result is q sort Of marmalade.
When u few pieces are done they

done the sirup may be further evap-
grated until it is almost Il jelly. and
then the jars are. to be filled with that.
Such preserves. are like jelly in tel

A number OF ualScrupulOS Bak-

This is assault against the

everyone knows is pure and

it's own selfish interests by re-

SPLENDID TOILET. HINT.

How to Preserve the Teeth by Fas.
tidious Care.
Bad teeth are a very severe handicap
to a pretty face-or to a plain one, for
that m%atter-and a handicap also to
ones health. Unbounded mischief is
caused through neglected teeth; neu-
ralgia, indigestion-often leading to Sc
rious internal trouble-defective eye-
sight. and so on.
1t is a significant fact that British
authorities have declined. on the score
of defective teeth. to accept the serv.
ices of many young men wishing to N
list for the war.
In u grandmothers' days dentistry
was practically unknown and the
toothbrush a new item among ones
toilet articles. A dose of medicine was
supposed to cure the face ache. But to-
day. amid all our modern improve
ments. a visit to the dentist is neither
an expensive nor a very terrible affair.
and there is really no excuse for neg
lected teeth.
Decay is, of course, the most dread
ed factor In connection with teeth.
But prevention is better than cure, and
we can ourselves keep decay at bay II
proper precautions arc used.
Teeth should be cleaned at least
twice a day. and a mouth wash used
after meals ia remove food secretions
will also prove beneficial. An excellent
recipe may be prepared as follows:
Oil Of peppermint. .........".." part
Thymol ~ parts
Tincture Of myrrh ............... 8 parts
Water iOO parts
Alcohol 80 per cent? ............ 500 parts
Shake well and add a few drops to a
glass Of warm water. Any chemist
will make it up cheaply.
One Of the most cleansing properties
is precipitated chalk mixed with a lit
tie cold water. 1t not only prevents
decay. but preserves the enamel and
helps to keep the whole mouth In a
healthy condition. This preparation
should be applied to the teeth and
gums night and morning and the tooth
brush rubbed up and down inte-every
crevice.
After cleaning the teeth it is u good
plan to drop the brush into d half tum-
bier of soda water. The toothbrush
needs it's daily wash just as much as
anything else. and the soda will cleanse
it from any impurities which may lurk
between its bristles. i
Sweets and acid properties attack
the enamel Of the teeth. If the mouth
is rinsed out with limewater this will
preserve the Wilderness.
Don't eve put pins or needles in your
mouth. 1t is one of the easiest means
of promoting decay. If necessary fine
silk thread or dental floss may be
drawn through the crevices.
Dark stains are often due to a de.
post of tartar. which is apt to form
along the bottom row of teeth. Seal
ing by a reliable dentist should take
place at regular intervals. and the trOu-
ble will thus be removed.
A sound set of teeth is IL great bless
ing to its owner. but OH the slightest
signs OF decay it is always best to n
suit a dentist. One decayed tooth may
ruin three or four others. however,
sound they may appear. and, though
we may in later years have substitutes.
no teeth are ever quite the same as
those nature provided US with orig
