Words of q
WISE Woman
By ADA PATTERSON.

She was a woman in white. Her
figure was substantial yet symmetri-
cal. Her head was well set upon
capable shoulders. Her hair was
sleek and dark. She faced, with I'M
flinching eyes, the audience that
crowded the assembly room from
floor to ceiling, for the wall space was
given over to boxes and the boxes to
eager women of inquiring, perhaps
slightly critical, mind The woman?
She was Mrs. Robert Burdette.
1t happened at the biennial conven-
ton of the General Federation OF
Women's Clubs. 1t is a long name.
Suppose that we shorten it to what
it is. Discussion of Real Things
by Sensible Women" The depart
ment was home economics. A de-
partment that was well managed and
whose program extended over many
sessions of the big convention in New
York. The theme that afternoon was
Clothes" OF course, the announced
theme drew crowd. To dress your
self and family we'll without becom-
ing bankrupt is theme that is OF
universal appeal to women. Why
not? 1t is the expression of the sense
of beauty in them.
A fashionable dressmaker had held
the platform a large part of the after
noon. She had advised that no woman
should follow the styles, but that ev-
cry woman should express her indi-
viduality through her dress. The
women nodded approval The dress
maker led models up on the stage,
making a running commentary on the
frocks they wore and which she had
made.
Don't copy that frock in cheap ma
terial," she warned. you can't re-
produce it under its price, 5000"
The women looked depressed. The
metropolitan dressmaker departed.
Came Mrs. Robert Burdette to the
edge of the platform and addressed
words of wisdom to her sisters.
Don't be cast down" she coun-
selled. "You don't need to pay $500
for gown to express your individual
ity know young girl in California
who expresses her personality in ging-
ham and dimity. And it is an exquisite
personality.
"We should express by our dress
our incomes. We should express our
courage not to wear new modes, if
they caricature US. We should ex-
press our dignity. Then she hurled
a thunderbolt into the audience.
strangers have limited means OF
judging us" she said ut is by our
clothes, our manner of wearing them.
Are you willing to be judged by your
clothes this afternoon" Women
shifted uneasily, vague discomfort in
their faces. The more reflective the
faces the greater the degree of dis
comfort Mrs. Burdette paused, cast
her eyes about the audience, tilted her
determined chin upward, and said:
"By our clothes we express the
dignity of our characters. Let us not
walk down the street with our gowns
so abbreviated above and below that
strangers may mistake us for the
class we want our sons TO avoid"

The Mosquito
and the Home

The breeding females of the mos
quito, which are the early ones that
survive from one season to another,
pass the winter preferably in cellars,
vaults or damp. dark shelters Of any
kind. Hundreds of these breeders
occupy a single place of such kind,
and those in our houses can be de-
stroyed by fumigation at house-clean-
ing time in the spring, before they
leave their winter quarters to produce
their broods.
Every mosquito killed in winter or
spring will diminish the number of
mosquitoes in the summer by thou
sands. Kill every mosquito you see
about your house. If they exist in
great numbers, destroy them by fun
igation with sulphur or insect pow
der. The burning of most insect
powders simply stupefies mosquitoes,
so that they fall to the floor, and
should then be collected and burned.
Mosquitoes will breed as well in
doors as outside. Any water left
standing in clogged sinks. toilet
fixture, water pitchers in the guest
room, buckets, tubs, cuspidores,
aquariums without fish, or in any re-
ceptacle capable of holding a few tea
spoonfuls of water, may be used by
the female mosquito as the place to
deposit her eggs. If you are neglect
ing such conditions, the chances are
that you are raising your own crops
of mosquitoes to poster yourself.
Mosquitoes must have still water to
breed in. The eggs require stagnant
water for their development, and can
not develop in any other way. A
single generation of mosquitoes about
your home will soon disappear I'm
less the females can find stagnant
water on or near your premises on
which their eggs can be laid and de-
veloped, which, under the most ia
vorable conditions, requires at least
ten days time. Therefore, no stand
ing water, no mosquitoes.
Where it is necessary to have water
standing in tanks, barrels, etc, keep
them closely covered with fine wire
screens; have covers of cesspools alb
solutely tight, vents screened; where
drainage and covering are not
practicable, cover the surface of all
standing water with a film of kerosene
oil. An ounce of oil is sufficient to
cover fifteen square feet of water.
Renew oil weekly during breeding
season. These facts are CLEANED from
the Bureau of Health of Philadelphia.

Preventive Dentistry
and the Dental Nurse

The dental profession would be
swamped inside of forty-eight hours.
1t is frankly admitted by all intelli-
gent dentists who have studied the
situation that there are simply not
enough dental operators to take care
of more than about one third of all
children's teeth, even if every one of
them worked at full speed eight hours
every day six days out of week, and
neglected adults entirely. In fact, it
is a sieple problem in arithmetic, there
being only about one dentist to every
5000 people in these United States,
which means about one to every 700
children.
Several great dental societies and
committees of dental experts have
been studying the problem Of caring
for the teeth OF the great army of
children, notably one appointed by
the health commissioner Of New York
City. The latter body, has come to
the conclusion that the best practical
means OF meeting the situation is the
establishment and training Of body
Of so-called dental hygienists, or den
tai nurses, who can be given special
course of training covering about a
year in dental hospitals and clinics.
This will equip them to inspect and
care for children's mouths, cleaning
off the tartar and polishing away the
rough spots and gosions from the sur
face of the teeth, which are the be-
ginning OF decay and the formation
of cavities g..
They can also train children in
tooth brush drill, prescribe mild an
tiseptics, give attention to beginning
liberation and infection of the gums
and mouth, and pick out those cases
which require operative treatment,
accompany them to the hospital or
clinic and follow them up and see
that they get and give themselves
proper after-care,
Like Trained Nurses.
The value of their services to the
community would be simply incalcu-
able; they would play the same price
less part in the progress of dental
medicine that the trained nurse has
in that OF general medicine and sur
gerry. So far from in anyway inter.
fering with or usurping the place OF
the dentist they would simply esta-
blish his professional work and stand
ing in the community upon broader
and more successful basis than ever
before. a.,
1t is an honor and credit to the
dental profession that the proposal
for their training and employment
should have come from it, even APP
parently against its own selfish inter-
ests and for the broader welfare Of
the community. Their entrance into
the field Of public health marks a
new era in preventive dentistry and
in the welfare and happiness Of our
children.
Prevents Disease.
The motto of the community for its
children should be the Scriptural one,

Meat and Sardfne Sandwiches
By CONSTANCE CLARKE.

