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

The liability of the teeth to decay
varies in different persons, but it is
seldom that even the weakest teeth
says the Youths Companion. The
beginning of decay in a 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 loosencI
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 day, and in the evening
some dentifrice had better be used.
Dentifrices acts Observation-Disclosures

frices are due to precipitated chalk
or magnesia, with some aromatic sub
stance added to give q 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 bot> me-
chanical cleanser, such as magnesia
or chalk, and a chemical purifier, such
as soap. thymol or boracic acid.
After the use of any denrifrice 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 a small rub

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.

MRS. LODGES HAT.
How the Predicate Wife Came 10
Wear 1t When Sitting for
Portrait.

It is not often that woman in this
day and time can boast an immortal
piece of headgear, and it is probable
Mrs. Lodge, wife of the United States
senator, is the only woman in this
country who has this distinction
Mrs. Lodges hat figures as promi-
nent feature of the Chartran por-
trait of Mrs. Roosevelt now in Paris
and which will later hang upon the
walls of the white house.
1t happened in the most natural
manner imaginable. Mrs. Lodge &C
companied Mrs. Roosevelt for her
first sitting for the portrait and at
the time Mrs. Roosevelt wore black
hat and her long, black visiting coat,
the latter to cover the white silk
dress in which she had decided to sit
for the portrait. The artist liked the
outer garment and hat effect so much
he prevailed upon Mrs. Roosevelt to
give her sittings in hat and coat.
using the white house grounds and
the executive mansion as back
ground.
The hat worn by Mrs. Roosevelt
was trifie small and the artist
casually commented on the fact
Mrs. Lodge wore large black pic
ture hat and the exchange was quick
~ made. Looking from the portrait
to the hat of Mrs. Lodge at the tea
given by the French ambassador
when the portrait was first shown
the public, some of their friends dis
covered the exchange of hats, and
laughingly commented on the hat be-
coming feature of the future his
tory of the white house.

There is a Santa Claus
%Philadelphla Inquirer


Some ignorant and superserviceable per-
sons can always be found at this time Of
year who think they are called upon to re-
form the human race by saying there is
no such person as Santa Claus or Kris
Kringle, and hat to teach children belief in
such a mythical parsonage is ldiotio and
subversive Of good morals. We have re-
celved a letter from a little tot to whom
rumors Of this kind have come and she
wants our opinion on the subject. We give
II gladly. Oh course there is a Santa Claus.
Don't believe anyone who tells you TO the
contrary. The Inquirer is nearly rs years
old. and II has been one OF its grandest
pleasures annually to chronicle his appear
ance and distribution OF rich gifts. II we
believed there were no Santa Claus or that
he would not arrive on schedule time this
week we should feel like going out Of bust
ness, for life would scarcely be worth liv-
ing.
Our little correspondent need not be wor-
ried by the arguments produced. such as
that It would be impossible for Santa Claus
to do all the work in one night. or that no
one has ever seen him or that n he Is as
good as he is claimed he would distribute
his presents better. Such arguments as
these have been brought against every good
man and every good institution that ever
existed. A very wise man wrote a book to
prove that Napoleon never lived, and he
made a very good argument. too. but that
did not alter the facts. It is true that
Santa Claus has a big Job ahead of him, but
he is ruled by love, and love is the most
powerful thing in the world. 1t can do any
thing and has been the handspring Of all
the good things the world has ever known.
1t is also true that Santa Claus is never

