Facts of Dentistry.

The first American dentist to prac.
tice that profession exclusively was
probably a Doctor Jones, who opened
the pioneer dental Office In New York
131 years ago, according to q notice
appearing in the newspapers OF that
period.
It is only within the last half century
that dental surgery has become a real
science. Before that time physicians
were called on to pull aching molars,
and at an earlier period BARRIERS were
usually dentists. The elaborate dental
work Of today Is a development of the
last quarter of a century.
Odontology, the science Of the teeth
may be said to have commenced with
the researches of Prof. Richard Owen
who in 1889 made the first definite an
nouncement Of the organic connection
between the vascular and the hard sub.
stance Of the tooth.

Planning House. Cleaning Labors.

Better equipment and more systematic
planning help the housekeeper to do her
cleaning more easily and quickly. Il Ia
well to have special place where clean.
ing utensils may be kept In the best con.
dition and ready for instant use, sug.
gests the Department of Agriculture.
Much time and energy is spent in collect
ing the utensils needed for cleaning.
A closet, cupboard, or wardrobe in the
kitchen is the best place for keeping the
cleaning utensils. A back stairs closet
is also good place. One end of back
porch may be inclosed and used for such
purpose. The closet should have
plenty of hooks and racks for utensils
and shelf for cleaning materials.
The housekeeper should choose uten-
sils according to her own needs and
according to the requirements Of her
house. Those suggested below are In.
expensive and will help to tighten the
work Of cleaning:
Bucket with wringer for hopping.
A piece of inch board 10 inches square
with rollers makes convenient platform
on which to set the mop bucket, and
permits 1t to be moved easily without
lifting.
Wall mop made by tying bag made
OF wool or cotton cloth over an ordinary
broom.
A broom, with q hook screwed in the
end of the handle, by which It can be
hung up.
A long handled dustpau.
Several brushes for cleaning purposes.
Cheesecloth, worn silk and flapnelette
for busters.
Busters may be made by dipping
pieces of cheesecloth in two quarts Of
warm water to which one half cup Of
kerosene has been added. These cloths
should be kept away from the stove or
lighted lamp, az they are infammable.
A blackboard eraser covered with
hannelette for stove polishing.
An oiled floor mop to use on oiled or
polished floors. Several makes can be
found on the market, or one may be
made OF old stockings or any discarded
wooden or fannelette material. The
material 10 cut into one-inch strips and
sewed across the middle to foundation
OF heavy cloth. This 10 fastened to an
old broom handle or used In Q clamp
mop handle. The mop is dipped into
solution made of oue-half cup melted
parafin and one cup kerosene, and allow.
ed to dry. To keep It moist, It IL rolled
tight and kept ina paper bag, away from
stove or lamp.
