20 JUNE, 1116 The Fortune Hunter (Continued from page 13.) far In" advance of physical accom plishment. Thus the connecting link between achievement and ambition la forged, and the ever present un known holds us to strictest account ability. Primarily, I mean to deal with the broad principles and practice of den tistry in its relation to the welfare of humanity. None will question, I am sure, the Important' part dentistry plays in the theatre of business and social existence. The profession of dentistry then, should be Riven more to fortune bunting. In order that the results of its labor shall be put on a well recognized plane of- cleanliness, efficiency and durability. The physiology of dentistry must necessarily be understood In consid ering these questions, and for that reason, I shall devote a little time to the discussion of that branch of the profession. The first fundamental principle of dentistry should be the preservation wherever possible of natural condi tions of the human body, and when not possible to do so, the creation of artificial Instrumentalities that will perform the functions of nature best. Nature strives for the perfection of the human body; so, let me ask, should dentistry do less? Dr. William Tindall, Secretary of the Boar dof Commissioners for the District of Columbia, says: "Of all the diseases visited upon the children of the third and fourth generation, none brings so much 111 health as diseases of the teeth." The teeth are the Instrumentalities provided by nature for mastication, which Is the first step in the prepar ation of food for the use of the body. Unfortunately, a large percentage of people must resort to artificial means of mastication, that is. false teeth, bo that dentistry Is absolutely necessary to our physical .mental and moral welfare. It is quite impossible, of course ,to derive the full benefit of food taken unless we are first able to masticate or chew It. If the food be dumped into the stomach only par tially prepared for the Idgestive func tions, those functions are at once dis organized, and must soon give way j under the added burden of mastica tion. Failure of mastication is the source os so many of the ills of the human family, because of Its result ant effect on digestion and nutrition of the body, that It hardly seems plausible the subject has received no greater systematic and studious at tention than it has, when we consider the marked advance in commerce and Industry during the past cen tury. The proper care of the teeth Is a lesson that should be taught relig iously In the home. Quite a concert ed efort has been put on foot by the profession of dentistry to establish the teaching of oral hygiene In the public schools; and this Is a meritor ious cause. But how much more ef fective would be oral hygiene taught In the home. In many instances it would make the children responsive to school training and obviate num erous childhood ailments which so often waste the little bodies and lay the foundation for nervousness, ane mia, tonsilitis, rheumatism, not in frequently tuberculoma, and disord ers of every sort. Mastication, digestion, and nutri tion must come in sequence, and if there is failure In the first, whether due to poor teeth, Improper dentistry or some other cause, the work of the gastric juices is largely subverted, nnd the body impoverished. Too many people regard their stomachs as they do an ordinary gar bage can ;they throw Into the stom ach a piece of meat, some notato, a few vegetables both raw and cooked, pile on a piece of pie and some cheese for good measure, gulp down a cup of two or hot coffee to fill up the cracks, clamp down the lid so thwt th odors of decay cannot escape, and wait for the refuse wagon to haul the mixture awuy. The only difference between their stomachs and the gar bage can is that the food which goes into the stomach must be seasoned to fit the sense of taste and smell. while the refuse that goes into the! garbage can. whose olfactory and tympank nerves have never been edu cated, need not bear any evidence of preparation by a French Chef.

National 11 ve Stork Kirhange Han dled Subject of Great Interests to Ilanrhmen and Farmers It may surprise some, who are un familiar with the proceedings of con ventions composed of live stock com mission men, to learn that the sub jects discussed and the business transacted at the annual convention of the National Live Stock Exchange, held at Cincinnati, May 18 to 20, had to do principally with matters that affect the interests of live stock growers and shippers. This convention was pronounced by persons accustomed to attending .the gatherings of the national organ ization the best of any ever held. The repremMitatton was the most com plete, markets all the way from Port land, Oregon, to New York and from St. PhuI to St. Louis and Louisville, Ky., being represented by delegates. The meeting together of the live stock commission men from the dif ferent markets during years gone by has evidently borne fruit in the way of a better understanding so that the convention was harmonious from be ginning to end. - The most important feature fron the standpoint of the producer was the report of the trans portation committee. That commit tee has worked unceasingly to secure better railroad rates and better transports ion facilities for the live stock producers of the United States. It whs a great surprise to everyone who had not watched the work of Hi conm.iuee step by step to learn from tli' report what had actually been accomplished toward the bet terment of transportation conditions. The duties of the committee have really become so extensive that it was decided by the convention td employ a high salaried man who should be an expert in all live stock and t mnptiortation matters who shall devote nil his tine to looking after nniturs having to do with the trans portation of live stock and other features connected with the work of the National Exchange. It is pro posed to established headquarters at some central point to be decided up on later so as to facilitate the hand ling of such matters. E. L. Burke, well known cattle t f t y t f y T Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y f Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Scientific JDeetistry Is coming more and more to be recognized as an essential to good health. Many years ago, Benjamin Franklin wisely said: "Many men dig their graves with their teeth." He had reference to the manner of eating and the quality of food; but it is now definitely known that a large part of poor health ami sickness is caused by defective teeth and lack of proper attention to them. Life and health depend upon the digestion of food. Digestion depends principally upon mastication and the absence of disease germs from the mouth. The Porcelain Whole Tooth Invented by Q. V. Todd, D.D.S., and manufactured by the. Todd Dental Company, Omaha, is the solution of your tooth problems. It is already Winy; used by many leading dentists and is constantly being adopted by oiliei s upon investigation of its merits. You are invited to call at Dr. Todd's office, either to have dental wni U done, your teeth examined for defects that may affect your health, or for in formation regarding the Porcelain Whole Tooth.

Cincinnati put forth great efforts to entertain the delegates and show them a good time. There were auto excursions during which an oppor tunity was afforded delegates of vis iting the Cincinnati Stock Yards, which are the oldest in the West, and many other points of interest. There were luncheons and banquet: nnd boat rides on the river by moonlipbt. The next annual meeting of the National Live Stock Exchange ill be held in Louisville, Ky., which will give western commission men on op portunity of visiting a southern mar ket and taking note of what Is being done to develop the live stock inter ests of the South.

Continue Publicity Campaign The vigorous campaign of public ity carried on by the National Live Stock Exchange during the past year, which has shown excellent results in diminishing direct buying of live stock by the packers, will be contin ued and all the force the national body can put behind the movement is to be utilized. Producers have come to "see the light," and it was determined that more shall be turned upon the situ ation In order that the evils of the direct buying system may be plainly seen. Unbiased newsnanera. worklne In the interests of the live stock pro ducer, were warmly recommended by the National Exchange In the follow ing resolution: "Resolved, That the National Live Stock Exchange desires to express its appreciation of the cordial co-operation of the editors of the un biased live stock market and other journals that have published the articles pre pared by its publicity committee on the subject of direct country pur chasing by packers .such assistance having been invaluable in combat ting the efforts to impair competi tion at the open live stock markets of the country."

According to this classification the major prophecies are those of Isaiah, Jeremiah Ezekiel and Daniel, and the minor ones are Hosea, Joel, Amos,' Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habbakuk, Zephaniah, Hag gai, Zacharian and Malachi.
