I'D you ever stop to think that
b good care of the toothbrush is
~ almost as essential as good
care Of the teeth7 Yet how
few persons really take the proper
care of either! Nothing spoils pretty
face so quickly as bad teeth, and the
girl who has any regard for her ap-
pearance will watch both her brush
and her teeth.
It never pays to invest IN q cheap
toothbrush. In the first place a bad
set Of bristles leave their work half
done. They have not the necessary
stiffness and resistance to clean the
teeth well Then the bristles in a
cheap brush are not we'll fastened and
ore apt to fall out. This makes cheap
toothbrush a real menace, for II the
hrtstles come loose in the mouth they
are apt to slip down the throat, catch
there and decay, or they may pierce
through the walls of the digestive
tract: *'sa ~ :; 5 1872

It Is better not to use a toothbrush

at a time, and it Is wiser to keep two
/ brushes going at once. In this way
one can be drying out and airing while
the other is in use, Be sure that the
brush Is well rinsed and thoroughly
clean Of all tooth paste or dirt before
hanging it up to dry. Once a week let
it boil in clear hot water for about five
| minutes to kill any germs which may
be lingering in the bristles and to dis
infect it well. '''
The teeth should be brushed after
each meal, before retiring and upon
arising in the morning. The nightly
cleansing, so often neglected, is In real

"Well, we can't very wen cali him by

Why Mosquitoes Like Blood.

The fact that mosquitoes so continu-
ally harass rich blooded creatures Is
due to the fact that they cannot lay
eggs without the a1buminous food
which is thus obtained In tropical
countries the greatest enemy Of the
malaria bearing mosquito is a species
Of bat which is protected from the liz
sect's bite by its strangely shaped
hairs.
The bat is very swift Of flight and
the mosquitoes, especially those which
have already made a supper of blood
are their ideal food.-St. Louis Post

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE feature of
the foreign exchange market at the open
ing this morning was strength in francs
in response to the credit arranged by
Finance Minister Ribot with Great Britain
for purchases in the United States.
Franc cables rose to 5.S74 and checks to
5.SS, a gain of nearly . points from the
recent figure. Rubles also on credit ar
rangementS showed increasing strength
and were quoted at SIX and 31i2. Last
week this class of exchange was quoted
under 30. Business in reichsmarsk is so
limited as to make quotations largely
nominal. This was proved by the de.
cline in rechsmarks from rs a few days
ago to rs a. 753t this morning. Sterling
showed but little feature and was quoted
at 4.755s@4.75 15-16 for demand and
4.76 7-16@476ia for cables. Other quota.
tions were: Lire cables 6.74la; checks,
675; Swiss cables. 5.2l; checks, 5.21la;
Vienna. li@1i.10. These figures com
pare with recent high of 1926 and
1850 Stockholm was quoted at 2S15
and 2S25. Pesetas 10 and 1925; guilders,
42A and 42E.
In the afternoon French exchange ad-
vanccd further to 5.S67s for cables and
5.S7ia for checks. Reichsmarks were nom

A o-point rise in Pennsylvania Steel
preferred and a gain of about TWO
points in the common was the chiet iea-
ture of an otherwise unnteresting ses-
sion on the Philadelphia exchange TO-
day. Activity in Cambria Steel at the
same time attracted attention. The
street has been expecting some sort of
development in Pennsylvania Steel SINH
lar TO that which occurred i'm Cambria,
The feeling seems to be that Mr. Donner
will now concentrate his energies on the
former company and that it will be com
bined with the new Donner steel Com
pany and possibly one or two other con-
Germs. A stimulating influence in the last
"a hours is the remarkable showing made
by the United states Steel statement OF
untitled orders, 1t being taken as CON
crete indication Of the status of the steel
trade in general. High prices and un-
precedented activity. the street feels,
should continue for long time to come,
and the boom in the trade Is bound to be
reflected in the quotations for all the
steel stocks on Change.
Another report current in the financial
district regarding Pennsylvania Steel was
to the effect that negotiations had been
reopened by the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany for the Pennsylvania Steel stock
held by the Reading and Pennsylvania
Railroad Companies. The rumor was
strengthened by a reported visit of
Charles NJ Schwab to the Pennsylvania
Railroad offices at Broad street Station
this morning.
II is expected that the s5O,OOOOOO of .
per cent. convertible bonds of the Midvale
Steel and Ordnance Company will be Of
fered for subscription early next week
at around par, possibly a shade below
that figure. II is understood that the
underwriting syndicate took the bonds
from the company at 10, in which case n
total of S475GO,0 900 was realized. on the
basis of $50 per share, less an UNDER
writing commission of Pc per cent. the
company also will realize from the sale
of the s25,0O0,OOO OF new stock a total of
S29. 10000 which together with the pro-
