Some women who work about their own homes neglect their persmuil ab- pearance, one might say. shumtfully. l' is at least a pitiable thing to see A woman grow so absolutely careless (I the love and respect of those around her. Many a graceful young girl, with good figme and pretty face. after serv- mL’ 8n aj'iprtniiCcship for a few years following her marriage at housework. develops into a tousle-headed, slatlcrnly matron. Women are by nature proud creatures. They want to be loved, and they like to be admired. There must be some good, some, excellent reason for this common metamorphosis of wo- men after entering the duties of a home. There is a great deal of current in- formation to the effect that housework and the common duties of life may be reduced to mere child‘s play, or simply (I butterfly existence. However, it is customary yet among those whose per- sonal equation has practical work in this line for its equivalent. to refer to housework as drudgery, and the routine duties attendant upon the care of a household, no matter how trivial, are generally regarded as arduous. An on- locker often marvels at this, especially one of the male persuasion, since the preparation of dainty meals and the whisking around of dust brush or cloth in tidying up rooms bears to him but small suggestion of labor. Well, like all questions, this one has two sides to It Undoubtedly a great deal that is ob- jectionable in housework wears more upon the mental than upon the physical condition of women. In the first place. very few women are born housekeepers, and know just how to manage and sys- tematize things to make them easy. Very few women have the knack of being daintin and tidily dressed when about their work. Some being clumsy and awkward, soil and fear their clothing, while others never find time to devote to their toilet. No one realizm more than the woman herself, when she appears before her family and friends attired in unfit and unbecoming old clothes, the misery of it One reads in the magazines and papers just how to look well under all circumstances, but practizally, it is an- other story. Everybody knows how step by step a woman grows careless of herself if she finds it necessary to do for others. Besides lack of time there is frequently lack of funds, and an un- selfish woman supplies her family’s needs before her own are thought of. Many times the realization that she is looking like a fright tries a woman’s nerves to the extent of irritability. Sen- sttive women often become nardened to the amenities of life through a con- stant neglect of person. A woman drifts into this slipshod way of living before she realizes it. Her first intimation of the change may be when her husband looks askance. and with a perturbed perplexed manner, refers casually td ner tousled hair. A man always thinks a woman is looking well when her hair is neatly and becomineg arranged. A slight allusion to her tout ensemble ma occasion a serious outbreak on the part of a woman who possesses nerves and may end in a copious supply of tears. Women are much alike, take them the world over. Henceforth there is usuallv nothing further to call to mind the fact that. the family housekeeper is rapidly developing into slatternly ways, until a stranger appears unannounced and un- expected. Then the extreme mortifica- tion is keener than at first. Lines and wrinkles are added to faces through the unfortunate way in which some women carry their responsibilities around with them at all times. They take them to bed at night, and get up with them still burdcning their shoul- ders in the morning. Did you ever no- tice that faraway preoccupied air tnat many women posstss even when one endeavors to enter into conversation with them upon most entertaining top- ics? You see they are wholly taken up with the cares of to-morrow or next day if not with these of to-day. It may be they are wondering if it will rain on their washâ€"day, or planning how to make a draw for one of the children, or making out a market list for to-mor- row. The habit of dwelling on these things has become so engrossing that it fills up their lives to the exclusion of everything else. They are narrow-2d down to a routine of thought and pur- pose that completely possesses them. Nt. woman is satisfied with this. since («he understands that she is missing the best in life. She blames all upon her environment (which means her- house- work), over which she seems to exert little or no control or sway. She grows crabme and indifferent. Sweet faced girls we find developing into garrulous, hard-faced women. life seems to 10st} jtgiCOIOI‘ and romance for them. Maybe this View is old-fashioned. Of course modern ways and conveniences and club methods have brought forth a broader outlook and a different view- point for women. but woman has not changed much after all. We find the same careâ€"worn, (wer-bniwlened class of women amongr housekeepers as of old. I! is the mental wear and the nervous dissatisfaction over her narrow. uncon- genial life that tells upon most women. The (bit) woman has thei-rics, but the practical worker has nothing but rx~ pet-fence. She has no club. and very little sympathy or companionship. Her life is efuil of dull work. it will take many generations of training schools y I ly yalnaole acquisitions to a young wo- man taking upon herself the care of a bouscboll. if more women understood the >l‘ rnrr facts of existence there would hf, [C\\yp[‘ disappointed faces and cure- ttss, indifferent women after life's work had begun.

Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills Cure Obsfinate Indigestion After Other Medicines Fall. “When I was first troubled with indi- gestion I did not botner with it; I thought it would pass away naturally. But instead of doing so it developed in- to a painful chronic affection, which in spite of all i did grew worse and worse until I had abandoned all hopes of ever getting relief.” These words of Mrs. Chas. McKay, of Norwood, N. 8., should serve as a warning to all who suffer distress after meals,. with palpitation, drowsiness and loss of appetiteâ€"early warning of a more serious trouble to follow. “1 used to rise in the morning,"said Mrs. McKay, “feeling no better for a night’s rest. I rapidly lost flesh and after even the most frugal meal 1 ul- suffcred severe pains in my stomach. I cut my meals down to a few mouthfuls, but even then every morsei of food caused agony, my di- gestion was so weak. Some daysVI could scarcely drag myself about the house, and I was never free from sharp piercing pains in the back and chest. I grew so bad that I had to limit my diet to milk and soda water, and even this caused severe suffering. in vain I sought reliefâ€"all medicines I took seem- ed Useless. But in the darkest hour of my suffering help came. While read- ing a newspaper i came across a cure that was quite similar to my own case, wrought by the use of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. i thought if another person had been cured by these pills of such suffering as I was experiencing, surely there was hope for me, and I at once sent to the druggist for a supply if these pills. The first indication that the pills were helping me was the disap- pearance of the feeling of oppression. Then I began to fake solid food with but little feeling of distress. i still conâ€" tinued taking the pills with an improve ment every day. until I could digest all kinds of food without the least trouble or distrc-s.

I‘AI’ICR ON THIS IM- PORTANT MAT’I‘EII. Some “'tiich \‘l'ouid Do Well to [Iced and Act l'pon. Instructions Everyone An interesting paper was read re- cendy by Dr. (iowun, at at meeting cf thi Woman‘s institute in Sinicoc floun- ty. It was published in the Dominion ‘Dental Journal, and contains so much good (lLlYlL’O that its publication is though: desirable. Dr. flowon said: Decay of the teeth will not occur if they are lwpt entirely ctiau. Therefore, the. first. thing neces- sary in the cure of teeth is cleanliness. l-Zat food that requires vigorous chew- ing. and clean the spaces between the teeth w 'b quill toothpick after every meal. Use tooth lvrush and clean water at least once a day. or as often as you wah your face. Preferably. the brush and wattr should be used after every meal. Hold the brush lightly between thumb and tips of first and second fins gers. to allow a rapid yet gentle action of the bristles upon all surfaces of the teeth and to prevent injury to the gums and delicate lining of the month. Learn so to use the brush that it will clean ah the surfaces of all the, teethâ€"upper and lowerâ€"inner as well as outer sides, ard the spaces between. Use a large bowl of water. or better, a stream as from a tap. holding your face close over it: keen the brush as wet as you can by frequent dipping, and allow the.ex- cess of water to run out of the mouth while brushing. Rinse with A GLASS OF WATER ’l‘O FINISH. Except when prescxibed by a dentist, 11:0 no dings, powders, dentifrices or soaps. and avoid all nosfrums sold for the teeth. They are mostly injurious. \Nater costs you nothing and is far bet- ter. However, if the teeth becomedis- colored, the wet brush touched to dry powdered pumice stone will take up enough to perfectly polish the surfaces of the teeth when properly applied. Frequently examine your teeth in a small docking-glass. Get acquainted with them. And once a year, if you are under thirty, have them examined by a dentist Children‘s teeth should be examined oftener. At the age of three years, a child has twenty temporary teeth. About the sixth year permanent teeth appear. The first permanent grinders appear behind the temporary ones several years before the latter are lost. This occurs gener- ally between the ages of six and seven, and from this time until the age of twelve the child will have twenty-four teeth. During this period the mouth undergoes the greatest changes and should be frequently examined. Parents often do not know that a child has permanent grinders at this time, and so neglect to have them attended to un- til toothache begins. In this case, seri- ous trouble and loss of the teeth may follow. if, when they begin to decay, the teeth are repaired by filling, the pain. time and expense of the operation will be much less than if delayed until the cavities are large, and, besides, the child will generally submit to it Wil- lingly, whereas if delayed until disease and pain compel the extraction of a tooth, the child will forever afterwards dread dental operations. And this may defeat further attempts to SAVE HIS DECAYING TEETH. Allow no one but a qualified dentist to‘extract 3r otherwise meddle with the teeth of a child, for no one else is com- petent to judge what ought to be done. Far-reaching injury may result from the ill-advised extraction of a child's tooth; so what nature, the child, or yourself cannot do, refer to the man whose special knowledge enables him to set and do what is best, and to instruct the child in how to clean and examine his own teeth as well. For lack of acquaintance with their teeth young people often suffer decay to proceed unnoticed until pain warns them that something is wrong. The use of toothpick and glass might, in most cases, enable them to find cavities before decay has gone so deep as to cause toothache. But if toothache lia~ begun, proper treatment and filling will be the remedy. More time and work will be required, however, for which a larger fee must be paid. When a cavity is found or suspected. have it attended to without delay. The damage should be repaired, decay stop- pcd, and so far as possible, prevented from beginning again, by filling. When properly done, filling is a sucâ€" cess in' preventing decay. suffering and loss. On the other hand, such work. badly done for lack of knowledge, skill. or honesty, is worse than useless. for it destroys people's confidence in filling operations, and leads to loss of teeth in whole families. The quality and value of a dental operation depend in the knowledge, skill and honesty of the man who performs it. By all means preserve teeth. They are essential to health. beauty, convenience and the voice. if this advice is too late for you. see that your children have the benefit of it. and. for them. never contemplate arti- ficial teeth. Old people, whose teeth (Ire already gone. have no other remedy. For them great skill must be ust to make artificial teeth satisfactory. and MT!) then they are almost as far short of perfflrtlt‘dl as are GLASS EYES AND WOODEN LEOS‘.

