ding dowry. Many of the school
books are illustrated with drawings
showing Hull actually presenting the
dowry to his daughter.
Also of historical interest is the
fact that the coin was considered the
first act of aggression by the colo
nists against the mother country.
This was considered an unfriendly
act by England because the colonies
were expressly forbidden from coin
ing money, according to provisions
in the royal charter.
COLONIES UNITE
In 1912 the Pilgrim colony of Ply
mouth and the Puritan colonies of
New Haven, Connecticut and Massa-
chusetts united as a protective meas
ure against the Pequot Indians and
to further the rapidly expanding re-
lations of the colonies. The new
| unit was called the United Colonies
of New England.
In 1867 the ruling body of Massa-
chusetts appointed John Hull as mint
| master to make silver coinage for
the colonies. The coins were called
the Pine Tree shillings and imme-
diately invoked the displeasure of
Charles ii, the ruling sovereign of
England.
ACT OF REVOLT
This was probably the first act of
revolt by the colonies against Eng
land and in 1856 the Massachusetts
charter was annulled by Charles due
to what he termed the "illegal coin
age" of the colony. This was but
one of series of events which lee
to dissolution of the ties between
the colonies and the mother country

Glorityimg Yourself
By ALICIA HART

It's really a great colnfort, then, to realize that woman'S greatest aids to good looks-soap and wa. ter-are available at rock bottom prices. The woman on the lowest be clean. She may not have a dc .,-.41 ~-.eni oo4... s---I -----1 .-oG na,e{ any bathroom in her house at all {,
 But so long as soap and water remain at their present prices, there's nothing in the world to stop her from being as clean and neat from head to foot as very rich woman with half dozen bathrooms and a maid to pour the bath salts into the tub.
 Hair ought to be washed at least once a week, especially if you live in town where the air is filled with dust and smoke. Very oily hair ought to be freshened up between shampoos the scalp cleansed wish tonic and the hair brushed and brushed and brush ed until it is free from dust and the film of oil.
 CREAM BY DAY,
 BUT SOAP AT NIGHT 9
 The average skin requires a soap and water scrubbirg at least once a day, preferably at night. Cleansing cream may be used during the day. The women whose skins always seem dewy and fresh carry special cleansing pads or a tiny tube of cleansing cream and few extra tissues in their handbags. They remove dust and dirt and stale makeup and apply fresh cosmetics frequently
 The nightly soaping should not be hurried, slap-dash business. Use rough washcloth or a con- plexion brush and scrub thor oughly with upward and out ward strokes.
 Even though you arc shower addict, take a tub bath at least once a week. A good soaking will loosen the dead and drying cuticle on the surface of the skin, making removal of it with rough bath towel infinitely simpler.
 Keep piece of pumice near the tub. After you have soaked for several minutes, wet the pum- ice and use it to rub away hard callouSes on feet, layers of hard ened cuticle at sides of the nails, scaly skin on the elbows. Don't try to remove a large callous on the foot during one punice stone treatment. Pumice away a little this week, a little more next week, and so on until the callous no longer exists.

CONSERVATION OF THE TEETH
 AND GUMS

Lists of foods rich in calcium or phosphorus may be of some use in planning diet to provide adequate daily intake of these clements for the building and maintenance of healthy teeth and gums, but such diet at best can hardly bring about cure or arrest of chronic gin- givitis, pyorrl1ea or degeneration of teeth and gums when these mani festations of atrophy from long malnutrition have become evident.
 Natural food sources of x vitamin D are the cream or fat of milk or butter, yolk of egg, canned sardines, canned salmon, oysters and virtually no other natural food in significant amount. Fish liver oil is rich in vitamin R-a teaspoorfu of cod liver oil, for instance, contains as much vitamin D as the yolks of five eggs; on the other hand two drops of solution of irradiated ergosterol in neutral oil contain more vitamin D than 8 whole teaspoonful of fish liver oil, and this is tasteless. IT, radia ting ergosterol Ga fat-like sub stance occurring in various foods and in the human skin) with ultraviolet light of certain wave lengths con- verts the ergosterol in viosterol which is vitamin D. Most physicians ad- vice feeding every infant 8 few drops of such solution or even 8 spoonful of fish liver oil, daily, to insure enough vitamin D for the growing infants requirements. Dem tists should advise parents to give young children some such daily ration of vitamin D to promote de- yelopment of sound teeth.
 To the best of my knowledge one synthetic vitamin D or solution of vioterol in oil is as satisfactory for medicinal use as another, although it behooves every dentist and every physician who has occasion to ad- wise patients to use vitamin D to know which preparation is econom- ical, for there is a wide difference in the cost of the numerous vita min D preparations available. Urlt for unit they're all the same, but penny for penny they vary extra ordinarily.
 Many physicians and dentists have been confused or misinformed con- corning the comparative value of natural vitamin D, as it occurs III fish liver oil end in a few foods (oysters, sardires, fresh CT canned salmon, cream, butter, egg yolk) and synthetic vitamin D, as 1t IS produced by irradiation of ergosteroi Ca fat-like substance present m various foods and in the skin) with ultraviolet light So far as l can learn there is no evidence that synthetic vitamin D is in any way superior or inferior to natural vita min D. unit for unit, except that synthetic vitamin D is virtually tasteless and hence less repugnant to child or adult than natural vita min D-a consideration which may be important when it is necessary that the patient take vitamin U regularly over period of months or years-as it is for most children before and during their teens.
