The first of hundreds of mobile

A mobile laundry unit beside the

Confoins No Abrosiyes

Today millions of people are unknow-
ingly causing serious damage to their
teeth-by regular brushing with the
harmful abrasives or securing materi-
ais contained in the most widely-sold
dentifrices.
Gradually, as months 60 by, these
abrasives cut cavities into the soft part
of teeth along the gum line exposed by
shrinking gums, where there is no hard
enamel to protect them.
Intact, among people who brush their
teeth regularly. very large percentage
of all cavities along the gum line that
require filling are probably the result of
this injury. This was shown by clin-
ical study published in leading dental

Use Knife to
Push Food
On Fork
When No Bread or
Crackers Are Left,
This Is Correct
By EMILY POST.

Some weeks ago 1 wrote in this
column that when a child was learn
ing to handle his table implements
he might be given helping imple-
ment called pusher and that after
he outgrew his baby implements he
used the adult small piece of crust
or piece of cracker. I repeat this
now because today reader refers
to that column and brings up the
possibilities of still another type of
pusher by asking, What about the
propriety of using knife for this
same purpose? Will you write about
that some day? There are more
times than not when one does not
order crackers or bread
This is going to be one of those
red signal answers-very dangerous
advice in spite of the fact that it is
what many well-bred and perfectly
behaved people do. But the point
to make is that they do it very
xterously-holding the handle of
the knife well in toward the center
of the plate.
The knife, taken up in the left
hand, is held sharp edge down and
then the chivying items are gath
cred up against it onto the fork.
1 might add that it is an operation
that should not last long. That is,
you don't sit through whole course
doing this, but only when you find
yourself with an almost empty plate
and no piece of bread that has any
backbone" in it to hold the last
scattered scraps.

fashion writer's call a smart ap-

First of all, be sure that your
brows are neatly trimmed in a
smooth, natural line. Straggly eye
brows just seem to leap out at the
onlooker, and though you may
think you can get by without elimi-
mating those superf1uous hairs, you
really can't. Remember that just
as shaggy "beetlebrowS" are out, so
are thin, penciled brows plucked to
non-existence. Keep the natural
line which will, no doubt, be the
most satisfactory one according to
the shape of your face.
Before using tweezers, apply a
cloth dipped in hot water to your
brows. This opens the pores and
helps the hairs to come out more
easily. Cream rubbed in around
the roots will also ease the process,
but be- sure you remove it with a
bit of cotton dipped in alcohol be-
fore you start the "tWeezing." Re-
member that it's good idea to

which makes for easy manipulation
and which enables you to lift out
the hairs instead of swapping them
off. There are fiat ends instead
of points, so that you need not
dread the idea of taking off a bit
of skin with that elusive eyebrow.
All in all, it's clever idea and
most helpful version of the tweezer.
After the plucking process is COM
pleted, rinse your brows with a
little alcohol to guard against any
infection, and, finally, brush a little
eyelash cream along the brows.
