A poor boy sat in tho flickering
light .
O' the liUie cottage fire;
And he (ireamed that he lived in a
palace bright;
And forgot his want so dire.
For bo dreamed that hts ruled a
kingdom, 1
Ai'd had servants by the score.
He forgot »he raging storm outside,
And the snow drifts at his door.
Then the poor boy stirred and woke
from his dream,
T'ie storm rattled loud at the
door;
As oe arose In the flickering fire
light's gleam,

CLEAN TEETH
If yoi; wish to'bei attractive when
you grow up, spend thre$ or four
ininutes each day cleaning your
teeth. They have life and must be
cleansed as well as the -rest of
the body. If they aren't they will
decay and your breath will bo dis
agreeable, also you will have in
dig.siion.
You should brush your teeth up
and down, not across because if
there are particles of food between
them they must be brushed out.
This 1* the way to do it. " You
should use a tooth brush with a
tuft on each end of it, so it will
set >u, between the teeth. Use
good tooth caste or powder, or else
warm water alone.
You should go to the dentist at
l.east twice a year and have him
look at your teeth. But don't let
him pull one tooth until you have
Been another dentist, and heard
wna» he says. 1
One thing that spoils one's looks
is a midsing tooth, decayed or de
caying tooth. Remember that "A
clean tooth never decays." Have
♦his for your motto, follow it, and
thus prove it.
