John relaxed comfortably in his
easy chair. 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

your vacation. 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. You won't be

Visitors at the Farm Bureau office
last Friday, were amazed to see and
hear thirty-five or forty grown up
men and women skipping around the
room and merrily singing such tunes
as, "Where, Oh Where is Sweet Little
Nellie." Their curiosity was satis
fied when it was explained that the
group consisted of recreation leaders
from various clubs over the county
gathered for a recreation school con
ducted by Ralph D. Copenhaver, spec
ialist in community organization at
the college of agriculture.
What fun every one had, playing
games, trying the tongue twisters,
working out the brain teasers with
paper and pencil, and in dramatizing
short skits and stunts. There were
no-dull moments from 9:30 in the
morning until four o'clock in the aft

group.

ities discussed during the afternoon
Mr. Copenhaver displayed a part of
his collection of over two thousand
pencils, which has been his hobby the
past eight months. Some of those in
the group added their pencils, to his
collection. 'Cthe"r hobby collections
brought by the recreation leaders
consisted of pennies, nickels, safety
matches, toy furniture, miniature
dogs. etc. The discussion brought out
that every one has a hobby of some
kind, but oftentimes they do not
recognize it as such.
INSTALL NEW SIGN
From Monday's Iaily
This afternoon a large and newest
type Neon sign was placed in front
of the Sharpnaek liquor store on
North Fifth street. The sign is one

make a very nice addition to the ap
pearance of that section of the city.
With the new sign to add to the gen
eral appearance of the exterior, the
store will be one of the most attrac
tive in the city. Fred and "Shotgun"
both are well pleased with the new
sign.

ANNOUNCE BUICK DEALERS
Announcement was made today
by V. F. Hustader, general sales
manager of the Buick Division ot
General Motors Sales Corporation, of
the appointment of the Rosen Auto
Company as Buick dealers in Platta
mouth.
Rosen Auto Company will handle
the complete line of 1037 Buick
cars, consisting of the Buick Series
40 Special, the Series 60 Century,
the Series 80 Roadmaster and the
Series 00 Limited. A total of twenty-two
models arc listed, ranging in
price from $7C5 to $1,995 at the
."actory.
All are powered by valve-in-head,
straight eight engines of Buick de
sign, the type of engine the Buick
division has used and developed ex
elusively throughout its manufac
turing history.
These valve - in - head, straight
eights, according to Buick engineers,
are more efficient and economical
than engines of other designs, and
because of their cool running char
acteristics and other features of de
sign, are more rugged, dependable
and long-lived.
Sealed chassis, that keeps out
dirt, water and other foreign mat
ter from all moving parts, the fam
ous Buick torque tube drive, luu:e
action front wheels, hydraulic brakes
and streamlined bodies by Fisher
with "Unisteel" turret top3 and no
draft ventilation, are among the
standard features of tfie 1937 Buick
models.
Complete sales and service facili
ties will be maintained by the Platts
mouth dealer which will serve j
lnrge potential market for new
Buieks in this territory as well as
the needs of the many owners who
