So may a famished man dream of a 12-.course dinner. Every sort of trimming device known to dressmakers or milliners has found its w to parasols. The |ostrich feather parasol has been re- |vived. The plumes are long, un- lcurled and cover almost the entire parasol. Cretonne, glazed chintz and blocked linen parasols are no less popular. These are usually of the seamless, one-piece variety, so that the design of the material need not be broken. Newer than these are straw sols.

Contrary to the belief of some peo- ple who fail to find the symptoms or a prescription here, it is not my aim to be funny, flippant, sarcastic, sen- sational, peculiar, unorthodox or un- conventional, though I should try to be all of these things if I thought that would help along the idea. My object is to teach certain principles of hygiene to well folk, not so much to sick people, and in the pursuit of that object 1 do not hesitate to tip oter any apple carts that impede the way. I am prepared to uphold everything 1 say here, or to retract it and make the amende honorable if it is not vight. At the same time I invite and never fail to give courteous considera- tion to sincere criticism offered by re- sponsible persons. When a dentist tipped over my apple cart the other day I took the verbal spanking he gave me in the same good spirit with which he ap- plied it. He said my teachings about tooth brushing are dangerous, that I} about | have “peculiar and lonely idea that practice and its relation to oral hyglene, and that “so called dirt on the teeth consists of starches from clean food, lime salts and mucin from 1he saliva,” and that any dirt on the toothbrush €omes there because it has | heen brushed off the teeth and it might better be on the brush than on the teeth. Finally my dentist friend asserted in cruel newspaper type where everybody could read it that far from being an unclean object to put in one’s mouth. the old toothbr may be made perfectly clean, b: terfally negative, by rinsing it w a strong stream of water and then <haking some salt on the bristies and hanging the brush up to dry until next using.

It never did seem a reasonable notion. As for lime salte, it is news that they are inju- rious to the teeth. A deflciency of lime salts in the the town dweller is assigned ! on experts as one of the causes of defective teeth. In the ariicle which aroused my dentist friend's rejoinder I said I didn't cve brushing saved any teeth: that unybody keep his teeth should visit the dentist regularly twice a year to have his is, why brush it off The mucin i film. which tends und render them harm.

And to carry the idea on to its logical end, one should have a soft brush on a very long flex ible handle, sort of a probang, in one toilet equipment, for think of all the starches, lime salts, mucin and stuff in one’s stomach after a hearty meal: Then some manufacturing genius might “perfect” the probang by ap- plying a little jointed attachment for giving one’s gall sac a thorough clean- ing every morning before breakfast.
