By Dental Advice

By Dental Advice
Every day-au the puoyld o0sr-
dentisfs are urging its adoption,
The worldwide use of Pepsodent has
come about very quickly, largely
through dental advice.
Research proved that old.type tooth
psstes were more than ineffective. II
proved that tooth pastes based on soap
and chalk brought undesired effects. -
Every use depresses Natures tooth-pro-
tecting forces in the mouth.
That's one great reason for this sud-
den change. Pepsodent not only fights
the film-coats. but it omits the soap and
chalk.
Other Desired Effects
Pepsodent brings two other effects
now regarded as essential. kemultiplies
the alkalinity of the saliva. That is
there to neutralize mouth acids, the
cause of tooth decay.
II multiplies the starch digestant in
the saliva. That is there to digest starch
deposits on teeth which may otherwise
ferment and form acids.
Those are Natures great tooth-pro-
tecting forces In the mouth. They should
be ever present, should have frequent
stimulation. Pepsodent gives them man
ifold power with every application. Old
time tooth pastes reduced their power.
That's another reason why this new
method means a new dental era. IL
avoids the wrong effects which, beyond
any doubt, helped to increase tooth
troubles. And it combats tooth troubles
in new and effective ways.

and whose beds are never swept under
Sixthly, note well the spirit with which
she meets the common vicisstudes OF life.
If she is given TO tears, and whining, and
complaining, she will make the sort OF
wife who will sit down and howl over
her misfortune whenever anything goes
wrong, and who will take the last particle
of courage out of her husband. But il
she is brave and cheerful, and laughs at
misedventures, and can always think
of something else TO do when one plan
fails, she will make wife who is a tower
of strength to her husband, and who
will buck him up, and put fresh heart
in him by her optimism.
Finally, and this is the most inn
portant of all, try to find out how much
brains a girl has got. Quit telling her
how much you love her and admire her,
long enough TO talk TO her about the
subjects in which you are really inter
ested, and ascertain if she can keep you
entertained. There is no earthly excuse
for man waiting until after he il
married, to find out that the woman he i
married to is fool II only shows tha
he is bigger fool than she is, becaus,
there is no way possible IN which n sill
ignorant person can conceal their silli
ness, and ignorance.
Oh, there is no trouble in finding ou
whether a woman is intelligent, ant
good natured, and reasonable, ant
thrifty, and has the right sort of ma
terial in her for making good wife. /
can be done before marriage, Just a
easily as after marriage, if a man wi
only take the trouble TO do it.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
"STORK SHOWER"

A reader of this column, Mrs. S., has
sent in the following excellent sugges-
tons for stork shower:
Manage to get the honoree to the
home where the shower is to be held,
without her suspecting about the shower.
There are a number of ways of presenting
the gifts, such ss the following:
/. Give her telegram stating that
her clothes are on the line and that,
as there is a storm coming, she had
better bring them in. Then lead her
into another room where all the pretty
baby garments are hung on clothes
line.
2. Or an empty clothesline may be
hung in the livingroom, where the
guests are assembled, when the honoree
arrives, and washwoman" Zone; oi
the guests dressed up) may come in,
carrying a clothesbaskct containing baby
clothes, and proceed to hang these on
the line. AS she hangs them on, she
chats endlcssly about the weather, the
work she has to do, the pains in hei
back, etcetera-fnally announcing that
the clothes she has just washed are fol
Mrs. ---" (the honoree's name).
3. The gifts may be hidden in large
handmade cotton stork which is giver
to the honoree with the instruction t.
rip the seams.
4. A. fish pond" may be arranged b,
letting all the guests fish over screen
behind which stands one of the party
The hostess tells everybody that the,
may fish a second time if they "get
parcel with number on it," Severa
of the guests fish before the honoree

