The Exeter Times, 1919-11-13, Page 7YOUR CHARACTER Y YOUR WALK HOW TO SIZE UP FAULTS AND VIRTUES. Manner of Gait Indicates per.. .riora's Characteristics and His Occupation. Nothing denotes cllara,cter more than the walk, You may be deceived faces_ -the people, for example, hose locks you are attracted at first, often lot you down badly in the end--- but by the walk, never! Ensconce yourself at the window,. eoxnewlicre whore you can't be seen, and watch your friends as they pass by in the street. They will walk naturally If they are not conscious of being observed, and their carriage will then initiate you into one or two things it might be very useful for you to know. The "Vampire" Walk, First, there is what I designate the "aiiladi" walk, because I saw it adopted to perfection by that inimit- able impersonator of bad women, Mrs. Brown Potter, when she played the part of illllacli iii "The Three Musket- eers" twenty years ago in Loudon. It is a walk with a light, soft tread on the toes, but no very perceptible spring; and' the shoulders have a curious bend or hunch, which sug- gests the crouch of a vulture or some other bird or beast of prey. People with this walk (it is more conn - mon with women than men) are never to be trusted; they are cruel, greedy, callous, and,over and above all, subtle. It is the walk of the female Mephisto- pheles. Then there is the typical "business" walk:* the walk with the figure very upright, the steps short, brisk, and re- gular. It is an automatic walk, solely confined to business people, and it de- notes intense practicability and meth- od, and an entire absence of imagina- tion. Then there is the affected, mincing walk, where the stride is very short and the steps mostly on the toes, *here is nothing sharp or decisive about this walk; it is, if anything, cautious and wary, and the walkers seem to have their attention divided 'between being 'eternally on the look- out for puddles or other danger spots, and showing off their shoes and ankles to the best advantage. People who affect this unnatural style of walk are vain and petty. Their horizon is strictly limited to "looking nice" and trying to attract attention. They are incapable of any big-hearted actions, but- are invariably non -mag- nanimous and mean. Another walk with which 'one is tolerably familiar is the springy walk —the walk that is characterized by rather big strides and a kind of bound, as if the walker's sinews were made of india-rubber. If not too pronounced this walk merely indicates an extreme- ly active and optimistic mind—one who sees a very distinct silver lining to very cloud, and is quite sure they can get on in the world: If very much emphasized, however, the walk de- notes extreme eccentricity and ego- tism, and is only met with in cranks and monomaniacs. Then there is the shuffling walk. The chief characteristic of this walk is sloppiness, and it is invariable as- sociated with people of very untidy habits—people who are very methodi- cal, and often miserly. It is not infrequently met with_ in great thinkers, philosophers or scient- ists, men with marked genius, and who are often abrupt and crotchety in their manners. If very pronounced, indeed, it indicates a degree of eccen- tricity that verges on downright mad- ness. , a Mind Your Step. Another peculiar walk is that of the long stride with the decided swing of the shoulders. This walk is generally' to be seen in author -s•, actors and artists, and is characteristic of the art world, , ,lie man who has ideas of his own, and is quite untrammelled by conventitih. It _denotes independence, d and if accompanied by an emphatic planting down of the left foot, a stamp in fact, resolution and determination. The rolling gait in walking shows geniality and jollity; the stiff, up- right carriage, firmness, love of con- vention, and lack of sympathy. The former is common to sailors and to people who live a very free, out-of- door kind of life and "do themselves well;" the latter to ministers,. people with the legal turn, of mind, and par- ticularly the blue -stocking type of woman. The Tables Turned. An Irish witness was being examined as to liis knowledge of a shooting af- fair. "Did you see the shot fired?" the magistrate asked, "No, -eery. I only heard it," was the evasive reply. "That evidence is not satisfactory," re- plied the magistrate, sternly. "Stand down!" T,ie witness turned round to feave the box, and dire`etiy hip buck was turned he laughed derisively. The magistrato, inrlignaiit at this contempt of dourt, called hint back, and asked him hory he dared to laugh in court. "Did you see me laugh, your honor?" queried the offender. "No, sir, but, I heard yeti," was the irate reply. "That evidence is not satisfactory," said Pat. And this tithe everybody laughed ea - cot the magistrate, THE NERVOUS SCHOOL CHILD Needs Rich, Red �Xood to Regain a zz Health and Strength. Many children start school in ex- cellent health, but after a short time home work, examinations, hurried meals and crowded echool rooms ceruse their blood to become weak and thin, their nerves over wrought and their color and spirits loot. it is a g,rent mistake to let matters drift when boys and girds silo* symptoms of nervous- nese or weak blood. T1-iey are almost sure to fall victims of St. Vitus dance, or drift into debility that leads to other troubles. Regular meals, out- door exercise and plenty of sleepare necessary to combat the nervous wear of school life. But it is still more im- portant that parents should pay strict attention to the school child's blood supply. Keeii this rich and red by giv- ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills according to directions and the boy or girl will be eturdy and fit for school. The value of. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of this kind is shown by the statement 'of Mrs. Pearl G. Harrington, Kings- ville, Ont., who says:—"I have often felt that I should write youeand let you know what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did for me. At the age of thir- teen I was afflicted with St. Vitus dance. The trouble became so severe that I had to he talten from school. I was given medical treatment but it did not help me, in fact I was steadily growing worse. Then a friend ad- vised niy mother to give me Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, which she did, with the happiest results, as the pills com- pletely cured Pie and I was again able to take up my studies and attend school. Again about three years ago I was attacked with nervous prostra- tion and once more took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and after using five boxes was fully restored. I cannot praise these pills too highly as 1 believe they will cure any case of St. Vitus dance, or restore anyone who is weak, nerv- ous or run down. You eau safely give Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis to the inost delicate child, or take them yourself with equally good results when you need a blood tonic. These pills are sold by all dealers in medicine, or will be sent by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, by The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Tire territory included before the war Ili Hungary, Bulgaria and 12u - mania probably will export at least 1,600,000 tons of bread grains from. current crops, compared to 3,900,000 tons in average pre-war years. So far as its production. of bread grains is coucerned 13ulgarih is prac- tically on a pre-war basis and Hungary almost so, but Rumaula is still fat.* from complete recovery, The most optimistic claims of Rumania for ex- port . this year are 500,000 to s as against 1,700,000 tons of pre-war ?fears. In the wheat -producing region _ of southern Hungary the acreage plant- ed this year is fully ninety per cent, of the normal pre-war acreage. In that part of Rumania occupied by tho aritxies og the Central Powers, con- siderable land was not cultivated this year, while that which was devoted to crops was found in rather poor con- dition. This camp about because the Teutonic armies ravaged the country of much of tho work stook and agri- cultural implements. However, dos- pite this Rumania will be more than self-supporting, and as the maize crop is improving on account of conditions during the summer, Rumania will have tti certain amount of export surplus. There will undoubtedly be an export surplus from southern Hungary, while Bulgaria, as stated, is at least as well off in food production as it was pre- vious to the war and will be able to export more than the average amount of cereals. According to the specialists there will be but little increase in the acre- age devoted to bread. grain crops throughout eastern and northern Eu- rope during the next year, because most of the tillable land is now in crop' except those areas 'which were swept by war. Of course, there will be some small increase if the former battle- fields are farmed—as they probably will be as normal readjustment occurs —but in the main it is not anticipated that these countries will very greatly increase their acreage. 'The produc- tion of northern Europe will increase as soon as fertilizers becoine avail- able again, though it will probably not exceed the pre-war production for some years to come. .Beyond Argument. The new Irish pupil at a big board- ing -school excited much curiosity by his habit of talking to himself, One day a senior boy stopped him and ask- ed, with a supercilious smile: "Why on earth are you always chat- tering to yourself, Paddy?" "Shure, for two very good reasons!" was the unabashed reply. "Two reasons? What are they?" Well, bedad, one of them I loike to listen to a sinsible elan, and +the other is that I loike to talk to a sinsible man." Three Seasonable Designs t. 9109 9103 , 9093 bust.

