Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Good and Poor Teeth.

The baby's first teeth are watched
with pride and curiosity and cared for
in proportion to their preciousness.
The later teeth get no such attention,
teething then having become more
or less commonplace event. In fact
some mothers are actually guilty of
giving the teeth no care at all on the
ground that a baby's teeth don't need
to be washed. Just why she should
but the question is asked daily,
when is it necessary to wash a
chlld's teeth?" Obviously--as soon as
he has any to wash.
The cause for good or poor teeth
Is too often attributed to inheritance
While inheritance does affect the
shape. size and general color of the
teeth, just as 1t also affects the length
or shortness Of the nose or the
stature Of the person, the kind of
teeth one possesses depends entirely
on the diet Of the mother before the
child is born and during lactation, and
the child's diet the first year.
One can trace the effects Of en-.
vironment to the following extent,
and make 1t seem inheritance. The
kind of food the mother is used to
feeding her family in many cases is
exactly the same kind of food the
mother has been used to getting in
her own home. If such food has
been inadequate to build good, strong.
white teeth. the mother will have
poor teeth and so will her baby, be.
cause she will continue to eat poor
food herself, and she will feed it to
her children. Naturally such a
family will continue to be cursed with
crumbly. easily decaying teeth until
one of the offspring discovers the
sublime relation between food and
teeth and changes her method of liv-
ing and feeding her family.
In order to provide the materials
for strong teeth the mother must eat
foods containing lime and phosphorus,
and such foods are milk, green vege-
tables, unhulled or whole grain
cereals and fruits.

and abnormal symptoms of teething in

Goose for the Christmas Dinner
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

Goose is the especial meat for
Christmas. Just as turkey Is for
Thanksgiving. Since these two great

cious. large birds. one for each day.

earned. The correct dressings for the
two birds differ also as we'll as the
sauce. A goose is stuffed with mashed
potato highly seasoned with onion
and thyme, pepper and salt. With 1t
is served apple sauce. Turkey has a
dressing of bread crumbs with poui-
try seasoning and is accompanied with
cranberry sauce. Turkey is eSuch Il
favorite with New Englanders that it
is frequently served i'm place of goose
In that section of the country. 1t

Army Crosses Delaware.

NEWTOWN, Pa, December 25,
f7T6.-washington's Army is tonight
crossing the Delaware River about
nine miles above Trenton. Col
Glover's fishermen from Massachu
sets are managing the boats and
struggling against terrific odds
through the masses of ice which are
coming down the stream in increas-
ing volume. The regiments had their
evening parade before 6 o'clock, but
instead of returning to quarters were
marched toward McKonkeys Ferry.
1t is fearfully cold and raw and a
snowstorm setting in. The wind is
northeast and beats in the faces of
the men. 1t will be a terrible night
for the soldiers who have no shoes.
Some have tied old rags around their
feet; others are barefoot. One of the
officers says he has heard none of
them complain. They are ready to
suffer any hardship and die rather
than give up their liberty. Their
countersign, Victory or Death" tells
of the stern determination in every
mans heart.
They are on their way to Trenton,
and they know full we'll that they
must win a decisive victory or the
Hessians in Trenton and the enemy
troops in Princeton and other nearby
camps will be able to drive them back

HOW 1T STARTED
Calling Him Santa Claus.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

One Of the queries we receive at this
holiday season is How did Santa
Claus get his name?'
Santa Klaus" as it originally was
spelled, is really a Dutch corruption
of the name est. Nicholas" And st.
Nicholas was a very popular patron
saint of the church. In ancient times
in England the feast" of this saint.
as the anniversaries were called, was
deliberately celebrated on December 6,
the supposed day of his death.
1t Is the nearness of this date to
Christmas day that originally led to
the connection of the two and the
fable that Santa Klaus" brings the
presents on Christmas!
Every country tells its children its
own version of Santa Claus. but the
most popular and the most widely
adopted one we have from an old Gus.
tom of the people of Friesland. who
years ago used to send around to the
houses on St. Nicholas eve a man
dressed in imitation Episcopal robes
and inter to impersonate the saint. in
Quiring whether the children had been
good or bad, and leaving toys where q

When making raisin pie simmer the
raisins for three hours over a very
low fire, then add thickening, a pinch
of salt and one-half a teaspoonful of
vanilla, together with one-half cup
full of sugar if a very sweet pie is de-
sired. The long. slow cooking brings
Io4t delicious flavor to the raisins.
