What YOUR
NOSE TELLS
ABOUT YOU
O UR noses have more to do with the character ot
our faces than any other reatures. If they are
ill-shaped they give the whole countenance an
ugly aspect, while if they are moulded on strong, grace
ful lines they iend distinction to what would otherwise
be very plain faces.
Almost no other feature shows the infinite variety
that noses do. Even among members of the same
family you will rarely find two individuals whose noses
are exactly alike. The reason for this wide variation in
size and shape is a mystery which science has not yet
been able to clear up.
The nose is easily affected by influences from within
and without because of its softness. Only the root of
the nose, far between the eyes, is of bone, and the
greater part of the organ consists of a series of bits of
gristle or cartilage piled one on top of the other.
The shape of this soft gristly mass can be easily
altered, but just what the influences are which affect
it and result In such wide variations of nasal shape,
How Science Can Determine YOUR RACE by Studying YOUR NOSTRILS
i nf a ftincrln fanvilv have* not vpf hv urhlnk Liu i. v ^ ™
even within the limits of a single family, have not yet
been satisfactorily explained.
Undoubtedly the kind of food a child eats affects
the growth of his nose just as it does his bones. The
gristle which forms the nose is, in fact, only bone that
has stopped hardening, and whatever growth our bodies
show is due simply to the progressive hardening of the
gristle at the extremities of the joints.
But while physicians are unable to say what food
a child should eat to make his nose shapely surgeons
can do wonders in the way of correcting deformities in
the nose. This gristle is a substance easy to cbt away
and if a cavity remains after the deformity has been
removed this can be filled with paraffin or some similar
substance.
Several eminent surgeons believe that the day is
not far distant when they will be able to take a nose
in early childhood and train it into any desired shape
without using the knife or leaving a scar. This seems
reasonable, for a baby’s nose at birth is the tiniest
thing imaginable and as soft and pliable as a bit of
putty. An ingenious French surgeon has devised shap
ers which can be applied to baby’s face when an ab
normal nose may be expected from a study of the
noses of parents and grandparents.
Although we are not yet able to make our noses
grow just as we would like, we do know how to learn
many things from their shapes., The nose is, for in
stance, an extremely accurate index to a person’s race,
and scientists have lately laid down certain principles
by which an individual’s racial his
tory can be deduced from the shape
and position of his nostrile.
There is a striking difference be
tween the nostrils of Europeans and
the colored races, but this is not so
noticeable when viewed in the ordi
nary way as when seen from below.
It has been found that the nose fellows closely the
foundation laid by the root between the eyes. This is the
only bony part, and if it is broad and flat the nose is
sure to be the same, the cartilage appearing to follow
the general outlines of the foundation When you
come to consider it from an artistic point of view you
can not fail to note that as a rule the nose matches the
face. If the cheek-bones are broad, and the face is
correspondingly spread out, the nose is broad, too. In
fact, a broad face with an aquiline nose would look
most incongruous.
Among the white races the bridge of the nose
averages 54.5 per cent of the brei dth; among the
Mongols, 40.5 per cent, and among the negroid races
25.6 per cent.
There is a great variety of nasal shapes among
Europeans, probably because of the many crossings
and mixtures of races, and their noses are less typical
than those of the unmixed colored races.
The varieties include straight noses, bent noses and
depressed noses of various shapes at the end. In many
cases the nose starts out straight from the root and
the point turns up sharply—what we call a "pug. ' The
Greek nose runs straight from the root, which is not
depressed below the brow. Bent or Curved noses are
of frequent occurrence.
From a physiological standpoint the nose should be
of fair size so that air can be inhaled freely, and the
danger of breathing through the mouth is lessened.
Most great men, and many great women, have bee t
well endowed nasally. They are not beautiful, perhaps,
but they have a commanding look, and there Can be
little doubt that noses are to be carefully considered
when judging character. No one need be ashamed of
having a “big nose.”
