oRRIs ROOT FOR THE BREATH.

A bad breath is probably the most
distressing thing woman can in
flict upon her friends, and sometimes
even the best groomed types are
guilty of this blemish. A good tooth
powder. a simple one, such as French
chalk and powdered orris root, is the
best and a good mouth wash of lis
terine is another good aid in this
trouble 1t is also good plan to
keep small pieces of orris root handy
and by chewing a piece as small as
a pea just once a day the chances
for a good breath are very fair.
