Why the Butcher Had the Cleanest
Market Stall.
Afrs. Smith -“Really, Mr. Slaughter, I think you have
the most inviting and appetizing stall in the market
always so clean and white. You must use a brand
new set of cloths and aprons every morning.’’
Mr. Slaughter- “Oh, no ma’am at least not any more.
Anty Drudge showed my wife how she could wash
all the blood stains out with cool or lukewarm water
and Fels-Naptha soap.’’
Anty Drudge “Yes, Mr. Slaughter, and if you ask your
wife, she will tell you that washing clothes with
Fels-Naptha in the Fels-Naptha way is easier and
better than any other way.’’
If you do your wash the Fels-Naptha
way, you won't have to set the alarm two
hours ahead for Monday morning.
(Jet tip 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.
That’s all been done away \v it h—com

Think what a line thing it is to have
nice, clean, snow-white clothes, without
ugly streaks and yellow spots.
Almost too good to be true.

of homes every week.

PRETTY TEETH ARE A REAL BEAUTY ASSET.
Bv MARGARET HI BBARD
AYER
HAVE you had , your teeth looked
after yet'.’
This is tlie season for dis
agreeble things moving time, time
for hon>e 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 thesbest 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 glow dark or
decayed you instil lively ■ shrink from
a person, no matter how well dressed
he or she may be.
If you must economize, don't begin
on your teeth. Go to the dentist even
if you keep tile 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 lie several reasons why the den
tist's trill <an 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 teetii regtllarly The secret of
good teeth is absolute cleanliness.
The Danger.
The food which accifmulates 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 ot woman who can brush
his or her teeth clean three times a
day after each oval will have few den
tist's bills.
You can easily make your own tooth
paste.
Take equal parts of tincture of green
soap, pure alcoho and water Add
enough pure glycerine to make it taste
sweet, and a few drops ot 01. 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 baek in the mouth

the mouth changes and becomes with
ered.
Teeth decay for two reasons, externa!
causes which can be avoided by abso
lute cleanliness, and internal causes
mote difficult to treat. When teeth 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 w hose 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
etal shrinkage of the gums and a for
mation of pus around the base of the
teeth, which destroysxheir 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 1
the gum. of course Brush the teeth
with a moderately strong solution of <
alcohol. 1
When the saliva is very alkaline to '
he taste, brush the teeth with water tn <
witich 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 gaigling 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
lit each time clean it thoroughly and
hang it up in the air to dry.
For Cracked Lips.
As the cold weather approaches I get
more and more complaints from girls
whose lips begin to crack, because the j
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
should anoint them several times dur
ing the day with old-fashioned cam
phor ice, which is made of lamb tallow
and gum camphor melted together.
Plain vaseline is good, and some people
can use rosewater and glycerine in
*-qual parts.
People who have very dry, pale lip
can remedy this defect by massaging
the lips with a little vaseline or any
other emollient.
Generally, however, the condition de
notes itidigestion or anaemia, and the
constitution must be built up before the
lips will get red again.

Advice to the Lovelorn
By Beatrice Fairfax
THERE ARE MANY THINGS.
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 plarft makes a pretty gift.
THAT DEPENDS ON THE GIRL.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young man 21 and am
deeply In 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. Wait a few years,
and I arn 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:
1 am 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

too? When I am allowed to go out
I have to go through a sort of an
examination before I can go.
TYPIST.
In their eyes you are still the same
foolish little girl. One never grows
up to one’s parents. They are strict
for your good. • Remember that, and
■ an accounting of what you do may be
I the safeguard you need. See that you
' go through every "examination" cred

THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I arn a young man and occa
sionally go to places of amusement
with a young lady friend of min«
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 sh»
was in love. Would I be doing th»
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.
Poet—Have you read Shakespeare
"Love's Labor Lost?"
Cynic—No; but I’ve taken a girl to
the theater, and had her talk to the
man next her all through the snow'.
A SORRY CHOICE.
Student—What is pessimism?
Philosopher—The faith nf cowards.
"Then what is optimism."
"The faith of fools."