seen, but that IL his own affair. Neither
has anyone ever seen love or goodness Of
any kind. but we know that they exist and
that without them life would not be worth
living. Also at times he seems to some OF
us to be unfair in his discrimination In the
matter Of gifts. but he usually manages to
have something for everyone, and at least
all Of us can get as much love and bless
ings as we want. That IL because he
comes 90 celebrate the birth Of the Christ
child. through Whom the world Is being
made better and better all the timO. II is
not always the material things which bring
the most happiness, and surely there are
some rich people who seem to be the most
miserable on earth. Santa Claus brings
the best things In abundance TO all who
want them.
Surely there is a Santa Claus. When
you ind all the kindnes gone out Of the
world, when all people hate each other and
try to do all manner OF evil, when the
earth becomes uncomfortable, then you can
believe there In no Santa Claus, and not
before. But 80 long as there are loving
words and tender hearts and unselhshness,
so long as people love to help each other
and make each other happy, just so long
you may believe that Santa Claus is the
most real person in the world and you
must pay no attention to people who will
not believe anything except they see It.
These are the blindest people In the world.
THE things that are unseen are eternal"
said one OF the best and wisest men who
ever lived, and II is true.
Santa Claus may not bring us all the
things we want; perhaps that would not be
good for us, but he will bring us Joy. and
that is always good.

FBAT AMOUR cHARTER REVISION

THAT ABOUT CHARTER REVlSIONi
Public discussion of the proposed
amendments to the South Omaha charter
will begin this week under the auspices
of the mayor and city council of that
town, and will doubtless be participated
in by t%axpaying citizens of all classes
and all shades Of political opinion. The
charter Of Omaha is, IL anything, more
defective than the charter of South
Omaha, but no steps have as yet been
taken toward charter revision by public
discussion that would enable the Doug
las delegation to formulate charter
amendment bills in conformity with the
demands of taxpayers and citizens.
While the popular mind cannot prob
ably be diverted from the a~ll-absorbing
Christmas distribution, preliminary steps
should be taken without further delay
for public meetings to be held within
the ten days between Christmas and the
converting of the legislature. An OPP
p%ortunity should be given to representa-
tives from this county to the Legislature
to a~cquaint themselves with the popular
demand. The Douglas delegation should
by all means be informed and instructed
as to the nature of the amendments that
are imperatively needed for efficient and
economic municipal administration.
The magnitude Of the interests in
volved should impel the commercial
bodies and taxpayers generally to make
public declaration as to changes that
will meet their approval and changes

THE SYSTEM OF GRAZING LEASE!

THE SYSTEM OF GRAZING LEASES.
Any legislation for leasing the public
land to cattlemen in Nebraska and other
western states must be considered with
most %scrupulous regard to the public in
terest. The public land is the heritage
of the people and any disposition of it
in large quantities, whether by lease or
otherwise, should be jealousy made and
under the most careful safeguards for
the best ultimate results.
There is force in the view that i'm
mense tracts of western land still
owned by the government are not suited
for farming nor to be taken up in quar-
ter sections by home builders under ex-
listing land laws. Much Of it is of a
character and so situated that it will
not grow grain nor can 1t be irrigated.
This has been demonstrated time and
again by the failure of those who have
attempted general farming. AS was
fully developed by Investigations under
the Agricultural department, the only
use that can be made of this land is by
grazing its thin grasses, and it has to
be done by handling it in considerable
tracts.
These facts are well ascertained, but
they do not alter the further fact that
occupation and enclosure of the grazing
lands are in large part illegal. Many
Of the cattlemen have gone on in viola
ton of the law and 1t is unquestionable
that extensive frauds under the home
trated. There is no excuse or justifca-
ton for a situation that has been rife
with scandal, and certainly the time has
come when it ought to be finally wiped
out.
At present a strong disposition is man.
ifested to solve the question by inau-
gurating a system of grazing leases. If
1t is undertaken care must be taken to
impose such restrictions as will prevent
the exhaustion of the grasses and to
preserve the title safely for any future
contingencies that may arise, for 1t is
not easy to foresee all the uses that the
progress of agriculture may develop in
any particular kind of land. But the
most difficult thing to provide for will
be the securing of fair access for all to
the privileges Of grazing these lands.
The just complaint is that they have
been too much monopolized by a com
paratively few large companies, and no
system is wanted or should be tolerated
that will maintain or fortify such mo-
nopoly.
1t would be better to leave the law as
1t is, and to enforce it's provisions rig.

siderate and l~l-guarded changes to in.
