Everyday Psychology
Mental Tension.
BY DR.. JESSE w. sPRowLs.

There is no doubt that the human
mind is composed of units or parts.
For example, as you read this paper,
you are obtaining certain definite i'm
pressions. These impressions are
called ideas They are Immediately
associated with other ideas you have.
If you are able to organize these pres
ent mental units in such a way as to
harmonic with your other mental
units, your mental life goes on with
a feeling of satisfaction.
Suppose, however, that the ideas
you now run into seem to be out
of harmony with your earlier ideas on
the same subject. A feeling of dis
harmony is aroused. You may call
this feeling mental tension. In this
state of tension a mental reorganiza-
ton is likely to take place. At least
you are likely to do some rejecting
or thinking.
1t is held by some that these states
of mental tension make you what
you are. In the course OF time they
change your personality, your attitude,
your outlook on the world, or perhaps
your insight. In your attempts to re-
duce all these tensions you are con-
tinually being made over. The more
you read and ponder, the richer and
more varied becomes your stock OF
reactions to new ideas.
Some observers call this the essence
Of character. They even go so far as to
say that the process leaves traces on
the face and so modifles your general
appearance.

NANCY PAGE
By FLORENCE LA GANKE.

LAIRE came in and pouted
around until Mrs. Lacey lost
all patience. What on
~ earth is the matter with you,
Claire? You look like a
thundercloud Don't tell me you lost
at bridge and let it affect you this
way. People don't play games to
win them, primarily. They play them
for the pleasure they get Shame
on you for acting like such a poor
sport"
Claire looked at her loftily, IF you'll
wait minute, mother, you'll see
what the trouble is. I did lose, but
I was so ashamed of my hands, that's
why. They are chapped and red
and look like a scrub Woman's. The
girls all made fun of them and that's
why I couldn't think about the game.
Why do I have to have such chapped
hands? Other girls don't
Perhaps other girls take better
care of their hands. You need to
wipe them carefully and thoroughly
after each washing. You need to pat
lotion. And I think you need to look
10 lIle IullIlR VI your SIOFtS. 4llC
chances are that this is dirty and is
helping to infect your hands"
Mrs Lacey made up three bottles
of lotion, one for the bath room, one
for the first floor and one for the
kitchen. She said there was no eX-
cuse for hands chapping. She used
this formula for the lotion: Soak one
ounce ounce seed in four ounces hot
water. Measure II ounces witch
hazel and dissolve l ounce boric acid
in this. Add ounces of glycerine.
Add this to the luke-warm water and
ounce seeds. Next day strain the
liquid and add to it about one-half
teaspoonful extract rose geranium
and one teaspoonful oil Of lavender.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.
Premature White Streaks.

n EAR MISS LEEDS am
mother of a 12-year -old girl.
A few years ago few locks
- of white hair began appear
ing on the back of her head.
I took them out, but now the white
hairs have spread until there are
about 40 or so. The hairs are not
on the outer surface of her hair, but
underneath in the back part. What
do you think is the cause for this
very premature coming OF white hair,
and how can I check it?
A WAITING MOTHER.
Answer: It would be necessary to
examine the child and know some
thing of her history in order to make
a guess as to the cause of the trouble.
The first thing I suggest is that you
take her to doctor for a thorough
physical examination, as poor health
sometimes causes premature graying
Her scalp at the back should be eX-
amined to see if there is a scalp dis
ease attacking that part. Another
possible cause is heredity. I should
be glad to mail you a copy of my
free leaflet on Systematic Care Of
the Hair" that describes correct local
care; please send request for it &C
companied by a stamped, self-ad-
dressed envelope. LOIS LEEDS.
Heavy Thighs.
Dear Miss Leeds-Please help me
out quickly, as am getting very dis
couraged with myself. I am a mar
ried woman, 80 years old, feet 5
inches tall and weighing 143 pounds
MY measurements are: Bust. 49,;
waist, 26; below the hips, 40; thigh,
%. The flesh bulges out on my thighs
at the sides. My legs and arms are
also large. How can I lose a few
inches from the fat parts? I don't
seem to have much time for exercise,
besides housework and walking with
the children. I have not gained any
ago, but the flesh seems to have left
the upper part of my figure and set
tied below my waist. I have pretty
dress I would like to wear on a GER
tain occasion, but it shows up my
bulgeS too much.
DISCOURAGED GLORIA LOUISE.
Answer: You are about 10 pounds
overweight for age and height, so
your first problem is to reduce. My
free leafet, safe and Sane Reduc-
ing" will help you do so without max
ing yourself weak or flabby. A copy
of this leaflet will be mailed to you if
you send a request for it, together
with a stamped, self-addressed en-
velope. You should try to develop
your bust, as it is too small for age
and height; for this purpose you
should cultivate the habit of deep
breathing and correct posture. Spend
10 minutes a day doing arm-hinging
exercises and rotation of arms at
the shoulders One of the best exer-
cises for the bulging flesh on your
thighs is a rolling movement. Lie on
your back on the floor with arms
stretched out at shoulder level and
legs straight. Keeping your trunk
fiat on the floor, raise your right leg,
knee straight, and swing it over the
left leg as far as you can. Try to
touch your left hand with your right
toe. The movement is all below the
waist. Now swing the right leg back
to starting position and then swing
left leg over the right. Continue
swinging legs alternately 10 to 20
times.

