Care of the Teeth

PROM infancy to old age teeth are a
constant source of trouble to most
of US. and no other feature gives great
er cause for anxiety to the would be
beauty. Given care, she may rest as
sured of good complexion, her hair is
not likely to turn white in a single
night" but of her teeth she can never
feel sure. Modern science has done
much for the art of dentistry. but no
matter how good and perfect false
teeth may be they never look or feel
like those the good Lord gives us.
In childhood much can be done to
improve the teeth. and the first set
should be carefully attended to. Too
many parents are neglectful in this re-
spect. Teeth which overlap or are not
quite straight can be improved by the
wearing of a plate. Every three
months a child's mouth should be ex-
amined by a dentist, and grownupe
should have his attention every six
months In this way much expense
and pain are saved, for at the first
| signs of decay small gold filing will
often save a tooth for the remainder of
ones life.
Although defects in the shape and
setting of teeth cannot be remedied
after a person is full grown. the color
of the teeth can be improved by care
! full attention and a conscientious
| cleansing night and morning and
when possible after meals. A reliable
| tooth powder should be used at night
( and if desired in the morning but dur
| ing the day clear warm water is all that
! is necessary. When the teeth show
any signs of accommodating tartar It
should be promptly removed with mag
| nesta sprinl<led upon a toothbrush
previously dipped In warm water. The
teeth should be rubbed afterward with
very little powdered pumice, used
about once a month, but not oftener.
In brushing the teeth 1t should be
borne in mind that the inside of both
! the top and bottom rows must be given
as much attention as the outside. The
! brush should be used downward on the
upper teeth and upward on the lower.
! so as to press the gums down over the
teeth and not from them. Care should
be taken to pass the bristles between
| each tooth.

HAPPY FUTURE IN STORE FOR
HIM

Here is a sensible mans views of the
sort of woman he would like to marry:
I'm afraid I don't care for the one
sided woman. My wife is certainly not
going to be too strong minded, and you
can bet a large sum she is not going
to be bit masculine, but she's going
to have plenty of interests and avoid
a rut as she would the smallpox The
little woman whose only thought is hus-
band and babies and how the dinner
turns out may be all very nice in a
short story, but I'd rather come home
to find out that my wife had been to a
club or to a suffrage meeting or an
aeronaut meet than to discover after
twenty years of marriage that she had
fallen hundred miles behind my men
tai and spiritual development. When
marry it shall be for a companion
not for a household ornament or a
family drudge"

uPHoLsrERY TRIMMINGS.

The latest fashionable stunt is
hunting for dress trimmings in the
upholstery departments of Shops" said
a gownmaker recently. TITS a queer
idea, but effective things can be picked
up by the clever woman in these
places" Remnants of tapestry to be
found at the upholstery counter are
rich in suggestion to the woman who
knows. One such woman not long ago
purchased a quarter of a yard Of silk
and wool tapestry of a pattern that
could be easily cut into separate me
dallions for trimming. When these
medallions were couched around with
heavy silk and applied to black chif-
fon cloth waist and hand embroidery
in the same shade used as a connect
ing link between the medallions the ef-
feet was that Of solid handwork.

A HOUSEWIVES SECRET.

Never put white clothing away in q
closet drawer, for it will very soon be-
come yellow.
Place it carefully away wrapped in
blue paper or even a dark blue cloth,
and it will come out looking as white
as ever it was, no matter how long it
lies.
To whiten clothes that have become
yellow steep them overnight in luke
warm water and in the morning wash
them in clean soapsuds; then put them
in the boiler with some bits of soap
and a teaspoonful of powdered borax.
Boil for twenty minutes, rinse immedi-
ately and let them lie for another night
in clean cold water to which a little
borax has been added.

