EW people brush their teeth properly; still fewer know how to care for their teeth. And yet, as many a person remarks, the teeth are a source of trouble from the time they appear until they are needed no more. Most of this trouble can be avoided if the child is early taught how to cave for its mouth and teeth, and constant supervision is exercised by a reliable dentist, I say “reliable” den- tist. Know to whom you are entrust- ing your teeth, because your nervous system and digestion hinge largely upon the condition of your teeth, Doctors are holding a convention to discover some means of prevent- ing spread of a serious disease of the gums and teeth. One famous dentist attributes this disease to the habit of using paste, instead of powder or Hauid on the teeth. (I do not vouch for his claim. Nor do many den- tists.) He says the paste is pushed under the flesh at the gums and hardens around the roots of the teeth, causing the disease that loosens them, He makes his patients brush their teeth up and down, instead of crossways; use a good powdered dentifrice, brush the teeth every day or two with a little cooking soda on the brush, and ecrub the inside of the teeth, up and down, and the gums This treatment, he says, has prevented any recurrence of the gum dis- ease among his patients, and has saved the teeth in fine order, rush their teeth crossways, and that jams the tooth powder, between the crevices of the teeth. ing up and down not teeth and their crevices, but also stimulates the flow of and keeps them healthy, Healthy gums mean good teeth, This same dentist also recommends brushing the teeth with castile soap. tried this and have not needed a dentist in years.

We gain an idea of how dust Is found floating in the air (in doors and out of doors—tho’ we can not see it) by noticing a shaft of sunlight as it streams into a darkened room. Carried hither and thither by every breath of air it, like all else in nature, follows the law of gravity and sooner or later sinks slowly towards the earth. Have you ever wondered what dust contains? It is filth, nothing else, and filth in its most dangerous form, for it helps to spread disease, Dust contains every form of disease germ from man and beast—soot, sand, ashes, wood, decayed matter, hair, pollen of plants, remains of flies and HO would ‘a’ thought, a few Bag ag ave was going to get all the stare to turning up their noses at their former salaries?
