THE WHY, HOW AND WHEN OF
THE TOOTHBRUSH.
WHY.
Clean teeth never decay. Only de-
cayed teeth ache. Ninety-five per
cent. of all children suffer from decay-
ed teeth. The solution of the problem
is to teach the child the proper care of
mouth and teeth.
Decayed teeth in the mouth are food
traps catching and holding particles of
food which ferment and decay, throw-
ing off poisons and providing an al-
most perfect medium for the produc-
tion, growth and development of germ
life.
Dirty uncared-for teeth spoil other-
wise good looks. Try to picture a
pretty woman with unsightly teeth.
If teeth are normal in condition and
position in the jaw, they form a per-
fect mill or grinding machine and are
intended to perform the first step in
digestion. If any teeth are lost or un-
able to function the grinding machine
loses a great deal of its efficiency.
THE SIX YEAR MOLAR AND ITS IM-
PORTANCE.
The six year molar is the most im-
portant tooth of the second or perma-
nent set and comes into the jaws be-
tween the ages of five and seven, and
by most parents it is considered a first
or baby tooth, receiving no care or at-
tention until it aches, when as a rule
it is too late to save it. This tooth
has been well named the keystone of
the dental arch, for around it the oth-
er second teeth are built. If it is lost
the development of the jaw is arrest-
ed so that when the other permanent
teeth erupt or come through the gum
there is not room for them, which re-
sults in the terrible deformities so
common, to say nothing of the loss in
efficiency of the teeth as a grinding
machine. If parents would only real-
ize what the loss of this tooth means
to the child in later life in appearance
and in health, it would not be neg-
lected. J
It pays parents and teachers to take
time to instruct children in the care of
the mouth and teeth.
Good teeth mean good health. With-
out good health normal development
and advancement in school work can-
not be expected.
Children behave better thereby and
are not so wearing on the teacher's
nerves, which improves school work.
They are better able to study, hence
do not fail to make their grades.
Pride in their teeth awakens pride
in their general appearance making
them more agreeable companions.
The foregoing statements are not
theories, but are facts proved by prac-
tical tests made in several schools in
a number of different cities and it may
be added that wherever these tests
were made the teaching of children to
care for their mouths and teeth has
not been discontinued but carried on
and expanded because its value has
been so well proved.
HOW.
To brush the teeth use a small me-
dium-stiff brush a good tooth powder
or paste. Brush all of the outside sur-
face of the upper and lower teeth with
a light circular motion, counting ten
for each position. Brush the inside
surfaces of all the teeth as well as the
tops or grinding surfaces of the back
teeth, with an in and out motion, us-
ing the count of ten as before. Finish
cleaning the mouth by brushing the
tongue in the same way.
WHEN.
A smile answers this question very
well. Will you imagine for the mo-
ment that the mouth is the kitchen,
the teeth are pots and pans, and the
stomach is the dining room? Food is
prepared in the kitchen in pots and
pans before it is sent to the dining
room. What happens to the pots and
pans after each meal? They are
scrubbed and scoured, of course. Then
why not give our teeth at least the
same care we would give to cooking
and eating utensils? If we were com-
pelled to eat meal after meal using
plate, knife, fork and spoon that ‘were
never washed, we would very soon
change our boarding house. Ts it not
reasonable that we clean our teeth
after each meal? In addition to three
times a day there is one more cleans-
ing which is equally important, and
that is just before retiring at night.
If we go to bed with a mouth that is
not clean we have a real banquet for
the ever-present germs, and while we
are sleeping, this being the one time
our tongues and lips are still, they de-
velop and multiply undisturbed and
do the most damage.
THE TOOTHBRUSH BRIGADE.
We are the toothbrush brigade.
Our advice is the best that is made:
If you would be HEALTHY,
. HAPPY AND GAY
Just use your toothbrush
FOUR TIMES A DAY.
We DO—
WILL YOU?
CARE OF THE TOOTHBRUSH.
Wash thoroughly after using, with
clear water, then either hang it or
stand in a glass where the light or
sun shines on it, if possible. Washing
the toothbrush in a solution of salt
and water, quantity of salt to quanti-
ty of water every few days will do
much to keep the toothbrush clean and
will prolong its life and efficiency.
Why be Hurried.
Just as the man got to the platform
the train began to pull out. He made
a dash for it, but he was lugging two
heavy grips, and he was fat, to boot—
so he just simply couldn’t make the
grade. He came walking back up the
platform, puffing and blowing and de-
jected in spirit,
“Too bad!” some one commented.
“Was you going to leave on that
train?”
The fat man managed the best with-
ering look he could. Then—
“Oh, no. There was a man on that
train that I borrowed some money
from a couple of years ago, and I
wanted to pay him back before he left
town!”—Kansas City Times.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN,
DAILY THOUGHT.
Should you e’er ask me;
“What is the sun?”
“Thine eyes,” I'd answer,
“0 charmng one.”
