Fruit Juices
Excellent
Low Calorie Diet
Is Best During
Hot Weather.
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

MANY savage tribes have wonder
full teeth in spite of the fact
they never clean them and do not
know what toothbrush is. 1t is
largely due to the plentiful use of
fruits, the juices of which have a
valuable cleansing effect.
I'm recent years." a medical book
goes on to state, some dental authori-
ties have advocated cleaning the teeth
with fruit juices or food acids, such
a diluted cider vinegar, instead of the
usual alkaline tooth powders. It is
claimed that fruit acids promote the
increased flow Of saliva and in this
way bring about a greater alkaline
condition of the mouth within a few
minutes. Saliva, as you know. is
naturally alkaline. Furthermore, fruit
is somewhat antiseptic and is always
healthful."
When fruit Is reasonable in price
and plentiful you should eat much
OF it. Especially fruits with juices.
And you should drink fruit juices
without sugar to reap the greatest
benefit and nourishment.
During the hottest of days one can
easily dispense with heavy menus if
green vegetable salads with French
dressing are eaten and quantities of
fruit juices drunk Such menus help
greatly to alkalize the body and keep
it cooler. BY cutting down on cal
cries you cool your blood, for calories
are definitely heat units.
There is one factor in maintaining
sound and healthy teeth which is
commonly overlooked, especially while
child is growing. That Is which
foods tend to strengthen and prolong
the life of teeth. If the diet is lack
ing in the elements for building teeth
and bones. then decay and loss of teeth
is almost inevitable.
Medical authorities commonly agree
on certain foods rich in lime and
organic mineral salts, such as whole
wheat bread in preference to white
bread; shredded wheat and whole
grain products such as oatmeal will
help to build strong, healthy teeth.
Milk and eggs are both rich in lime
And vegetables eaten with the water
in which they are cooked are strongly
recommended.
Children and adults alike should eat
natural foods, calling for exercise of
the teeth and supplying all the ele-
ments provided by nature.
And every child should be trained
early in life in the care of the teeth
and in mouth hygiene.

Of your social graces as any of the

they purchased an article as you are

She doesn't tell him that hs must

that he hasn't any right to marry a
girl and dump her down in q house
to spend her evenings alone. She
doesn't tell him that a man Is a con-
temptible chiseler who doesn't give
his wife an allowance and who holds
out on her the money she earns a

happy home as it is the wife's; that
he must not dump all Of his erouchi-
ness on the. family hearthstone and
say things to his wife that he wouldn't
dare say to the stenographer or the
cook.
No, mother does all she can to unfit
her son for being good husband by
spolllEg him to death, waiting on him
nano and foot and catering to all of
his lletas Whims. Then she hands him
over TO some poor unfortunate girl
who has to spend the remainder of
her life putting up with his faults.
X X X
NOR does mother take any more
trouble to provide the neighbor's
son with good wife than her neighbor
did to rear good husband for her
daughter. She knows to the last hair
on her head the kind of girl she
wants John to marry-a sweet, un-
selilsh young woman who is thrifty,
good manager and who will know
how to make her husband comfortable
and take care Of his health and be
real helpmeet to him.
But does she try to fit Mary to be
that sort of wife? No indeed. Why.
she doesn't even teach Mary how to
cook, nor how to sew, nor how to
market, and the first thing Mary does
Is to ruin her husbands stomach by
setting him down to meals that would
kill an ostrich and to throw half of
his salary into the garbage can because
she does not know how to buy food.
Ever since Mary was born mother
has spoiled her, sacrificed for her and
made her feel that no one else had
any right where she was concerned.
Then she wraps this little bundle of
egotism and self-centeredness and
ignorance of everything practical up
In white satin and dumps it on to
some unfortunate man for a wife.
That is why there Is much marital
unhappiness and so many divorces.
Mothers don't fit their children for
marriage. They don't try to make
them the kind of husbands and wives
they want their own daughters and
sons to marry. DOROTHY DIX.