mixture stand for two days, shaking it
now and then. Paint it on with a
small paint brush. The varnish will
wash off with hot water or alcohol
The nail-biter should take special
care with her manicure. Ragged
cuticle around the nails and rough
edges on them stimulate q desire to
gnaw at the offending parts, so
that it is very important to keep
nails and skin very smooth. Dry
ness, brittleness and hard corners
should be treated with warm oil daily
to soften the cuticle and tougher the
nails themselves At bedtime an oily
cream should be rubbed in and glove
fingers worn during the night to keep
it on. Adhesive tape may be used to
keep the glove fingers on until
morning.
Before the manicure, lather the
fingertips with hot water and pure
mild soap, then soak them in warm
soapy water for 5 minutes. Rinse
and dry. Now wrap little absorbent
cotton on the pointed end Of an
orange wood stick and with 1t gently
loosen and push down the cuticle
around each nail. Dip the stick IN
cuticle cream from time to time as
you work. If there is old nail var
nish on the nails, remove it all care
fully with the lotion provided for
the purpose or else with some Of the
varnish itself. Wipe the hands and
then file the nails with long steel
nail file, making strokes from each
end toward the center. Clean under
the nails and tnen smooth the free
edges with an emery board. Wash
the hands again and dry thoroughly.
Now use polish in powder, paste or
liquid form. Do not use vivid shade
of nail varnish as it will make the
nails conspicuous. which, of course, Is
undesirable until the hands are IN
better shape.

Abusing Your Nails

THERE aren't many girls who de-
liberately ruin their good
looks once they know how to
L preserve them, but the nail
biterS seem to belong to that
small class. They realize fully that
they are spelling the appearance of
their hands and are ashamed Of the
fact, yet they go right on gnawing
and tearing at their fngernails.
Nail-biting is nervous habit
which may arise from any number OF
causes. This is one reason why 1t is
so hard to combat. Too many social
engagements after school or business
hours, too much worry, an inferlorlty
complex, inadequate diet, loneliness,
responsibilities beyond ones ability,
or anything that makes one feel rest
less and dissatisfied may predspoSe
toward this unlovely habit.
Sometimes an improvement in gen.
eral health plus determined effort
to check the habit will effect cure.
More outdoor life, more work for the
hands, a new, absorbing hobby to-
gether with development of real pride
in the appearance Of the nails will
help.
The old-fashioned remedy for nail
biting called for the use of some bit
ter substance on the fingertips. Tine
ture of bitter aloes was often used
for this purpose, or a solution made
by soaking one-quarter Of an ounce
of quassia chips in cup OF water.
The bad-tasting lotion is painted on
after the hands are washed and is
then allowed to dry without wiping.
Another type of remedy is spe-
cial nail varnish. This may be made
of one and one-quarter ounces of
each of the following substances: AL
cofol. chinoidin and gum mastic. To
this should be added one and one
eighth ounces Of gum myrrh. Let the

