Good Teeth Safeguard Health.

The kind OF food one eats furnishes
a means of cleansing the teeth. Cen
orally speaking hard food is better
for the teeth than soft food. because
the latter is left on the surfaces of
teeth for microbes to act upon,
whereas hard food helps to clean the
teeth. Hard crusts of bread, crisp
toast and hard plain biscuits, or a
good steak are good for the teeth, as
they give the muscles of the Jaws
beneficial exercise, which they need
lust as much as do the other muscles
of the body. If these muscles are not
exercised, the lower part Of the face
never develops properly and the whole
appearance of the person may be
spoiled.
. To keep teeth in perfect shape. 1t
is wise TO visit the dentist regularly
in order to have him clean the teeth
properly and thus make certain that
there is no defect in the mouth. 1t is
best to be on guard to prevent.trouble.
Let teeth sparkle with the glow of
good heath, which comes OF good care.

The most necessary thing probably
is a good throat wash, and this is
manifested by the almost universal
complaint among the business women
that along about I o'clock in the aft.
ernoon the throat becomes parChed
and sore. continuing so until the
abandonment OF work, when fresh
air is imbibed. then the trouble
ceases, unless a crowded car is inn

from a daily use of carefully pre-

numbers of careful and cleanly busi.

1t seems strange that few girls pro-
vide themselves with an extra Sooths
brush for office use. though few of
them fail to have powder puff. The
toothbrush Is certainly essential to
health. especially where. as is so
often the case. large portions of candy
are chewed an along with the street
dirt.
The powdered puff question brings
up the third article which few girls
bother with during the hours of in
side confinement, but when one con-
siders the large amount of dust filled
pores is not really PLEASANT or SEN
sible one. The almost universal
statement of the business girl that
the face itches and stings. particularly
around the lips. toward the middle OF
the forenoon, indicates that about the
most comforting aid for the business
woman is a good cleansing cream.
Why wait until evening 10 cleanse
the face, when every moment clogs
heavier the pores? Five minutes dur
ing the day will clean the pores, and
strengthen the skin for the rapid
change from steam heat to outer air.
These three little habits have been
tested and given great satisfaction
and comfort to a number of the really
wise, cleanly business women.