don't burden us with long, drawn
out tales about what swank shop
featured it, how it's an original crea-
ton designed for you alone, and what
an extravagant girl you were to buy
1t. If you look well, that is all that
matters-and don't feel bad il some
one squelches you with, II saw al
most the same thing for $3.50
you'll deserve it,
Chief among fashion boners is this
habit of Strewing your accessories
about like mad How often have
you prepared to sit down in a theater
only to be delayed by some young
lady who had to collect hat, gloves,
purse and Al different packages from
that particular seat? Don't 60 to
the movies laden with miscellaneous
articles-remember you only paid for
one seat Remove your hat, by all
means. but hold it, along with bag
and gloves, in your lap. If you must
drag parcels. check them outside.
In the evening. take particular
pains with your fashion conduct. You
paid hard-earned money for that
evening gown-for goodness sake,
show it off! Don't sprawl in an easy
chair; sit up straight. You will look
100 per cent prettier, and find that
your gown will be displayed to much
better advantage. When you leave
your wrap in the guest room, use
a little common sense and courtesy,
and refuse to pile it on top of some
one else's. There's usually plenty
OF room to place coats and capes
separately, in case your hostess
doesn't provide hangers-the thought
less thing-and at the end of the
evening you won't need a road map
to find your wrap. Nothing worse,
either, than having four or five heavy
coats flung over your pet jacket. So
think of the other gals as we'll as
yourself-and try to set a good ex-
ample.
ONE of the most important rules
Of correct fashion behavior is
this business of self-assurance. You
might look like a wreck when you get
ready to go out. but you did the best
you could. didn't you? Well, then.
when your devoted escort tells you
how lovely you are don't launch into
a torrent of explanations about how
awful your face is. how you couldn't
do thing with your hair. this hat
is horror, you're tired, etc, etc, etc
And particularly, don't keep referring
all evening long to how badly you're
looking :. You'll begin to convince
yourself and everybody around you.
If you are complimented on your ap-
pearance. take it for what it is worth.
and let it 60 at that After all,
you'll feel lot happier about the
whole thing If you maintain an air
of confidence-but never vanity.
And a final, but terrifically impor-
tant, word to our male readers (both
of them)-please, we implore you,
check any disparaging remarks you
might consider regarding our cos
tune On our word of honor we can
assure you that nothing is more de-
vastating to our ego than fiendish
laugh and ot-so-funny-to-us wise
crack about an item of attire. We
probably spent days searching for it,
preceded by days of dieting to raise
the price of it, so If you can't say
something complimentary, don't say
anything Well know whether you
like it or not. and we'll respect your
fashion manners great deal more If
you use little discretion.

ANS lnhumanlty 10 man, and
M especially woman's inhu-
W. manity to woman. that
4 4 makes countless thousands
mourn, as the poet says, is never so
vividly illustrated as it is in the fact
that mothers make no specific effort
to teach their children how to be good
husbands and wives.
The happiness Of the world Is vir-
tualy in the hands Of mothers, since
the misery occasioned by discordant
marriages far outweighs all other hu-
man griefs, and it would be easy for
women to dam this source Of sorrow
at its foundation were they so minded.
Mothers could abolish unhappy mar
riages, stop divorce and assure every
boy that he would get good wife and
every girl that she would secure the
husband Of her dreams.
And, considering that every mother
desires above everything else the well
fare OF her children, it is strange that
there Is not some sort Of concerted
effort among them to improve the
quality Of husbands and wives 50 that
when their own boys and girls choose
their mates they will not be iisRly to
get curses instead of blessings. Ap-
parently, however, there is no reci-
procity among mothers so far as their
children 60, and so we have the spec
tacle Of women rearing the kind of
husbands and wives for some other
woman's children that they pray God
on their knees that their own chill
dren will escape.
This attitude of mothers Is more
inexplicable because they all expect
and desire their children to marry.
They want these marriages to turn
out successfully. No mother wants
to see her children go through the
agony and bitterness and scandal of
divorce. yet in their whole teachings
OF their children they ignore the sub
ject OF marriage as completely as II
they were no more likely to 70 to the
altar than they were to 60 to the
North Pole.
EVERY married woman knows the
secret OF what makes a happv
marriage, and she knows that it is
just as much a matter of manners
as OF morals; that it is the little
thlngs-the little politenesses the little
courtesies. the little justices, the little
liberalities, the words OF thanks and
apprecation-that keep a marriage
a going concern that pays dividends
on all 1t costs. She also knows that
the little amenities Of matrimony do
not come by nature, as Dogberry
thought a knowledge of how to read
and write did. They have to be
taught or else learned in the hard
school OF experience.
Now. every woman knows exactly
the kind Of husband she hopes her
daughter will be lucky enough to get.
She wants him to be kind, tender
af1ectionate, generous and domestic.
But does she impress it upon her own

Ny Neiqhbor Soys:

If you want to make sure Of
good peonies next year, don't
overlook the necessity of apply
ing water generously to the plants
now. Many people seem to think
that because the blooming season
is over it is not necessary to
give any water until next spring.
This is altogether a mistake, be-
cause it is right now that the
plants are forming their next
years shoots, as could be learned
by examining the roots. These
shoots contain flower buds which
will develop next season, and the
stronger the growth now the bet
ter will be the bloom. It also
pays to fertilize the peony plants
at this season. using bone meal
or manure water. The novice is
often surprised to see the i'm
provement in his flowers which
follows a little extra attention Of
this kind.
When making garments for
small children, see that plackets
or openings are long enough, 40
they may get in and out Of gar
ments easily.
