The result was that he was often about Farmer Brown’s henyard even in broad day- light, hoping for a chance to catch jone of those fine fat hens. But Farmer Brown's boy kept those liens locked up at night and in a yard with a high wire fence by day, for he had seen Reddy about and knew just what Reddy was there for.

Practically everything .l can say about the teeth has been said to you already by your dentist. The slogan which the dentists have been spreading through the country lately is: “A clean tooth mever de- cays” I do mot know whether this is literally true, but it is true enough so that every woman should Keep ber teeth and mouth as absolud@ly clean as she can. It is not only a matter of health, it is a matter of beauty also—which I think is the strongest argument to appeal to, at least, the very young women. Health we take for granted, but beauty is a thing we strive for. An enormous number of people nr: suffering from Riggs disease, W means that the gums gradually re- cede and the teeth eventually drop out. This can be cured if it is treated in time, and it can be prevented by absolute cleanline: As one dental gpecialist explained it to me, the tar. tar which forms on the teeth gradu- ally gets under the gums, irritates them, and sometimes even forms little pus cells. A good den e will scrape off this tartar, getting well down under the gums, so that all this irritating film is removed. A careless dentist will only take off the tartar above the gum, and that which is underneath will go on with its bad work. This is something which you yourself must be careful of when choosing your dentist.
