How to Clean
The Teeth

In the care and treatment Of

chemical mixtures that may be in.

The average tooth pastes, pow.
ders and mouth washes are sup.
posed to be safe, but there are a
few who like to experiment with
other substances that may be in.
furious.
We have heard of alum being
used for all kinds of canker sores
and disorders of the mouth, and
while it may relieve these disor.
ders, you must know it is very de.
structive to the enamel. So, if it
is used, try to keep it away from
the teeth.
Alcohol has no action on the en-
amel. Peppermint will stain the
roots of the teeth brown, but has
no effect on the hard structure.
Tobacco may stain the teeth, but
is not injurious to the structure.
There are a number of simple
formulas for tooth powders, tooth
pastes and washes, but it is not
practical and no real economy to
make these things at home.
There is nothing that can be
made up at home that will be any
better than the plain salt-just
the ordinary table salt. The salt
is a perfect dentifrice because Of
its germicidal properties and the
cleansing and firming effect it mas
on the tissues Of the mouth and
throat.
Besides using the regular tooth
powders and pastes, be sure to
have thorough salt cleansing
frequently and use it as a gargle,
too. A Tablespoonful Of salt in
a glass of water will be effective.

much easier. Best of them, it
seems to me, is a dressing table
that works by means of a foot
lever, so that you can hold the
baby in both arms, while you
merely press a rod, and the
table swings into place. 1t has

many pockets for your little
