I John, &1ary and Jack DENTISTRY and PUBLIC HEALTH Approved by American Dental Association and the United States Public Health Service PLATTSMOUTH DENTAL SOCIETY CHATTER XL On discovering that Mr. Reynolds had trench mouth. Dr. oung im mediately asked Mrs. Reynolds and Jack to come to his office. Neither mother nor son had any symptoms of the disease. However, he advised adequate prophylactic treatment and gave thorough in structions in gum massage v.un mo toothbrush. In the meantime, and in response to Dr. Young's treat ment, the soreness and intlamation gradually left Mr. Reynolds' gums and they slowly resumed their nat ural pinkness. Jack watched this transformation with intense interest. Naturally, he isked many questions regarding the disease. One day. he brought up the subject of pyorrhea. "What is the difference." he nsk- d, "between pyorrhea and trench mouth? They both affect the gums. don't they?" "Yes." replied the dentist, "they oth affect the gums, but there is a ast difference between them. Trench mouth, or. as it is more properly termed. Vincent's infection, is caus ed by a lack of resisrance or tone in 'lie sums. This permits the invasion if the gums by two germs. Thee Terms are known as the Vincent spirochete and the fusiform bacillus. To be frank, we are not absolutely -lire whether these two germs are primary or secondary factors in the disease, but they are both always iresent in an active case of trench mouth. We term trench mouth a spe cific disease because specific germs ire always present. We can control :t by keeping the teeth clean and he gums hard and by the applica tion of certain remedies. On the con 'rary, pyorrhea is not a pecifio dis ease. It may have several different a uses. Generally speaking, we can say that an inflamatory condition of "he gums may be caused by either local or systemic conditions. This may lead to pyorrhea. The larsrest Percentage of pyorrhea cases are a used by some local irritation, such is tartar deposits about the necks if the teeth: food deposits wed-ed Hid packed in between the teeth: 11-fitting crowns and bridsrework: ;rritating. overhanging margins of fillings; the absence or loss of cer 'ain teeth; irregular or crooked eeth. and traumatic occlusion. "What is traumatic occlusion?" isked Jack.' "Traumatic bcllusion," replied the lentist. "is a term used to designate i condition in which certain teeth ome together, or occlude inharmon ously. Our jaws are so constructed hat, under normal conditions, all of nir upper and lower teetli tome to gether in exactly the right way. That is, no one tooth or no two eeth receive an excess amount of dress or strain. Sometimes one or nore teeth will shift their positions ir get out of line, so to speak. In 'hat case, they may strike their op posing teeth before they should. Thus 'he tooth will be subject to an ex--css amount of masticating stress or pounding. Irt ifime this constant nounding will cause the supporting tissue about the tooth to become ir ritated and inflamed. If the condi tion is not corrected, a pyorrhea locket will result." "What is a pyorrhea pocket?" ask ed Jack. Dr. Young laid aside his instru ments and smiled. "When you were a little fellow. Jack, I always said you could ask more questions than any boy in town, and you haven't outgrown the habit. I have another patient waiting for me now. When you come in next Wednesday, I'll .'inish telling you about pyorrhea and pyorrhea pockets."

COBB A Whole Community Implicated By IRVIN S. COBB "piIERE is a special writer on one of the New York papers who, justly or unjustly, lacks popularity with some of his office asso ciates. It is understood that he believes his confreres arc envious and cannot appreciate true ability. On the other hand, they assign very dilfeient reasons for the estimation in which they and to hear them tell it many outsiders hold the genius. One night the special writer, having finished his assignment was lolled bade in his chair, favoring the. company with his views which, as a rule, are very pronounced. Asft T From a nearby desk, an associate lifted a soured face. "Blank," he said, "I'm going to tell you something. Some morning you're going to be found dead in bed, with your throat cut from ear to ear. "And more than a million people in this town will be arrested for xhe murder!" '.American News Features, Inc.)

Parker Otte brought to the store for exhibition some bits of dirt in which there v.rs a generous sprink ling of grasshopper eggs. He also re ports many of them have already hatched out, being about a half inch in lengtn and mat tney were Hop ping about as soon as the snow and sleet of last week thawed so they could. Mr. and Mrs. Warren T. Rich ards were at Weeping Water last Wednesday, where they went to at tend the funeral cf the late Gene Moore. Jr.. who died suddenly at Palmyra last Sunday morning. There were many people at the funeral, as Mr. Moore was a very popular young man. En jo j ing Afternoon Meeting The ladies of the Wabash Kensing ton met last Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hobart Hansen, where they looked after business. Included in their discussion were plans for the beautifying of Wabash, Decorating Home Henry Frisbee has been liaving the exterior of his home painted and the interior decorated.

To Leave Soon for Far East Miss Alice Abel, who resided for many years in this vicinity and was a teacher in the rural schools, but who of late years served as a Mis sionary in China, writes from Fort Collins. Colo., where she has been visiting at the home of her parents, that she has received her passport and expects to sail from Vancouver, Washington, on May 14, for the re turn trip to China.

Vd ision and Washington officials were somewhat reluctant to give her a passport at this time. She recently visited friends relatives in this vicinity, going here to Fort Collins to visit her parents. and from with Visits Aged Mother Frank Reese was at Mound City, Mo., last week, where he went to visit his mother, who is past 9 3 years of a .re and who was sick for a time. but is now feeling much better. Mr Reese and the mother enjoyed a nice visit together. Speaking of the weather there. Mr. Reese said there were large drifts of snow at the roadside that had been pushed from the highway. At places where t lie ground was clear of snow the wheat looked even better than here. Grading Progressing Nicely The road a mile south of Wabash and running from Weeping Water directly west is a busy place these days as there are a large number of men at work there. The western portion of it leading to Alvo is com pleted but the eastern portion is be ing changed and straightened, "with a lot of grading required to a point one mile north to Wabash, thence into town and out two miles west, before it jogs back the mile to join with, that portion leading to Alvo. This detour is made because of the overhead bridge over the Missouri Pacific and the bridge over Weep ing Water creek which is very dan gerous, especially to one unacquaint ed with the conditions there. ADVISED QUOTA FILLED Communication received today in dicates the Cornhusker Boys' State quota has been filled and it will be impossible to accept further appli cations, including that of Platts mouth forwarded last week for two boys. Although this will cause some dis appointment, Plattsmouth has little to worry about over its sponsorship of boys' work and activities in gen eral. Few Legion posts over the state, even in larger cities than this can boast of sponsorship of a Boy Scout troop, a Jifnior drum corps and a Junior. baseball team. Fortunately no boys had been se lected from the student body to at tend this combined training and recreation camp, so there will be no disappointments on that score, and the different organizations that would have contributed something to the cost involved will be saved the expense. Plattsmouth will be host to Arbor Bodge district Boy Scout camporce in June, and is engaged in a cam paign to bring about organization of two more Scout troops, which after all is just about as fine youth train ing as can be secured anywhere.
