Now in these sh to warn my Editor Social Corne: joyous holidays 1 w £00d friends to be cautious how they indulge in the goodies and swectmeats so abundant in these days, for good health is more to our happiness than temporarily pleasing of the appetite. A physician once said: “Watch how many of your friends and acquaint- ances will suffer from hard colds dur- ing the holidays, and it will not be the result of exposure, changeable climate or late hours. It will be simply the re- sult of overeating. Nature makes a protest when we violate her laws, and the cold is one of her protests.” The eminent physician whose com- ticle pretation of an old saying: “Stuff a cold and starve a fever.” The general- 1y accepted idea that one laboring un- der a cold should stuff his system with food 1s wrong. The continual consumption of can- dies by children is another cause of disease. A emall quantity of pure week with Social Corner writers, for they are | Sugar, or pure candy, does a child no to Christmas and the various kindly harm: but there is no doubt that scores of children ruin their digestion their teeth and finally their constitu tions by being allowed to consume ca dy in large quantities.

I had always been obliged to | get up long before my last nap was finished, and while dressing and get- ting breakfast started, my face, I am | sure, sed my inner feelings only too well. | One morning, on the way to the din- ing-room, T happened to see myself | in the kitchen mirror.

There were ugly | wrinkles in my forehead, a most de- | cided downward curve to my mouth, and a sour, crabbed expression over my whole fac It was a revelation to me, and after | breakfast I took time to consider what my habitual “morning xpression” |would surely lead to. I decided that if intinued much 1onger in this way. it would take more than “Pompeiian” | to eradicate those wrinkles, or bring back a pleasant-looking face. next morning I took myself in “Smile!” was to be my motto. dingly, on arising, I forced my nclined mouth to re- verse its curves.
