CROOKED TEETH

It is surprising how a disfigire- ment of the face will cause such o marked mental reaction in Q child. Frequently girl having irregular teeth that mar her appearance will say nothing about 1t to her parents but will suffer in silence. She will avoid the company of other chil. dren. Missing the healthful play, she will become an unhappy child. As psychiatrists are warning us to be on the lookout for children who are unhappy, it behooves par cnts to watch their children for this particular trait. A parent, although observing the irregularity of teeth, will not appreciate the damaging effect that such teeth may have or, the personality of the child. Con- sequently the services of an ortho- dontist Co dentist who straightenE teeth) is not obtained. Only the skilled specialist should be consult ed.
 I, have heard parents complain against the expense of straightenine teeth. Actually, when one considers the difficulty connected with the work, the duration of the treat- ments, the cost is exceedingly small
 Irregular teeth should not be neglected. because the future health of the child's mouth may be af- fected. fine advice of an orthodon. tist should be obtained before the child becomes too old, and treat- ment should be instituted if found necessary.

How many times have you heard the expression "a born salesman? There is really nothing mysterious about the talent of salesmanship. It is a combination of psychology and personality and it's most important instrument is the voice.
 We are all, as women, more or less interested in clothes, so let us use as an il- lustration the saleswoman showing a line of dresses to a customer who is difficult to please.
 Suppose the saleswoman finally says, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Jones, that you don't like any of these models. Possibly I have something else. Yes there's a gown that just came in and it's your size. Will you wait 8 mo- ment ?"
 Interpreting Words
 There are several impress sions that can be conveyed by these phrases depending upon the infection of the voice.
 If the saleswoman says the words in a tone of weary in- difference, Mrs. Jones thinks, "Oh, she isn't interested .. it isn't worth while to wait" :"
 Or the infection may be sarcastic if the saleswoman has been sorely tried. But Mrs. Jones forgets her own shortcomings and feels that

the salesperson believes her to be 8 fool who ought to have liked the models, and shows bad taste by not doing so. Not only does the customer not wait, but she probably will never come in the store again.
 But suppose, in spite of weariness, the words are spoken with genuine personal concern, they immediately convey to Mrs. Jones that the speaker is flatteringly anx- ious to see her in the new model, that she feels sure 1t will look well. Mrs. Jones is warmed, soothed, put in a buying mood. And the mir acle is worked entirely by the tone. A voice which can do this for you, in selling a dress, a life insurance policy, or whatever, is well worth care full cultivation.
 Voice Must Be Controlled
 Here is the great secret: emotion can make sales; it is one of the readiest aids in clinching a deal. The ear of the listener is in direct com munication with your emo tions. The most common stimulus for the pocket book-opening reaction" of hu- manity is emotional, not in- tellectual. That is why your voice must be trained to run the subtle scales of emotion with artistic ease. But first you must actually be inter- ested in your job and in peo- pie.
 Your voice is an instrument that will respond to training and with care and patience you can do with it what you will.

Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

We dress our children more sensi- ply every year, it seems to me. The n.-le snow suits and skiing COS. tunes are so comfortable and pro- tective. Qoloshes, necessary to sup plement the low shoe, are indispen- sible to the outfit, and altogether the entire ensemble Is admirable for exercise and warmth.
 But with due apologizes to those who design and make clothes for the wee folks, I have a suggestion to offer. Why not keep an eye on the facility of adjustment, make 1t easier for the child to slip into his togs and save mothers time too? Getting Henry ready to gc out for his airing is often 8 bout that leaves the child peevish and mother exhausted.
 For instance, why are not in- flexible materials buttoned down front instead of, too-often, the puil-over type?
 Dressed, But Only Temporarily I watched Q mother recently dress her small son for the street I thought the child pretty tough to stand for the punishment oi getting ready. He looked lovely when finished and as comfortable as an Eskimo in . bear skin. But mother was ready to lie down, ant 50 was I, watching.

CHANGE. OF. ATTITUDE. TO. WARD INJECTION TREAT
 MENT OF HERNIA

MGN1 VE kzEkeNxA 'The popular writer on medical subjects" screamed the omniscient bla-bla man of the DOT old Ameri- can Medical association, referring to me, unfortunately, is not in pos- session of the records of people who have had these injections and sub- sequently developed gangrene from which they died"
 The ubiquitous Morris is right about that I have not such rec ords. I challenge him or any one else to produce such records.
 Early in 1894 I quoted here the conclusion reached by surgeon of high standing who had carefully in- vestigated the injection treatment of hernia and observed the results in 8 series of cases. He said:
 T have arrived at the conclusion that if had a hernia I would have 1t operated upon, and therefore my advice must be that people who come seeking injection treatment should have the operation"
 It was with regret that I learned of the surgeons conclusion, for I believed he was conscientious in his investigation of the method and un- biased in his judgment mentioi1- ed 1t here because on a previous occasion I had mentioned the sur- geon's interest in and use of the method.
 My own preference, if I had hernia, was and still Is injection treatment, although I don't mind having Q clean major operation, ire deed, from personal experience I am convinced most people grossly exag- gerate the ''ordeal" of an operation In fact if you are seriously i'll or disabled an operation is rather a heaven sent relief.
 Today the same surgeon writes:
 My attitude toward injection treatment has changed. I am con- vinced that it is a valuable method with some definite limitations. The results are showing up pretty well. It is still too early to talk about figures on it but am ad- vising people to have it in prefer ence to operation, in cases which I think are suitable
 We are starting Q clinic in the Outpatient Department of ....... Hospital, which is definite evidence of my change of opinion"

Aygeie, tne hAeuhtn Nas"Ahe That old proverb, "It's an i'll wind .," it seems, applies even to the depression.
 Perhaps one valuable result of hard times has been the way in which people on relief have been taught to select their diets to get the most good out of them.
 Tn most communities, baskets prepared for the poor were arranged by dietary authorities who sought to combine in them not only essen tial food substances, but also "ap- petite appeal"
 There's no use giving someone foods that he simply cannot eat be- cause he does not like them. Nu- triton value comes not from the foods on 8 list nor even from the foods in the basket, but from those actually eaten by family. < You must remember that money spent for food not afterward eaten is wasted. Tn selecting diets for ourselves, for the poor, or for in- valids, therefore, you must choose foods that are not only necessary but also appeal to the appetite.
 oe
 Illustrating the maner in which relief authorities observe that rule, the Illinois relief commission de- veloped four standard dietaries planned for seven persons in each family. These dietaries are classi- fled as general southern, Italian and Jewish.
 A certain amount of spaghetti is included in the dietary for each group, but macaroni appears only an the Italian and general lists, and zs eliminated from the southern and Jewish diets. The Italian group also is allowed extra portions of macaroni, as we'll as 5ermicelli.
 The general sc@snern, and Jew ish diets includes two pounds of epaehetti a month whereas the Ital-

 The Jewish list provides nc pork and beans, but does have e good allowance of lima beans. Moreover, the Jewish diet list includes four cans of sardines, to three in the Italian and two in the southern lists.
 In contrast to these allowances, the southern list includes four pounds of salt pork, which does not appear at all on any of the other diet lists.
