Has Your Child Good. Teeth?
When shall 1 begin cleaning niy
baby's teeth? inquires a youug
' mother. .�
The day after he cuts the first one.
is none too early. For in that way you
establish a habit which is absolutely
essential to his best physical develop-
ment. Without sound teeth no one
can be at his best physically. ter per-
fect health depends upon perfect di-
gestion, and the first step in digestion
is thorough reastication--chewing--of
the food.
'Wonderful advances have been
made in dentistry in the last century,
We are told that the Empress Jose-
phine lost all her teeth, which may
perhaps account for Napoleon's cooling
affection. But with all our advances
in knowledge the examinations of
drafted men showed that many hun-
dreds had overlooked the attention
which good teeth elemand. Not only
that, but a glance at the teeth of a
large percentage of the people we
hhCmeet, .l
adults and children as well,
&•hews that the doctrine of proper nu-
trittoa for the growing children, and
daily use of the tooth brush,' needs
more emphasis.
If the child is to have good strong
teeth to start with, the must be fee
properly. The teeth are composed of
substances similar to bone and need
plenty of bone.making material, For
the infant the lime and phosphorus
necessary for proper bone -malting is
found in the milk he drinks. As he
approaches and enters the second year
this may be supplemented by egg
yolk, which is rich in phosphorus. In
the latter part of the second year
cooked green vegetables, such as
spinach, asparagus tips, young beets
and carrots, thoroughly cooked and
strained, help in the supply of miner-
als. Of course, the two-year-old will
receive well -cooked cereals and fruit
juice daily, As the teeth begin to
come the ebild should be given hard
toast, crackers ar zwelback to chew.
This will help develop strong jaws
and teeth and teach himto masticate
his food well.
Proper food for teeth making should
not stop with the second year, how-
ever. Growing children aro cutting
teeth at pretty much every stage of
their development. At five or six the
baby teeth drop out and the perman-
ent set appears. During all these
months the diet should be carefully
'watched. Milk should still form a
large part of the diet, a quart a day -is,
none too much, and eggs are valuable,'
too. If milk and eggs Ore not playing
a large part in the daily dietary, feed
brown bread instead of white for its
mineral content. If the child is get-
ting plenty of milk and eggs, white
bread will be sufficient.
Cutting teeth does not stop at six or
seven. There is that period from ten
to twelve, and even later, when the
child loses the first "double" teeth
and gets his permanent ones. He
should be fed generously on bone -
making materials, brown bread, beef
or mutton once ,a day, still plenty of
milk and eggs, potatoes, fruits, includ-
ing oranges and prunes which are rich
in bone-inaking properties, oatmeal,
beans, dried peas, turnips, parsnips,
carrots, peanuts, walnuts and the
green leafy vegetables, lettuce, en-
dive, spinach, greens of all kinds,
celery, etc.
Having fed the growing child the
proper food to make good teeth, the
next important step is to see that he
keeps them clean. Teach him at the
earliest possible age to clean them
thoroughly at least night and morning
with a brush and water. A good tooth
paste helps, but clear water is better
than nothing. Do not buy every denti-
frice you, see advertised, as many
which are the most highly advertised
are injurious to the teeth. Ask your
dentist what to use.
Teach the child io brush the teeth
downward with straight, firm- strokes.
This is the best way , to remove the
particles of food from between the
teeth. Brush inside and out and don't
be afraid to brush the tongue. Finish
with gargling the throat well and rins-
ing the mouth thoroughly.
After each meal clean the particles
of food out from between the teeth.
For this use a bit of dental floss, or if
you absolutely cannot get- this, use
a good quill or wooden toothpick.
Never use a pin or any hard substance
which will injure the enamel. And
above 'all do not let the child bite
threads, ortry to crack nuts with the
teeth. Teeth are intendedfor but one
purpose, masticating food.
Take the child to a reliable dentist
every year and have the teeth thor-
oughly examined. This will cost you
a dollar a visit, probably, but it will
save you bundrecls of dollars in later;.;
life. Don't say- rotacan't afford it.
Let him go without something else, ci
toy, or"the cheap candy you buy when
you go to town. You spend Malay
times the two dollars • two trips to the
dentist would cost, for things he is
better off without. Gut out those
things and look after bis teeth.
Individual Birthday Cakes.
If .there is no time to bake an ela-
borate cake, and you- are unwilling.to
let your child's birthday annfversery
pass without observjng the time- hon-
ored candle custom, try the plan ot
decorating small cookies baked in
muffin pans,.
Givethem an easily made icing ot
confectioner's sugar, moistened with
Bream and flavored with vanilla. With
red candy pellets make a border on
the icing. Place a candle on each
cooky. When the cakes are placed on
a platter and the candles lighted, the
effect is altogether pleasing,
The novelty of the individual birth-
day cake will appeal to the child, and
call forth an euthusiaetic appreciation,

eat them ---sometimes chopped up and
frozen into tallow balls,
He wrote: "During the long winter
night Hans beguiled his hours of
watch by shooting rats with bow and
