EW parents fully realize that the health, beauty and happiness of their children depend largely upon the watchful care given them during their childhood days. Nevertheless it is a fact, and If each child waa intelligently studied and treated accordingly we would soon have stronger men and women.

Nothing is more Important to a child's physical well-being than proper digestion and assimilation of food, and order that this may take place, good teeth are essential.

Digestion begins In the mouth with the mastication of the food, nn/i in order to masticate the food sufficiently to derive benefit, good teeth are necessary. Hence, the care of the teeth should be one of the first considerations the mother should give the child.

As the teeth grow they should watched closely and brushed each night and morning. Should the first teeth show signs of decay, the child should be taken to a dentist for advice. Brown bread should be given children. They ^^reautre it f0r the formation of bones and teeth, as it contains phosphates of wheat.

In early childhood the teeth should be cleaned with a good dental preparation or castile soap, using a cloth or soft sponge to apply same. The bristles of an ordinary brush are too stiff and apt to Injure the delicate gums.

When the second teeth begin to appear they should be watched closely. If thay grow evenly, do not disturb them Imt If they are irregular, put them straight every day by gentle pressure.

UMMBR was a joyous time but now It is past. The delights of cooler weather, or crisp days and cold nights are at hand. Among all who enjoy the prospect perhaps no other person can be said to more keenly await the oncoming season than that favored and highly fortunate individual which it has become the custom to call, the debutante.

Who does not envy her, this comely young woman whose eyes dance and sparkle as she thinks of all that Is In store for her. She would stand on tiptoe, if she could, and peep over the top of the baffling everyday present into the enchanted realm of the future where the not impossible Prince Charming awaits her coming.

In her mind is one mad jumble of such things as dances and matinees, teas, bonbons, posies, ribbons, favors, new gowns, bewildering hats, fairy slippers, cobweb silk hose, gloves, jewels, airy nothings, vows of love, sighs and dreams, soft music, softer glances, stolen, hand clasps and Heaven only knows what else of all the medley of youth and life and pleasure.

She is ready, nay, she is thirsty for the fray. Like a mettlesome thoroughbred who longs to be off, who dances this way and that, vibrant with life and nervous energy, this young girlish thoroughbred tosses her head, pats her slender foot, can indeed but scarcely wait for the Intervening days to go by so that the enchanted time of her debut

the die is cast, in common parlance and to use a phrase of one not yet forgotten by the great American populace, her hat Is in the ring.

She is at last cut loose from the safe moorings of childhood into the troubled waters of young womanhood and those that love her breathe fervent dally prayers that good fortune shall attend her and bring her to some favored and peaceful port of the right kind of marrlag«.

She has indeed many friends, confidants and counselors. Notwithstanding all of these, she has a mind of her own and pretty generally follows Its mandates rather than the words of older. wiser ones.

She seeks to be "differently" dressed, rather than a mere mannequin of fashion. She chooses her hats with an eye to her own individual charm. She takes care, among all of her pleasures to look well after that which might be called her capital, e, her good looks, both of face or figure.

To-day's young woman is generally a pretty healthy specimen, thanks to the many outdoor games and sports In which she may Indulge. Her figure, then, Is at least that of firm, strong, health rather than of that artificial sort which once was considered entirely beautiful.

lowed to go unattended the trouble multiplies. When one advances in life one of the first signs of wearing out is the decay of the teeth. The complete breaking up of solid food, and its thorough mixture with saliva, is indispensable to solution in the stomach and intestines, upon which our vigor largely depends. Hence, it is well worth while to avail oneself of the skill and ingenuity of the dental specialists to prolong the life of the teeth.

Too often it happens ttiat the debutante is not wise in this respect. Late hours, refreshments at all hours, a great amount of nervous excitement—all do their work and some fine day our young lady awakes with a horrid start to the knowledge that her good complexion has vanished, goodness only knows where, and she is left with a skin dotted with blackheads, punctured here and there with small pimples, a generally sallow or pale appearance, lines around and under the eyes.

What an outcry is there, my countrymen! And straightaway heroic measures are resorted to, to atone for past thoughtlessness and neglect.

sleep adds no color to the Hps nor brightness to the eye—and bearing this in mind, the wise debutante will take pains to catch up, as the sa ing goes, or to make up arrears after a night or two when the sleeping hours were few. She had indeed better spend a whole day in bed once a week if lost sleep can be made up in no other way. Such a twenty-four hours of rest will work wonders as a beautifying agent.

