BUY STEEL IN GERMANY.
GOvernme Contractors Secure Per-
mission to Purchase Foreign
Product.

The navy department has approved
the scheme of government con-
tractor who wishes to buy material
in Germany. The builders of steel
structures for the navy department
have been complaining that they had
difficulty in getting structural steel
from the foundries, and it looks as if
these contractors would have to
stand heavy penalty for delays in
the completion of their products. It
is certain, at any rate. that the build
lngs cannot be finished within the
periods specified in the contracts, and
unless the government valves this
defect on the ground that the con-
tractor is not responsible for the de-
lay there will be large fine imposed
on each builder.
One of the contractors who is con-
structing building at the New York
navy yard has solved the problem for
himself by ordering steel of a Ger
man concern. He found that he could
get the work done in few weeks,
whereas the Pennsylvania steel peo-
pie would not undertake to deliver
material before January 1.

SALES IN FAR EAST.
Exports of United States Increased
in That Direction.
Bureau of Foreign Commerce Re-
ports Gains in Demand for Amer

Indies and Persia.

The bureau of foreign commerce has
just made public an extract from Com
lnercial Relations of the United States
for 1901" showing what this country
accomplished in trade last year in the
East Indies and Persia.
The imports of shoes from the Unit

were four times as large as the year
previous. There also is an increase
IN the imports of furniture, and our

imports OF machinery and mill work,
due to the failure of crops and the
Chinese troubles, American shipments
showed a decided increase.
The same causes contributed to the
decline in imports of cotton piece

the united States, in the line of gray

TO PREVENT DECAY.
Cleanliness Is the First Rule for the
Preservation of the
Teeth

The liability of the teeth to decay
varies III different persons, but it is
seldom that even the weakest teeth
says the Youths Companion. The
beginning of decay in tooth con-
Sists in the eating out of the lime in
the enamel by Tactic acid. This acid
is the result of fermentation of the
starchy food particles left betwee /,
the teeth or between the loOsenc,$
gum and the neck of a tooth. In or
der to prevent it's formation the
mouth should be rinsed after each
meal with an antiseptic wash. A So
luton of boraX in lukewarm water
makes a serviceable mouth wash, and
there are many other kinds to be
had in the drug stores. But a word
of caution is necessary here: An
astringent mouth wash, contrary to
the usual belief, is not good for
long-continued use, for it may cause
retraction of the gums and conse-
quent loosening of the teeth.
The teeth should be brushed at
least twice a day, and in the evening
some dertifrice had better be used.
Dentifrces acts mechanically
is, they scour; or chemically --that is,
they cleanse and purify by killing dis
ease germs; or they may act both
mechanically and chemically. Most
of them contain antiseptic sub
stances, and usually some soap.
The securing properties of denti-
frices are due to precipitated chalk
stance added to give pleasant taste.
Sometimes powdered charcoal or
pumice is added to give more grit;
but this is not desirable, for it may
scratch the enamel or work down be-
meath the gum and lift it from the
tooth.
Many dentifrices contain botN a me-
chanical cleanser, such as magnesia
or chalk, and chemical purifier, such
as soap, thymol or boracic acid.
After the use of any dentfrice the
mouth should be thoroughly rinsed
in order to remove all solid parti-
cles from between the teeth or be-
meath the edge of the gums. The
coarser food particles should be re-
moved lin private) after each meal by
means of a quill or wooden tooth
pick, dental floss silk or small rub
Der band.
In addition to this personal at
tention, one should have the mouth
inspected every year or oftener by q
dentist, that the tartar may be re-
moved and any possible decay detect
ed and treated.

south shore of Staten Island, near Tot

sick children of New York. The land
comprises about quarter of mile
of fine beach, also Il fine fresh water

that from 1900 to 1000 children daily
can be provided for at the beach. and.
they will be given good time in the
usual way by means of bathing boat
ing on the lake, and games in the fields.
The children will be conveyed to the
beach probably on a large steamer.

the open-air season. Every child will
receive good dinner.
Mrs. Schwab is closely interested
with me in this undertaking, and we
both have our hearts in it. We shall
proceed carefully in all respects, avail
