The family may be of excellent stock; the eavironment may have been of the, best, and the child's | training mu have been along the most modern, aclentific lines—but a ¢ lack of milk in the infantile diet may ruin his life and eend him along the paths of incorrigibility, . Correcting the first signs of ab- | normality by bullding up health is one of the most important methods of developing character in the child, Dr. Florence Mateer, noted clinical psychologist of Columbus, O., told he mid-west conference on charac- | ter development today. “The physical condition of the child determines a great many of hie feelings, and consequently guides much of his emotional life,” Dr. | Mateer said. Lack of milk or other calciumd substance, for example, affects body glands, she explained. Defective glands lead successively to such things as fatigue, self-pity, depres- sion, fear, waywardness and even suicide. The child also may suffer from body abnormalities such as he and his parents never knew existed until it was too late to correct them. “The usual attitude is to ignore the emotional dfsturbances which result, or to attribute them to ‘com- plexes,’ but even most complexes | would have little chance to affect | the child if he were in perfect health,” Dr. Mateer said. | | Museum Says Men Bobbed Hair Years Ago New York, Feb. 11.—([’P\—Four‘ thousand years ago, the men bobbed their hair, the Metropolitan museum disclosed in a report on explorations at the Temple of Metuhotep, near A sealed underground tomb dis- closed a party of 60 warriors slain in battle, All had a thick crop of hair, some wearing it in a square beb seen on many flappers today, and others haying it curled in tight ringlets close to the head.

SAY NERVES ARE FOUND IN CANCER Heretofore Have Beea Considered 45 Separate Organisms Montreal, Que., Feb, 17 (UP)— A discovery, said to be of utmost importance in cancer research work, has been announced by the McGill Pathological Institute and deals with the presence of nerves in can- cer and other tumorous growths.

The importance of the discovery, the announcement said, was that heretofore cancers had been consid-{ cred separate organisms, with cell | bodies of thelr own. Discovery of the presence of nerves points to & possibility of connecting cancers with the nervous system. ““New possibilities for advance in the knowledge of tumors and their treatment are opened.” Dr. Oertel| wrote. | His statement of the finding, In| part said: | “The recognition that human| cancers are supplied with and carry | nerves is an important forward step | in the knowledge of cancer and throws a new light on the problems of its nature and growth. | “For one thing, it establishes that | and self contained growth of cells as has so far been assumed and it points the way to a possible con- nection of the cancerous growth| with the nervous system.” | | | TENDERED KITCHEN SHOWER | A kitchen shower was held last |evening on Miss Alma Johnson of §7 Pleasant street at the home of | Miss Lilllan Nelson, 29 Henry street.
