The teeth next claim your attention. There is nothing more disgusting
than foul breath, which comes frequently from neglected teeth. Use a
soft toothbrush. Avoid patent tooth washes and lotions. An excellent
tooth powder is made of two thirds French chalk, one third orris root,
and a pinch of myrrh. Any chemist will put this up for fifteen cents.
Tepid and not cold water should be used. In rinsing the mouth a drop or
two of listerine added to the water is excellent. Teeth should be
brushed at least twice a day--morning and evening. Never use soap on
your toothbrush. Get a spool of dental silk--it will cost you eight
cents--and draw the thread between your teeth before you retire, so as
to remove any substance which might have got into a crevice. And, above
all, have your teeth examined carefully by a good dentist at least twice
a year.

See that your toothbrush is sweet and clean, and place it handle down in
the tooth mug.

The hands should be well washed and dried, tepid water, scentless soap,
and a smooth towel being used. The nails should have a vigorous rubbing
with a good nailbrush in the morning before your meals and before you go
to bed at night. The nail file and nail scissors must be used as often
as possible. Remember, dirty finger nails betray the vulgar and the
unkempt. A man with dirty hands is impossible.

The nails should not be pointed, but well rounded and kept free of bits
of callous skin around the base, called "hangnails." Finger nails should
be kept short, just a bit beyond the fleshy tip of the finger.

The nails of the toes should be kept as carefully as those of the hands.
In summer a little talcum powder on the feet will prevent the odor of
perspiration.

The fashions for parting the hair change with the times. At present it
is the direct part in the middle which is most fashionable. Very young
men wear their hair unusually long, but this fad is uncleanly. The hair
should be cut at least once a month, and a glimpse of the skin of the
neck should always intervene between the roots and the collar.

Pomatums and greases and scents of all kinds are sticky and injurious.
If you suffer with dryness of the scalp rub a little vaseline into it
occasionally. Washings with tar soap or with a little alcohol and
rosemary are beneficial. The scalp should be well brushed with
moderately firm but not hard bristles. The best brushes are those
without handles, known as army and na
