THE BABY GNAWS ON WOOD Please tell me what can do, asks mother. have baby one year old and she chews paint all the time, on chairs, crib, window sills and anywhere she can reach. have tried everything to stop
 her from doing this, but nothing does any good. (Mrs. G. E. M.) A baby about the same age was brought into the hospital for treat ment for progressive, mysterious weakness which presented the pic- ture of marasmus or malnutrition. But investigation of the patients history showed r that he had been breast fed and had received ade- uuate vitanfin and iodin rations, to the best of our judgment. The blood examination gave a clue. Besides, the anen1ia (diminished number { of red corpuscles and diminished proportion of hemo- globin) stippling or a peculiar spotted appearance of the red cor puscles was noted. This is indica- tive of lead poisoning. The baby also presented some puzzling signs of encephalitis or inflammation of brain or, brain membranes, as do many of these victims of lead pois- oning. The diagnosis of lead pois- oning was confirmed at autopsy. Many babies are in the habit of gnawing on wood. If they. have only clean wood to gnaw it does no harm. But painted furniture or toys which a. baby may put to his mouth are a menace to the baby's health and life. White nursery paint and enamel are gen. orally lead, but bright colors used on chiidren's furniture and toys are always injurious.
 The. baby's crib, high chair, toys and even the nursery window sills, ought to be of unpaintcd wood. Such furniture comes cheaper in the first place. After the baby has outgrown his taste for wood, ashes, sand, garden soil, flower pots and wall plaster, then some one in the household can have lot Of fun painting up the furniture whatever bright or harmonious hue may seem 7 appropriate. Incidentally, housewives who like to paint should bear in mind that the harm full effects of turpentine, wood al- cohoi, gasoline, .benzol, anilin, ni- trobenzene and other poisons used in paints, enamels and lacquers, are comparatively harmless unless in- haled. So it is always wise to make sure of free ventilation when applying these finishes indoors.
 The fact that the diagnosis of chronic lead poisoning in the case mentioned was confirmed at autop- sy suggests what is true, that when lead poisoning goes on for a con- siderable time it is difficult to re- move the lead from the system. The character of the diet has much to do with the retention or excre-

 Day after day, all year long, l sternly point out your defects and try to browbeat you into doing something about them. But to-day fs different. With Thanksgiving npon us, want you, in true Thanksgiving spirit, to turn to your mirrors, forget whatever faults you have and literally count your assets.
 The woman who hasn't at least one really lovely physical charac- ] teristic simply doesn't exist. It may be her hair that is g!amor- Uus. Maybe her eyes. Perhaps sher mouth and chin.
 When you have told yourself what your best feature is, make up your mind to dramatize it. A flat nose isn't so dreadful if the coif- fure above it is truly beautiful. Even lines and wrinkles seem fair ly inconspicuous if eyes are large, ! clear and sparkling.
 Gone are the times when home fly women hadn't a chance to be at- 9Stractive. By all means be thank sNful for that. Nowadays, any smart girl can learn to play up her best Features, forgetting the ones that aren't so good and about which she can do nothing.
 know a woman who has per- fectIy gorgeous brown eyes and rather nice little ears. Her nose is fair, but her mouth and chin certainly keep her from ever being considered a beauty. When she was young, she worried about Them so much that she never took time to be thankful for her eyes and ears. Later, however, when the new school of beauty thought began to take hold, she made up her mind to dramatize her eyes, Show her ears and forget the chin and mouth
 She always wears mascara and that makes her eyes seem even larger. Every bit of makeup is carefully applied merely as d Frame for the eyes. As a result, you notice them first and, generally Speaking, they continue to hold Your attention. In addition, she wears her hair behind her ears.
 Remember this little story when you look at yourself on Thanks giving morning. Count your own blessings and be thankful that you, too, have at least one truly at tractive feature. You really have, you know.
 Please make the most of it.

