Necessary Care of Teeth HOW GOSSIP BREAKS TJP WOMEN'S CLUBS. IN the current issue of Farm and Fire side Ililda Richmond writes an articlo urging tho development of clubs among farm women, but she issues tho following warning: "Only ono thing is fatal to the nappy social life of any country com munity, and that is gossip. If the ladies cannot find in the wide field of house keeping, chicken-raising, preserving, caro of children, public schools, music, art, reading, public improvements, good government, health, acwiug, entertain ing, and all other delightful household tajiks, enough material to lift the meet ings above petty personalities, then the little club, or whatever it is ealled, is doomed. Whenever gossip is allowed to creep into any organization people will begin to break up into little cliques or circles or groups, and the whole thing fails." NEW KIND OF HAIRPIN. EVERY woman knows how trouble some hairpins are how they slip out when tho wearer suddenly moves her bead. IL Jaeobson of Fort Worth, Texas, has just obtained a pat- out lor an improved hairpin, shown here. Tho pin is provided with a pair of springs that grip tho hair and make it impossible to jar out the pin. Summer Hints FOE bites apply vaseline and burnt alnm; lemon juice for bee stings; common bluing for bits of any in- j sect, or vaseline, lard and burnt alum can be applied. ' For vaseline stain, soak in cold wa ter for half an hour or longer. Then apply warm water, and finally wash is strong white soap and boiling water. If white goods, put in the sun. Cream of tartar will remove iron rust. To take iodine stainis from linen, make a thick paste of ordinary starch and oover the stains, and then apply heat either that of the Bun or stove. For earbolic acid burn apply vinegar, at once, and then make a poultice of stale bread and vinegar.' This holds good for a burn from lye. For sore feet, three parts salicylic acid powder, ten parts starch pulverized and 89 per cent of pulverized saapstone. Sift into shoes and stockings. For a anker in the mouth, two ounces honey mixed with one-half dram of powdered borax or boric acid powder. The body requires some protein and fat, and working men can use more than other people; but that does not always mean hot, heavy, 'meats and gravies. Work in a lot of substitutes these days peas, beans, cheese and eggs, with nuts, cream and oil in the salad combi nations. There are so many ways. Give the pansies and sweet peas plenty of water, but in the eool of the evening, and be sure the soil is not washed from tbeir roots. To revive house plants that are droop ing, put a tablespoon of ammonia in three quarts of water and sprinkle them freely with the mixture, both plants and soil. - Don't lie awake thinking about the vexing things that happened today and the work in store for tomorrow; sleep will solve the problems better than any amount of night thinking possibly can. t Postage stamps that have stuck to gether can easily bo separated by pass ing a moderately hot iron over them. If the night is sultry and tho little air stirring seems hot, wet a thin cloth and stretch it across the open window and tho air coming through will be eooled. Fill the house full of cool night and early morning air, then draw the shades on tho sunny sides and keep as much f the not air out as possible. PERHAPS you think that your teeth are not a conspicuous part of your final make up. If you do, you are very much mistaken. They are most valuable adjuncts to both your beauty and your health. Wo have seen more than one pretty girl smile, showing a set of ill-kept, yellow teeth, and spoil the whole effect secured by her facial beanty. If your teeth are in bad con dition, that means you will have a bad breath, and nothing can be more of fensive than this. We would not try to compete with a dentist, but there are lots of things that girls can do at home to prevent this dreaded visit to the den tist. Like everything else important, however, it takes a few moments of your time, now and then. Mothers should begin with their chil dren when they have their first set of teeth. These should be kept in good condition as long as possible. If the .teeth havo a tendency to bo brittle, be sure that is caused by some internal condition, and your physician should be consulted. Limo water used freqnontly is about as good a preventive for the breaking of young children's teeth as anything, and can be compounded at hrmo. Put a tcacnpful of clean, un packed lime in a pitcher, pouring about two quarts of water over it. Stir this ii' until it has a milky 1 ok, then let it stand until it has settled and becomes quite clear. Pour this water off and re fill the pitcher with pure water. Stir thoroughly, let it stand until it has settled again, then pouv off that water and use frequently. Give the child two oi three tablcspoonsful in milk or wa ter during tho day. Much liarm is done by the careless use of highly scontcd and injurious tooth waters and powders. There are many proprietary articles thnt are ex cellent, but there aro just as many that contain acids and gritty substances that are ruinous to the enamel of the teeth. The