ask any older mother who used to hold the baby on her knee at the table-before high-chairs be- came popular-and feed him tid- bits off her own plate. She will tell you that all the kings horses and men couldn't get him to eat anywhere in the house except on that knee and off that plate. Chil- dren used to have to be "weaned" from the knee to chair, just as they had to be from the breast to bottle.
 But conditions work to advan-. tage as well.
 If child is to sleep in the dark, he must be conditioned to it early. If he is to become accustomed to regular habits of sleeping and eat ing, there it Is again. If he is to learn small tasks. 1t is the same. But everything of the kind should be done early so that contentment and acceptance follow.
 People who hate regularity were never conditioned to it. Those who dislike work of any sort lacked the. training principle of it when they were young. We were "condition- ed" rightly or wrongly to almost everything we do and every way we feel.

The man at Sues left, at the Dexter dinner party was smiling, Sue observed. He looked friendly. He must have been about 40, she decided. His hair was silvered at the temples. His eyes were the kind that crinkled at the corners when he laughed. She hadn't paid much attention to him.
 She liked him now. He looked human. understanding. Did you ever read Aesop's Fables?" he was asking her, while the candlelight sparkled on the crystal and goldware.
 "Ever so long ago. I just re- member that there was a tortoise that beat a hare because the hare slept and the tortoise didn't"
 The man laughed. "And there was also a giraffe that invited a hare to dinner, wasn't there, and then put the food in a long-necked bottle 50 he couldn't reach 1t?

Oxygen Apparatus Is Valuable
In Treating Pneumonia Cases
Patients Breathe More Easily After Taking Oxygen

which it may be supplied to those
who need it. AS an outgrowth OF this
need there has been developed an
oxygen tent which is placed over the
patient as he lies in bed. The gas is
supplied to the tent from an oxygen
tank connected with a motor and
with suitable devices for cooling.
In pneumonia consolidation Of the
: lungs takes place and the air spaces
are filled with purulent material.
Therefore, it is difficult for the per-
son to get enough oxygen. Thousands
of cases of pneumonia have now been
treated by this method, and the re-
suits are sufficiently favorable to
warrant its consideration in every
difficult case. Because the most Sc
rious cases have been selected for
this type of treatment, it is at pres
ent difficult to evaluate it exactly.
There are, Of course, other types Of
cases in which lack Of oxygen in the
blood is conspicuous such as, for ex-
ample, collapse of the lungs after op-
Grafton, severe cases of asphyxiation,
heart failure, and other disturbances
of the heart.
Today many Of the leading hospi-
tails of the country have installed
oxygen chambers, rooms especially
fitted for supplying oxygen to the pa
tient while lying in bed, the entire
bed wheeled into the oxygen room.

The use of oxygen in the treatment
of disease began about 1917, when
the famous British physiologist. Hal
dane, devised a face mask which was
successfully used in treating cases OF
disturbance of the lung due to war
gas poisoning.
The harmfulness of lack Of oxy-
gen has been demonstrated by the
symptoms of mountain sickness. in
which the air Is low in oxygen con-
tent. When there is lack of oxygen
the person becomes blue because
there is not a sufficient amount Of
oxygen circulating in the blood. The
pulse becomes rapid. There are dis
turbances in the breathing, nausea
and vomiting, slight fever, fatigue,
delirium and finally collapse.
It is found by examining the blood
Of patients with pneumonia that it
contains at times a very low amount
of oxygen. If oxygen is given to a
patient with pneumonia, the amount
Of oxygen in the blood is raised great
ly and the patients thereby breathe
more easily and have better oppor-
tunity to recover.
The use of oxygen has been de-
layed by the necessity for the devel-
opment of special apparatus with
