In the ape, the negro, and the white man, brain and teeth are Inversely proportional to efficiency. Increase of cunning has reduced the work of the teeth, and the demand of the brain for blood has starved the former; disorders of digestion show that the balance is unsatisfactory.

A better thing than tooth powder to cleanse and whiten the teeth, remove tartar and prevent decay Is a preparation called Paxtlne Antiseptic. At druggists, 25c a box or sent postpaid on receipt of price by The Paxton Toilet Co., Boston, Mass.
