SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

VoU. like all really cleanly and
4 decent people, clean your
teeth frequently. 1t may be once
a day; or, still better, on arising.
then after each meal, and, finally,
before retiring. On each such
occasion you doubtless use either
a tooth brush or a tooth paste.
In fact, the use of some such
deutrifice has become almost uni
versal, and in large measure ex-
plains the greatly improved n.y.

that you ought to know some
things about the principles under.

thus made part of your daily

The day Of the prescription
dentrifice is almost past, says DIR.
F. n. Doubleday, a distinguished
dental authority. For one person
who asks his dentist what he
shall brush his teeth with,
thousand buy a proprietary pow
der or paste. They do this be-
cause they like it's advertisements
and it's taste. They do not in
quire what it Is made of. and the
information would convey nothing
to them if they had it. The fact
remains that dentrifice manufac.
turers and not dentists are the
people who decide the contents of
the preparation. That proprie-
tary powders and pastes are not
on the whole very harmful is
matter of luck rather than of
knowledge.
Pastes are now far more popu.
lar than powders, and DR.. Double.
day considers that the public de.
mand for a smooth preparation Is
being rather Overdone. Smooth.
ness may be gained at the price
OF cleansing power. The prejudice
against powder may date from the
experiments of w. D Miller. who
showed that an abrasive powder
was often very harmful to the
teeth, but the modern tooth paste.

which could be harmful is 80

the purpose for which it is meant.
The tubes are clearly and con-
Venient, but the most assiduous
use of some pastes fails to whiten
irregularly-placed teeth, or the
teeth of heavy smokers. There is
little doubt that a properly com.
pounded powder is a better tooth
clea nser.
The ideal preparation should
contain cleansing agent such
as precipitated carbonate OF lime,
which also has the property Of
neutraliZinE acids. Another val
liable constituent Is biCarhonate
of soda, for it dissoIves the
mucous which helps to keep food
particles in contact with the
teeth. AS a matter of fact, an
analysis made by the Lancet"
10 years ago showed that most
popular dentifrices actually con.
tained these two substances.
Authorities differ about the
value of soap, which forms a part
OF all tooth pastes. Some saw

would limit it to or 3 per cent.

It Made Her Famous

This lady, recently married,
! Is talked about in England
because she had a new idea,
and new ideas are not very
common.
She, the Hon. Mrs. Beau
-Nesbitt, saw no reason
why men about to marry should
have stag" parties, with no
such provision made for women
about to be married.
So just before her wedding
this lady gave a nag" party,
inviting all her female friends,
playfully described as "liags "
The party was a great sue
cess. Women in our day enjoy
things that formerly were
strange to them cocktails be-
fore the dinner, cigarettes at
dinner and afterward.
If you want to be an aristo-
crat, give a nag" party.

has no real determination to
mend her ways. But like all hui
man beings she has a desire for
actiOn-she wants to do something.
She's too lazy and self-indul-
gent to actually discipline her
self. But she can bluff herself
into thinking that she is, by
staging a confession and calling
herself names. So every so often
she puts on her little show. And
afterwards she goes away warmed

for a brand new AUDIENCE! He
is bored. not with his wife, but
with the old routine. He is tired,

He is longing for somebody
who will admire him, flatter him

GREATER DEMAND FOR WHEAT
OFFSETS INCREASE IN SUPPLY


He.ena The world wheat supply

four percent larger than that Of last
season, with this increase promising
tc be largely offset by an increase in
demand according to information re-
ceived BY the state-federal crop re-
porting service from the foreign ser
lice Of the bureau Of Agricultural
economics.
Increased production OF wheat in
North America and Europe outside
II Russia is offset to some extent by
smaller production in Russia and In
dia, both Of which probably will need
to import wheat before the end Of
the season, according to reports up
to the middle of September. The in.

porting countries at the beginning Of
the season has practically disappear

August as indicated by the larger
shipments to Europe during these
months. Russia. while now eqraI to

to result in increased consumption Of
wheat in Italy and the Balkan cosnl-
tres Europe as whole may import
as much wheat this season as last.

low prices Of wheat are believed to
have stimulated consumption and

grade wheat to livestock and in some
countries to discourage seeding for
next year.
Relative to the large Canadian crop
W1lcn. on the Hrst OIIlclal estimate
ct the Canadian government was
placed at $50 million bushels, the ac-
tual increase may NOT. be as large as
indicated by comparison of this fig
ure with 44O million bushels official
" estimated last year, since receipts
from last years crop indicate that it
was underestimate and that it was
pi obably nearer to 485 million bu-
shells than 440 million. The Cana
dan bureau Of statistics has intimat-
ed that this was the case, but does
not usually revise the January esti-
mate until year later

still to be determined. although de-
velopments to date have favored the
probability Of crop somewhat larg-
