KIGHT CARE OF TEETH
MOST HIGHLY DESIRABLE POINT
OF BEAUTY.
Increasing Dally Attention and Consci
entious Visits to the Dentist Are
Imperative If Good Looks Are
to Be Preserved.
A good, tlrm white act ot teeth la
moro to bo desired thnn a rare string
of pearls. Unfortunatolj, all cannot
possess good teeth, but the few wom
en who hnvo a perfectly good white
set of teeth should guard them as they
would tho finest Jewels. On good au
thority, it may bo stated that a bad
Btomach caufios bad teeth, and If tho
stomach is not kept In good condition,
no matter how strong tho teeth may
bo, they cannot last.
Germs develop and Hvo nlmost
overywhero. When there Ib one bad
tooth in the mouth, there Is certain to
bo germs. One bad tooth not taken
care of in time reay lead to many vis
its to tho dentisl mid possibly the loas
of one or moro teeth.
Some years back tho dentist would
bo visited onco a year, later on twlco
a year was considered suillcient, but
now four times or overy threo months
is deemed none too often to hnvo tho
dentist look jour teeth over. Thoro
may be a tiny cavity, so Binall, In fact,
that It is rovcalcd only when tho
dentist looks through his magnifying
glass. But that cavity attendud to In
tlmo will Involve small cost, littlo
pain, and result In tho preservation of
tho tooth. Sometimes tho dentist's
examination may fail to roveal a small
cavity way down near a root and if
you jfoursolf do not ilud It soon it will
mean a good-sized filling when you
next visit tho dentist. Therefore, If
longer than threo mouths is allowed
to clapso between tho visits to the
dontist It Is ensy to estimate tho dam
ngo that may result to your teeth.
Much has been written and said con
cerning tho caro of tho teeth, and in
many Instances tho statements are ox1
tremo. Ono of thorn that the condi
tion of tho teeth depends wholly on
tho caro given them Is arbitrary and
untruo. Ab a matter of cleanliness and
n means of aiding tho ' preservation
nnd enhancing tho beauty of tho tooth,
unceasing dally attention should be
beBtowed upon them, but even undor
these ministrations tooth will decay,
lose thoir color and becomo usoless,
nnd it is not unURiinl to see rows of
strong, whitn, sound-looking teeth that
have never known brush or dentifrice.
Unsound teeth nro duo to constitu
tional dofect, unless tho toeth have
boon abused by being made to servo as
nut-crackers or having somo oqunlly
abnormal task forced upon them,
Their color, too, if dark, may result
from tho use of Iron, as a modlclno,
or from an acid condition of tho stom
ach, and all brushing, cleaning and
polishing that may bo given thorn will
not rostoro them to their original
whiteness.
Tlierft am also tooth which aro of a
waxen-white or yellow ivory tint. The
former have pearly, transparent edges,
Indicating a dollcato constitution and
like It are frail and doomed soon to
decayi The latter aro strong and
generally belong to a porson of vigor
ous constitution, but no amount of
brushing or scouring will over bloach
them to whitonoss that Is not natural
to them.
It Is claimed by somo that sweets
aro Injurious to tho teeth. Pure cano
sugar candy or maplo'sugar will not
corrodo the tooth, oven If ono partako
plonteously of these sweets. Tho toeth
need work and exorcise, and, if proper
ly used and not abused, whatever Is
good for, tho stomach and can bo prop
erly dlgosted will not harm tho tooth.
Tho real harm Is dono Whon crumbs
nro loft In tho toeth, especially over
night. Then acid accumulates and
slowly eats tho enamel, and onco
tills occurs thoro will soon bo a
cavity.
Nover uso a toothpick of any kind.
For removing tho crumbs botweon tho
teeth dental (Iosr is better. It should
19 drawn hntwonn tho tooth after oat
Ing and alwayB before retiring at
night. It is not neccuary to use pow
der ovory day, but It Ib nocossary to
brush tho tooth morning and night
with tepid water to which a pinch or
two of borax h.in boon nddod. This
ewootens tho breath and keeps tho
teeth clean. Two or throo times a
wook brush thorn with powdor, and
onco a month glva thotn a general
cleaning with pulverised pumice, rins
ing tho teeth thoroughly afterward.
A clonnstng aud rotroshlng tooth
powdor rnny bo tnndo with tho fol
lowing Ingredients:
Equal parts of precipitated chalk,
powderod orris root, borax and pow
dered castllo soap. Weigh thoso In
gredliilH, and, If a half pound or
wore. flvo cents worth of oil of winter
greon may bo addod. Thon sift all
through saveral times. Whon not us
ing, keep closely covered.
If tho practlco of rinsing tho toeth
nnd month after oatlng wero moro
generally obsorvod, tho tooth would
last longer and dentists' bills would bo
fowor. Pour a pint of boiling wntor
over a tablespoonful of blcarbonato of
soda. When cool Is muy bo used to
rlnso the tooth, as this destroys tho
Hcumulatlon of acid. Largor propor
tions may bo mixed and kept baudy
for uso. It takes but a moment to
rlnso tho tooth, and this precaution
helps in a largo measuro to preserve
them.
Ostrich Plumes.
Ostrich plumos. llko laco, aro nevor
allowed to remain In tho background
for any length of tlmo, aud an early
return to favor is predicted for thorn
as tho season advances. Tho smaller
hat shapes of satin and plush aro so

