1t is the ilm-coats that become disc olored
not the teeth. Most teeth are clouded by it,
more or less. Film is the basis Of tartar.
Film holds food substance which ferments
and forms acids. 1t holds the acids in con-
tact with the teeth to cause decay. 1t breeds
millions Of germs. and they, with tartar, are
the chief cause OF pyorrhea.
So the enemies OF teeth and their beauty
are largely developed in film.

Ruffalo siIps Quick Wit.

Col. William f. Cody, while travel
ing in Europe in 1891 with his Wild
West show, was on quite intimate
terms with royalty. On Buffalo Bits
advent into Berlin Emperor William
was entertaining three kings of small
err German powers. One feature Of the
Wild West performance was the ex-
hibitiOn of an antiquated DeadwoOd
coach, containing passengers who were
attacked by Indians and rescued by
cowboys. The kaiser asked that he
and his guests be allowed TO ride in
this vehicle during a performance,
and of course the request was granted.
After the usual attack and rescue the
emperor remarked:
Colonel Cody, I don't suppose this
is the first time that you have held
four kings?"
mo, your majesty" replied the
scout, you are right, but it is the first
occasion that 1 ever held four kings
and the royal joker at the same time"

Chinese Shoes

Making shoes Is the interminabIe
task of Chinese women. from youth
TO old age. Travellers see them busy
in every moment. when necessity does
not require attention TO some other
work, plying the threads back and
forth, in and out, in their endless eff
fort TO keep the men of their house
hold supplied with footwear. Where
there is a surplus, the shoes are sold
to the shops.
Only Goth and paper are used. The
thickness of the soles, of alternating
layers of cloth and paper held to-
gether by paste, often indicate in varia-
tions of from one-half TO two inches,
the wealth of the wearers. The shoes
are noiseless and comfortable, but on
rainy days China stays indoors be-
cause the shoes readily absorb water.
The women make their own tiny
shoes in the seclu@son of their quar-
tiers. even the husband being forbidden
TO watch their manufacture.
