Each nation In the present struggle
claims TO be fighting for self defense.
Each one shows a sort Of tribal patriot

difficulties by physical force; when
tribes we're separate units. each con-

Of others.
in those primeval days there was a
distinct tribal appeal to women. They
were not merely to stay at home and
be protected: IL was their business to
bear children. The edicts OF Europe's

war brides bark back to those early
centuries when the chief duty Of man

Tax. Cara Of th. Mouth.

Some fortunate girls are born to pref
y mouths. A very few have the much
sung Cupid's bow, with perhaps the
added charm OF a dimple. Others have
a smile which transforms an otherwise
plain face. A great many have very
commonplace mouths. with no redeem
ing dimples. And some few. fortunate
" comparatively very few. have large
mouths or distorted mouths. But no
mouth is hopelessly ugly. Sometimes
the teeth may be crooked, distorting
the mouth, and here the dentist can
give relief But. oftenest Of all, the
mouth Is made homely by facial con-
tortions. the habit Of screwtng up the
lips when talking. OF drawing the mouth
up on one side when laughing. The
mother Of growing children cannot be
too careful Of their appearance.
Whatever the shape Of the mouth, fits
defects can be balanced In q large
measure by good teeth. healthy gums
and red lips. There Is absolutely no
excuse In this age Of successful dental
surgery for misshapen or protruding
teeth and similar mouth defects. With
comparatively little pain the teeth can
be Strengthened, and In case they must
be removed because Of their bad fndi-
vidual shape new ones VIII be inserted
on a bridge, not on an unsightiy plate.

adds greatly TO the beauty Of the mouth

OF them being the type which utilizes

device moved vertically mp and down

been 30 washed the other edge OF the
