Care of Teeth.

Simple neglect, more often than Ill

few persons have teeth the enamel OF

tho action of acids when such juices
closely surround them. They are so sur
rounded when one goes to bed without
first using toothbrush to dislodge par
ticles Of food that have gathered, more or
less, throughout the day.
Precautions which aid greatly to insure
good teeth are SO simple that there is no
excuse for any ones neglecting them
Brushes cost very little and plain water

powders are inexpensive. and a formula

Today William Howard Taft. the TWEEN
ty-seventh President of the United States.
celebrates the fifty-third anniversary Of
his birth. The fifty-three years that have
interviewed since first he opened his eyes
upon the light of day have been eventful
cones With the exception OF his remark
able predecessor, there has never been a
more picturesque career leading to the
White House than that of Mr.. Taft. His
childhood was spent much like that of tbs
ordinary American boy. His 01tire man
hood has been spent in the service of his
country in one capacity or another. The
last ten years of this Service have made
him the greatest official globe-trotter Of
all history, and he probably has set a
standard of official travelling that will re-
main the record for many years to come.
When he received his first appointment
as President of the Philippines commits
sion, and started on the journey to his
new post OF duty, he began a career
which in ten years has led him to travel
nearly 100000 miles. His first round trip
to the Philippines was completed by his
return to America in 1901 coming home
he cause of illness and to testify before the
committees of the Senate and House
In 1902 he returned to the Philippines
friar lands dispute with the Pope and the
college of cardinals In 1904 he came back
to America to accept the position of Sec
rotary of War, having practically two
circumnavigations of the globe to his
credit. He had no more than settled in
his chair in the War Department until af-
fairs at Panama called him there, where
he Strengthened out things with the Pana-
man government and with the canal
commission. In 1905 he carried the ia
nous party to the orient and the Philip
pines. and played Prince Cupid for Miss
Alice Roosevelt and Nicholas Longworth,
for Miss Mignon Critten and Swagar Sher-
ley, and perhaps, for others. In 1906
Cuba became rather obstreperous. and he
made his first trip to the island repub-
lie and to Porto Rico. The next year he
began his second circumnavigation of the
globe. going to the Philippines by way of
the Pacific, and returning through Asia
and Europe and across the Atlantic. In
1909 as Presdent-elect he made his Sec
ond trip to Panama. SO his forthcoming
trip there will be the third visit he has
made to the Canal Zone. All his travel
has served to give him the equal of nearly
two Recommendations of the globe every
year since he left the woolSack for service
in the executive branch of the govern
ment.

month. He resigned this position to re-
enter his fathers law Office. He had
come out Of school with high honors, hav
ing been salutatO of his class and lar-
ing been elected class orator because of
his good fellowship. Mr.. Taft is perhaps
the only President of the United States
who ever had practical training in a
newspaper Office. He was at one time
law reporter on his brothers paper, and
at another time held similar position on
the paper edited by the late Murat Hal
stead.
1t is a peculiar coincidence that the man
who is a possible opponent Of Mr. Taft
for the presidency in 1912 should have
created tine vacancy which led MIR. Taft to
the bench and from there to the presi-
dency Judson Harmon had been judge of
the superior court of Cincinnati and re-
signed his position. Joseph Benson For
aker was the Governor of Ohio at that
time and gave to Mr.. Taft his first ap-
pointment on the bench. Thus Is that
his most prominent personal opponent
and his leading political opponent were
concerned i'm this earliest step of Mr.. Taft
toward the presidency.
Mr.. Taft was not long in ONO poltics
before he gave some evidence of the spirit
which had made him the undisputed
wrestling champion at Yale A man who
had graduated into journalism from the
prize ring published what Mr. lait re-
garded as, scurrilous attack on his
father. Taft believed that a libel suit
would be to no purpose against such a
man, so he concluded to take justice into
his own hands. He met the man on the
street and asked him IL he had written the

Taft to grab the writer and throw him

Mr. Taft and all the other Tafts spent
