Recipes for Wrinkles
and Bad Compilations
(From Art and Nature) .

OF all the beauty recipes in my
scrap book. here are two that have
always given complete satisfaction:
Wrinkle Remover One ounce
powdered saxolite, dissolved in half
pint witch hazel. Use as a wash To-
ton. 1t brings instantaneous re-
suits.
Face Peeler-Pure mercolized wax,
applied at night like cold cream only
not rubbed in; wash off in the morn
ing. 1t causes the worn out scarf
skin to come off in tiny, almost i'm
perceptible flakes, a little each day,
until the fresh young underskin is
wholly in evidence. The beautiful
rose-tinted complexion thus obtained
is not to be compared with one made
over with cosmetics. An ounce of
the wax is sufficient
The ingredients named are mex
pensive and can be found in any drug
store.-Louise Leblanc.

IMPORTANCE OF BABY TEETF
Every Ono Should Be Kept Until Re-
placed by More Firmly Built
Adult Teeth.
Dy LUTHER HALsEY GUL1CK. n. q

The detormities Of the face, caused
by the habit of mouth breathing, can
be corrected by proper treatment. In
the case Of a boy who was placed I'M
der the care Of dentist at the age or
four, wonderful results have been
shown. A year later the shape Of his
face was considerably altered. and By
the eighth year 1t was practically nor
NAL. When treatment for such de-
fects II delayed until the age Of IL or
later the results are not so satisfac-
tory. But even at this age some i'm
provement may be effected although
It will not be so marked as that shown
in the four-year-old boy. The main les
son is that the mouth-breathing habit
should be prevented in babyhood and
the necessity for such corrective treat
ment later would then be avoided.
When small children have anything
the matter with their teeth 1t used to
be common to say, ut makes little diff.
/ ference, those are Just the baby
/ teeth" and we pulled out the baby
teeth instead Of filing and taking care
/ OF them. The reason why that is bad
and why parents who are careful with
their children do not allow 1t, Is that
every tooth pulled out of baby's jaw
results in a lessening development Of
the jaw, affording less room for the
permanent teeth when they come
Every baby tooth should be kept unit
it is replaced by the larger and more
firmly built adult tooth. The full con
tour of the teeth should be preserved
for Just to the extent that 1t Is no
preserved does the jaw tend to afro
! ply. Stimulation of development b!
, proper use is as important as proven
ton Of atrophy.

London'a First Directory.

How did the world do it's business
before the publication Of directories
The huge directory of London had a
first printed forerunner in a slim little
volume, "a Collection of the Names Of
the Merchants Living In and Around
the City of London" issued by Sam
uel Lee of Lombard street in 1877. 1t
was the outcome most probably of the
enterprise of Henry Robinson, a well
known writer on commercial matters.
