Teeth and Temper i

it km in 1814 tint a dentin in
Boston, Dr. Benjamin Jamri, wrote
treatise on the care o( the teeth.
In this paper lie makes strong plea
(or tooth cleanliness, claiming it to
be the one most important (actor in
tooth health. At the same time he
warns his readers against the ue of
scratchy powder, which mut at
that time have been of a terrifying
power, aiming solely at whitening
the teeth at whatever cost to the
' enamel or to the mouth tistues. lie
tven speaks of a number of persons
vi Boston who had made u-e of a
solution of vitriol and water. "The
effect of whitening their teeth stir
parsed their most sanguine expecta
tions," announces the doctor slyly.
And he goes on to tell what the stulT
did to the mouths of these unfor
tunate enthusiast.
As early as 1838 a man of the
name ot soiyman tirow wrote a
poem on tooth hygiene, dedicated
to his younger brother, a dentin. It
contains a great deal of advice in
anything byt flowing verse, among
the rest the excellent recommended
to use tlie tooth brush regularly and
to get a new one at least evice every
three months.
But the first true cleanser for the
teeth a cleanser and nothing more
was born in 1851. The first mod
ern dentifrice ever produced was
made on' the idea of a perfest tooth
preserver. It .was harmless and et
licient and pleasant to use and
marked the beginning of all modern
dentifrices. The company that be
gan to make it set up business at
512 Washington street, on the edge
of Greenwich Village .in little old
New York.
It is necessary for the mother to
realize that one of her most import
ant duties is to see -that her. child's
teeth are meticulously clean. The
use of medicated preparations belong
with that early experiment in vitriol.
Keep such things out of the mouth
of your child.
' A child's teeth rarely require the
use of powder oftencr than twice a
' week. Then use one that is un
ir.edicated and not too abrasiye. A
proper tooth brush, tepid water, a
few drops of some slightly sapona
ceous dentrifice and massaging of
the gums are the daily requisites.
It is also necessary to find the prop
er way to take care of the baby's
teeth before .the first tooth comes
and just after they arrive. You
canjiot begin to save teeth too early.

The Wise iVlan
Adapts Himself to
All Conditions
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
i An amusing story was told rue
not long iko bv a scientist.
It appears that some chickens were
transplanted from their native en
vironment in Seattle to a new world
in Alaska. The time was the win
ter seaon of long night. Darkness
persisted. 1 he chickens accustomed
to rise and go about their day's bnii
r.eswith the sun refused to leave
their roosts. They were in a (air way
to starve to death when their owner
rigged up a strong electric light
above their yard and turned it on
with the morning hours. Given their
accustomed illumination, the roosters
crowed, the hens came down from
their roosts and went about their
normal routine of pecking corn,
! scratching for worm and layinir
j eggs. And when the light was turned
oif fhe chickens roosted again.
Don't you know plenty of (oiks tike
that ?
Given abnormal conditions, some
people are helpless. When things run
along in the usual way they can pro
ceed about the day's work. But when
things are different from their ac
customed routine all routine ceases.
There is nothing more vital to suc
cessto haDuiuess. to all that makes
up our daily living than the art of
bending circumstances to our will
instead of being victimized by ex
ternalities. If man is a machine he can per
form his machine-like duties as long
as nothing unusual is asked of him.
But if man is an individual he must
learn how to meet the unusual, the
unexpected, even the inexplicable.
Helpless chickens, accustomed to
guide their days by the sun, in
stinctively accept darkness as a pe
riod (or roosting but need we show
a parallel stupidity i Mutt we wait
tor someone stronger and wiser than
we to come and turn on the illumm
tiun by which we regulate activity f
"II some one would find me an
opening," sighed Mary, "I'm sure
I'd make ood."
"If someone would help me with
this tremendous burden," claims
John. "I'd manage somehow alter-
ward.
But it it now that demands our
efforts. It is the problem which
looks black and dark that insists on
solution. It i the difficulty which
appears all encompassing, that mut
be met before we can go on to any
thing else,
Of course a chicken doesn't under
stand the distribution of light and
darkness at the poles. But we, who
do understand, are neither terrified
nor mystified when we find the sun
sinking for months and rising again
for months nor are we puziled by
the (act that the overhead sun of the
equator rises at 6 and sets again at 6
even though we are useo to a tar
different distribution of light in
Machiai, Me, or Florence, Italy.
So bark of most of the problems
that terrify ui there is a natural
cause. The fact that we don't hap.
pen to know and understand that
cause doesn t change the aosoiute
normality of most of the conditions
which startled us. 1 he thing to oo is
to accept them and to work ahead
in spite of them.
Flapper Fads.
Pearl tassels are favorite earrings.
There is a vogue for wearing ear-
rino rnntainina little oortraits in
miniature of anybody one wishes,
ot course.
Earrings are decidedly in vogue in
Paris. The long crystal drops are
particularly favored, more so than
rings or hoops.
Stunning gown of niousseliue, with
black and white, is the latest vogue
in Paris.
Educate the Back Gate Caller.
Install a bell near the back gate
and save the gate from being gat
tered down by the impatient ice
man, butcher or delivery boy.
