Care Of ChlIdren,s Teeth.

The Lancet, in a strong plea foi
better care of the teeth of English chill,
dren, which, it says. rs a matter Of
the first Importance to the country
declares that tooth brush drill is OF
little value when carried out during
school hours; to be Of value it must
be carried out at the proper times, the
most important Of all being the last
thing before going to rest" This med.
zeal authority thinks, also, that "a well
organized crusade throughout the
country on the Importance of the teeth
and the technique of their proper care
would be followed in a generation by
an immense Improvement in the health
OF the nation, and, from the point Of
view Of the combatant services, by an
enormous decrease In the percentage
OF recruits rejected for defective
teeth"

Left-overs.
There Is a prejudice in the minds Of
many people that anything warmed
over or served the second time is OBJ
jectionable. There are rare house
keepers who are able to make ends

or supper from the leftover of the

may with careful, handling be trans
formed into salads, creamed and

numerous ways Of serving them.

food, must be bought and prepared

Soups Without Meats.

Soups Without Meats.
In these days of high prices we
must use every means to have a good
meal with a small expenditure. Soup
starts a meal we'll and there are
legion that may be prepared very
cheaply. The object of taking soup
at the beginning of a meal is to warm,
stimulate and prepare the stomach for
the heavier meal that is to follow.
The clear beef soups are valuable only
as to warmth and stimulation. Cream
soups are a food, and are only served
when the dinner or meal to follow is
a light one.
Cream of Corn Soup.-Take a can
of corn, q quart of milk and a grated
onion; cook together until we'll heat
ed; add a binding of a tablespoonful
Of butter and flour cooked together,
and added to the soup. Season with
salt and pepper, put through a sieve,
reheat and erv
Potato soup is one that is most
appetizing. Use two or three potatoes,
cook until tender with a slice Of
onion, put through a sieve, add a quart

Clear Tomato Soup.-Add a pint of
water to a quart of stewed tomatoes,
a slice of onion, salt, a sprig of eel
cry and a little red pepper and a bay
leaf. Cook two tablespoonfuls of but
ter with two tablespoonfuls of flour
and add to the soup; strain and serve
with croutons.
Mock Oyster Soup.-Scrape IL good
sized roots of the oyster plant or

Spinach and asparagus make very
wholesome soups, also onion and cab
bage. Celery makes a soup of delicate
flavor and may be made of the parts
of the celery too coarse to serve in

water and n pint OF milk, season

lite as large as a small cabin could be
lodged on top Of a mountain when
there Is no similar rock within a hum
dred miles or more, we must trace it's
history back to a time at least 20O,O 900
years ago., when the geologic period
called the tertiary was drawing to it's
close.
The first fact to attract our atten-
ton. could we have taken a birdseye
view OF the northern part of our con-
t!nent at that time, would be its great
er extent than at present. Looking
eastward we would see the shoreline
extending in places a hundred miles
beyond the shoreline of today, and in
vain would we scan for the islands,
bays and reaches that now lend such
enchantment to our picturesque coast.
Northward the land probably stretch
ed unbroken over the present arctic
archipelago, and connected on the
east by way Of Greenland, Iceland and
the Scandinavian peninsula with Eu-
rope and on the west by closing Of
Boring strait with Asia.
This circumstance had a very impor-
tant bearing on the fauna Of that day,
as 1t enabled the animals from the n
continent to cross to the other. Ma
king a closer inspection of the land
scape beneath us, we would be sur
prised at the total absence of the
smaller lakes that now are its most
characteristic feature. Even the great
lakes were missing, with the possible
exception of Lake Superior, while in
the valleys in which these latter now
lie flowed rivers belonging to one
or more systems.
The mountain groups Of today we
would recognize at once, notwithstand-
Ing their somewhat more rugged out
line, and the same would be true in
the case Of the rivers. While we
would see a number Of them in
strange courses, the master streams
we would know at first glance. For
millions Of years these had been cut,
ting their channels undisturbed, until
at the close Of the tertiary a new i'm
petus was impaired to them, owing to
the recent rise of land and the ever
increasing humidity of the climate.
So we would probably see them tur-
bulent and swollen and the sides Of
their water courses often precipitous
and Jagged, overhung in places by
great lodges and loose blocks readily
dislodged by the least force!
The climate over the whole CONT
inent was semitropical, or at least tenn
lperate, and such plants as the big and
great red woods of California grew as
far north as Greenland and Iceland.
And through the almost endless woods
OF the north roamed herds of masto-
don and other herbivore of great size,
together with such beasts of prey as
the now extinct sa~ber-toothed tiger.
But we find no trace of man.
Over this strange and magnificent
world the ice swept down so suddenly,
as geologic time is reckoned, that
most of the then existing animal and
plant forms, pushed south before it's
advance, had not time enough to adapt
themselves to their new environment.
n therefore became greatly altered
or exterminated.
AS yet there has been no good rea-
son assigned for a change that in a
comparatively short time transformed
the semitropical climate into that Of
Greenland Of today. Probably a com.
binatfon Of circumstances brought It
about. .,..

