A. previous generation used to refer to those who were dead but did not know they were. Despite 'the change in meaning of phrases and expressirns, the human body in its development continues to follow along well-established lines. No matter at what age you may con- sider life begins, the development of your teeth began at least six months before the day of your birth. ' After all, the importantquestion is "What happens ?" rather than "*VVhen did something begin?" It is no particular value for us to know that although most babies are born without any visible signs of teeth, yet the teeth are well under way even if they are hidden. This . information, however, is of no particular value un- less we snake use of it. Actually, front the point of view •• of dental health, this is the most important idea for us to get hold of. ''The soundness of our teeth depends upon the food we eat during that period when the structure of the teeth is being laid down. The diet of the expectant mother determines the kind of teeth baby: will have for his first set. What baby has to eat and what he continues to eat during the early years of Life is the deciding fee - 'Ur as to the kind of teeth he will have and how long they will last. Nothing is of more interest to the family than baby's fust tooth. Few things should be of as much interest es the loss of the first permanent tooth, It is unfortunate that lack oe reasonable care in eating the right kinds of food, neglect of cleaning and delay in securing dental care lead to so much dental diseases, but this is so, It is not suggested that anyone should have to eat with .his mind fix- ed on his teeth alone. The teeth are a part of the body and so they are af- fected, for good or ill, by those things which stake or mar the health of the body. Food that is good for the whole body is good for the teeth. Milk, fruits, green leafy vegetables, egg. yolk and cod-liver oil are the foods which the growing child needs in a- bundance. The teeth should be kept .clean. The most important thee to brush the teeth is before going' to bed, and it is desirable also to brush thein after each nieaI. Once decay has started, there is only one way to arrest it and that is through proper dental treatment. Better still, do not want until you know there is decay; have your teeth eatamined regularly.

NO WONDER HE FELT AND LOOKED SO MUCH BETTER Ralf in fun and half because he occasionally "felt punk", a college chap joined 39 other students to form a test class or. clinic. It was desired to test on this class the recuperative power of a certain tonic preparation, the formula of which was known to have blood ' building qualifies. Like the, other 39, this young men's blood was tested and the, "count" of red eorpuscles and red colouring matter: was found well below normal. Nowonder he `felt punk" at times. Fie was given the tonic and returned in thirty days to have Ms blood tested again. There wan no doubt about: improved health. Ile looked it and felt it. Yfis blood lest showed that red corpuscles and red colouring matter had strikingly increased. No wonder he felt and looked so much better, Would you like to feel better, too? Would you like to be keen again about study or work or play? Then take this "tested tonic" which proved suck a benefit to the forty college students. It restores well-being by increasing the red corpuscles and red colouring matter of the blood—those carriers in the blood stream which must be kept up to normal numbers if the person is to possess. health and vitality.. This tested tome is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. 'limy to take whether at hone, at college or at business. Recommended for all who feel, ' run•down, over -tired, serene of "low", or are under -weight.

Why shouldn't all women be like that? They have the capabilities for it. It is just necessary to eu2'tivaite an all around character, not to allow oneself -to become one-sided. You know if you leave your plants always with the same side to the sun they will grow one-sided, they grow 'toward the sun. So if we just eulti- vete one side of our nature, such as the artistic, or the practical, we shall row that way.. justgIf wekeep our lives revolving, taking an interest in all phases of life, then we shall come to have n. rounded character. Women can do a lot for themselves if they just resolutely turn their eyes in oc- casionaky and determine to cultt- vatethemselves along the lines they wish to dovelope. —RIEBEKAli. CORNELIA'S JEWELS Cornelia was a Ronan lady who lived ninny, many hundreds of years ago. She had two sons, who were very proud of their mother, thinking she was the most beautiful woman in the world. One clay a friend of Cornelia's came to visit her. She was beauti- fully attired, and was bedecked with costly gents and ornaments. The two boys were walking in the garden when they passed the ladies. "Did you ever see so handsome- a person as our another's friend ?" ask- ed the younger of his brother. "She Fortes like a queen." "Yet not so beautiful as our moth- er," replied the other. "She has fine dresses and rich jewelry; but her face is not good and kind like our moth- er's. It is she who is queenlike." "It is true; no one can compare tvith our ntother in Rome," said the Younger. Cornelia turned and addressed her Sons. "Boys, you are to dine with us here in the garden, then our friend will show us that casket of wonderful jewels you have heard so much a- bout. When the casket was opened the boys looked wonderingly at the topes of pearls tr e and the precious s i tots st nes. p p o The friend turned to Cornelia and said: "Ts it true that you Have no wealth? They tell pre that you pos- sess no jewels." "Wealth I have none," replied Cor- nelia; "brit I have two very precious jewels." "Show them to nye," said the vis- itor. Then Cornelia placed an arm lov- ingly about each of her sons' should- ers and remarked: "These are my jewels; more precious to me than the Basketful, or anything that money can buy --My boys!" * * 0 :p * * q: * '0..

