DIET AND CHILDREN'S TEETH
Food-Vegetables, Fruit and
Meat Necessary.

Decayed teeth are found in from Sc
to 80 per cent of school children.
Children who are fed exclusively at
the breast for the first six months of
life have decayed teeth in about 40
per cent; those fed on cows milk in
about the same proportion, while
those fed on sweetened condensed milk
show it in about 20 per cent.
DR.. Joseph Durand says in the Jour
nal of the American Medical Associa-
ton that If an infant cannot be nursed
by its mother it must be fed on cows
milk properly modified, and that very
early in it's career-about the sixth
month-this must be supplemented
with vegetables, fruit and meat. AS
soon as its teeth begin to come it must
have food that will exercise the teeth
and jaws-tough meat, bacon rind,
hard crusts, apples, celery, etc. And
the meal should always end with
some tibrous, preferably acid food,
such as salad or fruit, as these pro-
woke Il flow of highly alkaline saliva.

Turkish Women.

Turkish women are to be counted
among the most Industrious on earth.
They do vast amount of work. They
make carpets, screens for doors, work
bags, horse clothing and blankets. A
Turkish girl makes all the lIibitka or
tent carpets, and other household req
uisites before she is married. If she
gets married without completing the
task it is expected that she will, by
her own labor, refund the money which
her parents have given her as a dowry.
This usually consists of a hundred
sheep and certain amount of money,
which the bridegroom pays to the par
entS of the bride. He also treats his
friends to n succession of horse races
and other sports. An important part
is to decorate a camel with the hand
soonest trappings, which are sent to
the brides tent. On this she goes forth
to receive congratulations of relatives
and friends. 1t is on this she is car
ried away by the female relatives of
the bridegroom. She and her attend
ants feign to resist the act by throwing
raw oats ut the other women.

BUNYAN AND HIS GREAT WORK
"PiIqrm's Progress" Was First Printed
About a Decade Before the
Authors Death.

The first edition of "The Pilgrim'S
Progress" was printed in 1878, just a
decade before the death of the author,
John Bunyan, who breathed his last in
the home of London grocer 228 years
ago. The first edition was printed for
Nath. Ponder, at the Peacock in the
Poultry, 1878" and a second edition
was necessary the same year. Ten
editions were printed before Bunyan
died, and the book enjoyed a huge
popularity among the lowly and hum
BILE of England and Scotland, but was
sneered at by the educated classes.
Bunyan was very proud of the fact
that his work was greatly admired by
New Englanders and by the French
HuguenOts. For more than a century
Pilgrims Progress" had no standing
in literary circles. "All the numerous
editions said Macaulay, were evil
IDENTITY meant for the cottage and the
servants hall, as the paper, the print
ing and the plates were of the mean
est description" In his youth Bunyan
was tinker, and far from piOus. 1t
is recorded that a woman, whose char
acter was such as to make her an au-
thority on profanity, declared that he
was 1.-The ungodliest fellow for swear
ing she had ever heard in all her life,
and tiIat it made her tremble to hear
him. "-EXChange.

MRS. BROWN HAS
GAINED 70 POUNDS
WAS CONFINED TO HER BED AND
CHAIR FOR OVER TWO YEARS
AND THOUGHT SHE WOULD
NOT LIVE LONG.

