From the opposite side of the room all Mary could see was the front and back pages of the eve ning paper above which whirled ed dies of tobacco smoke and below which protruded two long legs en cased in slippers. The evening dishes were washed, little Jack was tucked away for the night and Mary wanted a little at tention. Presently she stole softly across the living room floor and push ing the paper aside,- crawled into John's lap. "I love you, dear," she said. No re sponse. "I love you, dear," she re peated. "I love you too," said John, 'but ." "But what?" asked Mary. "But I'm reading the paper right now." Mary sat still and John con tinued to finish his news. In the meantime Mary busied herself with scrutinizing his face and hair. When he had completed his read ing Mary said "you need a hair cut; you look like a wolf." "Not a big. bad wolf, I hope," said John. "No," replied Mary, "just a shaggy, careless wolf. And another thing: I've been wanting to speak to you about this for some time. When did you last visit your dentist?" "Why bring that up?" said John. "Your teeth are almost as brown as your suit," replied Mary. "I can't tell where your pipe stops and your teeth begin. A man in your position shouldnt be so careless. When did you see Dr. Young?" "Six months ago." said John. "That would be in August," said Mary. "We spent the whole month of August on your moth er's farm." "Well, then, seven months Tgo." said John. "That would be in t. .!.. ,..,!!

Do you want me to Uell you how long it actually has been 'since you had your teeth looked at? It has been over a year." "Oh., no," said John. "I know it hasn't been that long." "Yes. it has." replied Mary. "I asked Dr. Young to day and he looked up. your record card. It has been almost fourteen months. Xo wonder your teeth are stained. Today was my first chance to have my mouth examined since baby was horn." - - r "Find , anything?' t ?Johru "Xo," answered Mary, "Dr. Young cleaned thent hut found no cavities. My mouth is in good shape. Now yours must be the same way. Re member you'must set an example for your son." So John went to see the dentist. Dr. Young cleaned his teeth thor oughly. With his hand instruments he removed all the calcareous de posits from about the necks of his teeth, and then he brushed and pol ished them until the last of the stains were removed. "Gee," said John, "don't toll me that is food that you are scraping off my teeth." "Xo." replied Dr. Young, "not entirely, although there are some food particles in it. We call this substance calcareous deposits. The common name is tartar. It is made up mostly of lime salts deposit ed upon the teeth from the "saliva. Naturally, some food becomes mixed with these deposits and clings to the teeth. "Saliva is manufactured from three sets of glands the sublingual, sub maxillary and parotid. The parotid gland is the one that swells up when you get the mumps. It empties its saliva into the mouth through an opening near the upper molars, "The submaxillary and sublingual glands empty their saliva into the mouth under the tongue. That is why most tartar is found on the inside surfaces of the lower incisors or front teeth and the cheek surfaces of the molar teeth. "Tartar is harmful. Its sharp edges break the gum tissue and cause it to bleed. In time it may push the gums away from the roots- of the teeth and cause them to berome loose in their sockets. If tartar deposits are not removed they may cause pyorrhea. You ai'e fortunate because you have good teeth.
