Editorials For
Women Folks

"The Other Woman is at the bot
tom not only of matrimonial troubles
but the everyday life of every
woman" So says Margaret Slattery
now giving a series of talks at the
Y. w. c. A. New York City, during
March.
Jealousy and suspicion among
women towards each other are ira
ditional," she says. Until one
woman learns to look at the other
and appraise her at the highest
point possible, we can never expect
the full development of women. I
can't work under a woman is a
common declaration of girls in
offices. Girls closely scrutinize the
boss wife when she visits the Office,
appraise her clothes and her man
ner. L wonder what he ever saw
in her. they say. And the boss
wife instinctively looks with curiosi-
ty at the girls who share her hus-
bands daily life and probably know
more than she does about him. Be-
ing impersonal is the hardest job
ahead of women. To forget the
other woman's hat is real achieve
ment."

How To Keep
Yourself Well
Treatment for Burns

The pain following a burn is
usually intense and is increased by
exposure of the part to the air.
Shock is usually present to a very
marked degree.
The pain and shock should be
promptly treated. II a large sur
face has been burned, only a small
portion should be exposed and
dressed at a time. If the clothing
sticks to the burn. moisten it with
oil or water until 1t can be removed
without using force. Exclude air
by covering all of the burned sur
face with paste made OF water
and baking soda, starch. or flour.
Fresh lard, any fresh oil or fat,
cream, vaseline or cold cream are
also useful. Take a cloth or band
age, smeared over with whichever
of the above substances you have
used on the burn, and cover the en-
tire Redeemed surace with it. Then
bandage the burned surface lightly,
in order not to cause any pressure
over the injury. Salt water is said
to be a good application to burns.

salt to q pint of water. Melted par
affin is one of the best applications,
but 1t should be used only by a
physician or other person trained in
its application.

This is read by astrologers as a
quiet day. Saturn rules strongly for
good. The Sun is adverse.
Farmers should benefit, for the
stars foreshadow good crops in
many parts of the country. They
will be disturbed in regard to poll

There is a promising sign today
for mines and mining. Discoveries
Of precious mineral are forecast, and
a boom in the West is indicated.
Success for a clergyman who will
become a leader in civic affairs is
prognosticated.
This should be a favorable day
for those who preach orthodox
creeds, because what has been long
established has special significance
under this sway.
Many deaths among bankers and
fnanciers are foretOld. One man

Those who follow the prophecies of

were made under the most menac-
ing rule of the stars.
Venus in the third is favorable TO
railway interests, and these may ex-
tend greatly in the next two years.
Educational affairs should prosper
greatly, so far as instruction is con-
cerned, but money will be needed
in many places.

Persons whose birthdate 1t IS

"Your Teeth
FIRST STAGE OF THE DECAY
OF THE TEETH
BY Rca Proctor MCGEE, MD, DDS.
editor Oral Hygiene)

BY Hcd tTOCtOF MCNree, Ih.D.s D.D.S.
editor Oral Hygiene)
II your knife and fork, spoon,
plate, cup and saucer were left from
one meal to another without thor
ough washing, you would change
your clearinghouse.
But why be so particular about
outside matters unless you thor
oughly cleanse your own mouth af-
ter each meal?
When food is allowed to pack be-
tween and around the teeth carries,
or decay as it is commonly called,
gets a good start. The packed food
decomposes and ferments. 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 coat
ing called a gelatinous plaque. Un-
der this protective covering the bac-
terra grow unless they are removed
by thorough cleansing.
Decay OF the teeth, carries. is a
disease Just the same as tuberculosis
or measles is disease. In this
disease the hardest tissue in the
body Is attacked.
The bacteria of decay are really
tiny plants. They live and die as
other plants do and when they dle'
they decompose and ferment, form
ing an acid. This acid, in Its fresh
state, will dissolve the enamel of
the tooth a very little at a time at
FIRST. but the further in the bacteria
they get. the more rapidly they
work.
The enamel of the teeth is not
sensitive. 1t is composed entirely
of the salts of lime. shaped into
microscopic rods that are bound to-
gether by a natural dement,. 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 armor it
reaches the ends of the tiny fibres
from the nerve that radiate through
the body of thet Doth.
1t is 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.
