Science has a way Of knock
ing many Of our pet popular be-
liefs into a cooked hat. Like
wise it often brings to light
startling facts. Both these
truths are strikingly illustrated
by the findings derived from re-
cent researches on the care Of
the teeth.
We have all been brought up
on the notion that candy, or
too much sweets Of any kind, is
bad for the teeth. The implica-
ton is that the sugar in all
sweet substances has a direct
and delecterious effect upon
tooth enamel, gradually break
ing it down and thus allowing
germs to enter into the tooth
substance proper, and that de-
cay Of the tooth naturally fol-
lows. We have also held that
unclean teeth-tnat is, those
covered with tartar and with
food particles between them

tooth diSintegration.

With Kim and hurried in to put

before DR.. Thatcher arrived.
It was 10 o'clock and the house

Advice to the
LoveIorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

=
Loss Of Job Meant Loss of Love.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Two and a half years ago a
girl and I met, quarrelled, and
broke off. In the meantime, I
prospered. Then we met again.
It was a Paradise. We loved
each other devotedly. I had a
car. We made plans together,
and I made promises. Grad
ually, I started to lose every
thing. With this she lost in
terest in me and grew cold.
Our love has turned out to be
just friendship. I worry over
this. At times we despise each
other. I can read her mind in
this.
The promises I made can't
fulfill now, although I made
them sincerely. This I am
afraid to tell her, because I
fear losing her altogether.
TROUBLED.
This letter is typical of so
many that come these days.
In good faith a man makes
promises which hard times pre-
vent him from keeping. The
woman becomes indifferent as
these favorable prospects fade,
and the man hangs on, fear
ing to lose even the fragment
of cordiality that survives.
Wouldn't it be better II
they'd face the truth? These
fair-weather friends are look
ing for what the man can
give; they're not interested in
the man. Cut them out! Look
for a girl worthwhile. The world
is full Of them.

What Should Have Happened

The two questions are whether
z could have defeated the hand

have made things easier for

When dummy led the good

the K. Of hearts, at the fifth

to discard a losing club. The

most remarkable things is their
radio work-the sole communica-

! Friday night they had it in what
was merely a crumbling shell, which
recalls another curious thing. We
were tuned in on them, and would
hear the shocks there-the gritting,
grinding noises, and the announcer
saying (and laughing) there is an
other temblor and we are still O.

the office yesterday, but if I hadn't
We have unlimited credit at the
neighborhood grocery. But even my
sadly depleted checks at the office
have been no good for two weeks.
But why worry? We are getting by,
and that is the big thing. And
what an experience-since my little
family unit is safe. The boys are
one glorious thrill over it.

we never knew abut But he is

really come together, and they had |
no special damage. One of my as
sistants lives there, and she got over
to Santa Ana that night as soon as
she could get here, to see if I was
all right, and staid here couple of

she had known, yet it was long af-

And here am again back on that :

You are not to worry. The worst
