Get up the same as other mornings and put the Fels-Naptha to work. You’ll get the wash out of the way in just about half the time. That’s not the best part of it either. With Fels-Naptha, there’s no boiling and no hard rubbing. You won’t have to spend hours over a hot stove poking and stirring a boiler full of clothes with a broomstick.

There was an energy' about him pleasing to Sweetwater. He might have much to do with this doctor. If Oswald Brotherson died—but he was not willing to consider this possibility— yet.

He would hope, as these others were hopinc, and If he did not count the minutes, ne at least saw every move of the oid horse waiting with drooping head and the resignation of long custom for the reappearance of his master with his news of life or death. And so an hour—two hours passed. Others were watching the old horse now. the street showed many an eager figure with head turned northward. From the open doorways women stepped, looked in the direction of their anxiety and retreat ed to their work again. Suspense was -everywhere; the moments dragged like hours; it became so keen at last that some impatient hearts could no longer stand it. A woman put her baby into another wom an’s arms and hurried up the road; an other followed, then another; then an old man, bowed with years and of tottering steps, began to go that way, halting a dozen times before he reached the group now collected in the dusty highway, near but not too near that house. As Sweet water's own enthusiasm swelled at this sight, he thought of the other Brotherson with hts theories and active advocacy for reform, and wondered if men and women would forego their meals and stand for hours tn the keen spring wind just to be the first to hear if he were to live or die. He knew that he himself would not. But he had suffered much both in his pride and his purse at the hands of the Brook lyn inventor; and such despoliation is not a reliable basis for sympathy. He was questioning his own judgment in this mat ter and losing himself in the maxes of past doubts and conjectures when a sud den change took place in the aspect of the street; he saw people running, and in another moment saw why. The doctor had shown himself on the porch which all were watching. Was he coming out? No, he stands quite still, runs his eye over the people waiting quietly in the road, and beckons to one of the smaller boys. The child, with upturned face, stands listening to what he has to say. then starts on a run for the village. He Is stopped, pulled about, questioned, and allowed to run on.

The Making of a Pretty Girl The Care of Teeth \y / X<y \lBk7W Wi.. PRETTY TEETH ARE A REAL BEAUTY ASSET. Bv MARGARET HUBBARD AYER. HAVE you had your teeth looked after yet? This Is the season for dis agreeble things—moving time, time for home renovating, going back to work, buying a new linoleum for the kitchen, and doing all the odds and ends that have to be attended to around the house. As visiting the dentist is about the most unpleasant thing the ordinary mortal has to do. you might just as well lump it all together and get it over with. I have often wondered how many women neglect their teeth in order to have winter furs, or a new evening gown—a great many, I am sure. Yet it’s far more Important to have good teeth than good clothes. Good teeth are the best kind of ad vertisement. They show cleanly hab its, good health and good digestion. They pre-suppose a pure, sweet breath, while the minute you see bad teeth —teeth allowed to grow dark or decayed—you instictlvely shrink from a person, no matter how well dressed he or she may be. If you must economise, don’t begin on your teeth. Go to the dentist even if you keep the old carpet on the sit ting room another year, or mend and re-dye your last year's garments. As for the men, if they economized on cigarettes, cigars and drinks, there would be several reasons why the den tist’s bill can be paid, and why it wouldn't be so heavy. Most people have to go to the den tist because they don't take care of their teeth regularly. The secret of good teeth is absolute cleanliness. The Danger. The food which accumulates in the spaces between the teeth, or in the irregularities of the surface, and which ferments and decays rapidly on ac count of the temperature of the mouth, attacks the teeth if it is allowed to re main there. The man or woman who can brush his or her teeth clean three times a day after each meal will have few den tist’s bills. You can easily make your own tooth paste. Take equal parts of tincture of green soap, pure alcohol and water. Add enough pure glycerine to make it taste sweet, and a few drops of oil of Win tergreen. Get a toothbrush that is not too soft nor too hard, and brush the teeth up ward and downward, being especially careful to brush way back in the mouth Do You Know— In Melbourne no Sunday papers are permitted, no hotels are allowed to open their bars from midnight on Sat urday until Monday morning, and any one driving past a place of worship at a faster pace than a walk while service is in progress is liable to be arrested.

