What Tartar Really Is, and
How to Keep Teeth Sound
By DR. LEONARD KEENE HIRSH6ER6 1
A. B., M. A., M. D. (Johns Hopkins University)
TARTAR is nothing mor nor less than a rough
coating- spread over the surface of the teeth. It
appears as a result of poor brushing, or of no !
brushing at all, and, in general, as a result of un
cleanly tendencies.
Tartar is apt to be a breeding place of bacteria.
These microbes lift their heads and start thoir ravages 1
when the tiny bits of food, too small to be seen by the
naked eye, begin to decay. The heat of the mouth is
the incubator of the bacteria. It nourishes them and
makes them thrive at the expense of human vitality.
If tartar is permitted to remain upon the surface
of the teeth one layer of it becomes superfmposed upon
the other, and in a short time a greenish layer is visible. Bacteria are
then bred with inconceivable speed, and decay of the teeth grows apace.
The breath becomes lntsnsely objoc- .

Decayed teeth affect digestion and may
lead to abscessea, gum bolls, unhealthy

Prevent decay of your teeth and you

When properly used, with a sotall. soft

When the teeth feel Ilk thla they are
about as clean as they can be.
Never us a horlsontal movement of
the brush, for that only acrubs the sur
face of the teeth and wears away the
enamel, especially that of the canine
teeth. Let your brush move with an
un-and-down movement, so that the
l.rlstle penetrate the crevlcea and thus
remove food particles.

HOME-MAKING HELPS

Solving Some Open-Fire Chimney Problems.
THEiRB are two forms of tlie ap

with an abortive third, the gun log.
The open wood fire is the fire Ideol. Tho
one built of csnnel coal Is second choice.
Th basket grate in whl( li hard coal In

for It heats well aftd is often the solu

The succesa of the open fire depends
almost entirely on chimney ronsiructlon.
In building a home it Is not wi.se to trust
the chimney entirely to the architect's
blue prints, nor yet to the hunds of the
mason, many of whom have their owp
theories as to how a chimney should be
t'ullt, but study, get expert opinions and
learn the Ins snd the outs yourself If
you are expecting to busk in warmth
snd firelight without being cmoked like
a herring or havlnt your face scorched
while your back freezes.
If the chimney is too big 60 per cent,

you freeze. Kjtperta say that for a city

wide, two snd a half feet high and one

The smoke ahelf or chamber regulates
the draft. When the fire is kindled the
warm air rising induces a down draft

the fulliuviiig way :
Suspend a metal flue and hood from

grate, opening at the proper height
above the hearth. Kleldstone, tile or
concrete are generally used for the
chimniy-breiist with a raised hearth.
The higher the chimney the greater the
draft.

In olden times the raised hearth was

there is growing up a wall between this man nnd his children that is
nothing short of a tragedy.
No, I am not a crank about plain dress. I love pretty things and
bright colors and soft fabrics. A high school girl can look as pretty
as a peach in a plain little dress and a gay little sweater and a bright
bow at hor throat. Shs doesn't need silks and satins and whisper.
whert she wears them she shows th.it her mother doesn't really understand
the true art of dress.
She doesn't know that she is a - funny in those dresscd-up clothes for
school as hor father would be if he went downtown to his office in evening
dfess, or her mother if she went to market in a ball gown.
Silk shirts for high school boys what a lot of rubbish!
