NECESSARY CARE OF
TEETH AND MOUTH

So many women brush the teeth in
a haphaxard fashion. They brush Wig
orously enough, but they are not par
ticular enough to see that the brush
ing is carried on properly. The brush
is wet and then sprinkled with powder,
the teeth get a quick brushing on the
outer surface, very little attention
given to the inside. and usually the
brushing. consists of the crosswise
stroke. OF course. this is little bet
ter than nothing. as II removes surface
accumulations. and not always that.
Correct Way to Br.sh Teeth.
A chapter all by itself could be de-
voted to directions for the proper care
of the teeth. but suffice to say that II
he course prescribed below Is followed
dentists bills, trouble and pain will be
avoided.
For proper cleansing. two brushes
are necessary. A moderately stun one
that Is concave slightly in the center,
as this shape fits the mouth better. The
bristles should be uneven. for then they
fit in between the teeth easier. Another
smaller-s brush. of even soft bristles,
is required for the tongue.
The mouth should be flrst flooded with
clear. tepid water, forcing 1t back through
the mouth and teeth. then wet the tooth
brush and dip It in whatever cleanser
il used for the teeth, Now brush the
teeth several times up and down, and
be sure that the edges at the gums re-
ceive due attention. For this reason 1t is
wise never to purchase a stin brush, as
brushes of this sort are apt to cause
sore and bleeding gums.
Next give the inside of the teeth a
good and thorough brushing. Neglect
Of this precaution often causes carries
or decay germs even when the outside
Of the teeth is given proper attention.
Scrub the Tongue.
Now dissolve a teaspoonful Of baking
soda in q small tumbler full of water,
dip the small, soft brush in 1t and
scrub the tongue vigorously with the So
luton. The same mixture Is excellent
for forcing in through the teeth and
rinsing them and the mouth, and Y de-
stroys acids, which are dangerous II al
lowed to remain long in the mouth. So
for this reason large quantity could
be-mixed at one time. II for any rea-
son there seems to be an aversion to
a brush for the tongue. old bits of soft
linen may be substituted for the tongue
brush. but the cleansing must in either
case be thorough.
waxed dental floss Is something that
should be in possession of every girl and
woman IL they value their teeth even
little bit. Quilts. toothpicks, pins or any
other article or instruments are hurtful
to the teeth IL used to remove particles
from between them. Dental floss does
the work thoroughly without the slight
est injury to teeth or enamel. and for
this reason it should be drawn between
them always after eating and just be-
fore retiring at night.
Many women wonder why it Is that
the back teeth decay faster than the
front ones. One reason Is that the
saliva and mucous Of the mouth collect
chiefly during sleep at the back OF the
mouth. and this coupled with crumbs
Of food, soon causes tartar and decay.

geed reason to believe that dishonest

A. GREAT DEAL Is said and writ
ten about the desirability OF living In
great cities, but as a matter of fact
there are no such things-simply be-
cause men will not live in them.
Even a great city is a union Of COM
munites like this. London, the
largest city in the world, grew out
of collection Of villages that still
retain much OF their old identities.
Investigate Chicago or New York or
any other great city and you will find
that, while men will huddle within
a small area for purposes of business,
they insist on getting out into the
suburbs or into independent reside
lndential sections for the purpose OF
living. Now, living is the most i'm
portant business that man has to
do. He picks out place for 1t with
the same care that he picks out
location for factory, store or an
office and whenever 1t Is possible for
him to pick out the place that he
likes the best, he picks out a small
town, unless he Is one OF those foolish
persons who think that joy Is to DO
found in a cabaret and pleasure In a
crowd II the normal man cannot
take up his residence In small COM
munity, that is his dream OF the fu-
ture. Certainly those of us who lines
are cast In smaller towns therefore
ought to congratulate ourselves
We have here one of the best towns
in the world, at least in the making
We don't have to move to metro
polls to be happy. If our tastes and
our desires are normal. We cor
make ourselves happy and the whole
town happy by trying to make thi.
not big town so much as gooC
one.