Shoul you e’er ask me;
“What is sweet wine 2”
“Tis kissng thy lips
O love of mine.”
Should you ere ask me;
“What life holds best?”
“Tis holding thy hand
In perfect rest.”
—From Poppy Leaves, written by A. Haull-
gate Hills.
A very clever hostess noted for her
interesting entertainments, remarked
that, in her opinion, hearts had been
“done to death” as a Valentine decora-
tion. And just to prove that she could
give a distinctive party, she decided
to feature the old-fashioned lace pa-
per Valentine.
She dressed a doll to look as much
like one of these old-time figures as
possible. This she will put in a lace
paper frame and use as her center-
piece. The double frame, which opens
out on accordion folded slips of pa-
per, will give the best effect from each
side of the table. At each guest’s
place she will put an old-fashioned
nosegay made of candy. At least one
candy shop in town makes a specialty
of these. The candies are small, hard
ones in different flavors, which give
the different colors to the flowers.
Each is wrapped in waxed paper which
is twisted out into lengths that may
be fastened together. When a cluster
of these are cleverly arranged and
bordered with lace paper, the effect
is most charming and will prove ex-
tremely effective.
To help in giving color to the table
she will place cut glass plates at eith-
er end, one to be filled with brilliant
red bonbons and the other with flat
patties of the same hue in which tiny
figures of cupid stand poised. And, if
needed, she will use baskets of red
jordan almonds.
Before each guest she will place a
tiny plate, the size known as “butter
chips.” On this held upright by a
drop of melted paraffine, are two
small candles, one white, the other red.
The former represents the girls and
the latter the men; the opposite color
in each case being the one in whom
they are most interested, not neces-
sarily the one beside them. The can-
dles are lighted and burn throughout
the meal and are anxiously watched,
for they tell the course of love. By
burning steadily to- the socket the
couple will, of course, have a happy
and loving life. Sputtering and un-
steadiness foretell numerous quarrels.
The candle which burns out first shows
which love will soonest die and if the
flame goes out before the candle is
ended, a separation is inevitable,
This hostess has a very pleasant
glassed-in porch. But the room might
be used for this purpose. She will
string gay paper Valentines on slen-
der wires across the porch in dimita-
tion of the old-time Valentine shops.
One side belongs to the men, the op-
posite to the girls. Each select the
Valentine which best pleases them, on
the reverse of which they will find a
letter. And by matching the letters
the partners for the first dance are
found. From time to time by “buy-
ing” new Valentines, other partners
are obtained.
A good recipe for a cake for the
Valentine party is made by creaming
a cupful of butter with two cupfuls
of sugar. Then add the whites of five
eggs beaten until very stiff. Sift to-
gether one cupful of cornstarch with
two cupfuls of flour and four and a
half teaspoonfil of baking powder,
and add to first mixture alternately
with one cupful of milk. Flavor with’
half a teaspoonful of almond extract.
Bake in a large round pan. Bake a
tiny silver heart in it, and the one who
gets it will be Dan Cupid’s especial
favorite throughout the year. Ice
with white icing, made by boiling a
cupful of sugar with half a cupful of
boiling water till it spins a thread and
pouring it onto the beaten whites of
two eggs. Flavor with vanilla. Or-
nament around the edge with the ic-
ing put through a pastry tube, and put
a candy cupid in the centre. A row
of red or pink candy hearts could be
used instead of the ornamental ic-
ing.
“Hearts and arrows” are very nice
served with afternoon tea, or passed
with ice cream. Cream a third of a
cupful of shortening with a cupful of
sugar, and add one well-beaten egy
and a quarter of a cupful of milk,
Then stir in two cupfuls of flour into
which you have sifted two tablespoon-
fuls of baking powder and half a tea-
spoonful of salt. Flavor with vanilla
and roll out on a well-floured board as
thin as possible. Cut into hearts and
arrows, sprinkle with granulated su-
gar and bake to a delicate brown.
“True Love Brew” is an ideal drink
for lovers old and young. Squeeze
the juice from nine oranges and six
lemons, and mix it with one cupful of
grated pineapple, canned, a cupful and
a half of teea. Have ready a syrup
made by boiling a cupful and a fourth
of sugar with a cupful of hot water
for 15 minutes. Add this to the fruit
juices and chill thoroughly. Just be-
fore serving add either plain or Apol-
linaris water. Serve in tall glasses.
Saint Valentine’s day is for children
as well as grown-ups, and a charming
way to celebrate it is by giving a
masquerade party. This need be just
a simple children’s dance, but with ap-
propriate decorations and special
frocks and black masks for the little
folks, it will have an air of difference,
and an added charm will be given to
a simple party.
Large and small red paper hearts
strung on cords are hung in festoons
around the rooms. Paper flowers and
fans, valentines, candy hearts, cupids,
quivers filled with candy, make inex-
pensive favors, The table decorations
and simple refreshments should carry
out the valentine idea as much as pos-
sible.
