For Pretty Teeth.

"A pearl in the mouth is worth two on the neck," is an up to date adage which women would do well to ponder over. A woman of many charms will often fail of impression if her teeth are not delicately clean and whole. There are many factors which go to determine the soundness of one's teeth, but none more potent than that of use. Good, vigorous action is necessary in order that a supply of blood may be called to the teeth to nourish them, says Woman's Life. Give a muscle no exercise, and the veriest novice knows it will get soft. Give the teeth no work, and they become chalky and an easy prey to decay. Too much cooking of food and the use of soft prepared dishes have had much to do with getting people out of the habit of chewing. Those who live on coarse foods requiring thorough mastication have the perfect teeth of animals, white and hard and even. The blood supply is perfect on account of the stimulation given by thorough exercise of the jaws.
