Of all the people who clean thcil
teeth regularly, it is certain that IL
very large proportion only do so once
a day, and that generally ut the time
of their morning additions. a much
smaller number also do SO ut retiring,
but the number Of those who make !.
practice OF regularly brushing their
teeth after eating, the most important
time OF all, is indeed very small. 1t
is while eating that all the little cav
tiles or lntcrsticcs between the teeth
become the repositories of fragments
of food or traces of some acids in the
food are left on the teeth to cause in
cipient decay, and hasten it where ii
has already commenced. Ii is of
course desirable to brush the teeth on
rising in the morning and before re-
firing 1T night, but it is of infinitely
more Importance that they should be
thoroughly cleaned after eating.

recipe, only, instead of adding water,
use the fish gravy. Rock fish, sea
bass, sturgeon or Holsters, make {:

A writer on woman's health SAYS
''Thc wife is increasingly told to
sootlc her husband that, IN fact, hcl
function is that of Il soothing syrup.
He is out in the fresh air, in vigorous
health, has no nerves, chats with Il
hundred people, hears and repeats
funny stories, has IL varied and breezy
life; while his wife stays all day long
in the same house, brcathcs over the
same air, washes over the same
dishes, hears the monutonous cry OF
''ma, ma, ma" fifteen hours Il day,
till she is wild with headache and
nervousness: then she is; to watch for
her husbands coming, greet him with
Il smile and proceed at once to soothe
him. The first and highest duty of Il
woman, married or unmarried, is to
preserve her health and to perform
her duties to all about her. If mar
ricd, it may be her duty to soothe her
husband if he is sick or worried; but
it is more like her highest duty to teach
her husband cheerful patience, self
help and deep respect for her mater
nal functions. a wife who allows her
husband I" make her unhappy by
fussing over the demands of his appe-
titc. or by staying too much within
doors that she may be always there
when he arrives, or in any other way
to sacrifice her health to his pleasure,
may be very devoted wife; but she
is an unfaithful mother and Il silly
woman"
