which is balance.
But If her handwriting shows a
strong dramatic sense and lively
imagination, she needs clothes that
provide a vivid background, with
nothing drab about them. She
shouldn't follow fashion trends
blindly. Rather, she should bring out
her individuality by wearing things
in tune with the mode, of course, but
which suit her own personality"

Have You A Little Allergy
In Your Home?

Representatives, to this and
that, commonly to some particular
food, especially in infants or young
children, may not be more frequent
today than 1t was when gran
sported her first hustle, though 1t
seems so. That is probably due to
the fact that doctors recognize 1t
now, whereas In the gay nineties
we had never heard of 1t, and hence
we dubbed the various manifesto
tons Of allergy indigestion" hives,
ptomaine poisoning, collie, acute &C.
zema, hyperesthetic rhinitiS, asthma,
angioneurotic eczema and so on.
It would take us far from the
medicine cupboard to consider the
manifold forms Of allergy here. II
you think you are allergic mention
the nature Of your trouble, inclose
a three nt-stamped envelope bear
ing your address, and ask for folder
giving the Daily Requirement OF
Calcium, Calcium Feeding, High
Calcium Diet, Vitamins Everybody
Needs. This gives practical sugges-
tions for the correction Of allergy. II
I have material bearing specifically
on your complaint I'll send 1t along
with the folder.
Here, In view Of the low estimate
given earlier, 1t is fair to say that
where allergy Is associated with O
deficiency in digestion-the incon1-
pletely digested protein is a likely
factor-it Is the practice Of many
good physicians to prescribe ade-
quate doses Of pancreatin or ex.
tract Of the whole pancreas gland
after every meal--by adequate doses
we mean not less than one-hali
dozen capsules Of the extract even
for a young child. This promotes
more complete digestion Of proteins
and so prevents absorption Of in
completely changed proteins through
some assure, ulcer or other damaged
spot in the alimentary tract, The
immediate exciting factor Of the al
lergic reaction is entrance Of for
eign protein into the blood, whether
IL enters through a break In the
alimentary mucosa, through the
mucous membrane OF the nose, OF
through a scratch or other break In

letters were written send them in.
Naturally" Dorothy Sara laughed
Neither, I, nor any other conscien-
tious graphologist, can tell definite
ly whether an unsigned letter was
written by man or woman. I
could guess, of course, but In MAX
ing an analysis the word guess"
must be forgotten. Other things
which cannot be told are: the age
Of the writer, his race or any variety
Of hocus-pocus about whether he
will marry blonde or brunette,
be rich or poor, take trip, have an
illness and SUCH"
There's much than can be told,
however. And no guessing either.
For instance, If a young man
writes, II think So" with the II"
three times larger than the other
two words, Miss Sara can and will
tell you that he is pretty fond Of
himself. If his handwriting Tits
backward, 1t indicates that his head
rules his heart II he cannot write
on a straight line, he undoubtedly
Is subject to moods. Rounded hand
writing usually means a sympathet-
ic, gullible nature.
incidentally, 1t is not true that
small writing indicates a small,
petty nature. Or that a large scrawl
means generosity.