l. good condition, should form a
regular part of the daily diet
L for the sake of beauty as well
as health. The great majority
of fruits contain scarcely any nourish-
ing substance aside from sugar. but
they are rich in salts and acids. These
undergo changes in the course OF
digestion, so that, on reaching the
blood, they form valuable means OF
keeping it alkaline. In some unex-
planned way, fruit has what may be
called a purifying effect on the blood
and tissues. 1t prevents dryneSS and
scurvy of the skin and helps to keep
it in a healthy condition. The fibrous
parts and skins of fruit also aid in
preventing constipation.
For children fruit is particularly
wholesome, and, as shown by their
article in their diet. The best varie-
ties for children are ripe apples,
oranges, grapefruit, grapes and ba-
nanas. Young women in particular
derive great benefit from eating an
abundance of raw fruit. People who
have passed middle age should eat
fruit only in moderation, as a rule,
and for them it is usually better
cooked than raw, unless it be oranges,
grapefruit, grapes, soft, juicy apples
and pears.
There are times, of course, when
fruit is not advisable in the diet.
A person suffering from an irritable,
inflamed condition of the stomach
and intestines would probably find his
distress increased by eating raw fruit.
There are individuals, too, who suf-
fer from certain dietetic idiosyn-
crasies, so that they are made i'll by
eating Strawberries, raspberries or
10 smnId So uons slInIJ psussV- u5nol
peaches, while others suffer great pain
in the stomach after eating bananas
The best time to eat fruit is about
two or three hours after a meal.
Immediately after q meal it often
interferes with the digestion. A little
dried fruit at this time, however, fire.
quently prevents further craving. The
advantage before breakfast, but in
some people it upsets the stomach
when taken after fasting.
Fruit should be eaten only when
fully ripe, but not when it is Begin
ming to decompose. In large cities
fruit is often sold in very unripe
condition. It is then indigestible and
lacks the sugar which forms its chief
nutritive matter. With some excep-
tionS, fruits contain from 80 to 30
per cent of water. Their solid con-
tents consist Of sugar, salts of lime,
magnesia and potash and cellulose
with some gelatinous matter which
causes some of them to become more
or less solid when cooked.
The nutritive qualities of a fruit
depend chiefly on its content of sugar.
Some contain a very large amount,
and are, therefore, really nourishing.
Dates and figs, prunes and raisins,
for instance, contain about three
fourths of their weight in sugar, and
also from 2 to 4 per cent Of protein.
Bananas contain more than 20 per
cent of sugar, grapes and plums about
IS, apples and apricots about 10 to
IL per cent These are averages.
Watery fruits, such as melons,
lines, oranges, grapefruit, pears and
apples. are wholesome thirst-quench-

shade. As a general rule, however,
printed dresses either have no trim
ming at all, or depend upon the use
of plain materials to accent their
charm.
Floral prints are perhaps the most
colorful of the figured materials. Ma
lures brush is dipped in such brilliant
hues that there is no need for the
fabric artist to do more than combine
the floral motifs effectively. But there
is a wide variance in the patterns.
Huge tropical blossoms trail brilliantly
over some of the new silks. Tiny
bouquets of flowers that might have
been culIed in a Victorian garden
are widely scattered over others. Some
of the colors look as though they
quivered in strong sunlight-others
are vague and misty as if glimpsed
by moonlight Wallpaper prints are
effective and quaint with their con:bi-
nation of conventional motifs and
flowers.

designers like to play with polka
dots as much as women like to wear
them, for the shops are full Of polka
dotted dresses and fabrics. Big polka
dots. and little ones, or both together.
Light polka dots on dark grounds
pink or beige or blue on navy or black.
And dark dots on lighter grounds or
on white. Here and there brilliant
confetti print-every color of the
spectrum in its tiny irregular dots
catches the eye.
And in addition to these two main
types there are all sorts of conven-
tional patterns-triangles stripes,
plaids, checks and geometric figures
of many kinds in wide variety of
colors and fabrics.

GEVERAL seasons ago there was a
- vogue for using matching prints
in different colorS in the same cos
tune. A dress, for instance. of beige
crepe figured in navy blue, was worn
with a jacket of navy blue crepe pat
termed in beige. This season we find
another interesting way of using
prints. Two different fabrics, print
ed identically, are combined in the
same dress, life polka dotted eve
