Truths About Toothbrushes.

They tell us now that each Of US
should purchase at least Il tooth
brushes a year-one for each month
Twice or three times a day, for 80
days, is supposed to be enough serv-
ice to dema nd of any good brush, and
after that IL is entitled to honorable
retirement.
Certainly, it is poor economy ever to
completely wear OUT a toothbrush.
Most dentists insist that a person
should have in use steadily at least
two toothbrushes, one for morning
and one for night. and that II the
same brush is used only once a, day
and then dipped into some good anti
septic and allowed to dry thoroughly
it will materially lengthen It's life. AS
to how long to use a toothbrush, 1t
depends almost wholly upon how reg
ularly and effectively you use it. If
we do not require one every month.
as has been suggested, certainly one
ought not TO be kept more than three
months, as is often found to be the
case. Probably the ma ajority of people
who take regular and systematic care
of their teeth use about six a year.
The reason for all this is not to
boost the toothbrush trade, as one
might at first surmise, but because
after that length of time the bristles
OF your DruSh nave become worn ana
have lost their spring and resiliency.
By continuing to use a brush that is

vestment. When using an old tooth
brush that ought to be thrown away
you will notice, too. that tiny little
sHvers keep coming off from the worn
out bristles, and these constitute a
real danger by lodging between the
teeth and working under the gums.
There are many types of brushes
on the market. and every shopper
ought to be able to find one to suit
her personal dema nds. Practically all
dentists recommend the serrated brush
today in preference to the oId-fash-
ioned one with the fiat surface, be.
cause the irregular length of bristles
insures more effective penetration.
For the average person the fairly stiff
brush, not too wide, is best; though,
of course, a person with exceptionally
tender gums would require. a soft
brush.
Whatever the type of brush select
ed, there are certain regulations as to

Ny Neighbor Says:

If little butter is rubbed
on the fingers and knife used

Oil or grease spots on marble

Should the crossing happen to
be unprotected and the view on

can't see ahead or to the sides.
Don't take a chance
And if the Waterman doesn't

When travelling At night don't
mistake the red lanterns on low

Don't race a locomotive. Should
the road force you TO pass ahead
of that train you would be out of
luck. Besides the engineer cannot
control his ponderous steed as YOU
can yours with four-wheel brakes
Never start across double tracks
behind the rear car Of train.
Such practice eventually ends in
death by being crashed 10y a
train coming the other way.
When you do cross, don't crawl,
but step on it and prevent stalling
Never change gears on a railroad
track
And above all watch yourself
all the time.