ly requiro but littlo trimming of any
kind. Tho "Borots" of volvot aro very
becoming, and real Tam o' Shantor

A, Budget of Queries.
Would llko to know In tlm next is
sue, If possible, If It Is proper to ac

Invitation Ib on ordlnury calling enrd
Also when invitation is formal. Ib it
proper to call after n reception or

Is It proper to acknowledge an Invita
tion to an "at home," and If so, how
should It bo worded? Also, Is It pro
pur at a homo wedding to tnko placo
nt six o'clock for a brldo to wear a
dross with a train without a long veil?
Jeanno.
Every Invitntion where tho hostess
provides a luncheon, dinner or sup
per should bo acknowledged nt onco,
or elso how is sho to know for how
many to piupain? My theory is that
every Invitation should bo accepted
or regretted Just ns soon us possible.
In tho strict seiiBO of tho word and
according to tho old-fashioned rules
of etiquette, calls should bo mndo af
ter accepting hospitality, but In this
busy generation nnd on account of
the great distances In cities cnu over
looks tho fart that guests do not pay
party calls, for it Is almost impossible,
A brldo may decide for herso'f exact
ly tho costumo Bho wishes to bo mar
ried In, and a short gown ml'ius veil
nnd train Ib proper If It best suits her
plans, her purso nnd her convenience.
Concerning a Shower.
Am grvlng a shower for n girl friend
of mine and would llko If you would
givo mo n, few suggestions. Do not
wish to play cards, but would like, to
do other things. I thought for ono
thing I might hnvo each guest hem a
towel, nnd to tho ono doing It tho
neatest nnd quickest givo n littlo
prbo of somo kind. Would 'hat bo
suitable?
Tho colors aro to bo yollow nnd
white. How could I best carry them
out? What would bo nlco for tho
luncheon? Anna.
For your decorations all you will
noed Is yellow and white chrysanthe
mums and carry out tho Bchomc a bit
In your menu by having a cienm of
celory soup with tho grated yolk of
hard-bollod eggs sprinkled over n
spoonful of whipped cream; servo In
bouillon rups; fried chicken breasts,
sweet potnto croquettes, corn fritters,
plnoapplo salad, chceso crackors and
Now York ico cream with sunshine
and angel food cako. Tho towel idea
is a good one, and you could give tho
towol for tho prise.
Conoernlng a Wedding.
I am to havo a morning wedding
with about thirty guestB; may I ask
sovcral questions, and wljl you pleaso
help mo plan for It? Aro Invitations
sent whoro only tho rolatlvon In tho
samo town aro invited? Do the brldo
and groom stand facing tho guests?
Is tho double ring ceremony becoming
moro popular? W. J.
Indeed, you may ask Just all tho
questions you wish. I am right hero
to answer them to tho best of my
ability. For a slmplo homo wedding
you need not send engraved Invita
tions, but Just littlo notes or ask tho
relatives and guests yourself to wit
ness tho coromony. Tho double ring
coromony Is qulto popular, but It and
tho question of whothor you stand fnc
Ing tho guests or with your back to
them Is JuBt for you to deoldo and tho
clergyman who is to ofllclato usually
has somo proforonco to expresB which
no will do at rehearsal.

ORIGINAL 'BONEHEAD' PLAYER
Inventor of Expressions Which Havo

Southern Leaguer.
Eddlo Ashenback, the well-known
minor leaguo manager who died re
cently, was tho Inventor of tho expres
sion "bonehcad," which, with "con
crete dome," "cement skull," solid
Ivory," has becomo a byword In base
ball. When Ashenback was manag
ing tho Shroveport tenni of tho South
ern leaguo Boveral years ago, ho had
good catcher, who could also hit
some, but ho had tho vory serious
weakness of not being able to gaugo a
foul fly, no matter how easy it was.
One day a batter raised a high foul
directly over tho plate, and the catch
er, misjudging It, was hit squarely on
top of thu liuad by the descending
sphere, which knocked off his mask
and bounded away about thirty feet.
That night Ashonback finished his
supper early and was passing out of
tho dining room when he happened
to walk behind his catcher, who was
devouring his evening meal with gusto
nnd enthusiasm. Stopping nt tho ta
ble, Ed passed his hands over tho
backstop's bond, feeling for tho bump
which ho thought would surely bo
thoro on account ot tho contact with
tho ball that afternoon. But there
was no lump to be felt. "No, wontlor,"
said Ash. "How could thoro bo a
bump? Your head is a solid bono."

