Exercising will power Is the best way to overcome a bad htiblt. If you serm to lo It unconsciously, ask your friends and other members of your family to call your attention to It. Tutting cayenne p?ppcr under the null sometimes helps. As soon as they nre long enough, keep them smooth with a file, o there will be no temptation to "even" them with the teeth. (2) "Mother Shipton" was a reputed English pcannt, believed to be a witch and prophstess. She was first heard In 1841. Among her best known prophecies, prophe-cies, was thote in which she said thnt "carriages "car-riages without horses shall go" and that men would be seen In the air, also that "thp world to an end would come, tin 1881."
