Poor Pastures.

It IS well not to talk too often about
posture. for any discussion of it is apt
to be misunderstood. A poor posture,
dropping shoulders, a prominent stom-
ach and a caved-in chest are to be de-
plored, but in practically every case the
poor posture is simply an indication
and not itself a matter for any partic-
ular distress or treatment.
The constant plea to stand up
straight" which fails on children's deaf
ears is futile plan. Spare the pleas
and spend time searching for the cause
OF the poor posture. When that is dis
covered and corrected, the child will
stand up straight in the manner nat
ural to all we'll and healthy children.
We are inclined to nag at the poor
skeleton of youngSter to pull in his
tummy and throw back his shoulders.
Instead, we should direct our efforts to
putting fat on his bones and giving
his undernourished muscles the proper
strength and pull to hold his body in
a good position. Children whose shoul-
Gers stick out like wings and whose
abdomens protrude like round drums
do not need corrective exercises, nor do
they need shoulder braces. They need
nouriShment, and plenty of it.
We may think we want our children
walking around like soldiers on parade.
However, such a posture it not a nat
ural but an artificial one. A healthy
child would need to make a constant
effort to stand up like a ramrod during
his busy, active day. If he is healthy,
his posture will be as changeable as his
moods. He'll bend and lop over and
stand crooked and sag, not permanently
or unhealthily, but as postures in keep
ing with active play.
Any physical ailment is apt to ad-
vertise itself in the child's posture. The
strain that comes from defective eye
sight or defective hearing would inev-
itably lead to a drawing forward to get
nearer the object to be seen or heard
and there would be a natural slumping

new DISCOVERIES
CONFIRM VIRTUES
OF BRAN in DIET
Supplies Bulk" and Vitamin
B for Constipation; Also
Iron for Blood

For ten years, now, millions have
/ found Kellogg's ALL-BRAN a safe,
1 pleasant way to overcome common
constipation-with the headaches,
loss of appetite and energy that SO
often result from this condition.
Recent laboratory tests show that
ALL-BRAN supplies bulk" to eX-
ercise the intestines, and Vitamin
B to help tone the intestinal tract.
In addition, ALL-BRAN contains
twice as much blood-building iron,
bv weight, as beef liver.
This bulk" in ALL-BRAN is much
like the bulk" in lettuce Inside
the body, it absorbs moisture and
forms a soft mass, which gently
clears the intestines of wastes.
Special cooking processes make
ALL-BRAN finer, softer, more pal
atable. 1t is not habit-forming.
Think how much better it is to
enjoy this delicious cereal than to
take endless pills and drugs, which
often lead to harmful habits.
Two tablespoonfuls daily-in
serious cases with every meal-are
usually sufficient. If your intestinal
trouble is not relieved this way, see
your doctor.
Serve ALL-BRAN as a cereal with
| milk or cream, or use in cooking.

After the refreshments are served the
gayly bedecked pail should be brought

Handwriting
What 1t May Reveal.
BY MILDRED MoCKABEE.

-HE writer of the letter from which
this sample was selected was
careful to state that she is left
handed. There is a general i'm
preston that this fact is OF
great importance, but on the contrary
Il carries little weight. Individual let
ter formations and general appearances
are worthy Of far greater notice.
The tall letters here are Of irregular
height and width, suggesting one whose
life is not evenly balanced. She may
perhaps have too much work with TOO
little play, or vice versa. She should
strive to adjust this situation so that
she will have sufficient time to COM
pIete necessary or desirable work, yet
reserving some hours for pleasant rec
reation.
Apparently she would be an excellent
cook, delighting in performing house
wifely duties efficiently. She seems
good -natured, so we should expect her
house to be a place where we should
find Joy and laughter. 1t Is possible
that she has the power to dismiss her
worries and troubles, taking full Joy in
the present. She perhaps enjoys having
large groups Of people around her, be-
ing stimulated by the hustle and excite
ment.
More than anything love for chill
dren would appear to dominate her life.
Very small children, in particular, might
appeal to her most. She would SEEM
ingly find pleasure in caring for them
and anticipating their wants. II she
desires to have some money-making
occupation while remaining at home,
she might conduct nursery school for
youngsters. Understanding and SYM
pathizing with them as she does, it
would be easy for her to train and
amuse them. Mothers could be sure of
the very best Of care when leaving their
children with her.

~ EAR MISS LEEDS-Q I have

rid Of lot of pimples on my

Answer-Q) One must be careful in
using of cosmetics or dyes for the
lashes to avoid getting any into the
eyes themselves. When mascara is used
little olive oil or cold cream should
be applied first to prevent the little
hairs from becoming brittle. At bed
time the color must be thoroughly re-
moved with oil or cream before the
face is washed. Stains FOR darkcning
the eyelashes and eyebrows are pro-
durable through any beauty salon.

avoiding constipation and cleansing
your skin thoroughly at bedtime you
can do much to clear your complexion

President. He would have had a spe-

ship nor other honors would have given
him.
Secretary Stimson perhaps would
have been named in the first place had
1t not been that both he and the Presi-
dent thought it better for him to re-
main at home and attend to pressing
affairs.
Disarmament, and the Geneva Con-
ference in particular, lies very close to
Stimson's heart. He has been tireleSs
in his efforts to make the conference
a success.
That. was the reason he made a trip
TO Europe last Summer. He was anX-
ious to sound out the various European
statesmen on the question of disarma-
ment and lay the groundwork for the
Geneva Conference.
He didn't have much opportunity,
however. President Hoover'S mora

hustle to Paris and aid in the negotia-

for it. 90 Do you think it harmful for

FRANKIE.
AnsWer-O Since you are about 10
pounds below the average weight for
your age and height, my first SuggeS-
tion is that you build yourself up. All
sorts of beauty problems grow out of
underweight and the low degree of
physical fitness that it causes. Excessive
activity of the oil glands in the skin
is often troublesome during the teens,
but it will be outgrOWn in q few years.
In the meantime it is important to keep
oneself as healthy as possible by right
diet, daily exercise and sufficient rest.
Shampoo your hair once a week. Lather
and rinse it four separate times before
the final rinse. Avoid heat in drying
your hair. Here is a recipe for an as
tringent scalp tonic that you may apply
to your scalp three times week: One
half dram salicylic acid two drams
tincture OF cantharideS, one-half dram
tincture OF capsicum, one ounce alco-
hol, four ounces bay rum. Divide your
hair into small strands and apply the
tonic with medicine dropper, using
just enough to moisten the scalp all
over.
(2) You are too young to begin using
rouge. At your age the skin is delicate
and the repeated use Of rouge and pow
der will coarsen its texture. The black
heads are probably due to your using
powder and letting it clog the pores. Be
careful to wash your face at bedtime
with plenty of soap and water and
rinse well. When all the soap has
been washed off battle your face in cold
water to cleanse the pores. Dry we'll
