The phenomenal and continuous
growth Of association football is based
on the merits of the game. Once the
younger element have engaged in It
they are bound to 1t because it permits
the strong and the weak, the skilled
and the unskilled, the young and the
old, to enjoy the many varieties of ac-
ton and motion without unnecessary
danger and risk to life and limb.
New York city, Newark, Philadelphia,
Boston, Brockton, Chicago, st. Louis
and San Francisco are some Of the
prominent cities where the unceasing
efforts Of public school officials in re-
gard to the furtherance and proper de-
velopment of the game through well
conducted interclass and interschool
tournaments have been crowned with
great success. and with the constant
growth Of numbers Of players and In
structors there Is increased playing
Of the game throughout the country.

DENTAL HYGIENE.

How to Have Well Kept Teeth That
Last Lifetime.
We cannot all have small, even,
white teeth. but we can all have per-
fectly kept teeth. A careful mother
begins the attention to her children's
teeth as soon as they push through the
gums. She cleans them with bit Of
absorbent cotton on the end Of her
scrubbed finger. and as the child grows
older she brushes them. Nowadays all
the teeth Of all school children are
inspected, which will result in better
teeth, with no false teeth before the
age of fifty. except under unusual con-
ditions.
The teeth should be brushed after
every meal and cleaned with a paste
at least every other day. Do not use
any of the powders that are gritty,
however cleansing they may be. Teeth
cannot be treated the same as bath
tub. Always after eating anything
every particle of food should be re-
moved from between the teeth with
dental floss. This is really the only
safe means of dislodging foodstuff.
Brush up and down on the surface of
the teeth, not across. Gritty powders
in time destroy the enamel. and brush
ing across the grain has the same eff
feet Brush the inner side Of the teeth
as thoroughly as the outer. being care
full to cleanse the mouth well. Now.
the average woman is apt to feel she
has done her duty when the teeth are
brushed. This is not true. A mouth
wash is just as necessary. Rinse the
mouth daily with any good alkali

finished well up In the race. Mollwitz
was the real fielding leader among the
first basemen. while Groh led the Sec

he moved over to the far corner. In
addition to this, HerzOg stood second in

General Sir Charles Carmichael Mon
70, who was recently appointed to
command the British First army in
France and Flanders, has been on the
fighting line since the outbreak OF the
war. .E
Last October General Monro was
sent to the east for the purpose OF
reporting the state Of affairs in which
General Sir Ian Hamilton had left his
army and for extricating the army
from it's predicament If possible. In
accomplishing the evacuation Of the
northern. zone of the Gallipoli PENN
sula with the loss of but three men
wounded and of six guns he appears
to have accomplished his task bril-
liantly and is accordingly rewarded
with the command Of the First army.
At the opening Of the war he went
to France with Sir John French. and.
while he ranked as a commandant of
division, he was actually in charge of
only brigade. It was not until the
series of great battles fought on the
line between Ypres and La Basse In
the fall and winter of 1914-15 that bis
talents attracted attention.
His career. like those of practically
all distinguished British officers. has
been made in India. Egypt and South
Africa. After the Boer war he was
recalled to England and for several
years was chief inspector of the School
of Musketry at Hythe, then becoming
commandant of the school. The pres
emit war found him assigned to the
territorials with the rank OF major
general.

Spending Money Relative
Matter Whether It's Buyinq
Peanuts or a Private Car

The spending of thousands without
thought is probably not so different
from spending dimes and coppers
when you get used TO 1t. The man
who makes half million over night
in war babies probably feels much the
same when he blows $4,000 at a lick
as you do after you get your envelope
and take home a bag of peanuts TO the
kids. There is kind of glow of sat
isfaction in being able TO spend a
dime. As for the loss of the money
neither you nor the millionaire will
know the difference by Monday morn

To be had, and when the prospective
traveller was SO advised he seemed to

it by ordering the railroad folk to buy
