Sugar ferments very easily and this fermentation is hastened by bac- teria that are present in the mouth. Lactic acid is the result of this fer- mentation and this acid acts on the lime or hard portion of the teeth in any place where the enamel is imper- fect. When the lime is dissolved the soft part of the tooth is exposed and then real decay begins. Each small grain of sugar that remains in the teeth may be the means of setting up this decay. Sugar mixed with other substances as in the case of candy is peculiarly liable to decay, since par- ticles of candy are heavier than pure sugar and more apt to lodge in the cracks of the teeth or in the gmmi 3 ts a large quantity o Ay muet be. willing to- take spe- cial pains in caring for the teeth. e me how to care for. this condition by means of diet.—H.

How to Save on Gloves and Hosiery. 00D gloves and hoslery are more or less expensive, but it never pays to buy any but the very best. The first cost may seem a little high, but this method is the best in the long run, because gloves and hosiery of the best quality will wear twice as long as those of an inferior quality that cost almost as much. Another ad- vantage is that the best quality goods will stand repairing many times be- fore entirely wearing out, but goods of a poor quality give way all at once. In the case of gloves a great deal depends upon how they are put on and taken off as to how long they will wear, especlally when they are new. It is always well before put- ting on new gloves to sprinkle tal- cum powder either into the gloves or over your hands. You can then draw them on and off without strain- ing them. Never pull them off by the finger tips. First draw the cuff section well over the hand, then slowly work out the thumb and fin- gers. This method will also prevent soiling delicate gloves, as you can handle them more from the inside. If they are too tight, warm them a littla before putting on. This will expand them. When not in use pull them gently into shape, then lay them flat between tissue paper in a drawer or glove box. Methods of Cleaning Gloves. The principal liquids used in v. o-called dry cleaning of gloves are hloroform. “alcohol, ether, naphtha, benzine and gasoline. The first three ingredients are the strongest. and used to remove stubborn stains. When any of these ingredients are used the work must be done out- doors. To sum up, so-called dry & may be done by means of a ning powder, with any of the liquid preparations mentioned above or with a combination of both wet and dry materials. A liquid that is often used in wet cleaning is fresh milk applied with a soft, clean picce of canton flannel that hias been rubbed with soap. The milk must be thoroughly rubbed in or it will leave the skins dry and wrinkled. 1f vou are cleaning white vr light-colored glo use whi soap. ~For dark gloves naphtha soap is best. When you have rubbed the spots tharaughly. immerse the gloves in the milk squeeze out the mois- ture, then lay_the gloves between towels to dry. The milk bath is often used to soften kid gloves that have become hard To clean gloves that fit you per- fectly first draw them on the hands, sprinkle cleaning powder over them, then rub your hands together as if you were washing them. To clean Eloves that are a little too large or too small for vou, first lay them on a smooth, clean surface, then rub them with the cleaning powder. A good cleaning powder for white kid or suede gloves can be made by mix- ing equal parts of talcum powder and {cream of tartar. or equal parts of | French chalk and powdered alum dark-colored _or light-colored fullers earth and cream of tixed makes a good cleaner slored glace slightly rubbing n them with of flour asoline. 1f are sofled scour of flannel that has Leen dipped in skimmed milk_and rubbed on pure white soap. Then ary them and polish them with French chalk Washable kid gloves can be clean- ed with soft warm water and castile soap. or they can be cleaned with fullers earth and cream of tartar mixed in equal parts. To prevent them from shrinking. stretch each finger with some solid obfect. like the handle of a knife. Do this be- fore the gloves are dry. Silk gloves can be cleaned with white or naphtha soap and warm water to which a little ammonia has Ibeen added. or they may be soaked { for one hour in a naphtha bath, When washing them, take care to rub them with the silk fiber, never against it Hang the gloves up and allow them to arip until they are nearly dry. then, to flatten them, lay them between two clean towels and place a weight on the towels. There are some spots that can be removed from gloves only by special treatment. Rub perspiration stains with a soft cloth dipped in chloroform and ether, then soak the gloves in a solution of five parts of benzine to two parts of chloroform and ether. Paint stains should be treated in the same way, except that the gloves shoald be soaked in gasoline instead of in the benzine and chloroform so- lution. To remove machine ofl stains from kid or leather skins, use cold Tyagn for white gloves, pure lard for zthves of soft finish and vaseline for dark gloves. When the dirt is 100 enes, wash the gloves in gasoline. COOKING them W A milk bath will remove water stains and new ink stains. Rust stains and old ink stains are best cleaned by apply- ing a thick paste made of cream of tartar and water. To prevent the stain from spreading, sprinkle French chalk round each spot before you treat it. As soon as the spots have disappeared, apply a little French chalk to the part that has been treat- ed. The chalk will absorb the mois- ture. Three rules apply to cleaning all kinds of gloves, no matter what meth- od s employed. First, always rinse cleaned gloves in a frésh solution of the fluid that you cleaned themin. Second, for polishing. use only a soft. clean linen cloth. Third, always clean one glove at a time, working from the wrist to the finger tips. Touching Up Gloves With Dye. Dyeing a glove all over is not dif- ficuit, but coloring one part of it is a more 'delicate undertaking, for