There are many other reasons why you will like this soap;

THE MU IN REVIEW
Old -Age Pensions and Pauperism.
Tn one respect Britain's old -age pension
system lies fully justified, if not surpassed,
expectations. Pauperism among people
over 70 years of age has decl*ned 76 per
per cent., while in many viral districts
a pauper of that age is almost unknown,
Outdoor relief to aged people has declin-
ed. 95 per cent
Some critics of the system say that
these figures have little moaning, because
What the state 'saves in one direction it
nays out in another, and that it makes
but little difference whether a man is a
state pensioner or a pauper. This view
will not be approved by any real student
of social and moral problems. A pension
jsaid by the communityy as a 'matter of
ustice is one thing; relief of pauperism,
'whether in poorho;:aees or of the outdoor
variety, is a very different thing. The
specter of the poorhouse produces an ef-
fect quite unlike that of the prospect of
a pension.
Moreover, paupers are supported by
local taxation, while the pension system
rests on national finance. Communities
have been relieved of heavy burden; they
even feel the benefit of the circulation of
the money received by the pensioners.
The weekly sum is only $1.25, and in many
cases this means starvation. An early
increase in the rate Is quite probable.
whereas a retu':, ' to the old plan is en-
tirely out of the question. • ,
Americans Learn From Britain.
George W. Perkins, of New York, who
has been abroad since June, motoring
throw h':the 'British Isles, sa that peo-
•ple abroad look upon the United States
as in two sections, one part as America
and the other the state of New York. The
political situation in New York is a dis-
grace to the civilised world and it ought
to be straightened out at any cost.
"It would be well," said Mr. Perkins,
"if some Englishmen would coins over
here and teach our people to build roads.
There has boon $100.000,000 spent on high-
ways in the state of New York in the past
few years and what have we to show for
'it? The roads in England and Ireland are
built to last and not torn up by automo-
biles in. a few months.
Fifteen years ago there were about 20,-
000 semi-triiets in England; now there are
upwards of 50,000. And these trusts are
not contititially prosecuted and persecut-
ed by the Government, but are fostered
and encouraged, I visited the steel manu-
facturing districts; there is great activ-
ity; the people are all busy and apparent-
ly contented, although they are, not so
well housed as the workers in this eonn-
try.' I travelled many thousands of
miles through England, Ireland, Scotland
and Wales, and I do not believe I saw as
many as 100 new houses or buildings of
recent construction.
`'Another point on which the English
people are much more liberal in their
-views than the Government and people of
tine country is that of banking. There is
one bank in London which alone 'has de-
posits
e-
o e -third $500,000,000,
f the 0total hdep a t sof ail the
banks in New York together. Yet there
is no cry of money monopoly or anything
of that kind in England.'•

teeth are worn fiat. They are of
the kind fitted for a vegetarian
rather than a meat eater, Their
owner reached a ripe old age with-
out the assistanee of a qualified

Happily one does not need to re-
neuece ,all the comforts, of life in
order to retain sound teeth. Dr.
Stewart: created enthusiasm by de-
elating that cheese and biscuits;
nuts and port are the natural end-
ing to a. dinner—biscuits and nuts

At what age should a child's teeth
first receive .attention Z School age
is too •late, it was urged, for by
then the infant teeth have gone,
and on them depends the soundness
of the permanent teeth. A den-
tist said that if he had his way
every child's mouth should be ex-
amined at the age of three or four
years. .A doctor said he would pre-
fer three or four months.
'Breathing For Beauty.
.Nine persons out of every ten live
and die without ever using 'their
full lung capacity. Long, deep
breaths through the nose is the cor-
rect method. This not only warms
the air before it enters the lungs,
but the tiny hairs in the nostrils
keep out impurities. This saves
much throat trouble. Deep breath-
ing is a natural enemy to consump-
tion. The chest should lift with
each breath. The expansion means
growth and a better figure. Deep
breathing is just a 'habit, to be ac-
quired -'after deliberate and sus-
tained practice until it becomes
natural, The results are better
health, purer blood, less liability
to germ. attacks, a better color in
the• face, and brighter eyes. Beauty
doctors, with expensive fees, al-
ways n stipulate for deep nasal
breathing. It is abeauty bringer.

