Why prettier teeth?
This method brings whittier, prettier teeth
because 1t fights the film. Your teeth are
now covered with a viscous coat. Feel it
with your tongue. 1t clings to teeth, enters
crevices and stays.
Old brushing methods do not remove it
all. Enough remains to make the teeth both
dingy and unsafe.
That is why teeth look cloudy. The film
coats absorb stains. Film also causes most
tooth troubles. And, under old methods. all
those troubles have been constantly increas-

COLLEGE
Entertainment

J. D. Brownell, president of the
Northland College, located at Ashland
Wisconsin, was here Tuesday evening
with his quartet Of four students and
a pianist, and gave a delightful en-
tertainment. Mr.. Brownell delivered
a very interesting talk of what the
college was doing among the young
people of the northern part of the
state. He said this college was fill
ing special field in education and
christian work. It was growing and
developing into real service for the
up-lift of the young people in north
ern Wisconsin.
The musical part of the program
was excellent throughout and the i'm
preston they made upon their audi
,ence was fully in accord with Mr..
Brownell's talk. If the balance of the
faculty and student life is equal to
what was represented here they GER
tainly will pass scrutiny. Refresh
ments were served by the gentlemen of
the church after the entertainment was
over.

ANLIFAMILY
A Talk With Our Wives, Mothers,
And Sisters.
When Time Hangs Heavy

In the whole task OF bringing up
children, there is hardly any problem
more puzzling than that Of how to
keep them occupied.
We know that the common practice
of harassing them with endless 'don'ts'
i all wrong. Very many children, who
would otherwise be obedient and du-
diful, are SO discouraged and depress-
ed by the futile effort to find anything
that they are permitted to do that they
give up in despair and cease to care
whether they do right or wrong; and
this is when our real trouble with
them begins.
Our chief concern as mothers is to
find things that they may do rather
than to spend our time telling them
what they must not do; and we all
know that this task is by no means the
easy one that others seem to think it
is.
There are two or three helpful plans
that we may follow if we care to take
the trouble. One is to make a real
study of the games that children may
play both indoors and out. There are
really very many of these, that they
would greatly enjoy if they only
knew them, and that are adapted to
groups of all sizes. We can easily
procure books describing them; and
after this we may not only be ready
for any emergency with the suggestion
Of some new game but we may even
arrange for our own and other children
TO get together in the right-sized
groups to play them. In general, this
plan offers far more help than it seems
for as the children learn a larger mum
Der Of enjoyable games, the occasions
when time hangs heavy on their hands
become fewer Indeed if they knew
enough such games there would be no
such occasions regardless of weather
or any other circumstance.
Another plan that will help the lit
tie ones to while away tedious time
IS the reading and telling of stories.
Few of US understand how much they
njoy telling stories to others or listen
ing to them when others tell them
The supply of really good stories is
practically inexhaustible and the books
containing them are inexpensive. The
children should be encouraged to read
them and after this to get together
and tell them to one another, each one
of course telling story that is new
to the others. This plan is nearly as
effective as that4of indoor and outdoor
games; and if the two are used to-
gether properly, they will go far to
ward solving our difficulties in finding
some thing for the children to do.

The fishermen in this locality can
not understand why it is that the Con-

Lemmonweir river are tributaries to
the Wisconsin river in Juneau county,
and in the spring of the year the fish
run up these streams from the Wis

caught, but not while in The Wiscon-

RAINY DAYS

Rain is pouring from the skies,
Gloomy day and cold,
Makes a fellow sort O. feel
He is getting old.
Makes me think of boyhood times
And the hundred ways
We used to while away the hours
During the rainy days.
Tinkering in fathers shop
Whiting out some toys,
Guns or boats or some such trick
Dear to hearts of boys.
Hulling walnuts, in the Fall
Stained like everything.
Rigging up our fishing poles
If it were in Spring.
Always used to puzzle me,
What the grown folks meant
Talking of a "rainy day.
And Saving every cent"
Weather never bothered me
Whether rain or sun;
Only, on the rainy days
We had the biggest fun.
Rainy days are coming now
Kind the grown folks knew.
Now and then / almost wish
I'd saved a little, too;
But then, we'll say, if rainy days
Hadn't been invented,
There is just a lot O folks
Would get too blamed contented!
