That dingy film

Ahat dngy f1lm
Most people who brush teeth in
old ways have filrn-coated teeth.
A viscous film clings to the teeth,
enters creviees and stays. That
film becomes discolored, particu-
1arly with men who smoke. Then
it forms dingy coats Tartar is
based on film.
Film also holds food substance
which ferments and forms acid. It
holds the acid in contact with the
teeth to cause decay. Germs breed
by millions in it. They, with tartar,
are the chief cause os6pyorrhea.
No old-type tooth paste can ef-
fectively fight film So all these
troubles were constantly increas-
ing, and beautiful teeth were seen
less often than today.

portation rates have not advanced.
Labor costs for delivering coal have
decreased. But the price to the con-
sumner has increased and is increasing
steadily.
The coal commission is quite aware
of this and has been examining Wash
ington retailers and calling on opera
tors for information as to why it
should be so. One reason. naturally.
is the increased demand resulting 2
from the shortage brought about by
the months of idleness during the
strike.
Another reason, and one that should
be instructive to the general public is
shat large consumers are fully aware
of the possibility OF another strike
next spring, and are accumulating re-
serve supplies of coal. The average
consumer is helpless in the face of
such an emergency.
It is hoped in Washington that the
public will wake up and see to it that
congress or somebody does something
to make another strike impossible.

A Punishment to Fit the Crime-1
The old adage "hell hath no fury
like woman ScOrned" is receiving
new and curious illustrations in these
days of f~minine emancipation.
During the past year more than a
doZen women settled their accounts
with faithIess husbands and lovers by
numbering them, and now comes the
interesting cases of two wives who
have not only divorced their husbands
for statutory offenses, but Mho grimly
declare that they are going to see to it
that the men marry the other
women"
ut would seem from this that the way
of the philanderer will not be the safe
and pleasant one in the future that it
has been in the past, and that hus-
bands ~who elect to daily along the
primrose path, will do so at their peril.
1t was one thing to have to face the
tears and reproaches of a Jealous wife.
1t is quite another thing to face an
automatic in the hands of a woman
whose aim is not obscured by the fact
that-she is green-eyed.
The old recipe for keeping a hus-
band properly domesticated was to
make home pleasant for him. Millions
of wives tried this with but Indifferent
success and SO it will be interesting to
see whether making it dangerous to
leave home works out any better.
Perhaps the wives who use cave
women methods in preventing their
husbands from wandering from their
own firesides are simply reverting to
type, and using the same method that
their prehistoric ancestress did in
keeping their mates from straying off
after younger and simmer females
with less hair and shorter teeth than
they had.
Undoubtedly. a wholesome fear of
consequences does a lot to keep us all
in the straight and narrow path.
Women are, as a sex, more moral and
lead more upright lives than men do.
not because they are intrinsically of
higher and nobler nature, but because
society has made them pay a bigger
price for wrong doing than it makes
men pay.

as there are husbands who get tired
of fat and stupid wives. Just as many
women at middle age would like to
have one more fling, and one more
bite at the angel food of romance, as
there are middle aged men who crave

But when the average woman mar

faithful wife. She STILES her yarns,
and tries to hold the thought that
John is a good provider even if he is

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a girl
sixteen years of age. Will be seven
teen in four months. DO you think
am too young to go riding with boy
eighteen years of age? only go twice
a week and am always in by 10 OF
1890.
The boy L got with is a Christian
and has no bad habits whatever. he
says he loves me and I believe him.
but he thinks I am too young to know
what true love is. DO you think
am?
. Do you think it proper for him TO
put his arm around me?
DADDY'S GIRL.
Yes. you are too young to go riding
with a boy. He puts his arms around
you and talks of love, and altho he
is a gentleman, you can never tel
what circumstances might lead to. Let
him call on you in your home, but do
not go riding.
At the age of sixteen you can
scarcely be sure of your love. II
might last. but love at that age is
usually infatuation which dies later
on.
1t is not proper for the boy TO put
his arms around you.

But there is to me something most
inspiring about the Christmas time of

for hours-thinking thinking of
others.
1 think, too. of those who stand for
hours and hours, serving those who
come to buy.
But each and all with only one
thought in n1ind-to make somebody
else happy with some gift, be it sim

My mind goes back. however to a
crude manger in a strange country. A
baby has been born. And for miles
around. simple folk have come to pay
honor in gifts to this little child. whose
birth had been foretoId by wise
prophets for so long.
And then I think OF this child grown
into manhood-going about making
people happy. I think of the signifi

CHRISTMAS.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

CHRISTMAS.
Was there Iowlier place or birth
Ever known upon the earthE
A bleak and barren stable
And the mothers bed of straw.
And the rich who filled the inn
That would not let Mary in,
The angels who were watching
Thru the darkness, never saw
High the Star of Bethlehem
Shone above, but not for them:
Never once they ceased their laughter,
Never once they quit the room;
OF that number but a few
Ever cared or ever knew
That q woman had been ordered
To the stables murky gloom.
Not until the Wise Men came
Did they learn that baby's name;
Not until the Wise Men offered
Gold and frankincense and myrrh,
Not until the break of dawn
Did they Know a king was born.
And that God had blessed the stable
With the mother lying there.
Now the Star OF Bethlehem
Which God hung above for them
Still leads US to the stable
And the manger where He lay;
And thruout the ages long
Men repeat that angel song
Which rang out above the stable
On that first glad Christmas Day.