The girls should wear as foundation
a plain white dress. White crepe pa-
per 1s sewn on it around the waist,
falling in folds to the bottom of the
skirt. The paper should then be gen-
tly pulled between the fingers to make
it look “frilly.” Little ruffles of the
paper should be sewn around the waist
and arms; small red paper hearts are
pasted along the edges of the ruffles
or in some other symmetrical design.
A sash of red crepe paper is tied
around the waist with a big bow at
the back. Crepe paper has developed
into such a thing of beauty that in-
stead of plain white paper, the girls
might wear a skirt of some red floral
design, which would need no further
ornamentation.
The dearest little crowns may be
made from a strip of cardboard bent
and fastened in a circle; to this are
pasted a large red heart and a small
gold one alternating around the crown,
and with red or white slippers and
stockings—behold a miniature Queen
of Hearts.
Boys seriously object to being
“dressed up,” so if they wear their
white linen suits with red bows and
belts, and possibly a crown of many
points covered with gilt paper and a
small red heart in each point, they
will fit into the color-scheme of the
party and yet feel sufficiently comfort-
able in their clothes to have a jolly
good time.

Penn State Man Heads Large Engi-
neering Firm.
That a graduate of The Pennsylva-
nia State College, James Gilbert
White, is at the head of the largest
engineering corporation of its kind in
the world has been revealed through
the investigation of records of gradu-
ates undertaken recently by president
John M. Thomas. Mr. White is presi-
dent of J. G. White and company, In-
corporated, of New York city, which
also includes the J. G. White Engi-
neering Corporation and the J. G.
White Management Corporation.
Mr. White was one of the early
graduates in engineering at State Col-
lege, being a member of the class of
1882. His home was originally at Mil-
roy, although he has been actively en-
gaged in engineering work in New
York city since 1890.
In discussing the success that Mr.
White has attained, president Thomas
pointed out that from a few engineer-
ing students back in the early days of
the college, Penn State has grown so
rapidly that the present engineering
school is the largest unit of the insti-
tution, with an enrollment of over
1100 resident students, and is also the
largest engineering school in the
State. In addition to being a member
of the college board of trustees, Mr.
White is chairman of the committee
now in charge of the $2,000,000 emer-
gency building fund campaign being
conducted for the college.

——If you want all the news read
the “Watchman.”
A Technical Explanation.
Two commercial travelers on a train
became involved in an argument as to
the action of the vacuum brake.
“It’s the inflation of the tube that
stops the train,” declared the first
traveler.
“Wrong, wrong,” shouted the seec-
ond. “It’s the output of the exhaus-
tion!”
So they wrangled for an hour. Then,
when the train pulled into the station,
they agreed to submit the matter for
settlement to the engineer. That gen-
tleman, leaning from the window of
his cab, listened with an attentive
frown to the two travelers’ statement
of their argument. Then he smiled,
shook his head and said:
“Well, gents, you're both wrong
tbout the workin of the vacuum
brake. Yet it’s very simple and easy
to understand. When we want to
stop the train we just turn this here
tap, and then we fill the pipe with vac-
uum.”—Philadelphia Ledger.

The Kind You Have Always
WORKERS IN WOOD.
In the great lumber mills of the
United States nothing is thought of
reducing great pine sticks to kindling
wood in a few minutes, and the mill-
man is merely required to see that
the stick is made secure and straight
in the carriage. Such a workman
would be bewildered if compelled sud-
dently to follow the Philippine method
of lumber reduction. There the larg-
est sticks are sawed by hand.
Even woods as hard as teak are set
upon a frame, and two laborers mo-
notonously pull a big saw through its
tough length for days and days, until
they have produced the slabs of which
western furniture is made, Yet, in
spite of the length of time necessary
to achieve such a result, these woods
are exported to civilized countries at a
good profit.
After the lumber is cut into com-
paratively small pieces, it is sold to
the native carpenters and builders to
be erected into houses. But the na-
tive carpenter has a task before him
that calls for exercise of greater skill
than is required of his fellow crafts-
man in the United States. The mod-
€rn carpenter is little more than a
Joiner of parts. The intricate mold-
ings and beadings used in our houses
are made in mills by machinery, and
come ready finished to the joiners
hand. All he has to do is put them
together.
The carpenter of the Far East re-
ceives the wood in the rough, exactly
as it is left by the sawyer. He, or a
fellow tradesman, must carve his
inoldings before they can be placed in
the houses. In India, China, Turkey,
Syria, and adjacent countries these
clever artisans may be seen working
with tools almost as primitive as those
used in the days before America was
discovered. Occasionally an enter-
prising native will introduce a small
Ilece of western-made machinery, but
not often. Lathes are everywhere
employed, but they are not the steel
article exported from the United
States. The wood to be turned is se-
cured in a spindle; a cord attached to
a flexible stick is given a turn or two
round it; the other end of the cord is
drawn taut, and the resulting bow is
worked backward and forward. The
effect of this is to whirl the wood rap-
idly, when it may be easily shaped by
means of knives and chisels.
