The drowsy chirp of the Early Bird
Lo. a twig that lies beneath his eyes
OF a sudden appears to squirm!
And there comes from under his very

A faint fine sound that can't repeat
The voice of the Early Worml
And the glade is stiller than still can be,
It thought of the coming tragedy.

New Ways to WhIten Teeth.

Up-to-date dentists have several
new wrinkles for whitening and pol.
ishing the teeth.
One Of these is to first dip the brush
into salty water and then apply the
powder which should be of the finest
quality. After three or four minutes
brushing rub little dry salt over the
teeth, and in time they will become
perceptibly whittier. If you want to
have teeth like polished ivory, take a
piece Of chamois skin, dip it in lemon
Juice and rub the teeth until they are
hot to the touch.

with themselves that because their

in other words they must be starved.
II would be just as sensible for a
business man who is unable to do all
