CARE OF THE TEETH

treated with q medium brush and salt
water i'm place OF any powder or wash.
The best brush obtainable does not
cleanse as effectively as the dental
silk floss, which should be drawn be-
tween the teeth at least once daily,
thus removing the tiny particles OF
food there lodged. An occasional rims
ing of the mouth with a weak solution
of listerine is excellent.
IN addition be careful not to use your
teeth rashly DO not bite hard candy
or nuts. Have the tartar removed
from them at frequent intervals, as its
accumulation loosens the teeth from
the gums.

ABOUT PLEADED SKIRTS

Accordion pleated skirts, tucked skirts

tucked and trimmed on the hounces, and
the upper part OF the skirt is either left
plain or is in very narrow tucks. All
skirts are supposed to fit closely over tho
hips, but. as is usual in all styles. there
are d number Of exaggerated gowns that
are most unbecoming, for while 1t was IN

was never intended in the original model
that there should not be plenty Of ma

latest melodramatic production which
comes to the Grand Opera House on
Saturday afternoon and night we'll
recommended. is Rainbow, the Indian
girl, played by Alberta Lee, who for
five years was with "The Girl / Left
Behind Me" Company. The impetu-
Gus nature Of this little maid of the
forest reveals itself when she befriends
the sweetheart of the hero, though
deeply in love with him herself. but,
when after saving both of their lives
aud aiding to unite them. they pass her
by unheeded all the Jealous fire Of her
Indian soul is kfndled. Needless of all
else but their new found JOY, Bob and
Jess are not aware of the injustice they
have done their little friend, and Bob
leaves Jess to the care of the Indian
girl. During his absence, Rainbow and
Jess quarrel and terminate 1t i'm a
desperate battle; Rainbow is the victor
and she spares the life of her pale
faced rival, shows her the way to re-
turn safely to Bob and then attempts
to kill herself but is prevented from
doing so by Jess; this strange affair is
ended i'm a genuine feminine hug, and
sealed with a forgiving kiss. The
scene is said to be one Of great inter-
est and admirably played by Ruth
Rouck and little Miss Lee.
