DO you know what makes this tar
tar on the teeth?" asked the dentist Of
his patient. The patient admitted that
lie did not understand it. but had been
led TO suppose it was due to gas that
arose from the stomach. 1T is the
lime formation that comes from the
saliva explained the dentist. This
saliva comes out Of the little glands
under the tongue. and readily collects
on the under teeth as you see. The
amount of this lime formation differs
in different people. Now ! know of
case where there was so much lime in
young mans saliva that it formed a
hard substance under his tongue that
it was necessary to cut out. The hard
substance made it almost impossible
for him to talk. People should now
and then take little acid into their
mouths when they have an abundance
of tartar collect on the teeth"

today. The sale Of magazines is as
enormous as is the great number Of
editions on the market. Slowly the

CuLDREN's MAsauERADE.



Night AT Turner Hall.
Christmas entertaining Is usually con-
fined TO family reunions and dinners and
Christmas trees for the young people for
whom the week between Christmas and
New Year Is entirely too short time in
which to crowd in all the social affairs
planned for and by these young people.
Each one wishes to entertain the others
and the number of social gatherings.
Christmas trees. parties and receptions
has grown to such proportion that 1t is
impossible for the younger set to attend
to all of the social functions arranged for
their dedication. In consequence OF which
the Turnverein has very CONSIDERABLY
adapted the annual custom OF giving a
chldren's ball during each holiday sea-
son. This ball Is primarily for the emil
dren OF the members OF the veren, but
they invite their young friends. and last
night Turner hall was literally packed
with juvenile jewellers. They were all in
mask and fancy,dress until about . o'clock,
when the masks were removed. revealing
the identity of hundreds of cheerful little
merrymakers. some in quaint, others in
grotesuue and elaborate costumes. The
prediction OF the young girls for long
dresses was demonstrated by the large
majority of those who had adopted court
trains for the evenings attire, which they
handled most adroitly In allowing their lit
tie feet to make rhythmic measure TO the
tuneful trills OF competent orchestra
furnished by Messrs. Schram and Diehi
The hall was beautifully decorated for
the occasion with Christmas evergreens
and bright colored bunting and flags.
Some special attractions were arranged
for the stage in the way of fancy dances
by little Miss Wren Perry and Master
Eugene Bother, pupils OF Prof. Beach.
Miss Perry appeared twice. first in a
serpentine then In a skirt dance. while
Master Bother thrice claimed the atten.
tion OF the highly pleased audience, first
In a skirt dance, then in song and
dance and finally with cake walk.
| large number OF adults were present
chiefly parents Of the children. whit
watched the pranks of the little ones with
approving smiles
About 10 o'clock an elegant supper wal
served in the gallery and after feastinI
the young folks returned to the dane,
hall and were loath to return to theil
home. whittier they finally went. three
and sleepy. to dream of ball and fair,
| scenes.