How to Train Boys

livery true man." Milton says. was
born a knight" Mothers can train
their boys in their attitude toward
their sisters and themselves in ways
which later on in polite society they will
have TO practice toward all women
for instance, to give up the favor1te
book or toy or comfortable chair to the
little sister, to carry her schoolbooks
for her and to step aside and let her
enter a room first and to give in to her
within reason because he Is a boy and
the stronger. Another courtesy often
more observed in the breach than in
the observance by boys is the raising
of their hats to feminine members of
the family when they meet them
abroad. All these polite acts can be
so instiiled into a boy that they be-
come second nature to him.
mother should teach and encour-
age her boys and girls to be everything
to one another. In large families it
often happens that each boy selects
one sister as his special friend. He
confides to her all his troubles and
secrets and shares with her all his
treats. When his school days begin
and the boy goes off to school the sis
ter is apt to become less Of conf
dant. 1t is here that mothers in
huence should come in. She should
encourage the sister at home to write
regularly to her brother, and, above all,
she should teach her that on her de-
ponds largely her brothers future ideal
Of womanhood. Therefore she must
never lower herself by word or deed In
her brothers eyes.
Foolish and thoughtless indulgence
results in utter seIhshness and a want
OF courtesy and chivalry to women
later on in life.
"A man is what a woman makes him"
Is the old saying, and a mothers won
derful shaping hands and heart of love
can mold a boy into the manhood Of
Sir Galahad, whose strength was as
the strength of ten because his heart
was pure"

rich blue and black. Deep sea blue,
night blue and royal blue and several
purple shades which are as much blue
as purple are modish. And in invisi-
bic checks velvet is also to the fore.
Velvet is used in combination with
the f1lmiest fabrics. At an opening re-
Gently where imported gowns were
shown there was dinner costume with
the upper part of white lace over satin
and the deep band of the skirt, that
drew in the fullness Of the lace, of
black velvet. The velvet was shaped
to the waist line in sort of draped

the front of the skirt, which lay on the
floor

There are predictions rife that vel
vets are being so freely used for new
costumes that a little later on in the
season this fabric will be hard to get.
AS it is, manufacturers have all they
can do to keep up with their orders.
Velvet and velveteen and a new vel
vetina, soft and pliable as real velvet,
are used for suits, for boots. for hats
and for trimmings throughout the en-
tire wardrobe. The velvet sunshade
was one of the precursors of the style
as far back as last July. The long
black scarf lined with satin is another
craze.
That a season of great richness in
feminine apparel is with us needs no
telling when velvet. satin and fur are
as prominent as they already are.

WHEN mEND,Ne STOCKINGS.

It is a good plan before using to hold
darning wool for a minute or two over
the spout of kettle of boiling water
and then let 1t dry. This shrinks the
wool, and when the stockings are
washed there is no fear of the mending
part shrinking or tearing away from
the surrounding parts.
Stockings will last much longer, too,
if darning wool is run through the toes
and heels before they are worn. The
same idea holds good in case of cotton
darning materials.

STRIPES IN MILLINERY.

New modes of using stripes-black

material is generally satin, and it may
serve as the outer covering of a hat or
as a facing or a border for wide
brim. A stunning model in toque shape
is made entirely of striped black and

rose colored velvet ribbon. Many bows

CASE YESTERDAY
Margarito CandeIaria Admits
Responsibility for death of
ReIiciano AItavarre and Trial
Is Ended Abruptly,

The trial of the case of the Terri
tory VS.. margarine Candelaria, charg-
ed with the murder of Feliciano Alta
varre, on October 29, 1910, which was
taken up in the district court yester-
day afternoon, vas ended abruptly
shortly after 5 o'clock when Candel-
aria, after a conference with his coun-
sci, Attorney w. c. Heacock, was
given permission by the court to en-
ter a plea OF guilty Of murder in the
second degree. Candelaria was in
dicted on a first degree charge. The
prosecution had completed its case
yesterday afternoon, five witnesses
having testified that Candelaria
struck Altavarre with a track wrench,
without any provocation. The injur,
les sustained by Altayarre proved
fatal forty-eight hours afterwards.
Candelaria was arrested immediately
after the trouble occurred and never
denied the murder. His defense was
that he had a quarrel with q man
whom he believed to be Altavarre and
it was owing to a case of mistaken
identity that he struck the wrong
man.
The track wrench with which
Candelaria struck Altavarre was eX-
hibited in court yesterday n two
of the witnesses demonstrated how
the blows were delivered. The wrench
Is some three feet long ana weighs
about fifty pounds.
Candelaria will probably be sent
enced by the court at the end of the
week.