Sometimes the rebel stomach takes its revenge by causing a disfiguring cold sore or fever blister to appear upon some portion of the lip.

To crack the enamel is not simply to make a surface break. Each tooth is a mass of sensitive pulp, having a living nerve and covered by a hard and thin coat of enamel. The saliva gets through this tiny fissure and is absorbed by the

^OES your child, and do you, drink enough water? It should be known that water Is the second great necessity for human existence, the first being air. It is estimated that man can live without air from two to ten minutes without water for three to five days without food ten to twenty days. Just how much water each one should consume is hard to determine, but a healthy individual requires from three to six pints of water daily.

Teach the children to drink water Instead of visiting the soda fountain each time they feel thirsty. Any pure water is healthy. The Idea that the only place to obtain benefit from drinking water Is to visit some famous "spa" is preposterous. Seek the advice of an analytic chemist and no doubt he will Inform you that your present water supply Is perfectly healthy and contains all sorts of minerals, and if he gave you a list that was written out at full length It would inspire you with the deepest respect for the water which you have despised. ...

Good results may be secured from sipping water in fact, I have found many cases where drinking rapidly caused a sick feeling. It may also be found that where one has not been accustomed to drinking water early in the morning that hot water will agree better than cold.

Drinking a glass of water a half to three-quarters of an hour before eaoh meal will rinse out the stomach and better prepare It to receive the food to follow. Then between meals drink water, from one to two glasses. Nature's demands for either food or water are similar, and to give the stomach food each time one feels the sensation of hunger is often the cause of chronic stomach trouble.

Children should not be made to sit still long at a time. If they are kept long in one place they will fidget, move restlessly from side to side and take attitudes which may make them grow crooked. Neither should they be allowed to sit on narrow forms or seats without proper support for the back.

Repose is necessary—especially after each meal—to aid digestion, and children should be encouraged to rest by lying back in a suitable chair this will often work wonders in curing or dhecking a tendency to round shoulders and weakness of the spine.

It Is natural to relish the cup of hot liquid, when cold weather is here. It is natural to enjoy something Ice-cold when one is much heated from dancing, or some other exercise. If these things must be taken surely one should try to take them sparingly, if sweets are offered, the very little bit |is alwa-s better in every way than the generous indulgence in them.

girls instinctively seem to know how to take care of thar complexions, others do not. Some. Indeed, are reckless and do not cars, deeming it too much trouble to be hampered by the thought of carefulness. Nevertheless the debutante who wishes to retain all of that charm of youth which is In no other way, better expressed than in a good complexion, will not disdain to observe that little ounce of prevention which is worth so much more than the tardy pound of cure. She will do all that she can to preserve the smoothness and lovely color of her skin and if she finds herself not able to thetask she will Indeed take advice or secure the services of any of the excellent experts which nowadays are tj be found, who can assist her in the work of preserving and maintaining her facial beauty,

Chamoise Treatment THE

If more convenient, or any good an Acleansing skin food. This Is spread upon the face and while moist It Is rubbed oft with a prepared chamois leather.

To prepare the leather take a strip about eight inches wide and 18 Inches long and wet It well with warm water. Wring It out, and while it Is still moist rub soap Into It, using the best toilet variety. Bub the whole chaipols well with the soap until it Is lathery, then hang it up to dry, when it will be soft and fine and ready for use upon the skin.

The way to polish the face with a chamois leather closely resembles the I polishing of the toe of a shoe. The chamois leather Is taken by its ends and seesawed across the face, using as much force as possible. By this vigorous exercise the skin is made fine, clean and soft.

A powerful factor in treating the complexion is the collar. If It is worn loose the face will be much clearer In tone than if it is worn tight. A tight collar will make the veins in the neck swell and will redden the nose. Somen times the mere loosening of the collar will change a poor skin Into a good one.

A remedy that is severe but effective in certain cases of duet-covered com plexions consists of a cut lime squeezed Into half a cupful of water. Half a

teaspoonful of borax Is added to this, and the whole is rubbed upon the face, only to be mopped oft immediately with the softest of cold cream. :*s &'
