ceeding forty, as may be required, with the

To Arrest Deoaying Teeth.

Mildred wants advice about the
teeth. She is SO, and her teeth were
neglected when young, are irregular,
which she supposes cannot be helped,
and are decaying fast; but she does
not want to have artificial ones.
Is there anything that will arrest de-
cay? Certainly. Take powdered
charcoal for the stomach daily; brush
the teeth with it till they become
white, which will take week, perhaps;
then use prepared chalk and a good
tooth wash for rinsing the teeth after
meals. Eat only bread of entire
wheat flour, as that supplies the phos-
pilates for bones and teeth, and use
cracked wheat as a vegetable freely.
1t is as good as rice in every way.
There is candy for children mixed
with phosphates which is said to have
good effect on the teeth, and is OF
benefit to older people can vouch.
Whether very strict care of health
and diet would result in improyemeu a,
and new growth of materials of the
teeth, as some dentists cay has occur
red, is a question, but the advantage il
every other way would be so great the
experiment is worth trying. 1t Ger
tainly ought to arrest decay. AciditN
of the stomach ruins teeth, and if thi
can be prevented orumbling teeth will
last long time-SHRLEY DARE.

estate, and TO whom he was much
attached. Suddenly the little girl said
to her father, "What is that strange
sound?" The father listened, and far
away, through the clear, cold frosty
air, he heard sound which he knew
too well. He said to the servant:
"The wolves are alter us; drive faster
and get your pistols ready" But the
same mornful sound came nearer and
nearer and soon the bsying of the pack
was distinctly heard. "When they
come up to US )" said the nobleman to
the serf, "you single out one and fire,
and will single out another; and while
the rest are devounng them we shall

two wolves fell.
The Others instantly set upon them
and devoured them; meanwhile by this
method the carriage gained ground.

servant to loose one of the leaders thai
