For Pretty Teeth.

"a pearl in the mouth is worth two
on the neck" is an up-to-datc adage
which women would do well to ponder
over. A woman of many charms will
often fail of impression if her teeth
are not d~elicately clean and whole.
There are many factors which go to
determine the s%oundness of ones
teeth, but none more potent than that
of use. Good vigorous action is neces-
sary in order that a supply of blood
NAV be called to the teeth to nourish
them. says Woman's Life. Give a nus
Gle no exercise and the veriest novice
knows it will get soft. Give the teeth
no work and they become chalky and
an easy prey to decay. Toe much
cooking Of food and the use of soft,
prepared dishes have had much to do
with getting people out of the habit
Of chewing. Those who live on coarse
foods requiring thorough mastication
have the perfect teeth of animals,
white and hard and eve The blood
SIMPLY is perfect on account of the
stimulation given by thorough exercise
of the jaws.

THEIR LIVES
A Beautiful Testimony to the Power
of a Religion Lived in
the House.

There was once a family in my church.
writes Rev. Louis Albert Banks, who
required the services of a woman of a
good deal of strength to care for the
grandmother, who was helpless, and had
to be lifted about a good deal. On this
account they were compelled to change
help frequently, because no woman
could stand the drain on her vitality
for more han six months at a time. |
noted that every girl who came to work
for them was converted.
When this happened the third time, l
asked the young woman what it was
that caused her to decide for Christ.
She said:
1T is this way: l have been saying to
myself for several years that, if could
ever see a family that lived in the
Christian spirit, l would become a
Christian. Well, l came to this place.
and from the first thing in the morning
till the last thing at night, in the con-
duct of the husband and wife toward
each other, in the relation of the
daughter to her parents, and in the re-
lation of each of them to me there was
about it all something so kind, so con-
siderate, and so Christian that | felt
that | must go back on my promise to
myself or at once become a Christian"
That is the kind of Christian testi-
mony | like to see.-Ram's Horn.

CONCERNING
What Features Are at. the Moment
Noticeable in the Negligee Gar
ment Worn by My Lady.

All the new tea gowns begin to show
full puffs at the shoulders and this has
a tendency to make the figure look a
great deal broader. The full shoulder
puff is something welcomed back By
every woman and it is very likely that,
by Easter, every gown will show a trace
of shoulder puff. The Easter shades in
negligees are interesting.
There are distinct negligee or tea
gown colors. And among these a be
mentioned onion skin, red-currant and
apricot. These are very pretty tones
and are much less delicate than the pale
tones. They are suited to house wear
and they are cheerful.
Il make it a point" said a woman who
makes many tea gowns, ito select cheer
full colors, for one must remember that
the gown is to be worn indoors by sub
dued light. The new tones are pansy
color and terra Gotta, which is having
brown and there is iron gray which is
good combined with red. The most i'm
portant feature for a tea gown is its
color. 1t must be well chosen or the
gown is never successful.
After the color comes the material,
this one can recommend the oriental
silks, If n is choosing a dressy tea
gown, or the silk poplins. And last of all
m the style and the fit"
The successful tea gowns of domes-
tic make show a variety of style. But
all have large sleeves with plenty OF
material in them. There is the robe
which is loose in the front and fitted in
the back and which is trimmed up the
front breadth with little ruffles of
Valenciennes lace. The back is sweep
ing in its length and is trimmed with
a sash or with deep fiounces.
There is a style of tea gown which has
the dressy look Of a handsome robe of
the Elizabethan days and again of the
1840 days. There is the bodice with it's
long train, while in the front there is a
petticoat beneath which her little Slip
pered feet peep out.
The gown and petticoat style is one
which appeals to women who enjoy pic
turesque dressing. And it is a style
which can be adapted to gowns for either
day or evening, though it is more appro-
pirate to day gowns. The petticoat is.
of course, a petticoat only in name, for
the material must be elegant and the
style exquisite, while the finish, the
trimming and the length are all of the
most admirable quality. 1t is not a util-
ity petticoat.

HI KINDLY LIFE.
It Is a Living Expression of Chris
tianity and Sheds Benedic-
ton on All About.

One of the doctrines which make I'M
the simple life" which bring us near
er to the truth of existence, is that of
everyday kindness. A New York
clergyman, Pastor E.. P. Marvin, strik-
lngly emphasizes the Importance OF
this by observing that if people would
think and feel, speak and act as kind
ly in everyday life as we do at
funerals we should have something
very like Heaven on earth. If we could
only appreciate each other as fully in
life as in death how much the aggre-
gate of human misery would be dimin-
ished and the comfort of living in this
mundane situation increased. 'Give
me the flowers now and you need not
Marvin.
A philosopher has pointed out that
one of the truest signs of a narrow
and deficient nature is the ability to
perceive the weaknesses of others.
Certainly it is a precious Christian
grace and a token of great excellence.
says the st. Louis Republic, to discoy-
er and appreciate excellence in our
fellow-beings. By the exercise of this
comfortable and comforting propens-
ity we bless The living, create precious
memories of The dead, and avoid many
bitter and %unavailing. regrets-we
lubricate the machinery of life; we
exalt the business of living; we give it
a happy tone, an irresistible spirit, in
fluence and stimulus of good.
Civility is an expression of kindness;
the civility which is deserving the
name. And were all men civil we
should lead A royal life. The express
sion of kindness is a royal law strong
er for human good than many a cold
decree of state. Good humor is a
valuable possession to the individual;
it is invaluable to a business; for a ma
ton it is almost better than a consti-
tuition.

A Rank Injustice.

During recent examinations OF
the privilege tax laws of Mississippi
j. N. Flowers, assistant attorney
general, has discovered wherein
many home concerns are subjected
to gross discrimination, and he be-
lieves that the law in this respect
should be thoroughly amended at
the next session Of the legislature.
For instance, wholesale houses with
in the State are required to pay
privilege taxes in the counties where
they do business, but similar houses
located outside the State pay no
such taxes, escaping therefrom on
the ground that such taxes would be
a violation of the interstate com
merce laws.

when Gentleman Precedes.

A gentleman should always allow a
,adv to precede him in going through a
door-of course this is held open for
her-in going up or down stairs, and, in
fact. in almost every instance. At the
theater the gentleman lets the lady pass
in first. He steps ahead until he secures
the programmes and passes the
for the seats to the usher. Then
the lady takes the lead, following the
usher. and the man follows. II no usher
is at hand he leads the way down the

lows the lady to the pew.

Faith.

A captive faith is no faith at all. A
captive ascension is an ascension with
q string to it. But a faith with a lariat
is not faith. When it is tied to earth.
or to any material thing, it cannot rise
into the atmosphere where God is.
Faith, with too many, is a make-believe.
It seems to rise. but does not. 1t is
tethered fast to some stake of gold
driven into the earth and beyond the
short tether it annot rise. True faith
has no guy ropes. 1t rises heavenward,
.rusting itself implicitly to God, and
Ill it's attitudes and visions are with
aim.-United Presbyterian.

There are two shelves within and these

When the top and front are both

two small hooks at either end, OF by a
little catch at the middle of the lower