'b 'M e, 1* * * YOUR Care of Children Household Economics WORLD AND MINE by JOHN C. KIRKWOOD (Copyright) Much wants more. .I wonder if this is the explanation of the prevalent discontent. - Is it not true that we Who are alive today ,have more of the desirable things of life than any peo- ple •of a former time .possessed, It is true that some of us had more txnoney in the 1920's than we have had in the 19300s, but when everything is added up, we find ourselves in posses- sion of comforts and conveniences far beyond anything which our fath- ers and mothers and grandparents posesssed at our age. Listen to this: First of all, a mean should al- ways consider how much more he has more than- he wants. I am wonderfully pleased with the reply which Aristippus made to gone who condoled him upon the loss of a farm. "Why," said he, "I have three farms still, and you have but one. So that 1 ought rather to be :af libted for you than you for Me." This extract from an essay by Joseph Addison (born 1672) is illus- trative of the content of its writer, and is from- his essay, "Advantages of Content." And the wise contribu- tor to "The Spectator" goes on as fol- lows: Foolish men are more apt to consider what they have lost than what they possess, and to fix their eyes upon those who are richer than themselves rather on those who axe under greater difficulties. All the real Pleas.- tires leas-tires and conveniences of life Iie in a narrow compass; but it Is the humour of maeik!nd to be al- ways looking forward, and to be straining after one who has got the start of them in wealth and honour. Persons of a higher vank live in a kindof splendid poverty, and are perpetually wanting, be. cause, instead of acquiesing in the solid' pleasures of eife, they en- deavour to outvie one another Ile shadows and appearances. Let a man's estate be what it will, he is a poor man if he does not live within it. In short, content is equivalent to wealtt and luxury xmw to poverty. Upon the whole, a contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world. All this is sound sense. It was just such wisdom which made Addison one of the immortals among British writers. Let us see what a man who lived before Addison has to say about life --Christopher Mantle, one of the pioneer printers of the world, who set up his printing press in Antwerp in 1549. Here is his conception of. happiness: ' To have a cheerful, bright, and airoy dwelling place, With garden, lawns, and climbing flowers sweet; Fresh fruits, good wine, few child- ren; there to meet A quiet faithful wife whose love shines through her face. To have no debt, no lawyer's feud; no love but one, And not too much to do with one's relations. Be just, and be content. Not but vexations Arise from toadying the great, when, all is done. Plantin did not quite say so, but he. nearly said, "Live in towns, not in great cities." Unless one is very, very rich, one is unlikely to have "an alley dwelling place with garden, lawns and climbing flowers in the city. But they .all are possible to those who dwell in towns. You see, I am lighting the .big city—not the small .city-•-asa place ' of residence ;for those who Inc not already established there. In- deed, I 'would be giving good advice to many who live in big cities if I bade them get away'.from them back to the town or farm, Let pie tell you of Mrs. Eleanor Risely, author' of "The Abandoned Orchard"—a captivating book and one which should be available to you through your public library. Mrs. Risely says in her entrancing nar- rative of her life as a grower and seller of apples: Previously inured to idleness and frivolity in a big icity, sud- denly I found myself a sorrow- dazed, impoverished, but.inrpor- testate woman, who. at once flung herself desperately into many fields of human endeavour. But always Il new that hidden in the wilds of a mild -western' state a thoroughly abandoned young or - chard of more than 100 acres beckoned .•me with unsprayed . arms, as yet empty of apples, Resolutely I turned y dace away. I had never Tiray he the • ,Country and I - was not drawn to apples. -.. My father-in-law, who willed me the orchard, de- lighted: to tell me of how, when he had gone from the, city to plant these idle fields In apple trees,there had been a strike for higher wages among the planters and ploughers, and how one of the fainters' had mounted a bar- rel, and addressed' the other fanners, saying, "No damned ,capitalist from llhe city is going to come down here and run the country." It remained for the widow woman, delicately, roared, to make her aban- doned orchard produce apples of gold. Read her beak. See how an untrain- ed woman frons a great city faced a most discouraging situation and con- quered it—without capital and with - rout experience in apple culture. A year ago Mrs. Risley wrote me a letter in which she said: ' I paid a high price for my nine years' orchard experience — per- haps. Now for reasons of health I live in the Ouchita Mountains of Arkansas, hugged up against a forest reservation, nine miles from a town and two miles and more from a village where we get the mail• --when the "crick" is not too high, But in my solitude at the orchard I seem to have found a clue to the secret of happiness, and I do not miss the world. I go back to Addison for the con- clusion of this contribution to The )clews -Record. Says Joseph: "This virtue (of content), if it does not bring riches, does the sane thing -- by banishing the desire of then. If it cannot remove the disquietudes arising out of a man's mind, body or fortune it makes arc , him easy under ndor then. It extinguishes all murmur, repining and ingratitude. It de- stroys all inaordinate ambition, and every tendency to eo1.'rup tion with regard to the community •wherein he is placed. It gives sweetness to his conversation and a perpetual seren- ity to all his thoughts." WITHOUT WAITING TO BE TOLD "Miss Brown, put back those laces. Miss Williams, see to those ribbons. Get this counter in shape." The floor- walker's voice was sharp, and the Rids evho set about obeying les orders looked reseutfuIIy after its retreating figure, .and made remarks regarding his temper as soon as he was well out of hearing. Yet the floor -walker had some ex - auto. The clay had been a busy one. Customers had thronged about the bargains, goods had been pulled over till the counter presentee) a most dis- orderly and unattractive appearance, Bet when the lull came, the clerks had stood back and chatted instead of improving the opportunity to get things to rights. They were waiting to be told to do a thing they should have done without the telling. In the Industrial world there are a few who give orders, and many who take them, and the first class is re- cruited front the . second.. But no worker is advanced from a subordin. ate position to a higher till he has proved his ability to put himself to work without being :told. The girl who waits to do the obvious duty till someone points it out to her, bas put an impassable barrier in the way of her own success.

