It is only within the past few years
that we have begun to appreciate the
necesity OF clean mouth. True, We
brush our teeth. and make occasional
visits to the dentist. but the absolute
necessity of a clean mouth as a pre-
ventfve OF disease has not been i'm
pressed upon US, until recent times
Now We know that often 1t occurs
that a person may take medicine for
years for an internal disease. when the
true source OF the trouble lay at the
front door. The mouth presents one
Of the most favorable fields for the
invasion Of microbes into the body,
and II unclean, and with cavities In
the teeth where food may lodge and
decay. he Is fortunate indeed who es-
capes serious trouble
The danger coming from an unclean
mouth arises from two sources. The
swallowing of pus, germs and decayed
food along with the saliva. and the
fact that, with diseased teeth, We are
unable TO chew our food properly.
1t is needless to enlarge upon the
amount of danger which comes from
the swallowing of poisonous sub
stances along with our saliva. We
know that these substances are not
only harmful, but that the effort to
counteract the effect Of these potsons
weakens the body II this were al, It
were enough, and yet the inability TO
properly chew our food under these
conditions renders the problem more
serious. II the teeth are decayed
they became sensitive, and person
VIII unconsciousIy refrain from chew
ing on q sore tooth. AS the condition
becomes aggravated, good chewing be
comes impossible. and the habit Of
boltiDg the food ia formed.
Now, it Is all right for a chicken to
bolt its food, because there is arranged
for the chicken internal apparatus for
afterwards grinding the food. Man,
however. has no gizZsrd, and this
habit OF boiling our food not only
causes excessive strain on our digeS-
tive apparatus, but also tmpOverishes
the blood. and TINS veakens the sys-
tenn so that ii cannot ward OF the dis
case.
That this condition IS serious there
can be no doubt. Examinations made
of the teeth Of children In the schools

A Life Savinu Elephant.

A few years ago two children were
bathing in the sea at a little town. on
the coast of France when suddenly,
for some reason or other, they were
carried out of their depth. In few
moments their cries as they struggled
in the deep water aroused attention,
but before any one could reach them
they were rescued in an altogether I'M
expected manner.
An immense elephant belonging to
a travelling circus happened to have
been led down to the sea that morn
ing to battle, and as he was enjoying
his bath close at hand he heard the
cries of the children. Plunging through
the water toward them, he lifted them
very gently one at time and carried
them to place Of safety.
This elephant, whose name was Gus,
died not long ago at Hereford, Eng
land, from the effects of a severe cold.
He was said to be 135 years old.

Shocked His Dad.

A pious and strict father, whose
small son baked at going to church,
showed the irreverent boy one day a
history of New England.
''Here is a picture of the Puritans
going to church." said the father.
"What good and pious men! Notice
their sugar loaf hats. They walk in
single file through the deep snow, and
each man carries a gun"
''What do they carry guns to church
for?" the boy asked with sudden in
terest.
"For fear of the Indians" was the
reply. "The Indians were apt to lie in
wait for them at every turning. All,
what pious men they were, to be sure!
Think of them the next time you want
to shirk your religious duties. Through
snow and sleet, through bitter cold,
through the perilous ambuscades Of
the savage Indians, they wended their
way to church Sunday after Sunday
with pious, thankful hearts. Yet
YOU
ooh, rats!' said the boy. I'D go to
church every day in the week if l
could get a shot at an Indian on the
way"

Ericassee of Fowl.

Take fowl as plump and tender as
you can get, clean it thoroughly and
wash inside and out. Then cut up,
taking pains to disjoint it properly; put
into a kettle and nearly cover with
cold water. Rub first with salt, pep
per and little sage. Bring to boil,
then set back, closely covered, where
it will just simmer until it is done.
When very tender remove the chick
en- from the broth, keeping hot. Skim
off all the fat from the liquor and set it
where it will boil up we'll. Season
more, if needed, and add one pint Of
cream, if possible or rich milk. Let
come to a boil, then draw to back Of
the stove and stir in quickly the well
beaten yolk of an egg and tablespoon
of chopped parsley. Have the chicken
arranged upon platter, leaving a hol-
low in the center. Take hot cream of
tartar biscuits, split and lay in the hol-
low upon the platter and then pour
the cream and egg gravy over chicken
and biscuits and serve at once.

The Lovinq CUP.

There are great many stories told
of the origin of the loving cup, and
perhaps the following is the most in
teresting:
In the eleventh century Margaret
Atheling, the wife Of Malcolm Ken.
more, became disguised with the way
in which the Scotch mobiles left the
dining table before her chaplain had
time to say grace. So she promised all
those who could be induced to wait for
this ceremony a draft of the choicest
wine from a large gold cup, which
was passed from man to man around
the table after grace had been pro-
nounced The bride offered by the
beautiful young queen was too inviting
for the mobiles to refuse, and they all
stayed in consequence. The custom Of
passing around the "grace cup" as it
was called at first, became so popular
that it was observed all over the coun-
try, and every person of Importance in
the middle ages could boast of being
the owner of one.

