THIS charming little home de
signed In brick may also, with
such minor modifications as by
slightly increasing the overhang of
the eaves of the variegated slate roof
and using an Impervious coping or
proper flashing on the terrace wall,
be readily adapted to stucco construc
tion. In plan it is 27 feet 6 inches by 26
feet 6 inches, essentially a square,
thus, making for a most economical
. relation between cost of inclosing
wall and excavation to total floor
area.
The exterior details of construction
are simple and inexpensive, yet pos
sessed of great artistic merit. A
striped awning and netting over the
walled-iii front terrace provides an
Ideal place In the early morning or
.' at twilight to enjoy in full measure
the fragrance of out-of-doors. The
French doors of the dining room
which open out on the terrace prove
of great convenience in serving the
light lunch or tea.
The living room also opens out on
. the terrace by means of double doors
which match those of the dining
room. All have large protecting blinds
which, while adding the necessary
artistic touch in the summer months,
have also a large measure of prac
tical value by acting as storm doors

CARE OF BABY TEETH DECLARED TO BE
ONE OF MOTHERS' IMPORTANT DUTIES
New York Dentists Give Advice and Aid at Health Exposition Dr. Thaddeus P. Hyatt Tells How to Prevent
Decay and Promote Growth of Healthy Molars in Young.
BY ANTOINETTE DONNELLY.
NEW YORK, Jan. 14. (Special.)
At the recent Health exposi
tion held in New York under
th auspices of the American Public
Health association and Dr. Royal S.
Copelnd, health commissioner of New
Tork city, the oral hygiene committee
of New York held an interesting
demonstration in the booth opposite
the one in which my prize-winning
fat-reducing class and 1 entertained
Ca.ily.
The committee is made up of all
the dental societies of importance in
the city the department of health,
the association for improving the
condition of the poor and the Ameri
can Red Cross.
The intense value of its propaganda
lies in getting parents interested in
the condition of the child's teeth and
applying the principles of prevention
rather than correction..
Its arguments are based on bettor
health for the grown-up, better citi
zenship, better minds, as the result of
giving a child the right to perfect
molars. This society has made an ex
haustive study of the ills which are
due to neglected teeth and mouth
such as rheumatism, neuritis, neu
ralgia, headache, heart trouble, ab
scess, skin troubles, colds, boils, nerv
ousness and it is passing the knowl
edge thus gained on to the public,
so that hereafter it will be a positive
disgrace for a grownup to go about
with poor and decayed teejh.
Mother Take Interest.
I was delightfully surprised to see
the constant stream of mothers lead
ing small children up to have their
mouths examined by the attending
dentists; at the manner in which they
usoroca aavice aDout care 01 the
child's first teeth particularly, and
about the foods which should be given
them to make strong and beautiful
molars.
One can see a better looking and
more wholesome society some few
years ahead as the result of this.
tor tne Deneiu or mothers who
have not had an opportunity to get
first-hand information on this all-important
subject I will outline it.
, Dr. Thaddeus P. Hyatt, D. D. S..
dental director of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance company and chair
man of tho oral hygiene committee,
says:
"When your child is between 5 and
6 years old the four front teeth w;il
begin to loosen and soon will fall
out. New teeth will come in to take
their places. These will remain a
lifetime If they are cared for. At
Hoout the same time four large ino
mis or grinders will start through
the gum just back of the baby teeth.
They come into places where there
are no baby teeth. Many people think
these molars are baby teeth. This is
not so. They are the most valuable
teeth a person can have and belong
to the second set, which is meant
to serve for a lifetime. As soon as
these molar teeth appear have a den
tist look at them and send the child
to the dentist or clinic every six
months to have these teeth cleaned.
Ask the dentist to put some cement

