Travelling, at best, is not a mode of

1t You Go To a Hotel

The ever-growing popularity of sum-
mer hotel life has simplifed some prob
lens Of existence, but, on the other hand.
it has complicated matters in a way truly
bewildering to the truly inexperienced
person taking up residence for the first
time in a fashionable summer hostelry.
The What to do upon all occasions is
the frantic question asked by the unini-
tisted, who. like true Americans. have a
horror of appearing at a disadvantage.
The only way to get an answer to this
question Is by long experience. or. as
few OF US have time to acquire that. by
being told. It is hoped these paragraphs
will save many a social bruise and en-
barrassing moment.
II you are going to a hotel in the height
OF the. season do not ask for reduced
rates. You will be laughed at for your
expectations. Rather select a hotel
whose rates come well within your purse
without stretching the strings too tight
ly, for your hotel bills will be only part
Of your expenses. Never make the mis-
take Of going to a hotel without money

The question OF fees is the most trying
one to the ambitious sojourner at

The first teeth should be carefully
watched, for II they are allowed to decay
they often affect the teeth coming in
about them and sometimes injure the
gum. So watch for any signs OF decay
and have them attended to Immediately.
It is an odd thing that children. most
OF them. do not like to wash their teeth.
Tooth washing should be as much a habit
as washing the bands: and be it said in
encouragement. the child who once gets
in the habit OF washing its teeth regular
ly three or four or even five times a day
becomes a crank on the subject-and has
good teeth in old age to show for it.
Instill the habit of a regular visit to
the dentist early. Once every three or
four months the child should be taken to
a reputable dentist to see that the teeth
are sound and clean. Small cavities can
then be detected and cared for and small
bills will be the welcome result

the leaves are BdlneTeo UP at tue euscs

better way is to boil them In the soup

on a platter and carefully remove the
tie strings. They should remain in the

After reading various articles written
by men and women Of profound learning
the reader comes to the conclusion that
one wrong condition accounts for all the
sorrow and unhappiness and suffering
in the world. Sometimes It Is adenoids
that come in for attention. Sometimes It
is broken arches. Sometimes 1t is eve
strain. And sometimes is uncardd-f for
teeth
OF course, a man or woman can 60
through life with poor teeth and yet have
enough health to be happy and sane. But
the soundness OF the teeth has a real and
important bearing to the soundness of
the rest of the body. Therefore, it be-
hooves every one to look well to the care
of his teeth.
It is never too soon TO begin tot care
for a childs teeth. Although the latest
theory is that boracic acid is perhaps not
best as a mouth wash for very small
babies-because they swallow a little

use the smmerinS blaze on the gas stove

pieces, lima beans, or bits Of parsnips or
turnips give the soup good flavor.

THE PAGE INCIDENT.

When Ambassador Page was sup
posed to have made bad break" IN
mis- recent London speech, It was q
big story for the newspapers and il
figured prominently on the front page,
1t was also the theme Of many columns
of editorial comment liberties held
up their hands in horror and insisted
that the ambassador should have :
good calling down. Also Senator
Chamberlain and sundry other great
statesmen in congress had several se-
we're spasms.
The entire furore was based upon a
fragmentary press report Of Pages
speech and ii must have been evident
from the start that no diplomat OF
even ordinary good sense and discre-
tion would have uttered any such sen
tIments as were attributed to the am
hassador. Now comes the complete
text oi the speech, transmitted to the
senate BY Secretary Bryan, and fair
examination Of it reveals no occasion
at all for all the excitement that was
created by the published reports. How
ever. this bit Of real news doesn't re-
ceive half the prominence that was
given to the garbled version Of the
speech. A few extracts from the cor
rect copy Of the speech will make Il
clear that the ambassador was guilty
Of no indiscretion. His entire address
was III a light vein and we quote from
II as follows:
III will not say that we constructed
the Panana canal even for YOU. For

and not with diplomatic indirection
