TEETH NEED
EXERCISE

NlHE teeth like every part OF the
IL body were devised for service
and If we fail to permit them
to function normally we can
expect that the teeth and sur
rounding tissues will not be in
good condition, says the health
full beauty department in q dis
cussion on the development and
care Of the teeth, in Hygeid,
popular health magazine pub
lished by the American Medical
Association.
Coarse food will aid in cleans
ing the teeth and stimulating the
gums. Brushing the teeth is
purely q mechanical means of re-
moving any deposits that may
have adhered to them, but brush
ing is q good habit.
Children should be taught at
an early age to brush the teeth
at least twice every day.
Any means of brushing the
teeth which will accomplish a
thorough cleansing and will not
injure the teeth and gums will
suffice. The outer surfaces of
the teeth and between the teeth
may be secured by a vigorous
rotary motion without lifting the
brush from the teeth. No one
Of the five surfaces OF the teeth
should be sighted.
The gums should be brushed
from a position high up on the
gums onto the teeth, to pre-
vent injury from the bristles of
the brush and to keep from
forcing foreign materials under
the margins. This brushing Of
the gums, acts as a massage and
will aid in keeping them healthy.
After the teeth and gums have
been cleansed, rinse the mouth
thoroughly with plenty of cool
.water, forcing it through the
teeth.

WOn,en ScOrn Idea
That Silken Hose
Make Ankles Thick
English Doctors Theory
Riddled by Fair Sex
as Propaganda.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON. May 23.-English women
apparently are not disposed to accept
without dissent a statement made by
DR.. F. ParkeS Weber in the British
Medical Journal that the present-day
mode of thin silk stockings produces
thick ankles. The newspapers are re.
ceiving a shower of communications,
mostly on dainty note paper, taking
exception to the doctors view.
DR.. Weber, a fellow of the Royal
Society of Medicine. of the Society of
Antiquaries and of the Royal Numis-
matte Society, disguised his attack
upon diaphanous hosiery in technical
medical language, terming thickening
ankles Chronic induratice erythema,'
which he said led to 'difuse thicken-
ing and sclerodermia, like hardening
of the skin"
But he has not thrown his feminine
critics off the track. One of them,
who contrasts the woolen-clad ankles
of European peasants with the silk
covered ones of Piccadilly to the ad-
vantage of the latter, even suggests
that Weber is secretly allied in sup
porting Winston Churchill's budget,
which places heavy duties on all kinds
of silk.
There is some hope for the expo
nents of the newer modes. however,
in DR.. Weber'S statement that the old
disease of CHORDS, which, he says, was
due largely to tight-lacing, has almost
disappeared in these corSetleSS days.

finally mean the establishment of a
great Presbyterian center in Wash

The report on the pension system
was presented by Will H. Hays, mo-
ton picture head, and at the same
time he announced that Andrew w.
Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, had
accepted the treaSureship of the lay
mems committee empowered to obtain
the initial fund. Mr.. Hays was named
chairman of the committee at the Gen
eral Assembly in Grand Rapids last
year.
Plan Is Endorsed.
The Presbytery of Washington is
encouraged 10 go ahead with plans
for the building of a monumental
church there to act as a Presbyterian
center and permanent quarters for the
General Assembly, in the report of
the Presbyterian National Capital
Commission.
In an address that bristled with
indictments Of denominations that
pay low salaries to ministers, Nj.
Hays declared the new pension plan
needs the united support of the
church to bring it to fruition.
Under the new plan, minimum pen
sions will be $500 and maximum
$4,000 1t is to go into effect April
/, 1926
The assembly is rapidly clearing its
decks of routine matters in prepara-
tion for settlement of the issue, which
church leaders agree is the most i'm
portant before it-a stand of whether
the church will demand a literal ac-
ceptance on the confession of faith
from those preaching it's gospel.
Must Handle Complaint.
This will be brought to the fore in
disposition of the complaint of a
group of ministers of the New York
Presbyterg against the presbytery for
licensing young ministers to preach
who do not believe in the virgin birth,
the Hodily resurrection and other
Bih>e miracles.
The complaint now is before the
judicial commission, which will sit as
a secret court of justice on it and
report it's findings to the assembly.
Modernistic-fundam ntalist differ
ences will be aired in local pulpits

COURT REBUKES SONS
HATE FOR DEAD FATHER
Brothers Made Bitter by Parents
Desertion Refuse to Bury
Body in Family Lot.
By the Associated Press.


PHILADELPHIA, May 23.-Henry
L. and Allie L. Gwyn, brothers, were
rebuked in common pleas court here
today for refusing to permit their
fathers body to be inferred in the

the former home of the parent.
They were summoned into court on
Injunction proceedings brought by
their sister, Mrs. Annie G. Boyd,

it was brought out in testimony, was
based on bitterness engendered by
their struggles with life after their
father left them and their mother IT
years ago. The mother, who obtained
a divorce after the desertion, Joined
the daughter in asking that the body
be buried in the family plot.
Judge James G.. Gordon, jr., after
stating that the case was one which
should be settled out of court, deferred
decision until Monday.

In connection with this phase of
the situation, officials called attention
to statements appearing in some Eu
ropean newspapers that the commits
sion itself was doing nothing and that,
therefore, the moves of the admins
tration were to be treated more or
less lightly. The official reply to that
view was that Secretary Mellon, as
chairman, and Secretary Kellogg, as
a member of the commission, were
constantly giving attention to the debt
question and that any moves made
by the commission first would have
careful study in conference between
the two officials
1t appeared to officials here that
delay of perhaps three or four months
must be expected before any steps
will be taken by Belgium looking to
refunding her debt to America. The
defeat of the Van De Nyvere cabinet

no action can be taken until a new
ministry is chosen and time given
for the new government to acquaint