Be sure and give all the teeth a good supply of the dentifrice. Generally only the teeth on the left-hand side get enough, as you will notice when you brush your own teeth, if you are not left-handed. Once every week brush the teeth with the dentrlfrice and a little powdered pumice stone. If the rim of the teeth near the gum shows a faint yellow line, take an orangewood stick, moisten it slightly with water, dip it in the pumice stone and rub over the spots. Then brush the teeth thoroughly. If your teeth are very far apart, use dental floss, drawing it between them and cleansing them thoroughly at least once a day.

Teeth decay for two reasons, external causes which can be avoided by abso lute cleanliness, and Internal causes more difficult to treat. When tee<th de cay from internal causes the condition is usually noticeable at first by the look of the gums, which grow pale, and then retract or draw back and shrink. People whose saliva is of a very acid nature, people who eat too much meat or who have certain diseases like gout or diabetes, will often find this condi tion appearing, and many people who have chronic nasal catarrh or who breathe through their mouth, will also notice at the base of the teeth a gen eral shrinkage of the gums and a for mation of pus around the base of the teeth, which destroys their substance. The best way to strengthen the gums and to make the supply of blood more regular is to massage the gum with the finger. You can use a little olive oil or cold water. Rub the lower jaw from below upward", and the upper jaw from above downward, putting the fingers on the gum, of course. Brush the teeth with a moderately strong solution of alcohol. When the saliva Is very alkaline to the taste, brush the teeth with water lr> which a good quantity of bicarbonate of sodium has been dissolved. Another good thing is to clean the gums off with alcohol and water, using a wad of clean cotton, and then gargling the water, which, of course, must not be the same as was used to cleanse the gums. Peroxide of hydrogen is a ,good anti septic for teeth and gums and should also be used to sterilize tooth brushes. Don’t use the tooth brush longer than a month. When you are through with it each time clean it thoroughly and hang it up in the air to dry. For Oracked Lips. As the cold weather approaches I get more and more complaints from girls whose lips begin to crack, because the skin is so very thin. If you wet your lips, running the tongue over them as most people do, on a cold, dry day, they will crack almost immediately. You «hould anoint them several times dur ing the day with old-fashioned cam phor toe, which is made of lamb tallow and gum camphor melted together. Plain vaseline is good, and some people can use rosewater and glycerine In equal parts. People who have very dry, pale lips can remedy this defect by massaging the lips with a little vaseline or any other emollient. Generally, however, the condition de notes indigestion or anaemia, and the constitution must be built up before the lips will get red again. A Mosquito As Big As A Man .

Dear Miss Fairfax; I am keeping steady company with a young lady nineteen years old and I would appreciate it very much if you would kindly inform me what would be an appropriate birthday present. J. O. B. That depends on the girl’s tastes. Books make an Ideal present, and I hope she prefers them above all other gifts. If she doesn't care for books, a handsome box of candy, or flowers, or a growing plant makes a pretty gift. THAT DEPENDS ON THE GIRL. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a young man 21 and am deeply tn love with a girl eight years my senior. I have a remunerative position and desire to marry. Is this girl too old for me? PERTURBED. As a general proposition, I believe no woman should marry a man eight years her Junior, but this girl may be much younger than her years. You are only 21; a man of 21 Is only half a man. Walt a few years, and I am sure you will decide this question for yourself. And your de cision will be that she is too old for you. CAN YOU BLAME THEM? Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a girl of nineteen, con sidered attractive and entertaining. Through business. I have met some very nice young men, but can not have them visit me, as my parents are very strict. Four years ago, I was a very foolish little girl, and I did something that made my parents doubt me, but now that I am older, I think I ought to have -• ■ ■ ■■■■ll ■ II i -I I —— J. r fWi —lMte / What food bo delectable as a dish of 1 fl Faust Spaghetti ?

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a young man and occa sionally go to places of amusement with a young lady friend of mine whom I like very much. She has many other gentlemen admirers and also goes out with them. The last few' times I have been to see her she hasn't seemed to be as jolly and friendly as usual toward me. A friend mentioned that perhaps she was in love. Would I be doing the right thing In asking why she act ed this way, and if she desired my company? ANXIOUS. Tell her you love her, This will give you the right to ask her If she loves you. Under no other circum stances will you be justified in asking her such a question. HAD SOME.
