Film ruins teeth 
Film is that viscous coat you feel. It

ferments and forms acid. It holds the 
acid in contact with the teeth to cause 
decay. Millions of germs breed in it 
They, with tartar, are the chief cause 
ot pyorrhea. 
T bus most tooth troubles are now 
traced to film. No ordinary tooth paste 
effectively combats it. So, despite all 
care, tooth troubles have been constantly

The name of that tooth

concealed faucets. But remember: 
never conceal your plumbing unless a 
closet or other means exists to which 
your plumber can have access if per¬ 
chance the pipes need repair. 
The built-in faucet, gives the servants 
less to clean, for you have all the 
metal concealed in the wall box. 
There are three methods of faucet 
placing: at the top of tub—or the top 
nozzle type above the tub or the over¬ 
rim type and the bottom bell type lo¬ 
cated a few inches from the floor of the 
tub. The best are those which are not 
placed near the floor, because of the 
fact that dirty water is prone to flow 
back into the supply pipe; on the 
other hand this near-floor supply is 
silent in a small home or private bath. 
To the top nozzle type, too, can always 
be attached a shampoo house, while to 
the near floor type this cannot be done.

CLEANING 
For nickel faucets it is wisest to use 
simply a damp rag. V ou may not al¬ 
ways have a glorious sheen "but you 
will prolong the life of the nickel. 
The brass fixtures for kitchen use 
last the longest; on them any reliable 
brass polish is safe to use. 
To saye cleaning, use china fixtures. 
Enamel is good, but often chips when 
the plumber makes repairs. 
As in shoes, so in faucets, there are 
many sizes and therefore they can be 
adapted to the condition and size of 
your sink, basin, tub, etc. 
Some faucets come in combinations 
or pairs. 
It is sometimes preferable to have 
faucet combinations, for, with them you 
can temper the cold with hot or the hot 
with cold water. 
Then there is, for the cheaper bath¬ 
tub, a cock or faucet—two faucets sepa¬ 
rate yet on the same fixture. This set 
is in on top of the bath tub and is of 
the nozzle type. 
Also there is a combination bath cock 
so built that the shower bath hose at¬ 
tached can be used separately from the 
faucets themselves. This is often put 
into the maid’s bathroom. However, it 
acts perfectly and is a real comfort in 
the small home for the master’s bath 
as well. 
OUR WASTE-LINE 
The subject of waste comes as an 
ending to the faucet tale. 
Three kinds of arrangements take off 
waste water—standing waste, recessed 
or concealed and open or unconcealed, 
the familiar pipe twisted once to re¬ 
tain the water is the unconcealed ar¬ 
rangement and that type managed by a 
taucet handle above the tub is the 
recessed or concealed kind. 
The new types of the waste arrange¬ 
ments are better than the old ones, for 
the rubber padding or washer has gone 
and, instead, the tube is turned, fits 
snugly in a non-resisting, hence unleak- 
able valve seat, closing the egress of the 
water from the tub. This tube, too, in 
its construction has holes which pre¬ 
vent the overflow of the water in the 
tub or lavatory if by chance you forget 
to turn off the faucet. 
Last but not least is the old stand-by 
the chain and stopper, which effectually 
and surely retains and lets loose the 
floods of water. If you have a good 
chain and a well-made stopper, you can 
want for nothing in the waste line! 
This is a short story of a big sub¬ 
ject and my last word is that you 
should find out who is the maker of 
your faucets before you let your con¬ 
tractors complete the contract. 
The fixtures or plumbing either make 
your home a comfort or a constant 
irritation. If water we must use and 
often, let it oh let it come to us 
through the most enduringly comfort¬ 
able piping! 
All these faucets can be had in metals, 
gold, silver and these carved and elab¬ 
orate. But however precious the 
metals and carvings may be, the prin¬ 
ciples and systems are the same. 
What to Know About Wood Paneling 
(Continued from page 85) 
lar use after the castle, with its tapestry 
and arras hangings on stone walls, had 
given place to the early Tudor country 
houses, and if this were a discussion 
more historical than related to modern 
building needs, it would be interesting 
to trace the close relationship between 
furniture and interior architectural 
woodwork, beginning with the Gothic 
unity of the two, and carrying through 
the. whole Jacobean ■ period, after 
which furniture and interior architec¬ 
ture developed more independent¬ 
ly, until the Georgian period gave 
them identity. 
The execution of carved paneling in 
these old English types of linenfold, 
parchemin or Romayne, or any of their 
variants, is work for the master carver 
and cabinet-maker; plain wood panel¬ 
ing in which the general character is 
that of Jacobean English woodwork is 
well within the realm of plain carpentry 
—even of amateur carpentry granted a 
fair proficiency with tools. 
It will be seen from the diagrams re¬ 
produced that the terms used to define 
the parts of a piece of paneling are ex¬ 
tremely simple. There is the panel, the 
style (also spelled “stile”) or upright 
division between the panels, and the 
rail, or horizontal division between the 
panels. At the floor, there is the base, 
or base-board, and at the top of the 
paneling a cornice if it extends to the 
ceiling, and a “cap if the paneling is 
in the form of a wainscot. These are 
the visible parts of a piece of paneling. 
In nearly all examples of Colonial 
and Early American paneling the panel 
was beveled, and the styles and rails 
were finished on all four sides with 
moldings.. Both moldings and beveling 
held on in favor in paneling until com¬ 
paratively recently, when architectural 
adaptation began to receive more studi¬ 
ous attention from architects. 
It then became apparent that the 
most satisfying type of historic panel¬ 
ing, and the kind most adaptable for 
the creation of attractive interiors was 
that which was developed, with a num¬ 
ber of minor variations, through the 
Jacobean period, in its various phases 
of Tudor and Elizabethan.
