the remainder confine their attention to
Why don't they read
books and learn something?"
1t is true that many women neglect
TO read They do not appreciate the
privilege Of having newspapers. maga-
zines and books always easy of aces s.
In many instances they spend their en-
tire time in homework or dress. for
getting that a bright mind is even more
charming than a new dress or the
latest thing in coiffures

popular educator. 1t is the school for
adults and for children. The majority

newspaper takes up the task the school

phase of life. with every branch OF
knowledge. In plain. simple language
the latest discovery of science and the
newest device of the inventor are made
known. Literature. art and music re-
ceive their share of attention. and the
news OF the day, which is history in

Few women live who have not at

HELPFUL HINTS

The proper way 10 cleanse the teeth
is 70 brush from the gums downward
for the upper teeth. and from the gums
upward for the lower ones. BY these
means the interstices are thoroughi5-
cleaased. The inner portions of the
teeth require moro careful cleansing
than the outward portions. Dental floss
should be used in place of toothpicks.
Ii will be found much more ef-
fectual.