You can tell them that it help
ed my wife too, and of all the people
that have made statements about
getting benefit from Tanlac | be-
thankful, for she thought she would
not be living long and the doctor
didn't give me any encouragement y
This remarkable statement was
made by Mr.. ]. L. Brown, a we'll
known carpenter of College Park,
Atlanta, in conversation with DR.. E.
B. Elder. Mr.. Brown added very
seriously that he felt unable to ex-
press in words his great apprecia-
ton for what Tanlac had done for
his home and the mother Of his
eight children, and then went on to
say:
For over two years she has had
to live practically on nothing but
milk, being bothered as she was
with a bad stomach trouble that
was hardly more than a living skele-
ton. S he didn't seem to get any
Strengthening rest at night an
simply had no energy for anything.
In fact, she spent about all her time
between her bed and the chair and
didn't feel like taking an interest
in anything.
'She had a mighty bad breaking
out on her ankles, too, and all the
way up to her knees and these place
would then swell up terribly. Her
color was bad, too, and it just look
ed like nothing on earth could ever
do her any good or liven her up.
'Well, some strange things hap
pen in this world, and the change in
her is certainly one of them. for it
was about month ago that she was
as bad off as she's been at all, and
now she's a well woman and | am
sure a happy man! She has taken
just three bottles of Tanlac ana
weighs 100 pounds-that is. she's
gained 20 pounds since she began
taking it,
"My wife now eats heartily,
sleeps good and feels as strong as
she did years ago. She is now do
ing all her own homework and cook
ing and says she will never be able
to say enough about this Tanlac.
We don't mind who you tell about
this, for it's nothing but the plain,
simply truth-and that don't hurt
anybody"

The measles were making their an

of the community, and Flossie was

full of tears.
'Oh, daddy she walled. I've
just fallen and bumped my patella."
Dear, dear! Poor little girl! :" said
father sympathetically as with the

to examine her elbow.
Nora drew herself angrily away.

patella-my patella is my kneecap."

ours: They are pure air, pure water
and plain food. Food alone has a
price. Both air and water are Gods
free gifts. And yet not one person in

not one in thousand drinks enough
pure water, and nearly all of us eat too
much. Magazine.

HANDY MAN BEST HUSBAND
incident Showing How the Useful
Husband is Right on
the Job.

Men who can turn their hands to
any sort of job that needs doing are
very useful as husbands. Mr.. Pickles
was one of these useful gentlemen. His
amiable wife asked him to hang a pic
ture she had purchased for the parlor,
and he said that he would do it ''in @
.jiffy."
You must get me the cord and a
picture hook" he said to his wife, ''and
tell the servant girl to run down into
the cellar and bring up the stepladder
and carry it into the parlor, and
where's those two little screw .hinga-
majigs that go into the back of the
frame at the sides to put the cord
through?
Look them up for me; and l shall
require the gimlet to bore little hole
for the screws. Somebody get the
gimlet, or, maybe l can drive them in
with a hammer. Johnny, you run
down into the cellar and get the ham
mer. Perhaps chair would be better
than the stepladder.
Somebody go out into the kitchen
and get me chair. l don't want to
stand on one of the parlor chairs. Got
that cord? Just measure off about the
right length and fasten it to those lit
tie things at the side.
There, now; there's your picture
hung up, and no fuss about it. The
difference between us men and you
women is that, when we have any
thing to do, we do it and don't talk
all day about it."-Pittsburg Chroni-

THE WOMEN WORK
In Palestine No Woman Is Considered
Too Old or Too Young to
Work

No woman in Palestine is too old
tends her small brothers or sisters,
and the grandmother weaves or spins
until the day she dies. AS is common
among oriental women, those of Pales-
tine age early, and at twenty-five the
ordinary woman of the laboring class
is wrinkled and bent, unless as wa
ter bearer she preserves her erect
carriage and queenly gait.
The old woman spins wool as she
goes to her home or the fields where
the men till the ground or beat the
green olives from the trees. Her cos
tune is composed of two pieces, unless
she wears shoes, which is neither
necessary nor customary. The full
dress or tObe is gathered at the waist
by belt of coarse cloth, and is tied
at the throat with heavy string,
so that weatherbeaten strip of neck
can be seen below it. One piece of
goods forms the front and another the
back, and until Paris fashions affect
the laborers, as they have already af-
fected the drones in the Levant, a
triangular piece of cloth, to give high
speed walking fullness to the skirt, is
the only material added.
The veil is long and strong, and
can be used to tie up fagots or to con-
tain such measures of barley as Ruth
had from Boaz in the fields. Coarse
and durable embroidery may decorate
both tobe and veil, but the young bride
wears embroidery for which rich tour
lists bargain in vain.-Christian Her
