Jt is very seldom that we see a
atraight, woll-formed mouth. Some
times it Is spoiled by protruding teeth
sometimes by . a 'large, ovorhhnging
upper jaw, generally we find the up-
higher, we are becoming weaker and
of less worth. Even though we never
reach the goal, we have made some
advance in striving for it. A good
aim, a real purpose in life, makes
worth of character, All have not the
same tastes. .There is a large field
from which to choose what one will
uv,rW for. And thU is well. The one
I univprnnl Jlim is the ss-ie, ti live
truer, better' lives from day to day.
A life without purpose is like a ship
without a rudder. Want of motive
makes life monotonous. Nothing sat
isfies. "Better little talent and much
purpose than much talent and little
purpose." Aim for something worth
while and keep your mark steadily
in view. Life will mean much more
to you. You will be more useful to
the world, you will find more satis
faction in living.
"NO FUTURE"
(New York Evening World)
There is a lesson in the mistake of
the vountr manager of a New York
firm's Philadelphia office who stole
his employer's money and gambled
with it because he couldn't see any
business future before him.
At the very time he was risking
that future before him and the happi
ness of his wife and child the owner

Many a bright young man in the
twenties comes up against the feeling
that he is not getting along as fast
as he should and is tempted to take a
chance 'along the short but crooked
path. If he stops to think it over he
sees that, dull as the outlook is, ten
to one it's all the while to somebody's
Interest to watch his work and calcu
late his future value. Steady effort
and self-improvement plus the deter
mination to win out is a combination
the business world never gets too
much of.
For a young man the brightest
thing about the future ought to be
that if he builds honestly toward it
there is no telling who or what may
come along to enlarge a hundredfold
the plans.
is due to one of the most unfortunate
habits that can be formed in child
hood the Bucking of the thumb.
The bones of a baby's jaw are ex
tremely plastic, . and subject to al
most any amount of deformity by
long continued impact and strain. If
even as soft an object as a thumb is
placed in the mouth for any length
of time, the inevitable result will be
that the upper jfciw and teeth will be
pushed out of place.
Many mothers aire aware of the
danger in making such a habit, and
they resort to what they think is the
next best thing which is in reality
the next worst thing the pacifier.
Imagine a bit of hard rubber and
ivory in a child's mouth during all
of its winking hours, and many times
its sleeping ones. It is nothing mre
or less than an instrument which
rapidly and skilfully dialoctates the KEEPING BOOKS IN THE KITCH
