i&afznf. THE BEAVER HERALD. BEAVER, OKLAHOMA "?. i! ti f! I: i' I TO BREAK UP-BITING HABIT Distressing Form of Nervoune Need Not Prove Too Hard to Overcome. Tho other day n friend said to me: "Havo you over noticed how many women blto tholr lips?" I hnd to con fess that I hadn't tho slightest Idea ot tho number, hut that I would go on an obscrvntlori tour tho next tlmo I canio In contnet with n roomtul of women. Tho opportunity presented Itflolf a fow days later, nnd'I wont about among them trying to discover llioso who had contracted tho habit. Ah5ul 40 por cent showed this form tf nervousness, which Is scarcely less disfiguring than biting tho nails, and far more difficulty to euro. Tho Bkln of tho lips Is so dellcato and thin that tho slightest chango In tompornturo will causo It to dry nnd .break, nnd tho Irrltntlon of this Bur faco roughness seems to lend nn Irro slstlblo Impulso to tho teeth. Very soon this slight abrasion bo comes raw nnd soro, and In winter Is particularly difficult to heal. If your lips nro In this condition I would first apply spirits of camphor, which Is an astringent, nnd a naturnl protection. Over this placo a coating of vnscllno, which will allay tho Inflammation and holp bent tho skin. To euro tho llp-bltlng habit It Is sometimes necessary to resort to the name methods that nro used to break tho habit of biting tho nails. If you havo tho courago to apply a coating of aloos to tho outer edgo of tho lips It will servo to romlnd you tho next tlmo you start biting them. Pitts burgh Dispatch. Safety First.

"Not exactly," said tho nenntor. "Tho fact Is, when I stnrtcd out hero I bit tho end oft tho cigar Just for fear you might ask for It." His Point of View. "What Id your Idea of matrimony?" asked tho fair maid who was still oc cupying tho nnxlous scat.
