Those teeth must be. perfect or beau ty will not be perfect. Every child ln good health who is two and a half years old, should have ewtney healthy teeth. The first permanent teeth appear at six years of age and should last as long as a person lives. Nowadays tooth- AfTn. has holinma al. 1 ) most obsolete. If teeth are properly cared for there need be no ailments con nected with them. Children's teeth should be brushffi with a soft brush as PPISCILLA ''I. oon as mey Degin to DEAN use them. Mothers of children whose appearance In moving pictures supplies means of mainten ance for an entire family study very Hard to care for those talented youngsters In the most approve? scientific manner. Nothing is over looked. There must be no gumboils, no swellings, no cavities to collect food debris and breed germs. The little folk are instructed and com pelled to use their tooth brushes regularly and properly. As they grow older they are made to realize that a very large share or the ills to which teeth are liable are due to aieglect of definite and preventable causes. Everyone knows or should know, that the teeth ought to be brushed and the mouth clenscd at bed time And after each meal. The gums should be massaged with the brush And the diet should include things that must be chewed. If this treat ment is persisted in it win surely prevent decay of the teeth in the ma jority of Instances and also ulcera tion of the gums. Dad teeth and neglected teeth, -even when the neglect is not visible to the observer, mar the looks of their owners, because they produce a onjtant infection of the stomach and intestines by their development of bacteria. The result is a muddy, pasty, complexion, dull eyes, irritlbil ity and a disagreeable, -pessimistic expression of the chronic dyspeptic. No one who wants to be consider ed beautiful wants a bad breath. Bad teeth invariably cause bad breath. Neither does the beauty aspirant, if she is up to date and possesses re fined taste, want her teeth to be heavily overlaid with gold the out ward, visible sigh that for either her own or her parents' ignorance or impecuniousness. her teeth had prev iously been neglected until they were In r shocking state. ' I met a young man some years ago who would have been a very fine looking but for his decayed teeth. Once I ventured to ask him why he did not have thenv attended toil He replied that he proposed to wait un til he could afford to have them all covered with gold. He said he was confident that after, such an inlay he would never again be subject to toothache. Until that moment I had given the youth credit for sound sense. Since that moment I have'al- ways doubted his endowment in that respect. The visible part of the teeth Is not the weakest. Decay usually begins Just where the edges of the gums touch them. That is where the enamel ends and the bony nocke't of the tooth extends Into the Jaw. To keep this lining margin of the gum healthy and firmly attached to the neck of the tooth is essential. That Is why school children of today are being so trained and lectured and drilled into the use of toothbrush, for It Is really more Important to brush the gums than the teeth.-If the gums are kept clean, strong and healthy, and all particles of food are removed from between the teeth or In any crevices, decay cannot begin. A soft toothbrush is best. It should not Irritate the gums and should be changed often. Of course It should be well cleansed after each using. The motion of brushing should be up and down and not across. Then the mouth should be opened and the Inner, grinding surface of the teeth sliould be brushed in the same man ner. If a little bi-carbonate of soda is added to the water with which the mouth is rinsed after the brushing is finished it will help preserve the teeth. Salt or boric acid is also good. After eating friut the mouth should always be rinsed out well. To keep good teeth one should eat slowly and chew food thoroughly. i Young people who have very dis colored teeth as a result of their own or parental neglect, will find the oc casional use of pumice helpful. The most satisfactory tooth powder is made of precipitated chalk and a few drons of peppermint for flavor. ' If the teeth seem inclined to bt loosening there is a preparation of tannic acid, rectified spirits, glycer ine and rosewater which I have been told is very beneficial. The amount of each to be used is said .to be two drahms, each, of the first two In gredients, two ounces of the glycer ine and ten ounces of rosewater. The old fashioned people say that one should not eat candy. They might as well try to abolish the lc cream cone and the automobile. We know, however, that an over amount of sweets cause harmful acids to be accumulated. A dentist told me that If more people would Just adopt the habit of rinsing the mouth with a lit tie warm water to which a pinch of bl-cnrbonate of soda had been added much of the Injury to teeth from eating candy and other acid forming dainties could be counteracted. Tartar, should not be allowed to accumulate. Once this has accumu lated, however, it Is wise to have a dentist remove it. It can- then be prevented by cleanliness, the occas ional use of pumice and snda. Toeth are often Injured by being too suddenly cooled or heated. The principle is the same as when a glass that Is very cold cracks when boiling water Is poured over it. A too sud den swerve from Ice cream to hot coffee Is not beneficial and might even cause the teeth to crack. All the people I know who have beautiful teeth go at regular inter vals to their dentist so he can look them over and detect at once the slightest tendency to decay. If a fill ing Is necessary gold is no longer in vogue, except for a back tooth or an under cavity where it will not be noticeable. Dentistry has made such rapid progress of late that splendid results are obtained with white enamel and bridge work. There Is no necessity filled and - repaired teeth. There are free clinics In all large cities whore the very best work Is done for a very small fee and lh cases where even that Is Impossible, there Is no charge whatever. A smile that has to be unnatural and strained In order to hide a de fect In the teeth, or a laughing mouth marred by some unsightly cavity is a blenrlsh that no beauty can withstand. It pays to be little. Switzerland hasn't had a war in 400 year. (It that Isn't right, somebody will let ua know In the next mail.) If Jazz Is music "gone bolshev.k," one begins to understand the or'sin of the Jazz oratory now so often In dulged in by political speakers. Another way to improve count ry automobile traffic in general is to move all the mudholes to the Imme diate vicinity of grade crossings. 1AA V V That proposal to reduce the cost of . leather by tanning sharks' hides may sound to the manufacturers as if ill might be something personal. IF YOU COULD GET WOULD IT INTEREST YOU? Wc have no oil 8lock for sale, hut wo have an investment to offer over 100 per eent on your money in fifteen years and which we hdnestly believe will do twice that good. Head the following carefully: First, what is a dollar? It is the yardstick by which the value of all com modities is measured. The dollar that would buy certain goods fifteen years ago will now buy less than half that many goods now. In other words, wc now have what we call n 50-ccnt dollar. If you believe, as we do, that prices of goods are going to decline during the next few years, then you must believe that dollars are going to increase in value. Wc believe they will double. Therefore every dollar that you have at this time is going to have considerably greater buying power than it now has. Figure It Out For Yourself Every dollar that you deposit now in this bank at 5 per cent interest, will, if compounded, amount to $2.0? in fifteen years. If, in that time, prices have declined one-half, your $2.07 will buy as much as $4.14 would now. You have your original dollar with 314 per cent interest on top of it. This is assuming that prices will decline 50 per cent in the next fifteen years. If they go down more than that, your profit is correspondingly more If they go down less than that, your profit is les3. If you believe prices arc , going to advance over the next fifteen years, then this advertisement is not for you. - , .... . ' When prices arc going up you should invest your savings in, goods, as your dollars are declining in value if you hold them. When prices are going , down, your savings should be invested in dollars because they are advancing in value. , Dad Never Had This Chance This advertisement is more particularly addressed to young people, for they are the ones who will benefit if they take advantage of it Every thou sand dollars that your old dad tucked away fifteen years or twenty years ago , is now worth about $500 loss in buying power. You have an opportunity that the old man never had. Every thousand dollars that you are able to put aside now will some day be worth $2,000 in buying power.
