Educ m 3'.-V1-.: IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT CARE OF TEETH Some years ago a book was pub- lished showing how to make up various preparations for care of the body and the promotion of health. Among the preparations was one for cleaning the teeth in which enough tooth powder could be made up for a few cents to last the individual six months. What some of us forget is that tooth powder or other preparations put up by our large drug manu- facturers appeal to the eye, to the sense of smell. to the taste, and so invite use whereas others. while just as effective in doing their their work, do not invite use and so are not used regularly. It is regularity in brushing the teetm that is most important. In a news release from the American Dental Association, Dr. Maynard K. Hlne. Indianapolis. Dean of the Indiana University School of Dentistry. states that healthy gums (which prevent pyorrheal can best be maintained by regular, thorough and careful brushing of teeth. In advocating three to five minutes of brushing at a. time. Dr. Hlne described the firm. healthy gum as a pale coral pink with an orange peel surface. Further, effective dental treatment for gum disorders can only be short-lived unless the patient car- ries out good tooth brushing pro- cedures at home carefully and per- sistently. Dr. Hlne recommends a toothbrush with an inch-long head. containing medium one-half inch bristles that are bound in tufts about one-eighth of an inch apart and mounted in two rows of six tufts each. In brushing the teeth, the ends of the bristles should not be allow- ed to irritate the gums: the sides of the bristles should be pressed against the gums with as much pressure as the individual can withstand. Brushing should be done in circles as wide as possible. As to denttfrloes. Dr. Hlne quot- ed a formula. "Equal part; of water and elbow grease." Stains. Breen or brown. are thought by some to show that the teeth are sound. and by others that they are unsound. Dr. 3. Wah Lcung of Rochester. N. Y.. in an- other article, states that Is East- man fellow in dentistry at the University of Rochester school of Medicine and Dentistry. he found that there is no difference in the amount. of decay in persons who have hi-own stains and those with- out thcrn. similarly with green stains. are VNA Mkx Morning Smile .

He came to have "a bit IV a trim put in my hat: for sun- day" and to talk of the farming with James - "How are you do- lng at the potato grading, Pat?" and "Have you been doing any- thing of late to new-land?" The latter continues to be an interest of our farmers such times as they have their chorlng in order. In recent days they have been gath- ering the stones turned up in the plowing. removing them by means of the team in the farm-sleigh to a heap in the field close by. Twi- light deep and still brought. them to the buildings this evening, their return in the dimness marked by the sound of voices in the yard. A small maid was with them, one who had been uninterested helper during the sunny afternoon hours. . . . "Hungry?" she repeated our query. eyes bright, cheeks rosy and altogether radiating the clean glow of the out of door exercise. ”No .. we had apples and cookies and Daddy fund some candy. But we couldn't stop too long. be- cause you see. we wanted to get it finished. And it. ls" she nodded. "all done now!" Granddaughter much enjoys these lunches in the open. so good when sauced by a healthy appetite and spiced by the scent of woodsy places. From a. verandah we could watch the heap of stones grow, an endeavour most satisfying, because as James pointed out it served to "kill two birds with one stone." It prepared the area for further cultivation and at the same time assembled fine material to be used. if fortune smiles favorably on the efforts and hopes of the farmers, in mak- ing a. foundation for a barn-ex- tension, planned to be built when a.