i right an ample fireplace flanked by
two small windows takes its place as
the decorative center of the room.
This room is so lair! out that there
is plenty of wall space, so that the
furniture is readily arranged to make
a decidedly comfortable and cozy liv
ing room.
As previously described, the living
room opens out on thn paved and
walled terrace bj- means of French
doors. It is also connected to the
dining room by means of a wide cased
opening which makes the two rooms
appear as one.
The location of the fireplace, which
is almost directly opposite the open
ing between the room, assists in car
rying out this effect, as it is easily
visible from almost any part of the
dining room.
Sunlight Knlers lOaxily.
Sunlight stream through a large
triple window in the opposite wall of
the dining room. .More light comes in
by way of the French doors leading
from the dining room to the terrace.
A conveniently located butler's
pantry between the dining room and
kitchen and a large kitchen, as kitch
ens go nowadays, complete our in
spection before going upstairs where
we find two bedrooms each 12 feet by
12 feet, the bathroom, and much closet
space. The location of the doors and
windows in these rooms Is such that
none will be obstructed by furniture
and yet there is room aplenty for a
dresser, dressing table, a chair, and,
say. a chif f forobe: ' '
In the basement we find a furnace
and coal room, also a laundry. The
architect has so placed the stairway,
which is the only ex't from the fur
nace room, as to lead to the main en
trance." It might be preferable to have
this stairway lead directly to the
laundry instead of the furnace room,
and have another stairway leading
from the furnace room out the back
way provided for cleanliness in re-i
j moving ashes. This could be com-
liined with an Inclosed stairway lead- i
ing down from the kitchen where I
roceries and other articles may be
received and so that the ice box could
be placed on this little inclosed porch
and be Iced from the outside. A por
tion of the larire laundry might well
lo- cut off to form a fruit or storage I leading from the laundry and kitchen,

"While the mother is nursing the
child," he advises, "she should eat
plenty of eggs, milk, corn, whole
wheat bread, spinach, apples and
grapes. The doctor will tell the
mother what is best for her' case.
Ask the doctor what food will build
the baby's bone. The same food will
build the teeth. When baby is weaned
be sure his new food contains bone
building material.
"Candy is bad for the teeth," he
adds. "Children should have plenty
of milk, cream, butter, oatmeal, nuts,
apples, prunes, currants, figs, berries,
tomatoes, spinach, cornflakes and

crusts of bread, dry bread and food
hard to chew. This will give the
teeth work and send good blood to
the inside of the tooth and' keep it
strong."
The oare should begin with the tiny
infant. Immediately teeth appear the
mother is advised to begin the clean
ing work by wrapping a soft piece
of cloth around the finger and wet
ting it with warm water and a little
cooking soda. Rub over and around
the teeth. Do this morning and at
night and when baby grows up his
teeth will be healthy and strong.
Week
Rubber nipples, pacifiers or baby
comforters are urgently advised
against in the preachings of' the oral
hygiene people. So many misshapen
mouths and even malformed noses are
due to these so-called harmless
things and to the habit of sucking the
fingers. The roof of the mouth is
pushed up, preventing the inner part
of the nose from growing properly,
which in turn hinders free breathing.
In a splendid little booklet issued
by the Metropolitan Life Insurance
company Dr. Hyatt gives further val
uable Information on the care of the
teeth: "Kvery one should use his
own toothbrush. Use a small brusn
with bristles of uneven length. A
sir all toothbrush can be moved about
In the mouth more easily than a large
ono. After using your toothbrush,
rinse it in water and hang it where
the air and sunshine can reach It. If
the bristles begin to come out, get a
new brush. A loose bristle may get
under the gum and cause pain.
In the morning brush your teeth
with clear water and clean your
tcngue. Then rinse the mouth with
lime water. The lime water should
be kept in the mouth for at least one
minute and then forced out between
the tightly closed teeth. Clean the
teeth after every meal. If possible,
and always before going to bed. Use
silk floss to remove the dirt from be
tween the teeth.
"It takes two minutes to brush th
teeth properly. Remember there are

the side next the cheek, the side near

toward the tongue and the tops by
moving the brush straight In a,nd

making two strikes of the brush at
each count, for then you will know
that the teeth have been brushed
well. The space between the teeth
must be cleand with floss. . The top

thoroughly. More than one-half of
the holes in the first molars occur on

force it back and forth between the
teeth with the aid of the tongue and
cheeks, until it foams. Then spit It
out and rinse with plain water. If
the lime water is too strong add some
plain water, but gradually learn to
use it full strength by adding less
plain water each day. You can make
the lime water at home by carefully
following these directions:
"Take a teacupful of clean, un
slaked lime, the same that builders
use. Now take a pitcher that will
hold two quarts. Put the lime in the
pitcher, add water and stir until you
fill the pitcher. You should stir
thoroughly until the water looks like
milk. Let this stand for '24 hours.
I'our off all the water, leaving the
lime at the bottom. Now fill again
with water. Stir thoroughly, and
then tie a piece of muslin over the
top, so as to keep out dust. Let this
stand for 24 hours. Carefully pour
this water off into bottles, which can
be corked. You can add water to
the lime in the pitcher until it is all
used up. For a few cents you can
make enough lime water to last the
whole family for a long time.

of fresh air, correct food, the internal
and external use of water, a certain
amount of daily exercise, and a few
details of local attention. I have a