What could be more timely for Thanksgiving than a tamle dec- oration with a big horn of plenty pouring its dinner favors out in a glittering pile, the candle holders and nut or bonbon bags made of the same shimmering stuff? Such a decoration is not too difficult to make and the result is fully worth the effort.
 To make the horn of plenty, cut a strip of yellow crepe paper 4 inches wide and wrap it around the foundation of the horn. This can be made at home with wire or may be purchased ready made. Then stretch piece of light yellow crepe paped feet long and 20 inches wide and fasten in four places so it will loosely cover the mouth, of the horn. Crush a piece of amber Ce1lophane about 2 yards long to cover the edge and line the inside of the horn. Place five loosely twisted pieces of crepe paper an equal distance apart, fastening them around the horn and making them little. wider toward the mouth. Then over the entire out side, paste a crushed gold sheet, and between the curves made by the rolls of crepe paper paste gold

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 No Change.

NO SIhHSCs
 I am AZ years old. When will the change of life start? What care should a woman give herself at that time? I drink three or four cups of coffee a day. Is that too much? (Mrs s. Al
 Answer-There is no change of life. Life goes on without a ruff fie, as long as you take care of your general health and follow the rules of hygiene regardless of sex or age. Only persons who are very active physically, at play or work, can take so much coffee profit ably. If you do all your housewor]s as a live woman should, three or four cups of coffee daily would be all right. Send stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for monograph or menopause, which fnstructs about care.

 My druggist said he has never heard of gylcerl nitrate which you for persons subject to angina of effort. He tried to find it, but the wholesale jobber knew nothing about it either . ]. CD. K.. L.)

There he will find Glycerl Nitrate, otherwise known as nitro- gylcerin, trinitrin, glonoin. l sug- gested that angina sufferers carry a via Iof tablets, each tablet con taining one two-hundreth of a grain of nitroglycerin, and take a tablet, letting it dissolve in the mouth, as many times daily as needed to relieve or prevent dis- tress.

The weathernan in the movie the other night showed chart covered with, whirlgigs that were supposed to assure us the winter ahead will be what is known as a "pippin."
 Those who were not in coma last winter. get ague every time they think of it.
 They say that cold weather Is good for crops and people,
 Let it go. We can have our res ervations; and I have mine. l don't think too much cold weather is good for any one--at the wrong time.
 One of these wrong times, I am convinced, is night.
 No-not the way people en- erally think. There isn't any diff ference between fresh air - as air between snight and day. But night offers problems. II is just as we'll to look ahead, and if what our friend prognosticator says is true, we'll certainly need
 Strange Ideas About Air What do the general run of peo- pie do about air? They shut themselves up in houses and buildings all day and the. devil may take, the fresh air--and does. If someone opens a door for a second, hysterical voices from within shout at once for him to close it. Windows stay down, and weatherstripping does the rest.
 The house can smell of cab- bage or cauliflower, fried fish or onions, or get stale with carbonic gas, and everything's just dandy.
 But at fight up go the windows. Oh, yes, plenty of air for every body. We must all get our lungs full of nice fresh air to make us good and strong and healthy. The stoves are out, and the furnace banked. The house in an hour Is as cold as the front steps. The children snuggle under heavy GOV. ers-perhapsr~and the fiinty air, playing modernistic tune in cur rents and trills-up walls, under doors, around bare heads-has party. 5t t {
 And so what? @& .sa1t
 In the first place, houses should be flushed twice 8 day and the air changed entirely. Cold for a few minutes, yes, but it will get warm again. f'r '' ''-' TT. Y '-. :.
 Second, people can get air at night just as we'll by pulling the upper forgotten sash down as by raising the lower one.
 And last-here quote good doctor. There is too much fool- hardness about wide open win dows in winter, especially when there are children. They need fresh air, yes, but when cold air becomes an enemy through care less management, what is the use It defeats it's own purpose and bad colds result"
 Children's beds need to be placed away from direct currents and are better away from "outside" walls There should be no open space be- tween head and wall. Night tenn perature in bedrooms should not get below 40 or 45 degrees at any time.
 A fly screen makes good frame on which to tack muslin. Sheets can be hung over the heads of open beds. Night caps are a splen- did idea. We have to use wits to defeat winter at his worst.

