der your dentist recommends. Once a
year at least have the dentist scrape
or cleanse the tartar and discoloration
from your teeth.
A foolish fad is one lately for "bleach-
ing" the teeth, as it is called. Don't do
it. 1t Injuries the teeth, and in time
they again become discolored as badly
as ever. Just keep them clean and
take care of your health. Our dentists
have evolved white porcelain filing
that promises to supersede the gold
filings.
Children's teeth should be looked aft
er closely in the growing stage. Crook

teeth mar sometimes the whole beauty
of girls face, Or Il mans either, for
that matter. Watch your children's
teeth, and il there is tendency to alb
normality in their growth consult the
best dentist you know of and have the
corrected.
Let none grudge the money paid to
a skillful dentist. 1t is far better to
have pretty mouth than to have cost

Beautiful Hair.

1t can only be said over and again
that to have fine hair it must be kept
clean. Dingy, ''gummy" hair is an
unspeakable horror. The first duty of
those who have the care of the shining
coats Of blooded horses is to remove
from them all dust. Let us take a les.
son from THIS. Even the longest.
heaviest hair should be washed once q
month. A pure soap and abundance of
hot soft water, with plenty Of rubbing
of the scalp, are all that one needs.
The soap must be entirely rfhsed out
of the hair, and it must afterward be
thoroughly died.
Massage Of the scalp is admirable,
To perform 1t run your finger tips into
your hair and press them firmly ,r,en
the scalp. Then, without letting them
slip, gently work the skin beneath them
around and around with spiral action.
Keep this up from time to time till the
skin of your head will move freely to
the touch over any part OF the skull
This promotes growth Of the hair.

Hlsnts a. to the Care Of the Skin.
Teeth and Hair.
The woman with good complexion,
even, well cared for teeth and neatly
kept hair can never be uncomely. All
these are within reach Of every wom-

be hopelessly plain. Even with irregu-
lar features a woman's face may al
ways beam with good temper and in
telligence if she SO wills 1t and takes
pains to acquire these graces.
To have a good complexion absolute
cleanliness of the skin is necessary. SO
that it can be unclogged in doing its
work Of throwing off waste matter. You
can tell the moment you set eyes upon
a persons face. neck and ears whether
the individual keeps the skin clean. The
perfectly kept skin has FURNISHED. al

through it and gives it real radiance
