objected to some of his decisions and he

USES OF PAXTINE

Do you know how useful
Paxtine is in the toilet?
1t is a perfect dentifrice, as
it makes natural teeth like
pearls, and for cleansing and
purifying artificial teeth and
bridge-work it is invaluable.
1t keeps the breath sweet,
the mouth and throat in perfect
health, and we never saw its
equal for healing catarrhal
conditions of nose and throat.

The happiest households are those
that do not let die out the sentiment

such events In suitable way may be
out of the question owing to the
strained circumstances Of those with

air of festivity when mothers or ia
Tiers birthday comes round or some
wedding anniversary is to be celebra-
ted, says the Brooklyn Times. An ex-
ira dish. little bunch OF flowers or
some special music prepared for the
occasion will show the kindly spirit
and the loving remembrance that
count far more than the money value
of any gift. AS the children grow up
If these festivities are encouraged
they will have much to look forward
to and much more to remember In the

Crows are not nearly so numerous

In summer. says st. Nicholas. Yet
many Of them gain q living by picking
up the grains Of corn that have fallen
from the freight cars and been scat

cannot long exist without water, they
also ind much food on the river banks
and along the spring runs when the
snow is deep. No other bird will bet
ter reward close observation. 'the
study Of his language alone being an
endless source of amusement and in
