Diseases of the mouth may affect

The mucous membrane covering
the lips and tongue and lining the
mouth cavity Is, on acount of its deli-
nature, especially subject to Irri-
tation. Constant and long continued
irritation Is probably one of the ex-

The lips are subject to several kinds
of irritation. Cigarette burns often
cause sore spots. Smokers of pipes,
especiolly short clay pipes, may have
burns on the lips, If the pipe is al-

tender spots may later lead to cracks
in the lips ‘which may be the starting
point of cancer.

CTHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
By H. IRVING KING

As Told by
Irvin S. Cobb
STEPPING OVER THINGS
over a child you will

stunt its growth, it brings bad
luck to a person to step over him
when he Is lying or to
over his feet If he Is sitting. If you
step over a fisherman's pole yon
“hoodoo” his luck.
These are some of the superstitions
common in this country with regard
to “stepping over,” and superstitions
of a kindred nature prevall in Sia-
vonla, France, Germany, Belgium,
Austria, Bohemia, and Syria. In Scot-
land If you are out hunting or fishing
and you step over your companion's
pole or gun he considers his luck
gone for the day. Kindred supersti-
tions are found among the North
American Indians and among many
African tribes,
The “stepping over” superstition
thus appears to be a natural evolu-
tion which might be malevolent. A
person stepping over a recumbent per-
gon or his belongings was In an superi-
or position to the person or thing re-
cumbent, more powerfully placed for
evil. It was largely this leyden Jar
idea which, among some ancient peo-
ples and savage tribes, caused them
to surround thelr rulers with taboo
and prohibit them from touching the
ground ; for the rulers were supposed
more “highly charged” than
ordinary mortals,
