Teeth Called Guide To Character;

He-Man' Has Four Large Incisors

::

Vienna, Dec. 4.

To judge a person's character, look at the teeth. That is the advice of Feritus, Austrian characterologist..

Civilization has taught mankind to wear mask, and the more a person is elvilized the more impenetrable is his mask, according to Peritus.

"We cannot, however, change our teeth," says the characterol ogist, "They are a most valuable elemnerit in judging a person."

Watch, therefore, the teeth, of your interlocutors, when they talk or smile, urges Peritus.

A real ho-man has four almost equal incisive upper teeth, and lits chin is usually square, while in the real woman the two middle teeth are much larger than the two others, and her chin la more. or less pointed, says Peritus,