A lady, relating her first impressions df these insects, says sho had several of them brought to her in the day- time, anti; put them into a box. In the night the confined insects made such a noise as to awaken her. She opened the box, the inside of which seemed to be all ablaze, and in her astonish- ment the box fell from her hands. Each of the insects seemed t0 be'on fire. • She soon, however, guessed the cause, and replaced her brilliant guests in their place of confinement. She said that the light of one of these insects was bright enough to read by. estop jolting Liver and Bowels with violent &r i l ole t drugs, but take "Cascarets," i "Dynamiting" bile out of your sYs- tem with calomel and other sickening purgatives is all wrong. • Salts, Oil, and Cathartic Waters act by flooding the bowels with the digestive juices which are vital to the estomach.

It is possible to change the color of precious and semi-precious stones by exposing theta to the action of radium. A Frenchilxau who has devoeed hidi1- self to this study has obtained re- markable results. He bought sap- phires of different kinds and put them in a box with a small quantity of radium. At tixe end of a month the transformations were as follows; white sapphires had became yellow; blue, green; violet, blue; wine -colored stones, red; dark blue, violet.

An amusing sidelight on the recent Peace Conference at Versailles is I thrown by a correspondent, who not only reported the proceedings proper,I but took notes regarding . the hair, 1 moustaches, beards and whiskers of the peacemakers. Two-thirds of the delegates were more or less bald. Per- haps some of them made up for thls by wearing moustaches. Out of sixty- five men who sat round the peace table, all had moustaches but four- teen. Whiskers, on the other hand, were not popular. Only three people wore them, and by a curious coinci- dence, the names of all these three people began with V. They were Venizelos, of Greece; Vandevelde, of Belgium; and Vassitch, of Serbia. The latter's whiskers were particular- ly prominent. In regard to dress, there was less formal attire than oue might have imagined. The English paid no special attentionto dress. Bowser hats and frock coats. once a combination that would` never have been sanctioned, were quite popular; but there were some countries which put all they knew into their attire. These were notably, the Japanese, and some of the South American States. Minard's Liniment Cures Garget in Cows. Oxygen For Fliers. At high levels, such as birdmen now- adays often reach, the air is so thin that the aviator literally "loses his breath." He is in danger of collapse from this cause. It was ascertained during the war, though not at first suspected, that about 15 per cent. of the candidates who passed examination for the air service were really unable to fly at altitudes ordinarily requisite in the work they were required to perform. It was further determined that more than 90 per cent. of them could not en- dure flight at extremely high levels. But, on the other hand, certain picked men, perhaps seven or eight out .of 100 passed candidates, were able to ascend to the greatest elevations with- out peril. To help in solving this important war problem an oxygen apparatus was developed, smaller than the kind used for mine -rescue work, but constructed eon much the sante principle.

This will cost very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn from one's feet. A few drops of this new ether com- pound applied directly upon a tender, aching corn should relieve the sore• ness instantly, and soon the entire corn, root and all, dries up and can be lifted out with the fingers. This new way to rid one's feet of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that, while freezone is sticky, it dries in a moment, and sim- ply shrivels up the corn without in- flaming or even irritating the sur• rounding tissue or skin.
