1 ' Use the Toothbrush. .
The regular use of the toothbrush la
necessary not only to remove the acid
Incrustations that eat holes ta the
teeth, but also to sweep away the
germs of many terrible diseases. These
QuU the necks of the teeth an Ideal
nesting place. They multiply a million
fold In a few., hours unless washed
away; then they go down the throat
enter the lungs, the stomach, the eusta
chian tubes and the passages behind
the nose. . There they cause consump
tion, diphtheria, earache, catarrh, bron
chitis, tonslUtls-in. fact it would be
difficult to say with certainty what dis
eases may not arise from the germs
that have grown upon the teeth. :. It is
now-; considered ' almost certain ' that
many cases of appendicitis have this
as their 'origin. Hence there Is no
process of the toilet so important aa
that of brushing the teeth. New York

Rogar Crabb's Bran Broth.
Roger Crabb. '- who lived In seven
teenth century England, was a persist
ent faster. He sold off bis stock in
trade he was a "haberdasher of bats"
and took uphla residence In a hut
near Ickenham, where he lived on 3
farthings a week. He described his
experiences In a pamphlet ' entitled
The English Hermit: or. The Won
der of the Age." "Instead of strong
drinks and wines," says the eccentric
Boger, "I give the old man a cup of
water, and instead of mutton 'and rab
bit I give him broth thickened with
bran and pudding made with bran and
turnip leaves, chopped together." Vig
orous health was the result and bis
abstention from food was regarded
with such suspicion that, on one occa
sion he narrowly escaped being burn
ed alive as a wizard.

THE ONLY WAY TO DO

; Do professional men earn as much
now as formerly? - We hear of big doc
tor bills and huge attorney fees, but is
the average' s good? Jefferson, who
never turned around without, noting
the fact lu his dairy, has left a record
of his legal fees. He was earning
$3,000 very, shortly after he began . to
practice' in what today would be called
a village.' I have the word of former
Attorney General W. U. Hensel for the
statement that James Buchanan, Penn
sylvania's only president of the United
States, earned an average of $0,500 a
year for the first-five years he prac
ticed law lu Lancaster. At the end of
that period he was making $3,000 a
year. How ma qfpflng lawyers in
America today d(i thut well? - Lancas
ter at ,the time when Buchanan was
doing this was a town of but a few
thousand people. And a dollar when
Monroe was president bought as much
as several dollars would buy now.