Nonnenworth In Lord Kelvin's Ear
~ Home Mrs. King tells the story:
There was very large company in
the hotel, and at 1 o'clock the guests
assembled in a great hall for dinner.
About 100 sat down at the long, mar
row table, we as the last corners at
the very bottom.
Far from us on a platform in the
middle we saw very stately decora-
tive dish. DR.. Nicoll told us it was
boar's head stewed in burgundy wine,
a famous national dish. He said we
must dine on it, so as each course was
offered he refused and made us do the
same. At length two walters removed
the stately dish, and as it was carried
off he rubbed his hands, eXclaiming,
"Now we shall have some dinner!'
But, alas, it disappeared, and the com
pany rose and scattered. 1t was SIM

About the Pelican.

This bird is found spread over many
portions of Africa and Asia and is
also found in some parts of southern
Europe The wings Of the pelican are
very strong and powerful.
The pouch of the pelican is enor-
mously large, capable Of containing
two gallons Of water, and is employed
by the bird as a basket wherein to
carry the fish which it has caught.
The pelican is good fisherman,
lowering over the water watching for
a shoal Of fish near the surface. Down
swoops the bird, scoops up number
of fish in it's capacious pouch and then
generally flies off homeward. In it's
homeward fight it is often robbed by
hawks, which attack it and cause 1t
to scream. Once the pelican's mouth
is open the hawk snatches the fish out
Of the birds pouch.

a Substantial Bone,

SO many witnesses had queered his
clients cases by swearing that the
shots they had heard in a shooting af-
fair were only thirty seconds apart
that when pressed to tell what they
were doing when each report was
heard, naming actions so dissimilar
that it must have taken at least ten
minutes to switch from one to the
other, the criminal lawyer swore that
he would maintain consistency above
all things in his latest case. Gustaye,
the Swedish janitor had heard two
shots fired at the injured man, and
the lawyer impressed upon him the
Importance Of swearing that he was
engaged in the same task at each shot.
In the course of the trial it was
brought out that the shots had been
fred a month apart, the first being
merely a little target practice that did
no harm, the second inflicting a seri-
Gus wound. But there was no time to
coach Gustave anew Said the law
yer:
what were you doing when the
first shot was fred?'
Il was sitting in the kitchen gnaw-
ing chicken BONE" said Gustave.
"And what were you doing when the
second shot was fired? Be careful
how you answer"
he, 'gnawing that same chicken bone"

She Was After the "Joints."

Charley Sheldon. secretary Of the
Kansas state senate several years ago,
was a rafting good humorist. The
senate Of which Sheldon was secretary
was in session during the days when
Carrie Nation was crusading in Kan
sas and making the welkin ring. She
came into the senate one day and got
to talking with Sheldon about liquor
laws, amendments to the prohibitory
statutes and that sort of thing, which
were before that legislature. She want
ed to know about them.
"Oh,' said Sheldon very seriously,
give hidden all the joint resolutions"
And Carrie became rather excited
before she "tumbled" and learned
what Legislative joint resolution" is.

an unconscionably long time eventual

were served and still no Whistler APP

A Better Voice.

The late Signor Foil used to tell a
good story about a then popular song,
''The Farmers Boy" While spending
holiday in the country in England
he went fishing and was caught in a
heavy storm. Hurrying to a farm
house for refuge, he found that the
yeoman's daughter had been married
that morning and that festivities were
in progress. He was made welcome,
although his identity was not known,
and in due course he was asked to
contribute a song. He gave 1.-THE
Farmers Boy" which, it goes without
saying, was received with reclamation.
But the farmer himself was restrain
ed In his praise. 1T wur good" he
said, ''but We can't sing it like our
cowman. I've heard he a mile away

FOR The CHILDREN
Birthday Surprises.

The little girl who liked to sew
But couldn't bear to read-oh, no.
Last birthday found strange to relate,
"A row Of books beside her plate
Instead of new workbox-dear!
She thought it was so very queer
And cried a bit. AT last she took
The very smallest, thinnest book,
And. though sae thought her heart would
break,
She read it through for mothers sake.
And then she read them all, and, 10,
She likes to read as we'll as sew!
The little girl who liked to read
But not to seW-oh, no, indeed
A lovely workboX she received
Upon her birthday. How she grieved
AT thlmble, needle case and thread!
She wanted picture books instead
And thought she surely never could
Say THANK your for them and be good.
AT last in tears she set to work
And sewed and sewed and did not shirk,
Till now no clothes her dolles need.
She likes to sew as we'll as read.
