THE Teeth

Proper care of the mouth and
teeth cannot be strongly impressed
on every one. The effect of the teeth
on the digestion has long been noted
and for a long time this was sup
posed to be because the person suf-
fering From missing or decayed teeth
could not properly chew their food,
Now, however, it is clearing under
stood that decayed teeth give rise
to many forms of Indigestion be-
cause of the bacteria, or germs,
which are always present in the
mouth. Bacteria also collect in the
mucous of the mouth and on the
teeth and gums; if these are not re-
moved a sticky coated surface forms
on the teeth and bacteria form in
this as also does pus which if taken
into the system causes many forms
of rheumatism, hGart and kidney dis
eases.
To keep the mouth and teeth
healthy the teeth should have prop
er use, proper care and proper treat
ment. Teeth demand exercise, hence
such food as will furnish this exer-
else is necessary to every diet. Chill

Simple Method of
Regulating Curtains

Many new homes have French win
dows, which swing out instead of
sliding up and down. Lace curtains
for windows of this sort are not
practical and the one ordinarily used
is called a Venetian curtain, made
of a silk material and drawn up
with a cord
The usual method is to have
hook on the side of the window to
which the cord is attached to hold
the curtain at any desired height
A much more simple plan is to get
the exact weight of the curtain and
place inside the tassel a bag of lead
of equal weight. This will allow the
curtain to be lowered or raised at
will and does away with the hooks.
securing the curtain by establish
ing an even balance.

HOW TO KEEP WELL

teeth" of small children should be
inspected at least once a year by a
good dentist, for prompt attention to
small cavities often means protec-

adult. The acute pain caused by a
decayed tooth or a diseased nerve
would seem to be another effort on

Your trouble is that you are

all young folks are entitled; but
I want to say this to you. Think
how much harder things are for
your mother. She has eight
children and has spent her life
in caring for them and provid-
ing for their needs. Don't you
think her daughter (and all the
other children) should be willing
TO do wha" she can to help
poor, tired mother? I believe
that if, instead of thinking how
hard things are Gard 1 know
they are hard and am sorry
about itl, you would plan out
your days work Systematically,
get through with it as soon as
possible and then take little
while to do just the things thai
you like, you would be happier.
Go to school, even if you have to
do all the other things, too, be-
cause some day. if you can Sc
cure a good education, you will
find lots of happiness in books
and other things. And about the
two little siSters-instead of be-
ing a little bit cross about hay

towards training them to take
