four entire days the Moslems assailed
ing the places OF those who reeled back
defeated. On the fifth day of the as
sault. Oct IA, Solyman gave up the
attempt to crush Vienna. He with
drew sulenly from the scene Of his de-
feat. leaving 5000 dead Turks on the
field. The price of conquest was for
once too high for him.
Vienna was saved. and not only VI
emma. but Europe. Vienna had been
Europe's barrier against the Turks
farther advance. and the barrier held
firm. The northern limit Of Europe's
Turkish raids was reached.
Once more. In later years. Vienna
was besieged by the Moslems, and she
again beat them of The high tide
of such invasion had come and reced-
ed. Europe at large was now forever
secure from this long dreaded foe.
In the moment of victory, according
TO the account. the bakers who had
given the alarm were not forgotten.
To commemorate the event they and
their descendants thenceforth nodded
their rolls into the shape OF a crescent
(the sacred emblem OF Turkey. The
custom prevails to this day.
Few Americans who are used to see
ing crescent shaped Vienna rolls have
any idea how such rolls first came to
be thus twisted nor what great deed
the crescent form commemorates.-Chi-

Too Much Toothbrush.

1t is possible to err In the direction
OF q too free use OF the toothbrush
''Once a day for three minutes is suf-
ficient," writes a dentist in the Fam
ny Doctor OF London Even in using
a toothbrush once a day it Is better
not to rub it directly across the sur.
face OF the teeth. but to slant it, hold
ing the point down so that 1t cleans
the spaces between the teeth as well
as the front Of the teeth and removes
the full force OF the contract from the
teeth l have had many patients who
have literally rubbed the enamel from
their teeth by the excessive use OF Q
brush. The average person uses O
brush too much and not too little. In
addition to being careful with the
brush. II IS also important to see that
the bristles are soft and not hard
Tooth powder should be used only
once q day"

Man Who Drew IL.
An amusing practical joke which
was played by a Canadian farmer on
a party Of motorcar tourists is descrtb'
ed In Suburban Life. The farmer had
drawn n diagram TO show the automo-
bilists how TO proceed through the lit
tie known country,
For Eve miles" writes the author
OF the article, I'VE followed the coun-
tryman's diagram and then came to
d piece Of road which was atrooious.
We climbed over stumps and in and out
OF ruts and gulleys. Grass grew In the
middle of this road showing how lit.
tie It was used At last we saw ahead
a little house Just at the edge of the
woods. We felt sure we were or the
night road and decided to make In
quiries at the house.
Great was our surprise upon drawing
up IN front of the house to find our
countryman. his wife and several chill
dreu out IN the middle of the road to
meet US. They all looked at the car
with wondering eyes. and the smallest
child hung to her mothers skirts and
howled with fright The other chill
dren fed TO the house and peeked OUT
Of the window.
Our friend the countryman said:
We'll. most run my horse to death TO
get here before you did. i wanted the
kids 10 be sure and see this crittef-
They never saw one before. I'm much
obliged TO you. and now II you want
the right road you'll have to pull back
two miles to the road where you turn
ed in and go straight aheadr"
