has been the second day of a session
the day when Congress usually re-

The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1920-03-04

We have been told that appearance
is deceitful. In my opinion that is a
mis-statement. Appearances are de-
ceitful only when they are deliberate
ly meant to deceive. The average in
dividual who lives a normal life in a
normal manner without pretense or
artificiahty in the way of dress or
manners is as easy to read as book.
The external appearance Of the per-
son, who is not consciously playing
a part, invariably tells great deal
about the mental processes and habits
of the individual.
Shop keepers dress their windows
to show the kind of goods carried in
stock. In the same degree the dress,
grooming, manners and carriage rep
resent a persons character. Atten-
ton to these details does not indi-
cate vanity, bat ambition and self
respect. A careless, untidy person
may be more vain than one who de-
votes a great deal Of time to clothes
and personal appearance.
In cities this fact is recognized
more than anywhere else. The fight
for existence makes it necessary.
Young people learn early the import
ance of making a good appearance
They sense the fact, even if it has

never been taught them, that their
abilities are appraised and characters
read by the evidence of their appear
ance and demeanor. Looks and poise,
therefore, have a real commercial
value in every day business life. The
person who is properly dressed and
neatly groomed conveys pleasing
impression of success and efficiency.
To have the hair dressed too elabor-
ately and the clothes extravagant and
unsuitable for the time or place is
just as much a mistake as to appear
untidy and disheveled.
One owes it to oneself as well as to
those with whom one is associated, to
always look ones best. In order to
do this, it is not necessary to appear
at nine o'clock in the morning as if
prepared for a dinner dance or a re-
hearsal under strong calcium lights.
Neither is it doing justice to oneself
or ones friends to go to the other ex-
treme and ignore social customs to
the extent Of wearing business clothes
and looking out of place and uncon-
ventional upon formal occasions.
The woman who is naturally beau
tiful should be thankful. Her beauty,
however, will not last unless given
proper care. Anyone who possesses
an article Of value and realizes its
worth, is never unwilling to take
proper precautions to guard that
possession. So women who are grace
full and beautiful by nature have
every reason to make a study of those
methods which are considered best
for the preservation of beauty. And
other women, less beautiful, but who
invariably possess one or more pleas
ing features, will find the time we'll
spent that is given to the develop
ment of grace and beauty to as great
an extent as their limitations will
permit.
That is why I am taking such a
special interest in these beauty talks.
I believe they can be made really
helpful. 1 shall even try to answer
personal letters whenever possible.
What advice give will be sincere and

doubly awkward and self-conscious
as a result of the treatment. No
woman whose face is fretful and
querulous during meal time will find
the cultivation Of beauty an easy
task.
Nevertheless, while there is life,
there is hope. Next week / shall take
up the subject of beautiful hair and
the best means for promoting its
growth.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES


The new school building is progress
sing splendidly. A large force OF plas-
terers are now on the job, and several
rooms have had the first and second
coats of plaster since the first OF the
week. The roof is complete except Tor
the gravel, the plumbers are well ad-
vanced with their work, and a well IS
now put down. If the swift progress
continues, we may we'll expect to be
installed in the new building for the
work of the second semester.
The girls physical training class has
been organized into four squads. The
leaders of each squads are as follows;
Squad /. Goldie Goldsmith, Squad z.
Hilda Morrill, Squad 8. Lillian Grauke,
Squad 4. Eta Watkins. The girls are
doing excellent work which may be
observed every morning from lO:lO to

and pointed out the better posslbl-

is to be hoped that they will profit by
what they saw and heard.

ORAL HYGIENE
FIRST STAGE OF THE DECAY
OF YOUR TEETH
(Ry Pea Proctor MCGEE, M. D., D. S.,
Editor Oral Hygiene)

If your knife and fork. spoon, plate,
cup and saucer were left from one
meal to another without washing, you
would change your clearinghouse.
But why be SC particular about out
side matters unless you thoroughly
cleanse your mouth after each meal.
When food is allowed to pack be-
tween and around the teeth carries, or
decay as it is commonly called, gets a
coed start The packed food decom-
poses and fermants, this makes the
bacteria happy so they all move in.
AS the bacteria get settled upon the
enameled surface of the teeth, they
cover themselves with a coating call
ed a gelatinOus plaque. Under this pro,
tectiye covering the bacteria grow I'M
less they are removed by thorough
cleansing.
Decay of the teeth, carries, is di
sease just the same as tuberculosis or
measles is disease. In this disease
the hardest tissue in the body is at
tackled.
The bacteria of decay are really tiny
plants. 1ney i've ana ole as Otner
plants do when they die, they decom-
pose and ferment, forming an acid.
This acid, in its fresh state, will dis
solve the enamel of the tooth a very
little at time at first but the further
! in the bacteria they get, the more
rapidly they work.
The enamel of the teeth is not SEN
sitive. 1t is composed entirely of the
salts and lime, shaped into microsco-
pic rods that are bound together by a
natural cement The rods all point
toward the center like the bricks in
an arch. Enamel is the armor plate
of a tooth; when the decay gets
through the ormor it reaches the ends
of the tiny fibres from the nerve that
radiate through the body of the tooth.
1t it here that you get that first
sharp pain that tells there is trouble
ahead, trouble that only one person
can stop, don't delay Your teeth are
too valuable.
