EASY TO JUDGE CHARACTER I Make a Study of the Handwriting of Those of Whom Doubt Is Entertained. Handwriting indicates a good deal j more than appears on the surface, if what Louise Rice says in People's Mag- j azine is true. "Want a good, kind woman to live i in your widowed home and take care J of Willy and your bulldog?" she asks, j Xook at her capital 'A' and her small I *y' If she makes them in a certain way she will devote herself to you, for she is the gentle, tender, mother type, and will be contented with little, so long as she may love and care for the weak and small. I said, she's that type of mother, because there are many different kinds of mothers, all good in their way. I have often thought that if life were well regulated we'd have special mothers for * ? A m .i m^anis, ior nan-grown cunureu, iwr , lads and lasses, and some wonderful mothers for us grown-up children, who \ really need them most of all. "Hopeful people slant their writing upward just as their cheerful smiles .keep the corners of their mouths uptilted. Gloomy Gus lets his hand run y downhill when he writes, to match his cynical mouth. Old 'Ironface' Jones, just and severe, honest and stingy, writes a line across the page as straight and thin as a ruler, a twin to the slit that he calls his mouth. Susy, who hasn't a thought in her head which her mirror doesn't reflect, writes every which way. A pencil carefully drawn beneath her writing will give a faithful representation of the channel on a stormy day. "And the size of writing?that tells you so much, just at a glance. You know that c-rious contradiction which 5; V ^ \ ^ ^ uianea a paiJitn wiui cuuiuiuu^ nanuo do miniatures? And a fellow with lit tie, dainty paws take to mural decoration? It shows in writing, too, does that tendency. The smaller the letter the more profound the brain. Proof? Oh, look at the writing of statesmen and diplomats, writers, scientists, inventors, composers, naturalists, and philosophers. I know that the rule does not hold good for all business men, but those men themselves will acknowledge, I think, that they are not in the same mental class as those first mentioned." What This Year Is. IPs not only the year 1920 Anno ' Domini; tut it's also: The year 144 m of American Independence; the year , 5680 of the Jewish calendar; the year 1919 by the old Russian calendar (by which New Year's Day comes on Jan. 14 of our calendar); the year 183S by the Mohammedan calendar, and the year 1836 by the Coptic calendar, which is used in parts of /Egypt and ' Ethiopia. It is an interesting and little known f&ct, by the way, that our calendar ' years are out reckoned from the year of Christ's birth; but from the fourth , year after his birth. Christ was born In the year 4 B. CM according to the majority of authorities on such mat ters. Somewhere, sometime, a mistake in reckoning the years was made, which became so firmly established that it was impossible to correct the calendar after the discovery of the mistake was / , made. , Teach Boys Art of Fishing. A fishing school, the first in Italy, .has been opened at Naples, with an attendance of eighty enthusiastic and ambitious fisher boys. Exi ended trips < to fishing ground^ will be made in * a large motor boat, the gift of thte Junior Red Cross of America, and instruction will be given in the practice i :and theory of fishing. Some of the lessons will deal with the possible use ] *.?f fish for canning, the nature and extent of oil in fish, and its extraction < and preservation. ] It is believed the school will do much good here, as a large part of the population earns its livelihood by fish- I : Ing, but still employs old-fashioned < methods. Several other schools are being organized, one of them excluA sively for girls. i "Be Sure You Are Right" * The vital thing in achievement is a fixed goal backed up by a loyal will. Tf'? ?>ST to do n thine after vou have been convinced of Its justice. Half ^ the battle is finding out just what you ought to do, and making up your mind to do it. When you are committed to a task you feel no peace until you ? have gone your limit toward its < achievement. The wise thing to do is ] to make sure that what you think of ( doing adds to the general progress you 1 intend to make. "Be sure you are * right" Is more than a commonplace. ? It's a fundamental in the great worth while. Make haste as fast as you can, but continually remind yourself that you want to be sure which way you're headed.?Exchange. Poison-Gas to Rout Robbers. Poison gas foils would-be robbers who blow open safes or vaults equipped with a new protective device, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. A thin glass bottle, filled with i chemicals is placed in a metal holder Inside the doors. When an explosive is used to break them open, the concussion shatters the flask and releases its contents. Exposed to the air, the chemicals form a gas which suffocates and causes temporary blindness.

AUGUSTA, GA. "ALL 0. K. " FOR THE BLOOD" b What t Citizen of Georgia Says of ZIRON, the New Iron Tonic. Iron is needed by the blood to keep men and women strong and healthy. Iron is needed by the nerves to keep them toned up. Ziron, the new iron tonic, will put iron into your blood and should help renew your tagged nerve forces in the way it has done it for many others. Read what Mr. I. R. Bell, Rt. 2, Oconee, Ga.. says about the effects of Ziron: "I think Ziron is all 0. K. for the blood. That was what I have been taking it for? my blood. 1 liked Ziron so well that I went back to the store ana goi two more j bottles of it." Ziron is a combination of a pure medicinal inorganic iron salt, mentioned in the U. S. Pharmacopeia, with the hypophosphites of lime and soda, and other valuable tonic ingredients, endorsed and recommended by the best medical authorities and mentioned in the medical text books. All druggists sell Ziron on a moneyback guarantee. Look for the formula on the label. Get a bottle today, and give it a fair trial.
