RE you planning a party for

You are, surely you will
want some Irish green favors. Don't
spend moro than you intended buy
Ing them at department store,

see If they can't supply your needs
at greatly reduced price. FoS' in
stance. you can buy the most Hi
bernian of green pigs for 10 cents,
there are silk shamrocks to be had
for cents, and small satin-covered
boxes in heart or shamrock shape,
exactly what you want for favors,

postals appropriate for greetings to

center to darker color at tho ends
and finished with little baAs of the

y OOK to youself II you have sem
sitive TOOTH bleeding gum, a
spongy bed for your teeth or en-
Iargcd glands in the back Of the
neck. Nay, IL you have a stiff. tight
scalp and falling hair, your teeth may
be the criminals at the bottom Of the
trouble. Badness itself, In some cases,
has been Justly attributed to faulty
teeth.
It seems to be far from generally
known that the best way to prevent
decayed teeth, pyorrhoea and the other
dental disorders Is to clean the teeth
from infancy to old age Moreover, 1t
may amaze you. dear reader, to learn
that the best way to clean the teeth Is
not by q powder, u potion or paste,
all necessitles in their place, but by
chewing the food.
Efectual mastication Is a most ex-
cellent way both to clean and polish
tho enamel. drive out germs and to in
vigoratc and make fiabby gums firm.
Thorough chewing dcties the lodgment
of food fbres and debr.s between the
teeth. and in individuals whose blood
and muscles are sound and glowing may
at times take the place Of that usual
requirement, the tooth paste.
1t Is decidedly not advisable wholly
TO dispense with a good chloratc of
potash. alkaline tooth paste. Learn but
to remember, however, that thorough
mastication is essential. lnstill this
fact In your minds as well as thus cul-
tivate the habits of your children. and
the auxiliary tooth paste. though n ne
rcssitv only too often, need DO used but
once or twice day.
Foods To Shun.
To practice the art of masticdtion
means taboo for soft, fluid and nom
sol d or predigested foods.
Your mouth should be much cleaner
after a meal than before It, Even den
lists still cling to the old error that the
mouth is full of refuse and the teeth OF
debris after a meal of fiber-likc Victuals
The dietetlc articles. and there are
many. which actually have a tendency
TO leave the gums, teeth and spaces be-
tween filled with bacterial and injur GUS
debris are candies, cereals, sugary sweet
and fiberless foods. Any one with poor
teeth, with RIGGS disease or pyorrhoca,
with foul breath and unpleasant gases
emanating from their mouth, should
particularly, shun certain non-pleasing,
dccaS-provoking articles.
Among these are TO be numbered
chocolate, cocoa, sugar ir coffee and

Washingtonians Get Opportunity
To Aid Babies of the Day Nursery
Saturday, March 27, Set For
Tag Day, When Money
Viii Go To Institution.
Will Insure To Southwest
Children Life On High
Roof Garden.
by FLORENCE E. YoDER.

by fLORENCE f.. YODER.
Saturday. March 27. is tag day for
the Day Nursery and Dispensary
Association OF the District OF Co.
luinb.a, 4G6 N street southwest.
This means that Washinstonians
are given the opportunity of co.
operating with the association and
the parents of the babies OF that
section of the city in the ,nainte-
nance of q public institution which
shall provide for the proper care of
infants during the summer.
The only recommendation needed
for the association is its record, and
the babies who live within it's juris-
diction. The year before 1t was
founded, seven years ago, there
were 100 deaths within a radius of
five city blocks. and last summer
there were no deaths resulting from
the same causes within the same
radius.
May Look At Pictures.
The person interested enough in
the babies can look at their pictures
or go down to the day nursery and
commune with them personally. for
it is open all the year round.
A successful tag day will insure
to the children of Southwest WASH
ington life on a high roof garden.
In the fresh air. with plenty OF good
milk between times, in the warmer
weather, when their mothers are
busy with other duties, at a strictly
nominal nanta a. 6av

charity in any sense. The parents,
whenever it is possible, pay for the
care of the children. The services

charge, the milk bills, and other
by charge in keeping with the
financial status of the association
and the mothers.
Now here Is where the people of
Washington come in on March Y,
and buy tags. thereby defraying the
larger expenses and making possible
that nominal charge which Is fair
and Just.

Marketing the Cotton Crop
BY JOHN II. PAGE, <. Commissioner of Agriculture. ! .A sI i.. f'a H sNSMFf Jfff ,

|; .The great trouble in the marketing |iof, the cotton of the South is in the fact that the producers insist on sell ing in s90i days a crop that it. takes the world IF ,ibnths Ito .afanufacture and conspmR. This, creates tlie ne ces- city far rlimfddle1iaen sato buy and hold the cotton until stAet sla asAu aaNturers are lleady' .fp4' it.ssN These midd dlenlen safe lblibl lght' into, existence tiifpHgh h }dSsiif 46. makeS mo ea, ,,a1ia Fl ila bfsying 'faseH ro1ton Fshher 7 sSeSpectig sfoiillSs niakh 'iaoaiy byh6ldfhg.. < 'rheir operation is speculative, and they cannot afford toSh hold A1ttoh sonsa small Asarginj' it they khoW''ft Their Expenses aIl; in terest, ins,taa nee { etc. are heavy. All of these things are taken into ac- count, and deducted ill advance when they buy, consequently these items fall on the farmer.
 The cotton spinners do not care what price they have to pay for cot ton, as long as the price is the same to all. I have heard them say SO. They base the price of the manufac- tured product on the price they pay for cotton. Now, here is the chance for the farmer to increase the price of cotton. The secretary of the treasury has already placed fifteen million dollars in the banks of the
 South to he loaned to the cotton producers on cotton at six per cent per annum. Every farmer who will

You can sell at any time Get a club of farm CTS together, or see your local iner- chants or bankers, and get loan on all, or part, of your cotton, and hold it for a better market.
 The solution of the cotton grower rests in marketing the crop gradual iy, through legitimate buyers, and brokers. This will always insure you the market value of your cotton. The farmer can warehouse his cotton as easy as the speculator, and at less cost.
 Ask your merchants for assistance in borrowing money on your cotton, if you want to hold it. By all means do not rush your cotteh on the mar kett. The crop is short.

Isolated, But Loyal.

 There is a picturesqua county III Ontario, Canada, isolated in a way, but essentially loyal.
 This is Waterloo county, or better known throughout the Dominion as s'Little Germany

Men ol German blood in other countries were very definite in their eApiesslon of sympathy for the Fatheriand.
