TEETH MENDING IN CHILE.
Not an Easy Matter For Foreign Den
 lists to Practice There.

Not every foreigner who comes along with the claim of being a dentist can practice that profession in Chile. The government sees to it that any one who is to look after the health and preservation of the teeth of its people must first demonstrate his qualifica tiOns.
 The law provides that before Ii cense may be granted a foreigner to practice dentistry in the country tli2 applicant must secure permission froia the rector of the University of Chile io take the examination. His foreign di ploma, duly certified and authenticat- ed, must be attached to the permit, and fee of 800 pesos (about $I15 in United States mOney) must be deposited for the license in the office of the secrc tary of the university. If the applicant passes the examination successfully thr license is issued, and he is authorizes to open his office for business.
 Any applicant who holds a dental diploma from a school not known or recognized by the Chilean authorities is required to complete the third years work of the dental department of thc University of Chile and must also pass satisfactory examination before he can obtain q license to practice.-Pan American Bulletin.

In bringing up my children I found that at night when they were tired they were spared many tears by being warned before I gave them q strict command. Instead of saying Now it Is time to go to bed Put away your blocks at Once," would say: "It Is nearly time to go to bed. Finish your house first and then put away your blocks" In this way the, children were fully prepared to go, and there. .wss consequently no begging and no temp. tation for me to show. my lack of firm ness by being persuaded to allow them to build "just one more house.
