speak a word of the langUage-you
may be weeks without the beauty
comfort you need. Then. indeed the
bottle Of toilet water which you have
forgotten to bring, the thin bleful of
cold cream and the cake OF good
soap left behind are appreciated
blessings.
So At up your travelling beauty
box with every convenience before
YOU start upon your summer outing.
Here are some of the things il
should contain:
A comb with coarse teeth. a brush
with firm bristles, cold cream, pow

Boy lnvents "Shower Alarm"

! Now may the blush of humiliation
and chagrin mantle the check of Thorn
as A. Edison. For 13-year-old Mimi
eapo.is boy has done that which has
baf1led the great inventors of the CEN
turtles.
| He has solved the problem of the ages
done what none of the rest could ever
do. He has perfected a device to awak-
en- the hired girl and cause her to close
! the windows when ii rains at night.
| No longer will the patter of falling
drops on the shingled cause mother to
pass hours of sleepIcss worry as to the
fate of the new Wilton in the dining
room or the new lace curtains in the
parlor.
She will know that Mary Ann has
been called out by the shower alarm
and is even then on the job. slamming
down the loaded easements.
The inventor of the shower alarm" is
Morton Grant, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
". H. Grant and here's the real dope,
right out Of the dope book, on Morton,
the boy wizard:
The device consists of a dry battery.
a funnel opening upward and descend
ing into small box placed outside the
window. an electric bell in the hired
girls room and wires connecting the
box and the bell.
Inside the box are two brass contract
points. connected By a strip of dry pa
per, which is nonconductor. When it
starts raining the first drops fall into
the funnel. run down into the box and
wet the paper. The paper, as soon as
wet, becomes conductor, connects the
two contact points and completes the
electrical circuit, ringing the bell. And
| the bell keeps on ringing until some one
disconnects the shower alarm" too.
OF course. If you decide to install one
of the shower alarms" and haven't got
a maid. you can put the bell in fathers
room.-Minneapolis Journal.

Conventions are often the arbitrary
creations of social classes. but man.
ners are the Towering of fine character,
wide contact with men and women. tho
enrichment of individuals by assimila-
ton of the best that men have achieved
1t is wholly false idea Of democracy
which breeds suspicion of manners and
identifies independence with rudeness
and crudity.
The man who prides himself on his
piainness and bluntness as the signs of
the honesty and sincerity Of his nature
is. generally speaking. the man who
lacks consideration for others, and who
has become the victim of repellant
form Of egotism.
Honesty and bad manners have no
real kinship. It is a curious fact that
the people which are defective in polite
ness, like the Americans. the English
and the Germans, suspect the sincerity
Of the polite races. like the Latins and
the Orientals. They fail to take into
account the ripening power of anti
guilty
There are very few subjects which
can be so effectively taught as the prac-
tice of good manners; and they ought to
be taught, as the use of English ought
to be taught, not as a matter of book
instruction, but as part of every
school exercise.
Not only arc good manners not I'M
democratic, they are more essential in
democracy than in any other form of
society; for, instead Of being mere So
cial conventions. they are the express
sions of respect for the dignity and in
tegrity of others. and that is the very
soul Of the democratic order. In a So
ciety In which every man and woman is
free to think, speak and to act there is
far greater necessity for self-imposed
restraint than in society in which peo-
pie are kept in their places by force
imposed from above.-Outlook.

The Care Of the Teetl,

If anything is certain i'm medicine. it
is that clean teeth arc safer than dirty
ones. Tho care of the teeth should be-
gin at birth. If the infant cannot be
breast fed the diet should be supervised
by an expert on infant feeding. If
cows milk is pasteurizcd. fresh orange
juice should be given daily. beginning
with the third to the sixth month.
Thumb sucking should be prohibited; it
tends to deform the jaws. Later, If
adenoids and enlarged tonsils are sus-
pccted, a ply stefan should be consulted
as to the advisabilit' of removing them.
From the sixth year of life on a dentist
should be consulted every six months
throughout life.
Tho habit Of using toothbrush
should be acquired as soon as a child
can WELD it. and the habit should never
be abandoned The teeth should be
brushed at least twice day. Not only
the teeth. but the gums and the back of
the tongue should be cleansed. The US
ual saving movement of the brush
across the teeth is far less eff1cacious
than a rotary movement directed from
the gum downward 4 thorough rims
between the teeth is of great impor-
tancc.
\ diet should be adhered to through
out life which requires good deal of
nlaStication.
Thc use of fruit acids, especially that
of the apple. orange and grapefruit,
tends to clean the teeth, and theoreti-
cally at least. prevents the deposit of
tartar s.'.---
Finally the sufferer from bad teeth
and unhealthy gums should by prefer

Skill but primarily on knowledge and
appreciation OF the necessity of asepsis

Tighten Bonds Of MARRIAGE

For the past 25 years the Episcopal
Church has been wrestling with the
complicated question Of marriage and
divorce. The high ~churchman ranks
marriage as a sacrament, and is unal-
terably opposed to any dissolution of
the relationship for any cause whatso-
ever. Not few of the broad church.
men-notably Bishop Greer-agree with
the conclusion. but on totally different
grounds. They are profoundly i'm
pressed by the alarming growth Of di-
vorce and its consequent social peril
They believe the institution of marriage
to be in grave peril. Frankly rccog-
nizing the hardship which the abolition
of divorce would cause In individual
cases. they yet believe It to be neces-
sary If the fabric Of the family is to re-
main unimpaired.
AS the canon law now stands, a clcr-
gyman is forbidden to marry a divorced
person who has husband or wife liv-
ing. The only exception to this string
ent rule is in the case Of the innocent
party to a divorce. This exception is
carefully guarded against abuse. Such
marriage cannot be solemnizcd until
twelve months have elapsed The de-
cree of the court and the records must
be submitted to the bishop, whose con-
sent to the service is necessary.
Now an effort is to be made Cat the
forty-fourth general convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church at st.
Louis. October ~ to so further. A
commission of the general convention
has been sitting for the past three
years. and it now recommends the pas
sage of canon which would repeal the
above exception and entirely preclude
the church marriage of any divorced
person The commission has been led
to this conclusion by it's conviction that
collusion is widely prevalent. and also
by the difficulty of determining the guilt
or innocence of parties to a divorce-E.

In the first place, don't actually strike

Of common interest. most important
of which was the endorsement OF can
didates for Office from this and other
sections. Up to time the Commercial

cancy in the legislative ticket; wheth-
or there would be an election or wheth-
err the vacancy would pe filled by the
city committee. Mr.. Mutty has settled