IRISh HAVE THE BEST TEETH.
Scotch Rave the Worst in the
United Kingdom.
The best teeth in the United
Kingdom are the Irish and the
worst are the Scots, says Dr. Stew-
art, the medical officer for East
Suffolk, who read a paper at the
conference of the British Dental
I Association at Cambridge recently,
aeoording to the Lon(1,oai Chroni-
cle's correspondent.
A.11 the dentists consulted agreed
that the assertion is substantially
rtrue, Soots teeth are bad and are
becoming worse. Dr. Stewart at•
tributes the deterioration to the in-
ordinate passion of Scots rluilden
for sweets. Mr. Rhodes, the presi-
dent of the Association, suggests as
another cause the increasing `habit
`of making meals of tea kind bread
Iand butter and the decreasing con-
suniption of oatmeal. Another
authority thinks that the deficiency
of lime in Scottish water is a. con-
tributing factor,
I The strong white teeth of the
Irishman, which are the admiration
of the dentist when ho looks at them
and his despair when he has to ex-
tract cure, are attributed to his sim-
ple vegetarian diet, He eats little
meat and few sweets, and his food
is' of the kind that requires biting.

A RIVAL TO THE SUN.
Substitute for Daylight in Dlany
Businesses.
Dr. Herbert E. Ives, a prominent
scientist of Philadelphia, claims to
have invented a substitute for day-
light. • He has been at work for a
dozen years at the research labora•
tories of the city's gas plant, and
finally has produced, he says, a
light which has passed the test and
is in every way equal to sunshine
and -'the light of day. He has de-
signed a powerful incandescent
lamp with a special mantle which is
so placed in the top of a specially -
made cabinet that its rays are im-
mediately beneath a reflector. This
is made of metal and the light is
forced downward through a series
of delicately colored screens.
In telling of his discovery, Dr.
Ives said: "My recent invention
has a field of usefulness in certain
industries, such as textile manufac-
turing, dyeing, color printing and
similar. arts. In. color printing the
presses can be run only so long as
the ink put in by daylight lasts.
With the aid of my invention the
presses can be run every hour of
the twenty-four. In the sorting of
cigars their color cannot be told by
artificial light. In dental work the
color of artificial teeth cannot be
told at night. In paper manufac-
ture and the manufacture of flour
they cannot tell the different
grades. With the aid of this ma-
chine they can tell the grades . all
thetum n e. Thread manufacturers
will ittestthecolor
use e to of
threads. Even 'in the da$ime they
'cannot match threads • .e
whereas with this invention ee -
will be able to tell the color of each
thread at any time. Diamond buy-
erftill only deal in 'the daylight.
Now they will be aa,blo•to make deals
at any time. Surgery is another
field of usefulness. The color of
tissues cannot be detected by arti-
ficial light. Sur'geon's depend upon
the color of tissues to tell whether
they are diseased or not, and as a
consequence, major surgical opera -
floes can now be performed at
night. The invention can be made
in various forms to be used for dif-
ferent •purposes. It ran be used to
light a. small room or closet, or it

ADOPT KNIGHT ROTOR EX -
CLU SIV ELY.
London General Omnibus Derision.
Perhaps the most striking tribute
the Knight Motor hats received is
contained in the following item of
news published in the "Automo-
bile" of August '7th, as follows:
"According to definite news pub-
lished to -day, the big London Gen-
eral Omnibus Co., which has 2,600
motor omnibuses on the London
streets, has been so thoroughly sat-
isfied with the service given by the
300 Knight -rigged Daimler 'buses
which have been running for twelve
months past that they have decided
to replace gradually all the poppet
engines in their 2,600 'buses with
Knight Motors. The 'buses in ques-
tion are greatly favored by the
public on account of their silence
and smooth -running qualities, while
the great power of acceleration en-
ables the driver to pick :his way
through traffic to very best advan-
tage, with the result that the
Knight Motor has now been select-
ed as standard for future work, In
ye' w of the fact iaha' 'the daily run
of a London'bus is l 8 rtiilesof very.
strenuous work, it must be admit-
ted that the success achieved here
is very notable indeed."
The London General Omnibus
Company is one of the most effi-
ciently managed commercial car
companies in the world. ,,,fit has
spent hundreds of thousands of
pounds in developing a type of
motor 'bus most suitable to London
traffic, and its adoption of the
Knight, not only as a standard fo
future new 'buses, but to replace the
poppet valve motors in the 'buses
on the streets, is the most striking
facture the Knight Engine has ever
had.
