We certainly do have a time getting
the children to brush their teeth regu-
larly, at least once a day, preferably
after each meal. Lately the children
are staging a comeback, "I clean my
teeth as often as father and mother
-clean theirs," said one girl. "Oftener
than dad does."
Could it be possible? Having op-
portunity to visit a few of the fathers
and mothers I made some discreet in-
quiries which took the form of asking
what make of toothbrush enjoyed their
preference. Time and again I met the
reply that the present equipment was.
worn out and no opportunity had oc-
curred for its replacement. The tooth-
brushes that I saw in many cases were
sorry specimens of ancient vintage,
getting bald as to bristles and gener-
ally ` decrepit and discolored as to
frame. No matter how conscientious
father or mother might be in attempt-
ing to ply such an instrument it would
be quite impossible for it to do good
service.
"One apiece" is the rule for tooth-
brushes, and it is just as important
for grown-ups as children, The brush-
es should be well -bristled, large enough
to give a good comprehensive stroke,
yet not so large that it cannot be
readily turned to reach all surfaces of
the teeth. It should be flexible but not
wabbly. It should stand up well under
wear, but considering the fact that a
toothbrush gives service three times
every day it is not surprising that one
wears out now and then. Fifty cents
is a fair price for a good brush. If
you use it faithfully you will put it three or four tablespoonfuls of kero-
sene, When well blended, I pour the
mixture into glass containers having
covers.
This paste is excellent for cleaning
water marks and other stains and dirt
from bathtubs, lavatories and porce-
lain sinks, and I keep a jar of the
paste near at hand for these pur-
poses. It cleans without the hard rub-
bing that one finds necessary with
most other cleaners used for this pur-
pose. Every housewife will find it an
inexpensive and efficient labor -saver.

Fathers and mothers, please take
stock of your toothbrushes and see
that there is a good one per capita
through your family. Remember, that
you are neither too old nor too young
for the chore; the only persons ex-
cused are those who disdain teeth be-
cause they live wholly on a milk diet,
and those who are not dependent upon
the usual methods of cleanliness but
can take out their teeth and wash
them in a bowl. If you would avoid
this latter unenviable distinction get
a good brush and use it with persist-
ent regularity, no matter whether
young or old. Remember, that in
brushing the teeth you not only
cleanse them but you improve the cir- A COMFORTABLE HOUSE OR

MENDING KID GLOVES.

UTILIZE YOUR TIN CANS.
It is the little personal touches that
make a house a home—those things,
usually small in themselves, that show
you are interested in the art of house-
keeping. And many times the most
attractive houses are not those that
are the most expensively furnished,
but those that show the greatest am-
ount of taste and care or attention.'
One of the most charming kitchens I
ever sawwas a farm kitchen and the'
expenditure of money for the furnish-
ings was small indeed. 1
The floor was painted and the walls `
were painted apple green. - But the one
thing about the room that added more
to its attractiveness than all else was
the array of enameled cans that filled
the pantry shelves and were in evi-
dence in half a dozen places about the
room. They were all sizes and shapes.
There were baking powder cans, cof-
fee cans, -cocoa cans and spice cans of
various sizes. With automobile ena-
mel these had been painted apple
green and the name of the contents f08J
had been painted on in black. There - {
were cans foreverything that a can

Photographs of children have shown
the asymptomatic measles rash devel-

"I have been able to tell in advance
by means of photography that child-

a London practitioner.
"This method should be valuable in
smallpox cases. People in contact
with known cases could be photo-
