 Note how c11ildren's teeth de- cay-and perhaps your own despite the daily brushing. Every woman knows that old methods of teeth cleaning are inadequate. Every dentist knows it.
 ! The reason lies in that slirny film. You feel it with your tongue. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. And the tooth brush doesn't end it.
 That film is what disco1ors- not the teeth. It is the basis of tartar. It holds food substance which ferrnents and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the Ceetn to cause QeCdy.
 Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Thus most tooth troubles are now traced to film.
 Dental science, after years of searching, has found a way to combat film. Dental authori- ties have proved this beyond question. Now the method is embodied in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And we offer to all 10-Day Tube to show ev- cry home what it does.

The Simla Hills of Kipling fame and
the interesting Puniab country again
were brought to public attention this
year by reports of riots among nations
who had been aroused by the rumored
destruction of the golden temple OF
Amritsar, a principal city of this pro-

EGYPT: A DIAMOND MINE
OF HISTORY

Egypt annually supplies the world
with a precious product, an increasing
knowledge of the early life story of
the human race In the wonderful
record of exploration which has re-
stored to us the civilization of the
great pre-cassieal nations, there is no
more remarkable chapter than that
which tells Of the resurrection of an
cient Egypt. A communication to the
National Geographic society by James
Baikie, says;
"The science of Egyptology, which
is slowly and patiently reconstructing
for us the ordered history Of the 1900
years before Christ, enabling US to see
the types of men. the manner of life,
the forms of government, the religious
customs and beliefs of period after

of our own time.

THE EVOLUTION OF FIRE
FIGHTING

The passing of the fire horses from
Manhattan island and the installation
of high-pressure water system in
Boston to eliminate even the fire en-
gine are further steps in the stage of
progress from the romantic days of
the picturesque old hand tubs. Older
folk may remember when citizens
tricked themselves out in red shirts
and glazed caps and carried torches
in the front of a procession, or formed
part of the bodyguard of the gallant
old tub as it paraded the streets on
gala occasion. Then passion for fire
fighting ran to high pitch and argu-
ments were waged about the merits Of
particular engines. Today the throbs
of a motor-dri engine are taking
the place of those heart throbs. The
horses that might have clattered from
their stalls, glded beneath their har-
ness. and raced gloriously through the
drizzly, night-darkened streets before
the fre-spitting demon, are drawing
farm wagons or plowing the field.
In by-gone days communities were
dependent upon volunteers, and men
from all social ranks gave valuable
time to qualify for the service.
Fire fighting in some sort of organ
ized form Is ancient. Machines for
throwing water from distance were
known, according to our first clear evil
dence. in the second century before

chine used in Egypt during the time
of the Ptolemies. 1t was composed of
two brass cylinders resting on a wood
en- base with plstons fitted into them
in its principles practically like our
present engine. Like most other
knowledge, this was lost in the dark
ages which followed.
The Romans had squads of men
to carry water in "hamae," or light
vases. to the scene of an outbreak
where it was projected onto the fire

or hand pumps. The precise nature
Of this instrument has not been deter
mined but from specimens found in
excavations 1t must have been much
like fhe old-fashioned syringe used by
gardeners. These large organizations
of men gave the Roman authorities
trouble by their turbulence. Trajan.
the Roman emperor, and Plfny, at that
time one of his governors, had long
and serious correspondence over the
advisability Of organizing fire depart
mepts in the cities under Pliny's juris-
diction. leading to the conclusion that
such groups would attain sufficient
strength to he menace to the gov
ernment.
Mention is made of the medieval
use of forcing pumps on fire engines
at Augsburg in 1913. England and
rbe countries of the continent were

with pottery dishes. splendid copper
bowls, carved ivory boxes, golden but

chairs and couches of elaborate de-
sign and decoration, ivory and pottery

of the kings valor in war or his piety
in the founding of temples.

and sorrowed as men do still. Close
to Mena's second tomb at Abydos lies
that of his daughter ner-ab-'Sweet-
how love and death went side by side
then as now.
1.-THE furniture of the tombs reveals
an amazing proficiency in the arts and
crafts. Ebony chests inlaid with ivory );
stools with ivory feet carved in the
shape of bulls legs; vessels cut and
ground to translucent thinness, not
only out of soft alabaster, but out of
an iron-hard stone like dlorite; finely
wrought copper ewers all tell us that
the Egyptian of the earliest dynastic
period was no rude barbarian, but a
highly civilized craftsman. Perhaps
the daintiest and most convincing evil
dence of his skill is given by the brace
lets which were found encircling the
skeleton arm of the queen of King Ter,
of the first dynasty"

,y1QM WOMAN tells in recently
sSN4S8fsSsd published magazines how
SS3I9E|a she has "pillow Christ
>S7s&esN mas" for the benefit of her
many friends. She con-
suited the piece bag, and from 1t drew
forth the materials for making any
quantity of dainty sofa pillows, all des-
tined for different friends The cost
of the materials was chiefly that spent
for silk cords, for embroidery silk and
for filling for the completed pillows.
Nearly all the pillows were made by
COUGHING figures cut from contrasting
materials on chosen background,
and the result was completed. The
very same idea might also be carried
into effect by the girl who loves to
make dainty stocks. There never was
time when the prevailing styles of
fered such a dainty array of collars,
and a box of assorted colors and kinds
would be welcomed by any girl friend.
There might be found in the piece
bag all sorts of bits of silk and rib
bon which could be fashioned into the
daintiest of dressy stocks. as well as
bits of lawn and percale which would
do nicely for stocks for every day
wear with cotton shirt waists. The
gift of a box of stocks might be made
valuable if the box itself was thing
of beauty, and this could be brought
to pass by the girl who is expert with
her needle. Giving the same sort of
gift to large number of people is
perfectly proper if the gift is one which
is calculated tc please everybody.
