walk, stepped on the loose plank and it
flew up, striking Mrs. Bauer. She fell

How tn Brusb the Teeth

The teeth should not be brushed
from side to side. If this is done the
points of the gum will be injured,
and the teeth loosened. The upper
teeth should be brushed from the top
downward (from the gums to the ends
of the teeth, the lower teeth from
the bottom upward, also from the
gums to the extremity of the teeth.

Scratched Furniture.

A good way to remove scratches
from furniture is to use ~pulverized
pumice stone. Rubb it on to the mar
red surfaces with a soft flannel rag
that has first been wet in crude or
raw linseed oil. Apply briskly until
the scratches disappear, then rub with
the linseed oil alone until the surface
comes to a polish.

Criminologists recognize children's

MARRIED LIZ CAN BE MADE HAPPY.
By Mary A. Liyer11ore,

A happy marriage does not depend upon
good health and good habits alone. Unless on
both sides there are well grounded respect and
love, uniting the twain in oneness of sympathy
and purpose, the marital union will lack the
completeness and blessedness of which it is
capable. Sorrows and trials are sure to be expe-
rienced. Illness, disappointments, poverty, with

sources, enter into the lives of married people, even VIXEN
they are guarded against most carefully. All the re-
sources of love and sympathy will be needed to bear them
patience, forbearance, faith in each other, good nature,
poIiteness, and kindness. Married people should from the
start cultivate that habit of looking at the brightest side
of things which DR.. Johnson has pronounced worth a
thousand pounds a year
The greatness of a nation is not made by its vast
wealth, nor yet by its impregnable Notifications and its
trained soldiery. The greatness of a nation is made by
its true men and women, who have been well born in
good homes, where they have been carefully fashioned
into a lofty type of manhood and womanhood. This is
the large intent Of marriage, which is not alone the
cradle of the human race, but the crown as we'll, and
should be the symbol of a marriage that shall be i'm
mortal.

 Those who are familiar with the his tory of water litigation in this valley for the last fifteen years will readily understand why it will be necessary to tie the farmers of the Salt River val ley down on November to keep them from voting for Ainsworth: why the tiIlers of the soil are lying awake nights in feverish impatience because the election day is so far off.