When Henry Clay visited Europe Sidney Smith
said: “He is a living lie, for no man can be half as
grand as he looks." This impression was largely due
to Clay’s massive nose and brow. Napoleon was well
endowed nasally, and George Eliot had a full, large
nose. It does not always follow that greatness of mind
goes with the large nose, but it is seldom that you And
a great man or woman with a small, pudgy nose.
There Is no feature by which resemblance can be
more surely traced than the nose, and the child fre
quently goes back several generations for the peculiar
characteristics of this feature of his face.

A MAN’S Measure in EGGS
T HE latest research proves that 1,200
eggs hold all the chemical elements
contained in a man weighing 150
pounds. This does not mean that if you
made an enormous omelet of these twelve
hundred eggs a man would be produced. It
does signify that the elements in the eggs
would be equal to the elements in a man.
If a person were to eat nothing but eggs
he would get just the chemicals needed for
supporting life, but the system would not
digest an exclusive diet like this. The per
son trying to live oh eggs alone would soon
sicken, and if the diet were not changed
would die.
If an average man, weighing 150 pounds,
* were reduced to a fluid he would yield 3,630
cubic feet of illuminating gas and hydrogen,
or enough to fill a balloon that would carry
a hundred and fifty-five pounds.
If the normal human body were taken just
as it is and all of the elements extracted
from it there would be found enough
iron to make seven large nails; enough fat
for fourteen pound candles; enough carbon
to make the lead in sixty-five gross of pen
cils, and phosphorus enough to tip 820,000
matches. Besides all this would be found
twenty teaspoonfuls of salt, fifty full sized
lumps of sugar and thirty-eight quarts of
water. ) ,
Thus it is evident that a human being is a
great chemical factory, and the Value of a
man in actual materials is considerable.
The hundred dozen eggs would yield pre
cisely the same quantities of these chemical
elements, and even at the present high price
of eggs most of us would rather have the
eggs used for the purpose than the man.
Cooking an egg changes the character of
many of its chemical constituents, but ren
ders it more digestible and just as nutritious.
While the white of an egg can readily be di
gested in a raw state, the yolk is much bet
ter cooked.

Don’t Give Up
I F your leg goes to sleep, as we express it,
you do not sit still and await develop
ments, but you vigorously rub it and stamp
your foot to start the blood Into action.
When one has a headache it simply means
there is congestion or a clot on the brain.
To remove congestion requires active, not
passive measures.
“I had to lay off from work yesterday—
l was just completely used up with a head
ache" is a common complaint one hears. The
dark room, the secluded couch, the druggist’s
tablets and a day lost are the ordinary reme
dies for curing headache.
The man or woman who wakes up with a
headache or later in the day finds one grad
ually coming on generally succumbs in de
spair and the daj’s plans go by the board.
As a matter of fact, all this pampering of
headaches is the result of a misunderstand
ing of the evil. Headaches should not be
indulged, but combated. A sure and easy
way to bring quick relief to a severe headache
is to bend the head backward and forward
to HEADACHE
a number of times, then from side to side
with an easy motion. Move it gradually and
carefully forward and back until the pain
passes away. A brisk walk, a horseback
ride, a game of golf or tennis—in fact, any
thing that starts the blood and produces a
natural circulation will be a remedy at hand.
The housewife may go busily about her work
despite the headache. The stooping and
bending in brushing and dusting are the best
remedies she could supply.
A stirring conversation, an animated argu
ment or an intense interest awakened in any
subject may bring the desired result. Con
stant dwelling on one line of thought often
produces a slight congestion of the brail
In such cases shake up your mental poise
by interest in new lines of thought, and the
way your headache will disappear will sur
prise you.
Never give up to a headache, for if you do
it will fasten Itself upon you and return at
regular intervals. Throw it aside by action
in some form, either physical or mental, as
the case may require, and you will usually
find yourself able to conquer it.
