She knew that sentiment is often u powerful factor in a wom- an’s buying a home. Before her mind there flashed the picture of Edith ‘Walton, who had loved the old house 8o devotedly, but had been estranged from it through:Mer marrlage with the prosperous but uncultured Bl Cralg.

Now, .sccording to his mother, there’s a different story to tell—he «alls for it! 3 By giving youngsters Puffed Rice instead of ordinary cereals, many mothers have found the same result. The modern idea in diet is to give foungsters the food they need in a orm they like. You start now by tempiing the appetite. Puffed Rice does it probably like no other cereal known, The flavor is like toasted nutmeats — crispy grains that crunch in your mouth Jike fresh toast. Each grain is steam puffed to 8 times its natural size. That makes digestion easy. Then it’s richly oven toasted, which makes it as alluring as’a confection. Children revel in its unique deliciousness. Isn’t it better to give your chil- dren grain food in this enticing form than to command and coax that another be eaten?

All teeth are soft when they first come through the gums. Normally they grow harder with age, because of a tooth- hardening substance in the saliva, provided to harden the teeth and counteract decay. For some reason, amongclv- ilized races, the saliva is often | # lacking the necessary concen- tration of this substance to harden teeth—especially dur- ing chfldhood. en the saliva lacks this hardening substance, the teeth become sensitive and readily decay. Former Methods Have Failed to Check Decay | ; Until = recently efforts to [avert ~deécay were idirected toward the neutralization of mouth acids and the déstruc- tion of acid-forming b but, in spite of these- efforts, decay continued, until today 97 per cent of our young peo- ple have decayed: tceth—! A New Prmc(pll e in Dentistry At last it was discovered tbat teeth either hardened or decayed, ependmg upon the concentration of the tooth- hardening ‘substance in the saliva. Then it was found that when soft,” sensitive teeth, under- ‘rapid decay, were treat- ed with a saturate solution of | ¢ this substance (100 times the amount normally found in the saliva) they became very hard, sensitiveness disappeared | within a surprisingly time, and the progress of de- cay was checked. _‘New Tooth Paste ACIDENT | Hardens Soft Teeth and Checks Decay If your teeth are too sensi- tive to enjoy eating ices or candies, ACIDENT will very quickly correct this condition, which is positive proof of its tooth-hardening action. ACIDENT should be in every home, especially where there are . children, whose teeth are always soft.and need its hardening action to pre- vent decay.-
