Left.Handed Sleuths
Puzzle Shelby as He
Replaces Old Desks

The left-handed detective has
become a perplexing problem at
police headquarters.
Inspector william 8. Shelby.
chief Of detectives, has decreed
that the score or more Of long
tables, which have been in use for
years in the Detective Bureau
squadroom and used by detec-
tives at roll call for writing tables
must 60. They are to be supplant-
ed by individual chairs with a
right-handed arm rest and equip
ped with deep drawers for papers,
ETC., and each detective will be
assigned a chair.
Fortunately most of the sleuths
are orthodox penmen, but there
are a few who sling ink from the
port side. This fact has caused In
spector Shelby no little concern,
and after wrangling with the
problem for days, his most con-
structive suggestion is that the
detectives who write from the
wrong side either develop ambi-
dextrous tendencies or take notes
on their laps.

Another complains that lack Of

blames his failure upon lack OF

only such power to retard progress
and cause misery as the indi-

There is no condition or ret OF

high heart and serene spirit cans

How to Keep the
Teeth Strong
and White
BY Maria Jeritza

IF all your life you have visited
y dentist every six months to
have your teeth cleaned and at
tended to, the chances are, they
are strong, white and beautiful.
Moreover, you are lovelier OF fig
! ure and complexion than you
could be IL your teeth were de-
fective. For your digestion de-
pends normally on your teeth.
your health on your digestion. and
yoar beauty on your health.
-Four minutes a day in addition
to semi.yearly visit to your
dentist and following his instruc-
fions should keep your teeth at
their loveliest. These four min
lltes might be divided into two
periods on arising, one just
before retiring. On each occasion,
brush your teeth gently but thor
oughly with circular movements
of your toothbrush, going over
their inner as well as outer, sur
faces and edges. Tooth powder
or else tooth paste may be used.
Here is simple but tested
formula for tooth powder.
Precipitated chalk ounces.
Pulverized orris root ounces.
This powder is not sweetened,
is cleansing, and cannot harm the
softest, most sensitive or brittle
teeth.
1t is well, also, to brush the
teeth after each meal. But if
this is not always possible and
you give them an excellent scrub
night and morning. they should
be fairly clean.
Vary the use of the tooth
powder / have just described by
using powdered punice-stone two
mornings each week. The pumice-
stone removes discolorations and
may remove tartar, that unpleas-
ant substance which sometimes
forms at gum margins. and which
IL not promptly removed. may
cause decay. A trip to the
dentists every six months for a
thorough teeth cleaning is the
only way to insure against ac-
cumulation of tartar for neither
brushing nor mouth-washes can
be depended on to remove it.
There are any number of good
Snouth-Washes, tooth powders and
pastes on the market.

however, only in very general In
vitations, such as larger parties.
Go about with other friends-and
see what happens.
You and he saw each other far
too often fer friends not engaged.
Once or twice each week is often

enough. Occasional comradeship is
less likely TO tire.
wish you all success and hope
that your friend viii find by the
test of absence, that he cares for
you and misses your companion