Sandwiches are always popular if
nicely made. They are perhaps more
often used in summer than at any
other period of the year. Picnickers
and travellers find sandwiches the
rhost compact and convenient way of
carrying fairly substantial meal, and
they are always appreciated when
served for luncheon, afternoon teas,
suppers and lawn or porch parties.
Take any kind OF cold meat, such
as beef, veal or pork and to each
half-pound add six boned sardines,
six chopped olives, teaspoonful of
French capers and tiny dust of pap
rika pepper. Pound these all together
till smooth, then rub through a wire
sieve. Cut some thin slices Of bread,

BY WOODS HUTCHINSON, M. D.,

That the keynote of modern dent
istry is prevention is nowhere more
strikingly illustrated than in the great
Forsythe institute of Boston, with its
10000 patients year and its training
school for dental nurses.
Though practically charity, in the
best sense of the much abused term,
every child who enters its doors is a
pay patient, being charged a fee of S
cents for each visit, which he hands
in in person, and receives receipt for.
As Mr.. Forsythe quantity says, He is
simply buying in the cheapest market.
Every child has right to do that"
But no hospital that charges 81 a
day for a private room is more beauti-
fully and artistically designed and
furnished, more superbly equipped
with everything that makes for the
comfort and happiness of its patients
] than this. From its great waiting
room with books and. pictures and
flowers and glittering fishes in great
glass aquaria to its nickel and enamel
finished "one-night" surgical wards,
where the little patients who require
to have their adenoids or tonsils re-
moved or some plastic operation upon
the jaws or palate are kept to sleep off
their ether.
Cities Waking Up.
Which is significant OF the change
that has come over the new preventive
dentistry. More than half the deformi-
ties Of the jaws and irregularities and
crowding of the teeth are due to OBJ
structed nostrils and the mouth
breathing which this condition COM
pels. Not open your mouth and shut
your eyes, but open your nose and
shut your mouth is the nursery
rhyme OF the orthodontists.
But there is only one Boston--on
this side OF Jordan--and one Forsythe
institute, and the question is, what are
the rest of the cities going to- do to
catch up?
Most cities which have modern
sense Of civic pride are making some
sort Of an attempt at taking care Of
the teeth OF their school children,
some ESQ having new school dental
clinics. For the most part this has
not got much beyond the stage Of ex-
animation and publicity, followed by
some good advice to and mild pres
sure upon parents to have their chill
dren's teeth attended 10. The find
ings are appailingly similar all over
the country; that is, they would be
appalling Il they hadn't already be-
come so familiar. L
Anywhere from eighty-fiye to LIS
per 1000 OF our school children are
in need Of dental care; or, counting
each tooth, about 600 per 1000.
Operators Too Few.
Under these conditions, It is all very
we'll to urge parents to do their duty
BY their children's teeth. But what
would happen if they took the advicei

Summer Foods

This is the season when ready-to-
serve foods are in demand ali over
America.
"Out with the coal range" says the
housewife, "the kitchen is too warm
already" Easy with the gas and every
other form of fuel. I'VE don't want
heavy meals this time OF the year,
anyway" }
Let's set out something light, cool
and refreshing. Let's serve it in the
open air, if possible. Open-air picnics
those are the things that revive the
spirit in summer. Let's consult with
the grocer or delicatessen. Surely
they will be able to suggest some
thing!"
Each year the trend is more and
more toward the use Of ready-to-serve
foods. Housewives don't want the
muss and heat necessary to the old
fashioned preparation Of nutritive
foods.
Only selected ingredients are used
and every attention is given to the
sanitary conditions surrounding their
manufacture, packing and shipping.
The meats are all United States
government inspected and are pre-
pared by expert chefs.
The very best special loaf is pre-
pared from carefully selected beef
and pork carvings. The flavor is care
fully blended with high-grade maca-
roni and cheese. These loaf goods are
nicely spiced and scientifically baked
very delicious and appetizing. May
be served cold or quickly heated to
serve warm.
The delicious je1lied products should
be chilled before serving and served
cold. Jellied lamb tongues, luncheon
tongue, corned beef and gelatin, tripe
and other delicacies can now be had
from your dealer for the asking.

loves me? HARRY H.
II your intentions are to marry this young
woman or even to continue your interest
ing friendship you certainly ought to meet
her parents. I admire your attitude in
asking to meet them, and think the girls
attitude in refusing a foolish one but 1t
does not necessarily mean that she doesn't
love you. Possibly her parents are bit
old-fashioned and she Is SO foolish as not
to be proud of them. Or. perhaps. she
feels they are not ready to have her marry
or. on the other hand. that they might be
inclined to demand your intentions and so
force your hand.
Introduction Is Needed.
Dear Miss Fairfax: am anxious to
meet a girl whose personality is very at
tractve. l see her every day. Would you
suggest writing her Il card that l would
like to call at her home? INTERESTED.
II your admiration Is sincere think you
will be able to meet this girl through an
introduction, which is the only proper way.