AGE The need of having clear familiar things, Things loved in childhood; which, perchance, oft brings A sense of sweet security. Away From all the burry of life's every -day. A place of peace where We may view the shore; The brink of great transition. More and mere The small and fretting things of daily, life Fade in a rosy mist. One leaves the strife For this sure haven. Age has now the time To savor life. Almost it is sublime -- The true appreciation years can give. The knowledge that we know just how to live. And so we keep the dear familiar things A link from youth to age each mem- ory brings. —M.G.W. in The Globe.

"If you are growing stronger every day, I am so very glad to have you stay." My darling went To Heaven long ago. Am I content To stay at home? Why can I not be glad Of 'all the glories that she there bas had? She needed change. Why am 1 lath to stay And do her work, and let her go a. way? The land is lively where her feet have been; Why do I not rejoice that she has seen Its beauties first? That she will show to me The City Beautiful, Is it so hard to be Happy that she is happy?

SERMON IN A STOCKING The supper is over, the hearth ia swept, And in the wood fire's glow, The childrent luster tear c o i ea a tale Of the time so long ago. When grandmother's hair was golden brown, And the warns blood same and went O'er the face that Could scarce have been sweeter then Than now, in its rich content. The face is wrinkled and careworn now, And: the golden hair is gray, But the light that shone in the young girl's eyes Has never gone away. And her needles catch the fire -light, And in and out they go, With the clicking music that grand. uta loves, Shaping the stocking toe, And the waking children love it, too, For they know the stocking song Brings many a tale to grandma's mina Which they shall hear ere long. But it brings no stety of olden times To grandma's heart tonight, Only a ditty, quaint and short, Is sung by the needles bright. "Life is a stocking," grandma says, "And yours is just begun; And I am knitting the toe of mine And my work is almost done. ' "With merry hearts we begin to knie And the ribbing is almost play, Some are gay colors and some are white, And some are ashen gray. "But most are made of many a hue, With many a stitcu set wrong, And many a row is sadly ripped Ere the whole is fair and'strcng. "There are long, plain spaces, with., out a break And in youth nee hard to bear, And many a weary tear is 'dropped As we fashion, the heel with care. "But the saddest, happiest time is that We court and yet we shun; When our Heavenly Father breaks the thread And says that our work is done." The children came to say good -night, With tears in their bright young eyes, While, in grandma's lap, with broken thread, The finished stocking lies. READ ALL TIRE ADS.