Later perhaps, 1t will be safe to change to a low calcium diet which in-

 In most cases of chronic lead poisoning among adults the lead is inhaled in the form of dust. Paint CTS seldom suffer lead poisoning unless they are exposed to dust of scraping or sandpapering old painted surfaces.

Presented by INSTITUTE OF CHARACTER ANALYSIS

make the change, then if 1t failed to materialize as you expected, go back to the old work. Maybe you could do that-but I doubt it. Do be careful.
 Q.-Do you think she will eyei send for me and make up?
 A.-You miss your friend and her companionship very badly but still you sit and wait impa' tientIy for her to make the firs1 effort to peace. Go to this friend don't wait for her. She is waiting for you-and there you both are eating your hearts out, waiting for one another. You make the first move, that shows strength. not weakness. It is easy to be proud. naughty and unbending. But to be the first to forgive and the first to apologize takes neness. The requisites of a gentle-woman are ease, kindness, lovable forgiving nature not above self sacrifice, and noble humility. After you both straighten out this misunderstand- ing. you will wonder how in the world, either of you could have UGeU 5O II uC ~AA V rare and scarce. The work you wrote about, takes quite a bit of influence today. If you have some one to speak for you no doubt it would prove beneficial.
 Q.-What Is in store for me in the future?
 A.-You have a fine sense of hu- CI, of friends. You have plenty of con- centrated energy, bit conductive though. If you act on impulse you are full of courage, but if given too much time to think, become timid and cautious. Thrift and economy are two strong tendencies that nat urally result in a comfortable posi- tion in life. You look for positions offering expansion, and concentrate on growth and success. You are nervous and tempered, and inclined to be little too hard on your friends and acquaintances, making small allowance for their weak points. Learn to be consider ate of others, and little more gentle in speech-then under ordi- nary circumstances you should be due for an even happy life, and an interesting future.

Q. Will I be successful in my recent undertaking?
 A.-Those of your sign as a rule do mot act on impulse, nor are they very demonstrative. Your type at- tract without effort. Your success is usually won through ability to work with plan, method, and sys- tenn. Capricorn people do not show their real worth until definite re- sponsibility is put on their shoul- ders. They then put great enthu- siam into what they do, and the result is usually continued success. Do not try to keep pace with those of great financial standing, pride and vanity can be detriment - also super-sensitivenes 1t would be advisable to worry less of pub lie opinion. Do not lack confidence, avoid going into extremes, strike happy medium. With complete study and understanding of your self you should be successful in your undertakings.
 Q.-WiIl I make a change?
 A.-You can if you will adapt yourself to any line or place. You have persuasive ability and self hEVULIOI. put III SpltC OL thtS yoN have an inborn restlessness hard 10 conquer. You long for just what you haven't. Sometimes overlook ing the fact there are many advan- fages all about you. You delight being amongst great number Of people, and I will have to admit, vour best efforts would come from the inspiration of throngs. In club and aOcial work ypll could stand at the lead. Do not make change until you are thoroughly convinced you are doing the best. Disappoint- ments could cause much dis heartedness. On the other hand, were you fairly sure of the safety of the move a change would rouse m you an ambition and faith in yourself, no wlying dormant.
 O.-PIease advise if should change my position? I have sOmc- thing else in mind, but afraid to venture.
 A.-Just at present I would ad- wise leaving well enough alone. If you leave a position for a far bet ter one, and it's stability Is assured, naturally you should change. But if there is the least doubt I would never give up safe job for a doubtful one. There are too many waiting for chance. and if the new work did not prove satisfac- tory, you might find yourself without employment at all.
