wildly when their emotions are
aroused. there is not that constant
play Of the smile over the face of
the most primitive of savages that
there is among persons of advanced
Intellectual types.
In youth we have many ways of
smiling. There is the surprised
smile, the bashfuI smile. and the
coy smile, the smile of content, the
smile of deep affection. the smile oe
, satisfaction and the one that comes
from sheer pleasure at being alive
in the great. bright outdoors. Az
We grow older there is a tendency
to lose variety in our smile. Some
older persons never smile with
their eyes, and as they grow older
their smile is nothing but a stere-
otyped contraction of certain mus
cles Of the lips and cheeks. With
the man or woman who possesses
the really captivating, charming
smile there is small danger that age
will thus deplete its infinite va
riety.
Rubens loved to paint his first
wife, Isabella Brant whose smile
was one of her claims to charm.

A Feeling Of Security

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such a medicine is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp-Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
1t is not a stimulant and is taken In
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
1t is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and blad-
der troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmers Swamp
Root.
If you need a medicine, you should
have the best. On sale at all drug stores
in bottles Of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

RepIant Your Lost Teeth.

When ones front teeth are knocked
out there is no need to leave them on
the floor, for they can be reinserted
by n good dentist.
DR.. II. NJ. Slavery tells in the Lam
Get Uondon), of two cases, in each
of which several teeth were dislo-
Gated from their sockets. In one case
the teeth were placed in salt water
while the dentist carefully washed
out the sockets Then they were
reinserted, q stitch or two taken
in the gums and the jaws were ban
daged shut so that the teeth bit on
q pad of lint. In the other case the
teeth still hung to the gums, so the
sockets were cleaned out without de-
taching the teeth. In both cases the
teeth became solidly fixed and the
patients could use them for normal
biting in few months after the acct
dent.
DR.. De Witt G. Henry of New York
replaced not long ago the teeth Of a
truck driver that had been knocked
out in a collision. The man had
picked his teeth from the gutter and
ran up to the dentists office carrying
them in his hand.

During the long nights of winter
great drops often occur, and a garage
