Care of the Deciduous Teeth.

The child receives It's first tempo
rary tooth about the fifth month after
birth, the dentition being completed
at the age Of two years. These teeth
should be cleaned with a soft brush
and warm water. The child usually
retains these teeth until the eruption
of the permanent set, the first per-
manent tooth appearing about the
sixth year. The deciduous teeth
should be carefully watched. and
when tooth shows decay consult
your dentist, and have it filed. At
this stage the filling is not expensive,
and will save the child much pain,
and trouble from an aching tooth
The early extraction Of the deciduous
teeth often causes the irregularities
of the permanent set. They should
be retained until the jaw has fully
expanded to receive the permanent
teeth Teach the child the necessity
OF keeping the teeth clean and pure.
The early use of the tooth brush will
establish a habit that will, In after
years. be considered necessity to

Appearance OF the Dealers.
All the dealers in charge of the
tables are dressed alike Their
gowns resemble in many respects the
dresses of the colored servants. They
wear nothing on their heads, how

tight fitting and extend only to the
elbows. The forearms and hands are
bare. The gowns button in the back

Best Butter Producer.

A comparison Of the yields OF di-
gestible matter produced by mangels,
sugar beets and silage corn when
grown under similar conditions, and
also comparison OF the merits of
roots and silage for the production Of
milk and butter, was recently made
at the Pennsylvania experiment STA
ton, with the following result: In a
feeding trial involving two lots of
five cows each, and covering three
periods Of twelve days, 100 pounds OF
digestible matter in the silage ration
produced 49,. % pounds OF milk and
7.21 pounds Of butter, while an equal
amount OF digestible dry matter in
the form Of roots produced 1877. SO
pounds Of milk, and $50 pounds Of
butter-a difference in the butter of
1914 per cent, But when the two
lots of cows were fed alike on COM
bination ration Of beets and silage,
the silage lot produced, per 100
pounds of digestible matter con-
sumed, l39 pounds OF milk and $40
pounds OF butter and the roots lot
100 POUNDS Of milk and g.. 46 pounds
of butter, thus showing an apparent
superiority of the cows constitute
Jog the silage lot. When this is
taken account of, it leaves net gain
in feeding value Of the silage over
the roots Of per cent. The cost OF
an acre of beets is S56.07, while that
OF an acre Of corn is $2l.l2, which
fairly proves that the latter is not
only the cheapest but is fully as eff
fective as beets for the production Of
milk or butter. Connecticut Farmer.

" Various cities in Germany have es-
tablished municipal eating houses as q
means for minimizing begging and to
relieve the worthy poor of the neces-
sity of accepting food given in charity.
Our Consul at Chemnitz, Jane G.
Monaghan, in report to the State De-
partment, gives a most favorable ac-
count of Oh institution of this kind in
that city, as the result of a visit. "The
food is substantial, " he declares. "Io
a Woodworking man with appetite
sharpened by exercise, the dinner is
excellent. Themeats, vegetables, etc,
are properly cleaned and prepared be-
fore they are cooked. Everything is
kept clean, and smellssweeta and whole
some. The peoples who look hearty,
gather in large rooms on benches
placed by long tables. Besides the
dinner, the midday meal, supper is
served to those who wish it. From
the list of the food given, observes the
Boston Herald, it appears to be sub
stantial and excellent in kind and
variety, and that the institution is APP
preciated is evidenced by the fact that
last year 435, 800 dinners were sold.
The food is sold by the portion, and
an ample dinner never costs more than
ten cents. The establishment is so
practically managed that it yields
something of profit to the city the
expenditures last year were SO, 557 %,
and the receipts were SIT, SOL. 6S, leav-
ing balance of 1914. 40. At our
municipal lodging house here in Bos-
ton, meals and lodging are paid for in
work. Our custom of giving out free
soup at the police stations through the
winter has little to commend it. 1t is
demorahzing and encourages vagrancy
and psuperism. The bounty often goes
to unworthy recipients, aad instances
have been related of keepers of cheap
boarding houses obtaining supplies for
their tables regularly in this way. On
the other hand, many who may really
need the food are too sensitive to re-
ceive it in charity. 1t would be much
better to sell the soup at cost, together
eth bread and perhaps other simple
kinds of food.

Nicaragua has enacted laws that
bears very hard ON the alien, notes the
San Francisco Examiner. The under
lying idea seems to be to have the
alien furnish the money for govern
ment devoted mostly to his own OPP
preston. When Nicaragua shall have
acquired the largest standing army in
the world and the largest navy it may
be able to execute these laws. In the
meantime much satisfaction may be
derived from contemplating the fact
that such august enactments adorn
and glorify the statute books.

The production of cotton is rapidly
Increasing in quantity in the transcas-
plan provinces of Russia. Last year
as many as p, $50 tons Of raw cotton
were transported across the Caspian to
Batoum and Poti. After reshipment
at these places the cotton was con-
veyed TO Odessa and sebastopol, and
thence to the weaving mills at LODI,
Warsaw and those in the Moscow dis
trict. 1t being cheaper than either
American or Egyptian cotton, which
pays very heavy import duty, it may
be, suggests the Chicago Herald, that
in a few years, when the cotton crop
of the transcaspian provinces will suf-
fee to furnish the raw material re-
quired by the Russian mills, American
and Egyptian cotton will cease to be
bought in Russia