PRACTICAL FEEDING

One of the subjects connected with
poultry raising that cannot be repeat
ed too often, is the subject of feeding
Even the breed is sometimes placed
secondary to feeding. All of our do
mestic animals have come from the
wild state. In their wild state, fowls
live upon seeds, worms and bugs, and
green stuff of some kind. When we
make the fowl a domestic animal and
pen it within fences, we must supply
these same foods in some form or
another.
Chickens are hearty feeders; the crop
at night should be comfortably full,
but not stretched nor hard. Much OF
what they eat, they are supposed to
have scratched for as the exercise is
necessary to keep them in good con-
dition. 81 haven't scratched yet,
could be said only by the chick com
ing from the shell.
The selection and amount of food re-
quired must be determined by eXper-
ience. The amount and the kinds OF
foods that would keep a Leghorn fat
and healthy, might prove too much for
a Plymouth Rock. 1t is what chicken
digests and uses and not what she
puts into her crop, that makes the
flesh and eggs. A little study OF condl-
tions and observations together Will
soon show what the daily rations
should be. After deciding on the kinds
of food and the quantity, then feed
regularly. You cannot give enough to
last two days; the feed must come
at regular hours.
AS a rule, the fault lies more in over
feeding than in underfeeding, especial
ly where there is a limited number,
which are apt to be family pets. Either
too much or too little is bad for the
fowls A hen for instance, may have
enough to nourish her body, but not
enough for egg material. The fowls
first food naturally goes to building
UP the waste of the body and it is only
when waste tissues are repaired, that
food goes to the making of eggs or of
fat. In connection with practical feed
ing, practical drinking must not be
forgotten. Give plenty of clean, fresh
water.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-13
HEALTHY FOWLS IN THE BREED
ING PEN

To have healthy fowls in the breed
ing pen and to know just how to keep
them so is learned as a rule in the
school of long experience. But feW
facts learned by successful poultry
breeder who has graduated from this
same school are always worth knowing.
First, start right. In selecting fowls
for the breeding pen he discards all
fowls that are sick as well as those
who have ever been sick, retaining the
strong, hardy birds of vigorous ances-
tors.
He discountenances inbreeding, be-
cause he knows it deterorates the
stock He never overcrowds. There are
no crowded tenement houses, So to
speak, as he knows that is not good
for the health and happiness of his
birds. Moreover close quarters induce
all sorts of bad habits such as feather
pulling and egg eating, etc.
There must be plenty of fresh air,
which is impossible in crowded quar-
ters. There must be a constant sup
ply of fresh air circulating, and ar
ranged without drafts. The scratching
sheds, too, are roomy and are heavily
Uttered, as the red combs, which indi-
cate the best health, come from the
activity, which Scratching for her liv-
ing" brings.
AS TO preceding ne uses mature Stoch'
This insures strength from the begin
ming. In feeding he feeds generously
and regularly. Fowls grow accustomed
to the feeding hour and will stand
around waiting for their feed at the
regular hour, so see to it that they get
it. The successful breeder feeds also
the best foods, which must be pure and
clean.
Cleanliness is the watchword all
through. The roosts must be kept
clean; the atmosphere is kept clean;
the drinking vesseds and food troughs
are all kept clean. Attention to ali
these points insure a strong, vigorous
race of any breed. No breed, even If
sturdy to start with, can stand neglect
or ill-treatment There seems to be no
logical reason for believing that one
variety is more vigorous than another.
