"MQUAREHEAD" has been sometimes a term of derision. Let me tell you, right now, the term is a real compliment, if de served. .A high, wide, long head, like that of Carl Gray, president of the Union Pacific, is w hat the character analyst calls a square head. It is the head of a man who stands foursquare with himself and his work, a man who is ambitious, aspiring, constructive; a man who looks ahead for the future and works sonstructlvcTy to a careful plan. The picture of Mr. Gray gives a good idea of what the "square" head is like, though it does not show the head quite as square as it really is in .life. Employers, take careful stock ot your employes' heads. High ideals, loyalty and honesty go naturally with that square cranial shape. A head like that will be leading constructive problems to success 10 years from now, if nothing untoward steps in to blight the character. Some Omaha "Squareheads." Other Omaha men who have heads largely square in contour are Dr. B, W. Christy, J. M. Harding, O. T. Eastman and Willard Hosford. I have not"-met all these men per sonally, but I am giving them to you as examples, that you may compare with their heads your own and those of your companions for information. Long, narrow heads are significant of a tactful, diplomatic nature. Men with such heads W illiam McAdoo is - a good example will win their points by milder means than those employed by men of aggressive disposition.

ADVERTISEMENT BETTER THAN CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the sub stitute for calomel are a mild but sure laxative, and their efiect on the liver is almost instantaneous.
