BEAUTY OF TEETH.

Perhaps you think that your teeth are
not a conspicuous part of your final
make up. II you do, you are very much
mistaken. They are most valuable ad-
juncts to both your beauty and your
health. 1 have seen more than one
pretty girl smile. showing a set Of ILL

effect secured by her facial beauty. II
your teeth are in bad condition. that
means you will have a had breath, and
nothing can be more offensive than this.
] would not try to compete with
dentist, but there are lots Of things that
girls can do at home, to prevent this
dreaded visit to the dentist Like every
thing else important. however, 1t takes
a few moments of your time, now and
then.
Mothers should begin with their chill
dren when they have their first set OF
teeth. These should be kept In good
condition as long as possible. II the
teeth have a tendency to be brittle, be
sure that is caused by some internal
condition, and your physician should be
consulted. Lime water used frequently

breaking of young children's teeth as
anything, and can be compounded at

two or three tablespoonful in milk or
water during the day.
Much harm is done by the careless
use of highly scented and injurious tooth
washes and powders. There are many
proprietary articles that are excellent,
but there are just as many that contain
acids and gritty substances that are
ruinous to the enamel of the teeth. The
teeth can be kept perfectly clean by the
use of a little precipitated chalk once a
day. and warm limewater at night.
Listerine and myrrh are harmless and
very effective lotions for the teeth, and
can be Used in place of proprietary ar
ticles whose ingredients are a mystery.
II your teeth are set rather far apart,
thus allowing particles of food to
lodge between them, then use a quill
tooth pick or dental floss. Needless to
say, this must be done in the privacy
of your room and not at the BILE. II
tartar is inclined to form at the root
of your teeth, you should eat lemons
and acid fruits, and occasionally use
magnesia. Rinsing the mouth out
with q solution of camphor is also
beneficial.