the d must then be applied evenly with a brush and care must be taken not to color the same spot twice. A light brushing with the dye is usually suf- ficlent. ~All dyeing should be done after the gloves have been cleaned, but before they are polished. With the exception of white washable &loves, which should be dipped in the dyeing fluid while they are still wet gloves should never be dyed until they are thoroughly dry. You can dye any washable white gloves to a cream color by using diluted yellow dye or a preparation of strong coffee. Only gloves of the best quality can be dyed, pert Mending of Gloves. For your mending outfit you will need some very fine sewing needles some medium and some extra fine milliner's needles, several pleces of glove skin and some fine cotton or silk thread. The thread and the glove skin must’ match the color of the gloves. Cotton thread is best becaus it will not as readily cut the glov skins, but if you can find the color that you need in silk thread only, us the silk. When repairing worn-out glove tips use the small sewing needles; when making {nvisible darns use the ‘milliners’ necdies. It the work is done right a glove will not show that it has boen men An over- casting or a buttonhole stitch makes a good copy of the machine stitching that appears on most glov Some- times two rows of runn stitches can be used. If you uee button- hole stitch do not place the stitche as close together as you would if you were making buttonholes To mend a very small hole in a glove, turn the glove inside out and n the broken edges neatly. To mend a large hole, the edges of which are smooth, insert u patch. If the edges of the fole are very ragged make an invisible darn with very fine thread and fine milliner's needle. Do all mending of finger tips with very fine thread. If the scams have split open sew them neatly together on the inside of the glove or on the outside, whichever the seam was in the first place, cither buttonholed or plain. To mend a tear in the mat at the end of a finger r stitches at the end of the fi cut away the part of the mat i torn. Cut a piece of glove skin the same shape as the torn plece. bhut & little larger. If the machine stiteh- ing of the fluger seams is on te side of the glove, sew in the pateh correspond. Overcast the lower ed of the patch to the upper cdge of the finger. If the machine stitching is on the inside, turn the glove in out before you sew the new patch to the finger seams. To make a whole new tip for a glove finger, cut off the old tip and unravel all of its seams. Use these pieces as patterns and cut out the same number of new pieces. Stitch the new pieces together In the form of a tip and overcast the lower edges of the tip to the upper edges of the glove finger. You can mend the tip of the thumb in the same way. but instead of having several pieces s*tch into the form of a tip, vou will have only one piece, deeply scalloped at the end “Runs” rial the nd o to in Silk Stockings. If a run is in the ieg of a stock first baste it ov a piece of lazed paper or over think cardboard. While you darn, hold the section to be darned in place without stretching it or pulling it. If the run is in the foot, use a darning egg for the work. A good way to darn run quickly is to use a raveling from an old silk stocking or a single strand of fine darning cotton to fill in the run with a sigzag stitch. For the first stitch, bring the needle up from the under side of the material. For the next stitch, bring it down from the upper side. ' Continue as long as is neces- sary, catching the run very near the edges. Have the thread rather loos and when yvou have entirely filled in the run. pull it just taut enough to draw the ecdges together For this kind of darning the stitc should be placed about an eighth of an inch apart FOR TWO SIMPLE SALADS. BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS, Food Specialist. Salads enjoy the distinction of be- ing as wholesome as they are popu- lar. Their very popularity, however, may be the means of impairing, to a certain extent, their wholesomeness, since housewives vie with each other to concoct new and attractive forms of salads. Now, if properly managed, this is a good thing, for, as every woman Knows, variety is more than the spice of meals—it is healthfulness besides. On the other hand, overelaborate sal- ad dressings or unnecessarily com- plex combinations of ingredients may easily lead to indigestion, and the vitamins of the crisp salad plants may give up in despair and fall to ac- complish their mission—that of giv- ing life to the diet and active growth to_the bodily processes, To the end. then, that our readers may give a thought to the old-time simple salads, we have gathered the following thoughts of salad: Meat salads form a class by them- selves, for they are so hearty and | Substantial that they should be used as the main dish of a luncheon or supper, never served as one course of an elaborate dinner. Dinner salad should be a plain one of crispy chil- Ted lettuce, romaine, or endive with French dressing. It is with the vegetable and fruit salads that we are especially occu- pled in the present article, since these are the foods which furnish so much that is truly vital in a building-up diet, either for children or for adults. To make fruit salad almost any combination may be made, provided the fruits selected lend themselves to tive serving. A hake & winter fruit salad allow one lettuce leaf, one slice canned peach, one of canned pear, of orange and one of grapefruit. Arrange the fruit across the leaf so that the deeper colored fruits will alternate with those that are lighter in tone. Cover with French dressing, or, better still, pass the dressing for each one to serve himself. Garnish with strips of red and green pepper. A few combinations for every-day S fuce and water cress, French dressing; Leuuf:e and sliced onion, dressing; Mllu%t, halved tomatoes, parsley, mayonnaise; L)étulc cold potatoes, beets, French dressi r!:’n‘:xsce and string beans, French olives, essin drx.euuie.
