IRISH HAVE
BEST TEETH
Scots the Worst in United Kingdom,
Authority Saws,

authority says.
London, Sept. 9.-The best teeth in
the United Kingdom are the Irish and
the worst are the Scots, says DIR.
Stewart, the medical officer for East
Suffolk, who read a paper at the con-
ference of the British Dental Associa-
tion held at Cambridge.
DR.. Stewart attributed the deterior-
alton to the inordinate passion OF
Scots children for sweets. Mr.
Rhodes, the president Of the associa-
ton, suggested as another cause the
increasing habit of making meals OF
tea and bread and butter and the de-
creasing consumption of oatmeal. An
other authority thought that the def
cheney of lime in Scottish water was q
contributing factor.
The strong white teeth of the Irish
man, which are the admiration Of the
dentist when he looks at them and his
despair when he has to extract one
are attributed to his simple vegetar-
ian diet. He eats little meat and few
sweets, and his food is of the kind
that requires biting.

temperance cause. In q late number
table is given showing the decrease
Of the amount of alcoholic stimulants
prescribed in Dublin hospitals in the

in the latter year. 1909. the amount
of alcoholic stimulants prescribed was
about $1,000, little over 81 per pa.

Father Fitzgerald. .

Bishop Lawler laid the corner stone
and delivered very forceful and elo-
quent sermon on the rationale of
beautiful churches.
He said in part:
"Unbelief and utilitarianism may
assert that there is no need of so great
an expenditure of wealth in church
building and In church ornamental
tion, but faith answers that nothing
can be too rich or too beautiful for
the Creator and Master Of the uni
verse.
God has no need of our gifts. He
II rich without them, beyond the
dreams Of human fancy; but He is
ready to accept our gifts as in other
days He accepted the treasures Of
the Magi.
God has no need of the beautiful
houses of worship we erect in His
honor. however artistic they may be,
but He is pleased with them as of old
He was pleased with the splendors Of
Solomon's temple. 1t is our highest
privilege to be allowed to build
churches to God-sacramental abiding
places for our Blessed Savior-and to
adorn them with the richest gifts of
His own creation and with the mob
lest productions Of human genius. It
is our belief in the Holy Eucleanist
which is the preeminent source of our
exalted idea seof the beauty and gram
deaur that befit the house of God. To
,as the house OF God has spiritual
meaning all it's own. It is more than
q meeting place; more than house
OF prayer; more than a monument;
more than a temple. Our faith brings
Heaven near to us and makes our
every church Bethlehem, q Nazar-
eth, Calvary, a sacramental home Of
Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh
who delights to dwell in the midst Of
the children Of men.
1.-THE church is our Savior's house
in the parish. It Is intended to be His
abode. He is its Divine Tenant, its
soul quickening and ennobling it. We
love it and as proof Of our affection
we strive to make it q fit symbol Of
the Jerusalem that Is above. To our
mind the religious temple, however
grand the altar, however precious the
sanctuary, however embellished, form
but setting for the pearl of infinite
price, our heavenly Guest present with
us under the sacramental species.
mo matter what worldliness and
economy may lead people to think or
to say, the House of God should be
pre-eminent above other structures

Fashion Ideas and Household Hints
WRINKLES IN CLOTHES.
Mussed UP Looking Garments Are a
Matter Of Carelessness

Wrinkles and creaseS can be remoC-
cd from almost any garment, but some
times this is difficult.
Every clothes closet should be gen
~erously supplied with frames or hang
erS. There should be as many as there
ara clothes to put on them. The COM
binat:on coat and skirt hangers are
ideal for two piece suits or frocks, but
a coat hanger is all that is needed for
most Of the present day frocks. Such
a hanger can be made from the hoops
of small barrels il they are available.
These hoops should be cut in two, and
each half should be wound carefully
with strips of muslin turned in at each
side. When the muslin covers the
half loop it should he neatly and Sc
curely fastened at each end. a cord
loop tied in the middle Of these hang
erS affords some means of hanging
them to the closet hooks.
When shirt waists and houses are
packed in a shirt box they can be kept
in shape if they are stuffed with a
sheet or two of lightly crumpled tissue
paper. Another way to avoid wrin-
kleS in the shirt waist box is to cut
about a dozen oblongs Of muslin or
lawn the length of the box and two
inches wide. FaSten these OblOngs
with short lacks along the back Of the
box. each one an inch or so above the
other. Put a shirt waist in the bottom
of the box. pull NE bottom muslin OBJ
long over it and pin it in place on the
inside Of the front of the box. Pin it
snugly, so hat another waist can rest
on it, and over the second waist pin
the second piece or muslin. In this
way many waists can be accommodate
ed without Wrinkling.

OF the morning this organization dis
pensed its musical product. 1t was a

had a single key.
The musicians played entirely Fill

flies carried the tune, the bass drum
and cymbals carried the time or rhythm

event. In the three legged race, in
stead Of getting all tangled up like a
bucking, kicking mule in a lariat and
falling all over the garrison landscape,
the IgorrOte natives proved to be shin
ing stars in this American competitive
game.
Over 1000 native men, with their
wives, sweethearts and children, sat
along the side line laughing, cheering

HELPS FOR THE COOK.

Rro1led green peppers make a de-
licious finishing touch to a steak.
If a fowl seems tough add either a
pinch Of soda (saleratus) or a little
vinegar to the water in cooking.
Spoons used in cooking should be OF
wood whenever possible. A few metal
ones will be needed for measuring.
Rice boiled in milk instead Of water
has much richer flavor. 1t must be
watched closely while cooking. as it
will burn quickly.
When making custard pie add one
cupful of finely ground hazelnuts or
