If You Would Have Pretty Teeth

Don't bestow less care upon the teeth
than upon complexion and hair.
Don't brush across the teeth, but up
and down; the upper teeth from the
gums downward, and the lower teeth
from the gums upward.
Don't go to bed without brushing the
teeth; for it is at night that the acid
of the saliva gets in its work on the
teeth.
Don't let tartar accumulate on the
teeth, for it brings a whole train of
evils in its wake. Have It removed by
a dentist at least once q year.
Don't use a tooth powder which con-
tains gritty acid or Irritating sub
stances.
Don't fail to rinse the teeth thorough
iy with an alkaline wash after taking
acids, such as lemon juice, vinegar, or
strong medicines.

" HE first hot rays of the early
summer sun play havoc with
+ the complexion, and the woman
who wants to retain a beautiful
skin, free from tan AMI freckles, must
begin TO take preventive measures early.
There are many salves and lotions
for removing these enemies of the sum-
mer beauty, but perhans it is worth
while to consider preventive measures
first. U
The average girl of todey likes the
out-of-door life and goes about bare
headed in the strong sun, and to some
fortunate ones this brings a healthy,
open@air complexion, with a most be-
coming shade of tan and no freckles
But to the less fortunate, it brings re-
suits that are not effective-skin red
as lobster or covered with large,
brown freckIas which never adds to
the appearance, even though it may
look healthy.
OF course, wearing a hat is a great
bother at times; but some of the sun
hats this year are creations of beauty,
and the summer girl will do well to
consider them. Suitable for country
walks, boating, etc, are large hats of
coarse straw or leghorn, bent into the
most bewitching shapes. and tied with
strings of broad ribbon and the old
fashioned sun-bonnets of null, in white,
pale pink or blue. are equally fascinat-
Ing. and can be comfortably worn even
when playing golf.
However, IL you scorn wearing a head
covering OF any sort, perhaps you will
not consider it too much trouble to pre-
pare the skin to resist the havoc which
is the result of exposure. Before going
out, battle the face with warm water.

Mrs. A. G. Kay very pleasantly
entertained a large company of her
lady friends on Saturday afternoon of
last week. The guests were given
slips upon which was written the name
of an animal and were in turn required
to draw the same upon blackboard.
So life like were these drawings that
they were guessed readily in every
instance; many of the ladies showed
unusual skill, equal to the best
cartoonists.
A game of "Who takes the cake"
was also INDUCED in, all questions
were answered by the name of a cake.

STATE SSUES-GIRL'S
REFoRMATORY.

While the people of the state are
directing their attention to railroad
legislation and other matters of
nation wide and statewide i'm
portance it should not be forgotten
that there was anolher matter IN
which the people of the state were
deeply interested and to which the
attention of the last Legislature was
frequently called by petition and
otherwise, but in which there was
nothing really accomplished and
that is the establishment of a girls
reformatory.
The people of Minnesota are
almost unanimous in the opinion
that girls reformatory should be
established. Everyone who has
had any experience in these matters
knows that the best results cannot
be obtained when girls and boys
with criminal tendencies are kept
in the same institution, no matter
how rigid the discipline or how
carefully they are separated. Min
nesota is behind other states in the
same rank in this matter. The
only objection that has been made
against the establishment of such
an institution is the expense but a
majority of the citizens believe that
anything that tends to the improve
ment of the morality Of the state is
cheap no matter how much it costs.
1t is idle to discuss this question;
the people believe:

CUT 1T OUT.

Some misguided writer's in the
dailies have taken it upon them
selves to criticise Governor Johnson
for his attendance on the various
county fairs or as they sneeringly
term them "The Pumpkin Shows
held in various parts of the state
this fall, and there are some few
country papers that draw their
inspiration from the city dailies
aforesaid whose original ideas are
as scarce as their subscribers, who
take up the refrain.
AS matter of fact these 'sPump-
kin Shows" have done more to
advance the agricultural interests
of this state than all the fast-horse,
high-wire, trained-dog, guideless-
wonders, Dan Patch, fire works,
hippodromes that have been held at
Hamline since the institution of
the state fair. These 'sPumpkin
Raisers" who give these "Pumpkin
Shows" are the men that have
placed Minnesota in the very front
rank of states. They are the ones,
and not the railroad builders,
wholesale jobbers and lumber
barons, that have made our state
what it is and have made it possible
for the millionaires to accumulate
their millions and if they want the
governor of the state to appear at
their Pumpkin Shows it is his
duty to attend if he can do so
without neglecting the duties he
was elected to perform. 1t is the
duty of the governor to make him
self intimately acquainted with the
citizenry and resources of the state
over whose destinies he presides,
and in no way can he better do this
than by attending the pumpkin
Shows" that are annually held in
the various counties. tits the duty