A man wants to know If there is any
way in which he can tell, on the safc'side
of the altar what sort of wife girl will
make
Certainly, there is. There isn't q girl
in the world who is clever enough to fool
man if he really desires to get her
number 1t is men who pull the wool
over their own eyes, and refuse TO see the
truth about girl. They deceive them
selves.
The average woman makes no effort
TO camoufage her character and dis
position. She isn't shrewd enough TO
do it, and to play a foreign part so
naturally that il would deceive man
who-was trying to find out everything
about her temperament. And, for
another thing, she doesn't feel the
necessity OF assuming a role, bee ause
her vanity makes her think that she Is
Just about right, anyway. There is not
woman that will admit that she is sell
fish, high tempered, shrewish, extrava-
CANT, or bossy.
The most she will concede is that she
is of sensitive, nervous temperament,
with an artistic love of beauty, and that
she cannot help realizing that she has
unusual executive ability. Moreover
she admires these shining qualities, and
never dreams of taking the trouble TO
conceal them from her fellow human
creatures.
Therefore, any man who wants to
know what sort OF wife girl will make
has only TO forget her peaches and
cream complexion, and how the hair
curls on the nape of her neck, and the
slimness of her ankles, and give her the
cold and critical once over to be able 10
make shrewd guess as TO the outcome
of his bargain.
Let him observe:
First, whether girl is frail and deli
. cate, OF strong and husky. Health Is the
. basis of happiness In marriage, just as II
is the basis of every other good thing
and nothing will do more towards making
matrimony grand, sweet song than to
get wife who has got the stamina to
stand the wear and tear of life. Oh
, course, If invSldism does fall upon 0
woman, it is her husbands duty to
, cherish and to care for her with the ut
most tenderness, but he is an IDIOT if he
, wishes the misfortune of a sickly wife
upon himself, and deliberately qualities
/ for a first and to doctors, and tralneC
nurses and hospitals, by picking out &
delicate girl for wife.
Secondly, let him observe if CIR
, is nervous and irritable. Is she vexec
+ at little things? Is she easily peevedi
Is she impatient over every trihei
! These faults are constitutional. She vii
never get over them, and she VIII make
I the kind of n wife who rs about as sOOtl.
. ing TO live with as buzz saw would be
Thirdly, let him take note whether
= she is high tempered or not. If she is {
e girl who flies into RACES over everything
that displeases her, let him beware
S Tempers develop with age and use
E The girl who does not restrain hersel
, before marriage, will practice no sci
control after marriage, and her HUSBAND
: will either be in a perpetual fight witt
her, or else spending his life pussy foot

Efficient Housekeeping
By Laura A. Kirkman

and these guests of course do not get
a numbered package; they merely get
favor wrapped in tissue paper. But
when the honofee fishes she gets a
numbered package, and must then fish
again. Every package she draws is
numbered, SO she fishes again and again,
until all the baby clothes have been
given to her this way.
5. A child's express cart may hold
the gifts, covered with pink or blue
crepe paper. The cart may be drawn
by a child of one of the guests, and
driven" by another small child, by
long crepe paper streamers. A card
board stork, such as are used for adj
vertising, may be borrowed from q mer-
chant to stand in the cart. The two
children draw the cart up TO the honoree
and say: This is for you, Mrs. -"
Some good games to play are the fol-
lowing:
/. Layctte Contest: Give each guest a
pencil and paper with her name on it.
Hang on the wall large piece of card
board bearing these strange words
Serbs (dress), Osehs (shoes capotitet
(petticoat), Soeh (hose,) Pac (cap),
Dabsn (bands), Toac (coat), Separld
(diapers), Nefalnsl (hannelsl, EapC
(cape), Etosebo (bootees). See who
can change each word into tho name Of
baby garment in five minutes.
2. Write the honoree's 5 name on card
board and hang this up. Each guest
must try to write the most girls o.
boys names beginning with one Of tn,
letters of the honoree's name, in five
minutes.
3. See who can write down, in five
minutes the greatest number of adjec
tives to apply to a baby"

TO enjoy myself. l can't understand
why any animal stays awake all winter
just to be uncomfortable.
Il had never thought of it in that
way" answered Mr.. Fox thoughtfully,
but now you mention it, it does seem
that is all there is to the winter-lust
being comfortable"
why don't you try my plan7''
urged Mr.. Bear. Now, have only a
few more things to do before ! close
my house and If you would like 70 try
my way of getting through the cold
winter come over IN a few days and
sleep with me"
Mr.. Fox said he would think il over
and if he decided to sleep through the
winter days he would accept MIR.
Bears kind invitation and be on hand
when he went to bed.
Mr.. Fox went home and the more
he thought of the cold runs over the
snow to the farms and the risks he
| had to run TO get food in the winter
the more he was inclined TO try Mr.
Bears way of doing.
Mr.. Bear was just locking his dool
when Mr.. Fox, with his nightcap anc
niohtgown under his arm, Knocked al
the door.
Mr.. Bear smiled broadly as b,
opened the door Il AIN glad you ar,
going to be sensible and sleep through
the cold winter" he said.
They were soon in bed and Mr.. Fo,
should have been comfortable, for th'
bed was soft, the quilt thick and warm
and the room nice and dark.
But be wasn't, for be could not e
to sleep because when Mr. Bear pu
his head on the pillow he began L
snore, and oh, how he did snore.
Mr.. Fox punched him and tol d hin
to get off his back, but it was no use
Mr.. Bear snored and snored until a
last Mr.. Fox jumped out of bed, picke'
up his clothes, and ran for his owl
home.
Maybe / could have slept througl
the winter" he said, telling Mr.. Bea
about it the next spring, IF / coul'
have gone 10 sleep at all, but yo'
snored so, Mr.. Bear, that no one coul,
sleep with you, ! am sure"
THAT is queer" replied Mr.. Bear
"No one has ever said / snored."
well, you do, you may take m.
word for it," replied Mr.. Fox, "becaus
| stayed awake and listened"
As Mr.. Bear trudged off toward hi
home he said. Il don't believe snor
at all He didn't want TO go to sleel
all winter, that was the trouble, an
/ think Mr.. Fox is very rude TO sa
such thing about mt" !"