PLAN A NEW COMBINE
Movement Under Way to Form
Rival of "Big Nine."
Five Colleges and Universities In
cluded In Conference In Middle
West Notre Dame and Mar
quette Are Included.
A movement Is on foot which will,
If It materializes, result In a now con
ference of colleges and universities In
tho middle west. Sponsors for the
lnns aro working secretly and with
n dispatch that augurs well for ulti
mata success.
Notro ifamc, Marquette and Wabash
have been named ns chartor members,
with tho possible Inclusion of the
Michigan agricultural col lego and
Lawrence university. Thero will bo
six or eight institutions In tho confer
ence, nnd it will enter upon Its offi
cial existence In tho fall with tho
opening of the 1913 football Henson.
An effort wns raado last spring, It
will be remembered, to form a confer
enco of tho Catholic universities in
tho middle west, but owing to tho
wcnltndss of tho teams the plan was
abandoned. The necessity of coment
lng athletic relations between the
prospective members of tho new con
ference Ib recognized as tho principal
reasofi for tho launching of tho com
bine. Tho strength of tho Institutions
nnmed for membership Is too well
known to need advertising. Notro
Dasio has always turned out a foot
ball team thnt t mdo It a feared rival
on any gridiron and a Riirc-flre con
tender for tho championship of Indi
ana every year. Wnbash, tho homo of
the "Littlo Giants," has given the
South Bend eleven n bitter fight, and
a meeting alwitys brews oodles of in
terest. .
Marquette and Notro Dame have a
three-year tie to wipe out, which says
plenty for tho evenness of tho two
teams representing these schools.
They will endeavor to settle their dif
ferences Thanksgiving day 'at Comls
koy park. Michigan "Aggies" havo
always been bitter football foes of
Notro Dame, and Is a powerful team.
Lnwrencn this yenr walloped Mar
quette, demonstrating that it Is a
worthy candidate for membership in
tho now conference.
While the plans aro in the making
discussion of tho rules which would
govern eligibility of football players
has already taken place in a Bketchy
way. The majority of tho schools in
lino for membership already comply
with tho regulations that govern tho
"big nine" with tho exception of tho
training tablo. Notro Dame, Mar
quetto and Wabash have promised, It
Is understood, to enforce the fresh
men rule, and the abolition of the
training tablo may follow.

TOO MUCH LOW GRADE ROSIN
Industry Has Approximate Value of
$20,000,000 Crude Methods of
Grading Prove Costly.
In this country there Is produced
nnnually forty million 280-pound bar
rels of rosin, having a value of ap
proximately $20,000,000. For many
years tho crude methods of grading
this product for shipment have lost
the producer millions of dollars. Tho
question today between tho producer
and user is ono of samples cut in cor
rect size.
Undo Sam, through his department
of agriculture, has devised a method
which does away with cutting the
sample. Ho has invented an appa
ratus which will mold a samplo the
exact size, by which tho producer
himself can grado the rosin as it is
mado at the still, and thus know defi
nitely beforo shipment exactly what
his product will grade.
The simple apparatus which is rec
ommended for this work comprises a
small mold mado of two pieces of or
dinary roofing tin. It la nbout one
and a half Inches high and exactly
seven-eighths of an Inch wide on the
sides, insldo measurement. This is
the size in which tho standard grado
samples should bo cut. With the ap
paratus Ib needed an ordinary tin
dipper, a knife and a sot of standard
rosin types.
Tho samples for grading aro mado
In molds while the rosin Is still In
liquid form In the barrels. Tho type
numbers aro printed on tho tiny block
samples to Indicate tho season in
which it was produced.

To Reulst Rust.
By a now process the galvanizing ot
Iron nnd steel for tho purposo of resist
ing rust haB been greatly simplified by
tho application of a coating of lead or
lead alloy, Instead of zinc, which is
used at tho present time. Lead, with
1 per cent, of tin In It, has been found
to bo a very durablo combination, es
pecially sultablo for electric railway
work. Tho economy of the now pro
cess lies not only in the fact that the
value of tho alloy mado uso of Is very
much lower than that ot zinc, but also
in that a very much thinner coating
may be applied.