At all grooers. do not think you can buy a set of teeth as you do a set of dishes, not caring who makes them. You will be the stif- ferer if you try it. Always keep artifi- cial teeth clean. Use brush and water on them every day and do not wear them at night. Your mouth needs to be rid of the plate at night as your feet need to be rid of shoes. In consulting n dentist, remember el- wnys that his judgment and advice is what you need most. Do not dictate. For you are no better prepared to die- tate to a dentist than you are to a law- yer or a physician. if you have no con- fidence in his knowledge of dentistry, go to someone else. If practicing properly, a dentist has nc goods to sell, no “prices”‘ to quote, and nothing to advertise. His business is to render professional service by means of special knowledge and skill for his patients welfare. For this he collects a fee proportioned to the extent, difficulty, importance, etc, of the service rendered. He instructs his patients so far as possible in means to prevent suf- fering and loss, and takes a charitable view of human weaknesses and a sym- pathetic interest in relieving pain. The teeth are the most prominent fea- ture of the human face. No other fea- tureâ€"not even the tongueâ€"tells so long a story in so short a time. This story is pointed as to the education, intelligence, cleanliness, good sense, taste, style, social position. and general character of the person whose teeth you see.

Pipe-smoking as an art was exempli- fied by a most novel competition held at the Brewers & Allied Tradcs’ Exhibition at Islington, London, England, rc- ccntly. Although such competitions have been held in Germany, this is the first in England. The brewers believe the art has been long enough obscured by music. painting and literature and so will give it in future a place On the ladder. to fame. It is contended that a man who can keep his pipe going for half an hour with one lighting is an artist. He is usually an lrish laborer, a stolid German or an English navvy. The prizes were nine in number. The conditions were as follows: "Bring your own pipes. Lady smokers will not be barred. Tobaccoâ€"one- eighth of an ounce of Virginiaâ€"will be provided. Pipes will be inspected by the judges before filling. Pipes must be filled once only. Forty seconds will be allowed for lighting. No relighting permitted. The smoker who makes his tobacco last the longest will be the champion pipe smoker of England. Weingott, a well-known pipeâ€"maker of England, interviewed, offered this advice to the competitors: “The man who wants to win mus' have a large briar pipe of respectabl age. The inside dimensions of tin bowl should be 1% inches in depth by seven-eighths of an inch in diameter. this will hold comfortably the amoun‘ of tobacco allowed and any expert pipt‘ smoker would be able to keep it aligh for at least half an hour.” The world’s record is held by a Sfll‘ sage manufacturer in Berlin who la.c summer kept his pipe going in tli national pipe race for a few minute over an hour. @Qfi90¢@¢@¢@0@¢#@¢0.

To prevent cake from sticking to tins when baked, first grease tins, then fiour them, lightly beating out all loose flour, leaving only what clings to the grease, thus doing away with the old form of lining with paper. A narrow strip of muslin pinned around a cake will prevent the icing from dripping down the sides, as it too often does. After the icing nardens the muslin may be removed without injury to the appearance of the cake. A good way to clean dirty pails, or enamelled baths, is to make a pad of newspaper and pour on a tablespoonful of paraffin oil and shake a little brick- dust on the article to be cleaned. Rub well, and the grease and dirt will come off like magic. Use one or two more pieces of clean paper and the articles will appear just like new with very lit- tle trouble. ENTHUSIASTIC MOTHERS. When mothers become enthusiastic over a medicine for little ones, it is safe to say that it has high merit. Every mother who has used Baby’s Own Tab- lets speaks strongly in praise of them. and tells every other mother how much good they have done her children. Mrs.._ Alfred Marcouse, St. Charles, Que.,,‘ says: “1 strongly advise every mother- to keep Baby's Own Tablets in the house always. I have used them for teething troubles, colic and other ills. of childhood and found them the most satisfactory medicine I ever tried." These Tablets are guaranteed to contain no poisonous opiate and no harmful drug. They are equally good for the new born baby or the well grown child, and are a sure cure for all their minor ailments.
