The Mouth Is the front door of your face. It is the aperture to the cold storage room of your anatomy. Some mouths look like peaches and cream, and some like a hole chopped into a brick wall to admit a new door or window. The mouth is a hot bed of toothaches, the bunghole of oratory and a baby’s crowning glory. It is the crimson aisle to your liver, and nature’s apparatus for blowing out gas. It is patriotism’s fountain head, and the tool-chest for pic. Without it the politician would be a wanderer on the face of the earth, and thecornetist and the chorus girl would go down to unhonored graves. It is the grocer’s friend, the orator's pride, and the dentist’s hope. It puts some men on the rostrum and many on the stone pile. It is temptation’s lunch comer when attached to a maiden, and a tobacconist’s friend when attached to a man. Without it married life would he a perpetual summer dream and the dude would lose half of his attractions. And most of all. and greatest of all. if there were no mouths there s ' would be no goodbyes or happy greetings, no words of comfort, of hope, no laughter full of sunshine or songs full of praise ; the hired man could not be called to dinner, and no one would ask, “ Where did you get that tic ? ” v
