ANOTHER LEGISLATIVE JOKE

Representative w. I. Nolan of Mime
apolis, says the non-partisan law should
be applied to all state Offices, as we'll as
county and legislative. Why doesn't
Mr.. Nolan have the Minnesota legis-
lature, in its great wisdom, apply it's non
partisan law to the nation and do away
with all parties? 1t would be about
as sensible proposition as Mr.. Nolan
| now makes.
Then everybody, that is those who
have the money, could get into any sort
of political race.
When you knock out partisan politics
and do away with political parties you
simply pry out the underpinning of the
nation. Political parties are an absolute
necessity.
! 1t would be better if the legislature,
after it has amended the election law
closing the polls two or three hours
earlier in the evening, would repeal its
present non-partisan law.
But then, Nolan is joke, any way.
The wholesale grocers and some other
organizations, some twelve or fourteen
years ago, used to take him around to
their conventions to tell funny stories.
He was probably better at that than
making laws, however.

The Teeth in Relation to Health.

Do not let your child grow up with
crooked teeth for this detracts greatly
from the appearance and often spoils the
expression of the face The deformity is
usually caused by allowing the decaying
baby teeth to remain in the gums for
too long time. If the first teeth are
kept in good condition they work loose
of their own accord and come out at the
proper time, but if they are allowed to
decay they break off and their roots re-
main in the gums to play havoc with the
second teeth. To get around the OBJ
stacle these teeth are obliged to come in
obliquely or one partially overlapping
the other. When this happens the child
should be at once taken to a dentist, as
it is comparatively easy matter to
straighten the teeth in youth.
Now there is right and wrong way
to use even such simple thing as a
toothbrush The teeth are full of crew
ices and crannies and to cleanse these
thoroughly it is necessary to use an up
and down motion as well as a sideways
scrub Either tooth paste or powder
can be used. Some of the most beautiful
teeth are kept in condition by using both,
not at one time but on different days or
at different times in the same day. Tooth
paste contains a good deal of soap and
has decidedly cleansing effect, while
the powder, containing much chalk in ad-
dition to certain cleansing ingredients,
both cleanses and at the same time gives
a high polish.
After the teeth have been brushed in
the manner Just described everV night
they should be gone over with a small
rubber band or strand of dental floss
to dislodge any small particles of food
that may have resisted the brush. Run
the floss or the rubber carefully between
the teeth and then rinse the mouth with
water. It is very dangerous to let even
the smallest fragment of food remain in
the mouth during the night, for the
moist heat will cause it at once to decay
and this not only makes offensive breath
but by fermentation manufactures an
acid which eats through the enamel of
the teeth and then they rapidly decay
and crumble
If YOU have neglected your teeth and
they are in any way diseolored OF show
signs of tartar they may be whltened
with lemon and pumice powder. You
can buy an ounce of the powdered pun
ice at any druggists for a few cents. II
used to be thought that lemon juice in
iured the teeth. but scientists have dis
covered that this was a mistake, for the
acid Of lemons and all citrous fruits
turns 10 alkali in the mouth. To whiten
the teeth and remove the tartar cut
slice from a lemon. twist a wisp Of alb
sorbent cotton around the end OF an
orange wood stick, just such stick a.
you use for your nails. dip this in the
lemon and then into the pumice and rub
il hard on the teeth. PAY especially at
tention to the sides and crevioes between
the teeth Tor these are the place that are
first attacked by the tartar Re careful
in this cleaning PROCESS not 70 make the
gums sore or 70 loosen them around the
teeth.-Womsn's World Tor September.
