The composition of dentifrices has un-
dergone q change since the declaration
of war upon the microbe. Originally
these preparations were used mainly to
keep the mouth clean, to whiten the
teeth, and at the same time to harden the
gums. They answered their purpose to
a certain extent In regard to the first
point, because essential oils, which have
a considerable power in destroying BAG
terra, entered into their composition.
Alkaline powders. however as well as
dentffrices Of which alcohol is the base,
are calculated to dry the mouth.
A product which should never be used
in these preparations is salol. MN. Gil!e
and GARNER have described. in an origi-
nal pamphlet. the accidents which may
result from its use. Besides the possible
general phenomena of poisoning, such as
fugitive erythema and slight troubles
of the digestion. the principal incon-
veninence In the use Of salol as a denti-
frice consists in its producing IDENTITIES
around the lips. These IDENTITIES most
frequently ASSUME the form Of eczema,
and thus arises orbicular eczema Of the
lips.
1t Is therefore preferable to abstain
from this substance. which may be ad.
vantageously replaced by resorcin, SAIL
cylic acid. choral and formol. M. Gros-
richard Of Besancon has recommended
permanganate of potash for gargling the
mouth. The characteristic of this agent

HOW YOU CAN GROW PLUMP

II you want to be fat and Of a merry
countenance read the suggestions Of a
wise man as they are given here.
In the morning. he says, you should
drink cup of chocolate or cocoa lying
in bed before you rise for the day. Then
for breakfast eat eggs, a outlet Or chops
and plenty of fruit.
With your dinner be careful to take
plenty of observation-disclosures maca-
roni, asparagus, potatoes by preference
and try to avoid pickles and any form of
acid. Eat well of some desert that con-
tains plenty of sugar. eggs and milk.
All manner of foods that have starch
they can be digested. If this diet Is fol-
lowed there is promise of many addi-
tional pounds for the subject.
Milk has great value, and If the stom-
ach can stand it, two quarts a day may
be taken with advantage.
Lime water or brandy mixed with 1t
makes it more easy of assimilation to
most people. The best way is to drink
milk slowly. Taken hot just before going
to bed it promotes restful sleep and so
greatly helps the thin one to 'lay on"
flesh.
Cold baths are very thinning in their
tendency and should be avoided by the
would-be plump person. OF course, vio-
lent or long-sustained exercise will keep
one slender in spite of all precautions.
Never try to eat more than you have an
appetite for, as merely loading the stom-
ach does not mean that the food will
ever be turned into good useful tissue.
And constant worry Is to be avoided,
for irritation Of the nerves would render
useless even the most carefully selected
diet.

taste observe, that you must dress as
plainly as possible for this WearisOme
work.
The correct shopping costume Is one
that admits of easy locomOtiOn, and Is
made of stuffs that do not spoil with dust
and crowding; therefore long trains and
velvets and silks are sharply tabOoed for
this service, the smartest women wearing
simple braid trimmed gowns and the
most inconspicuous headgear. Outing

Among the dressier clothes there are
some very beautiful coats in velvet,
showing applications of thin cloth with a
satiny finish. Sharp contrasts Of color
are the distinguishing traits of these, and
when white is applied to black, as it
sometimes is. the result Is highly decora-
tive. The elaborateness of this surface
trimming depends largely on the price
paid for the garment, but one remarks
with Joy that 1t is not always the fussiest
effect in these coat applications that
reaches the high water mark Of modish
perfection. Indeed, the shipper they are

TT URKEYS and winter clothes may be
said to be synonymous terms, as 1t
is only at Thanksgiving that the
real tOggery of winter begins to be worn.
Up to this period the weather Is usually
too mild to permit of the furs and heavy
stuffs which constitute winter wear; but,
as If in collision with the elements. no
sooner does the Thanksgiving bird appear
than all is changed. Fierce winds begin
to howl, and with the suddenness of
magic textures and colors grow heavier
and warmer. Hats can no longer show

airy influences and the frou-frou lace
and net collet, so lately adored, are ban
ished to the limbo of useless things.
This season the transition from autumn
to winter is very marked, shaggy blan-
ket-looking materials having taken the
place Of the usual smooth cloths. and
quantities of fur Icing used for trimming.
Then with great fur turbans-made with
touch of lace and a bright rose-the
smartest fur jackets are seen in several
lengths, rich silk Innings in glowing COL
ors increasing their look of cozy warmth.
With these, for poorer folk, there are
some very neat little coats Of velvet and
kersey cloth, with which fur of several
sorts Is combined with most gratifying
effect. If the coat is trimmed. as it
often is. the furred look is given by
tippet and muff; for, to seem at all in
the swim this winter, the wardrobe that
aspres in the slightest to modish pre-
tension cannot afford to ignore the claims
of the wild animal.
There are very stylish long coats of
kersey and chinchila cloth, whose high
Medici collars permit of their being worn
without tippets, but somehow they do
not seem quite as effective as the gar
ments which show touch of fur.
Tippets, with three tails, and medium
sized muffs OF gray and black Opossum
are seen with little lack velvet EtOns,
which are very dashing with skirts in
some woolly. long haired material. With
this combination, whether the skirt Is in
black or color, the black velvet note is
often repeated on It, either stimulating
graduated fiounce with a swirling band,
or else showing in odd bits between
stitched applications of the wool. Appli-
cations Of plain cloth also show on skirts
In these hairy woods. and likewise with
