(That should be one of those little 1. re:b marks, over the first "C" rather than an apostrophe, but the linatype on which this is yet just doesn't happen to have such a thing.) AcC1i:N'1', as many of you probably kuow, is pure mono- sodium glutamate which has no flavor of its ,own, but helps wonderfully in bringing out the flavors of almost anything.to wl.ich it is added. And I might say that several friends of mine, whose special diets forbid the use of salt, are allowed to use AC'CENT and find it a real blessing. NOODLE CHEESE CUSTARD RING WITH VEGETABLES 1 8 -ounce package fine noodles 1 cup milk, scalded • 3 eggs, beaten 1=a cups grated sharp Cheddar Cheese 1 teaspoon salt Few grains pepper rs teaspoon AC'CENT (pure monosodium glutamate) 1 bunch carrots, sliced and cooked* 2 cups cooked lima beans* A cup melted butter or margarine rs cup chopped peanuts Cook noodles in boiling salted water until tender; drain; rinse with cold water.

Nero mentioned back in Roman times that he "liked not the way a cer- tain courtier made his ''ti's" and "n's" (tops very pointed). They look too touch like prying." Blunt testi- mony of what the Chinese call "frozen motion" for every stroke of the writing implement is an ex- pressive Movement, the result of a brain impulse, which leaves a per- tnanent trace. Just as the heart-beat is register- ed on the cardiograph and every tiny break, waver or mark makes its own permanent record from which the specialist determines the con- dition of the heart so the trained grapho-analyst, in similar fashion interprets the personality and char- acteristics of the individual. No matter what mentality one possesses or quirks of personality, they are all shown in the handwrit- ing. Further it is a permanent record, whether in hieroglyphics chiselled on stone or on a sign- board painted with a . brush or on a written page done with pen or pencil. The most intimate details of one's character are manifested in that writing. The writing of a complete stranger becomes an open book to the graphologist for hand- writing analysis actually correlates between handwriting and person- ality, Yet, it is so complicated that the chances of obtaining an iden- tical specimen is ane in many bil- lions. The need is ever increasing for this rapid but adequate method of determining personality traits in all walks of life—the schoolroom, the home, in industrial, professional and military services, Its permanency serves not only for present records but for the past and future as well. "If clinical psychologists lose their jobs in personality testing in 1 40. the near future, it will be because the work can be better done, by the graphologist—the handwriting ex- pert," was a prediction made by a New York consulting psychologist at a meeting of the Montreal Medi- co -Chirurgical Society, at the Mon- treal Neurological Institute, on Wednesday evening, September 26th, 1951. Dr, Maud Harrower, one of the only two women Fel- lows of the Institute said that in comparative testing by psycholo- gists and graphologists, "the graph- ologist had it all. It is the only method where you can get back numbers." Earlier specimens of handwriting give a clue to changes that have • taken place in the patient's make- up, years beore he has been sent for tests. Because the methods of graphology testing are less com- plicated than other methods of men- tal testing, the meaning is clearly understood Now, for a few quick tests to prove you, ton, can be a grapho- analyst. Who writes the heaviest in your family? Just he sure, then, that that one rules the roost. Who starts off his M's, N's, W's, lin fact any capital letter) with a large initial loop? That person craves responsibility. Who omits initial loops on "h's" and "h's"? A forthright person who goes directly to the point in speech or action. Who writes an i -dot like a coni- tna? 'Watch out for an irritable soul. Who leaves "a's, o's, g's" open at the top? Ah, a real chatter- box, Do not trust all your secrets l here, And finally, are the t -bars too low on the stent or are they too near the top or, perhaps, above the stent. Too low, that person seers from an inferiority complex. 'Coo high, a dreamer of dreams, role who builds castles in the air.
