The teeth should never be neglected It is
as essential to keep them clean as it is neces-
sary for us to eat. They should be thoroughly
brushed with a medium bristle brush three
times day. Most people brush them in
very perfunctory sort of way, applying the
brush horizontally. This does not remove the
small particles Of food between the teeth and
fermentation and decay results. The proper
way Is to first rinse the mouth with water
that has been slightly warmed. This washes
away many Of the food particles that adhere
to the teeth. Next use the brush without any
powder or paste to dislodge any food that
may still remain on the teeth then apply your
powder or paste by means of the tooth brush
and thoroughly use it along the teeth with the
cross motion usually applied with the brush
to the teeth You must also brush upward and
downward, inward and outward then back
ward and forward. In this way all foreign
substances are removed. In order to be sure
that no particles remain even after this treat
ment, 1t is necessary to pass silk dental floss
between the teeth. Very frequently if the floss
becomes ragged or breaks, it is a guide to
some defect existing in the tooth surfaces. In
selecting tooth paste or powder be sure to
secure product free from acid or grit .,
In order to obtain clean mouth and have
good teeth and health it is necessary that you
should have your dentist look over your teeth
at least twice a year. You are not able to
locate small cavities with your hand mirror
and your dentist has every appliance for do
ing SO. Do not think that because tooth has
decayed 1t cannot be saved the roots of teeth
DO not decay, and the dentist, with the aid Of
filings and crowns, can repair these structures
and give you much comfort Missing teeth
greatly impair the proper chewing of food It
Is here that the dentist can be of important
service to you

ADVENTIST SENT TO PRISON
German Soldier Refuses to Obey Or
ders on Saturday Despite Two
Sentences.

Berlin. = Private Naumann has
every prospect of spending the re-
mainder of his life In prison because
he persistently refuses to submit to
military discipline on Saturday.
Naumann, who belongs to the sect
known as the Adventists, declares that
Saturday Is the real Sabbath, and that
any kind of work on that day, even
the lightest, is in the highest degree
sinful. When he became soldier in
1907 he refused to obey any orders
between sunset on Friday and sun
set on Saturday.
He was In consequence sentenced
to three months Imprisonment, but
when released resumed his mutinous
conduct and received a second SEN
tence Of two years imprisonment.
When released again he refused obedi-
ence and was sentenced to five years
Imprisonment.
On appeal, the higher military court
retired the case. Questioned by the
presiding officer of the court, Maui
mann declared that as a Christian sol
der his duty was to obey the religious
law and refuse all work on the Sab
bath. A systematic study of the Bible
had convinced him that it was wrong
to regard Sunday as the Sabbath.
which was really Saturday.
It was pointed out that continued
persistence In this attitude would in
evitably result in his spending his en-
tire life within prison walls, and the
presiding officer asked whether Nau-
mann was prepared to accept such
consequences. Naumann replied:
"Yes, certainly"
Questioned whether in war he
would refuse to fight on Saturdays,
Naumann replied that he would then
obey orders because the danger to
the Fatherland would Justify it.

FOODS, such as vegetables and cereals, into

terment the food is prepared so that when it

certain portions given off to supply the daily
needs OF our marvellous system with proper
nutrition.
During the days when baby is wrestling
with Its first teeth the young mother seeks
ala IN such contr1vances as rubber rings and
paclners, permitting the little one to chew
them ad lbitum, believing that they promote
natures efforts and assist the child during the
dent1tion period. Her good neighbors have
told her all about these adjuncts to teeth cut
ting and the wonderful results that they have
obtained through their use. The mother does
not realize that all these contrivances are
dangerous to the health and well-being of her
child, often being the means of introducing
some serious contagious or infectious disease
OF most dangerous character It has been
found that rubber rings or paciiers are bac-
terra carriers, being loaded with germs Of a
most vfrulent type Even if cleaned and ster-
inzed, there is another -eason why they should
never be used. They dcform the mouth The

sulting In what is known as mal-occusion of
the teeth, condition where the upper and
lower sets do not properly meet :.
The sixth year molar is the most important
Of all teeth. 1t is often lost because parents
frequently think that 1t is one of the tempo
rary Set This error is due to the fact that
it is cut while most Of the first set of teeth
are in the mouth. When this tooth is lost ma
ture makes an attempt to close the space, with
the result that the entire articulation Is de-
stroyed. The space thus created between the
teeth is difficult to keep clean, due to the food
particles being forced into these spaces. Its
loss is also one of the chief causes of irregu-
larities Of the other erupting teeth. It is the
belief of the entire dental profession that the
early loss of this tooth is responsible for more
misplaced teeth and ill-shaped jaws than any
other condition Of the mouth.
Every mother should become familiar with
the location Of this important tooth Begin
ming at the center in front and counting back
ward on either side, above and below, it is the
sixth tooth cut. The mother should carefully
watch for any defects found in this tooth, and
If cavities are located they should be repaired
at once in order that the usefulness of the
tooth can be saved.

Give a Woman a Chance.

Compulsory military service for
men, urges German female advocate
Of women's right, should be Offset by
compulsory domestic service for wom-
en-. On the theory that life in bar
rack and drill in the manual Of arms
have benefited German manhood, she
asks, why will not life in the kitchen
and exercise in the use of pots and
pans similarly raise German woman
hood?
If Germany ever organizes stand
ing army of cooks it may force all
Europe to follow its lead. Culinary
conscription is a severe measure, but
when enforced in Germany other ma
tions might be expected to adopt 1t.
There would be more reason in doing
SO than in following Germany's lead
in militarism. There is more real
need of cooks the world over than of
soldiers. 1t is possible to get along
without fighting, but not without eat
ing
