FROM THE PEOPLE
SIMPLE METHOD OF KEEPING
TOOTHBRUSH CLEAN.

Editor East Oregonian!
A great deal has been said Of late
through the newspapers and maga-
zines about how to keep the tooth
brush clean and sterile
The most practical suggestion along
this line appeared in one OF the den
tai magazines for February written
by DR. Hugh w. Macmillan of Cincin-
mai ohio who ays
Most everybody agrees that second
to thorough mastication OF coarse
foods a sterile brush properly used is
the best agent that We can employ for
stimulation of the gums and cleaning
the teeth. The whole problem is to
find a method Of sterilizing which
can be accomplished quickly and cas-
lily without destroying the brush by
boiling or strong antiseptics which
will furnish the brush in a dry state
preparatory to using and which will
not consume an appreciable length of
time in consummating.
After considerable thought for a
simple and efficient method OF mouth
hygiene the following plan seems tc
solve most difficulties. The patient is
advised to keep an approved tooth
brush and a salt cellar (preferably
aluminus) as his mouth hygiene
equipment After properly brushing
his gums and teeth sufficient salt il
sprinkled in a glass or warm water to
make a normal salt solution (approxi-
mately half a teaspoonful Of salD
This is used as a mouth wash. The
brush is then held under the running
water and cleansed as thoroughly as
possible, Salt is then sprinkled up
on the brush. The salt is dissolved
on the wet brush and penetrates
thoroughly to the center Of the tufts
Of the brisles The brush Is then
hung in the usual place. When it is
again needed the water will have
been eyaporated leaving a deposition
of salt crystals in and around every
brstle. Can you imagine germs liy-
ing in such environment? Use the
brush AS it appears covered with salt
or ID too salty, wash off the excess
salt and apply YOUR favo,ite powder /.
This procedure thoroughly stertl- +
yes and toughens the bristles. can be /

THE TOWN THAT HELPS
ITSELF

"a ENDLETON has made
u substantial progress in
recent years and the
greater part of this growth
may be attributed to the enter
prise and activity of the peo-
pie. A few days ago the East
Oregonian commented on the
woolen mill, the state hospital
and the new railroad terminal
and their bearing on the city's
development.
We have also gained, in
population and in business
through such Improvements as
the water system and the new
high school. The fact We have
an adequate supply of splend-
i'd water is a great inducement
to people who locate here.
That the high school has
brought results is conclusively
shown by the fact the enroll
ment is double what it was
when the old building was in
use.

~ \ the part of the travel
W ing public there will be
considerable interest in
an order by the Union Pacific
management with reference to
temperatures in passenger
coaches.
The order reciteS that it is
less than two years since a sci.
enlist made a series of expert
mentS which proved to medical
authorities that high tempera-
lures were more injurious to
health than lack of fresh air
yet here is this new and i'm
portant theory already in prac-
tice and on an important scale.
Following is the text of the
order issued to trainmen by
General superintendent W. NJ.
Jeffers of the Union Pacific
system:
All sleepers, chair cars and
coaches operated over Union
Pacific lines are equipped with
yentilating systems by which
an adequate supply of fresh
air is provided.
Cars must be we'll ventilat-
ed at all times and not allow

~ GRATING the average
y man for being afraid to
take advantage of new
opportunities open to him
Hugh S. Fullerton, in a current
magazine article says:
Thousands of us who are
making fairly comfortable liv-
ingS for families pass plain
turning points. refusing to turn
or to attack the opening
through sheer timidity. There
is no class so timid as the man
with a family, who refuses to
change because he fears he
will risk the small sum he has
accumulated to educate the
children and provide for the
family in case of his death.
Ninety-nine out of one hun.
dred men In this class keep
straight ahead when they see
a turning point clearly"
On the other hand the world
is full Of people who have
tried something new only to
find they went from the frying
pan into the fire. Many men
heve been fortunate through
being to stupid or too fearful
to heed the turning point" tt
IS Just as we'll to look closely on
all sides Of a new proposition
before taking it up.