teeth can be kept perfectly clean by tho use of a littlo irecipitated chalk once a day, and warm limcwatcr at night. Listerino and myrrh are harmless and very effective lotions for the teeth, and can be used in plt.ee of proprietary articles whose ingredients are a mys tery. If your teeth are idt rather far apart, thus allowing particles of food to lodge between them, then use a quill tooth pick or dental floss. Needless to Bay, this must be done in the privacy of your room and not at the table. If trrtar is inclined to form at the root of your teeth, you should at lemons and acid fruits, and occasionally use mag nesia. Rinsing the mouth out with a solution of cmplor Is also beneficial. A great many foreigners found in the working class of today have exceeding ly white teeth, well preserved, and physicians say this is caused by the al most universal use of salt for cleansing teeth. This is not rccommendod for a twicoaday method, but by using it two or throo times a week groat benefit will result. It destroys many deposits that are injurious to tho teeth, and givos firmness to tho gums. Let us impress upon you tho gTeat necessity of visiting a dentist once every year. If your teeth are apt to de cay then go twico a year. Tho major ity of women wait until they have a toothache, then rush to the dentist for help. Many of those trips could be avoided and large bills kept down to a minimum by these semi-anrual visits. The dentist sees at once eome littlo de cay that is just starting, and which, if not treated, would mean the entire loss of the tooth. Onee your teeth begin to decay, then nothing but the skill of an expert will holp you, but the thing to do is to take good care of them, to prevent the decay and keep your breath sweet and fresh. The remedy of all remedies is, of course, cleanliness, and night and morning should see you with teeth woll brushed and mouth well rinsed by Bome harmless lotion. I Recipes Spinach. Clean thoroughly, cook for ten min utes in boiling salted water (one cup water to one pound spinach). Drain, chop very fine or run through the meat grinder, add one onion which has been chopped fine. Melt one tablespoon of butter, add one tablespoon flour and one cup of soup stock. Cook until smooth, add one tablespoon of grated cheese, salt and pepper and pour over chopped spinach. Serve with hard cooked eggs. Green Fea Souffle. Cook peas about done, have ready a sauce made as follows: Into a skillet put a tablespoon of butter, let melt and stir into a tablespoon of flour, add one cup of milk, and let come to a boil, pour this over the peas nnd sprinkle the top with browned bread crumbs, and let bake a few minutes. Green Fea Pudding. Cook peas tender. To each pint of cooked peas, add a cup of sweet milk, one egg, one teaspoon of sugar, and half a cup of fine bread crumbs. Mix well and bake long enough for the egg to set. Do not let bake too long or the custard part will whey. Apple Custard Fie. Grate four apples, add yolk of two eggs, saving the whites for the me ringue, one-half cup sugar, two table spoons of" cream, add nutmeg to suit taste. Bake the same as any ordinary eustard pie. When done, cover with meringue, made from the whites of tho eggs. Putin oven and brown. Baked Liver. Few people know how delirious calf's liver is when baked instead of fried. Place whatever quantity you have, in a chunk (not sliced), in a small pan with a little water and a generous lump of butter. Salt this well and baste often. When it is sufficiently done it usually shrinks to about half its origi nal size. When served hot it is de licious, but when served cold and sliced and garnished, it makes a real delicacy for supper. Any bit left over makes a nice addition to the school luncheon. Eaked Pumpkin. Peel and cut some pumpkin into dice and stew until tender, but not soft Drain and when cold place in a but tered baking dish, add half a cupful of sugar, a saltspoonful of salt and a tablespoonful of bnttor. Bake brown. Apple Cake. Cream together a half cupful of but ter and two cupfuls of sugar and beat into them a half eupful of milk and five whipped eggs. Last of all, add three cupfuls of flour into which have been sifted two small teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Bake in layers. WHen cold make the filling by heating in a double boiler a cupful of apple sauce, adding sugar to taste, and then beat ing in gradually the yolks of two eggs and the juice of a lemon. Cook, stirring for a minute, and set aside until cold before spreading on the cake. . i Wellesley College Fudge. Put a pint of cream and two cupfuls of powdered sugar in the chafing dish, and stir gently to avoid scorching un til tho mixture begins to boil. Then add one-quarter of a pound of un sweetened, grated chocolate The mix ture should just bubble over a very moderate heat for about nine minutes. , When sufficiently cooked, add an inch and a half cube of butter, stir vigor ously and beat steadily for eight min utes, adding half a pound of fresh marshmallows cut into shreds and a quarter of a pound of chopped pecan meats. Turn into a buttered pan, and as it begins to harden mark into sauarsr
