Everyday Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Wandering Talk.
COME ONE has correctly said tha

COME ONE has correctly said that
- the greatest human weakness is
verbomania. This means nothing
other than the fact that we all talk
too much. Too much talk denotes a
flight of ideas. This is a real weak
ness.
A few of the worlds great men have
been able to overcome this weakness.
For example. the great Roman law
giver, Justinian, was really illiterate.
He kept quiet and received credits for
being wise man. Ar he really was.
If you suffer from verbomania, you
can detect the seriousness of your
case by making an experiment on
yourself. Carry out a program of in
terrupting your conversation with an
other and making a search for the
origin of the idea just expressed. Try
to discover, If you can, what point
there was to the idea, what mental
set, If any, was back Of it. The wind
bag" never knows much about the
origin of his ideas.
The most normal of persons will do
a lot of word wandering, unless he
acquires the habit of looking into his
own mind. Such word-wandering is
really nothing but audible day.
dreams. That's what children are
indulging in when they talk to them
selves. That's why some adults talk
to themselves. even on the crowded
streets of q city.

Little Benny
BY LEE PAPE.

Me AND ma was the ferst down to
A'A breakfast this morning, and ma
said, know what I'm going to do,
I'm going to make the coffee personly
with my own original hands this
morning. Your father complains every
morning that it's either too weak or
too strong or too something, so this
morning I'll be the coffee shelf, and
I'll make fiawlessly perfeck coffee with
scrupulous measurements and timing,
and I'll open a bran new can, SO then
if he complains, I'll know that all
his protesting has been nothing but
unfounded habit. He certainly hated
the thawt of getting up this morning,
you better 60 and see II he's out
of bed yet, Benny, she said.
Wich he was, being half ways in
his pants, and said, You better injoy

Thanks for the tip pardner, pop
said.
And when he come down for break
fast he put sugar and creem in his
coffee and started to stir it, saying,
What gaSsly brew did she tern out this
morning, wonder?
And he tasted it, saying, Why, this
is neckter, this Is ambrosia, this Is
MUIR and frankencense, this is mama
from heaven, this Is perfeck coffes In
other werds.
And he kept on drinking it and
rolling his eyes with loving expressions,
and after a while ma said, Well, I
was going to make the coffee myself
this morning, but Nora had 1t all
readily alreddy, and now 1t seems
it was just as well, If its werthy of
all that raving.
And she went back in the kitchin
to tawk to Nora about what to have
for supper, and pop said, Horse blanket
to blazes, as a matter of fact it's even
verse instead of better this morning,
and I've gone and lost a chance to
let off a little honest steem. That's
what comes of blabbing, confound it,
he said.

Answer-Here are few
exercises that will help to trim down
excess fat, or fabbiness about the
waist and abdomen. Trunk swaying:
Stand erect with feet pointing straight
forward and heels about three inches
apart. Raise arms above head and
clasp hands. Swing trunk over to the
left as far as you can without lifting
feet from floor or bending knees. Bend
from waist sideways, first to rlght
side and then to the left. Repeat
10 to 20 times. Then bend forward
and touch the floor with your hands
without bending the knees. Repeat
10 to 20 times. Next bend backward
as far as possible without straining.
Rise and repeat 10 to 20 times. Now
with arms at sides, jump lightly into
the air, stretching arms above head
and landing on toes with legs spread
apart, Take the exercises regularly
every night and morning.

Answer-You do not give the babys
age, but sometimes very young chill
dren's ears look too large for their
little faces. See that the baby sleeps
in the right position, and that he
does not lie with his ears bent for
ward. You might put little adhesive
tape on them at bedtime to hold
them closer to his head. But II
the ears are abnormally large I would
suggest that you consult a physician,
