PIATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOUBNAL
LOOKING IN ON THE
Famous Dionne Quins
Copyrighted article by the
Quaker Oats -Company
World Showers Gifts on Quins
The "famous five," the Dionne ba
bies are constantly receiving gifts.
Last Christmas they received hun
dieds of gifts, as usual, but for them
"Christmas" continues throughout
the year, and especially during the
summer season when thousands of
American tourists find their way to
North Bay and Callander, thence out
the new road that has been built to
the DaFoe nursery and hospital.
Among other things, they receive
many mechanical toys which are
usually stored away until the Quins
are older. One of the most unusual
gifts which the world's sweethearts
have received since their birth was
a gift sent from Ireland, five bundles
of real Irish shamrocks. An unusual
"for life" gift was a pledge by an
association to keep the Quintuplets
provided with shoes as long as they
live. A large doll house completely
furnished was sent from Iowa and
among other gifts there have been
sets of dishes, a chest of silverware,
a player piano, five pairs of snow
shoes, bonnets, a Great Dane watch
dog, bathrobes and numerous books.
The books favored by the Quin's ad
visers are those with washable covers
which can be sterilized frequently.
These gifts are all individual trib
utes to the world's most famous bab
ies, five living examples of what child
hygiene, can do when given a chance.
Food, of course, has been very im
portant in the development of these
youngsters whose total weight at
birth was a little over ten pounds.
Daily their cereal i8 oatmeal, which
i3 rich in Vitamin B for keeping fit.
Medical authorities and food editors
recognize Vitamin B as nature's best
defense against those childhood dan
gers, nervousness, constipation and
poor appetite due to lack of that vit
amin in the diet. And, too, oatmeal
with milk is rich in muscle-building
protein, body-building miperals and
energy-making carbohydrates. And
so. every day the famous Dionne
Quins have Quaker Oats. And every
year an admiring world showers gifts
on them in tribute to their good
health.
(Other interesting stories of the
life of the Quins will be published
from time to time).
refreshments were served. 'Next meet
ing will be held August 10th with
Mrs. Leo Peters and Mrs. William
Renwanz serving.

CHAPTER XXIV
"Jack brought home a notice from
school today," said Mrs. Reynolds to
her husband as they were eating din
ner. John looked worried. "Is that so."
he said. "What mischief has the
little rascal been into now?"
"Oh, it wasn't that kind of a
note," replied his wife. "It was
about his teeth. The school dentist
examined the children's teeth yes
terday and Jack's teeth were per
fect." "They should be," replied John,
"you certainly look after them well
enough. Have you taken Jack to
Dr. Young lately?"
Not since his sixth birthday,"
answered Mary. "I remember the
last time Dr. Young looked at Jack's
teeth he told me to bring him back
in three months as he was about
ready to cut his sixth-year molars.
However, it completely slipped my
mind until I received this note from
the school dentist. I think I'll have
Dr. Young look at them this week.
Maybe I can get Mrs. White and
Bobby to go with me."
A few days later found both Mrs.
Reynolds and Mrs. White and their
two sons in Dr. Young's office.
"Well, Mrs. Reynolds," said the
dentist after looking at Jack's rec
ord card, "I wish the mothers of all
my child patients were as punctual
as you are. It has been three months
to the day since I last saw Jack. At
that time, he was about due to cut
his sixth-vear molars, and I want to
inspect them as soon as they come
in."
"That is why we're here. Doctor,"
reDlied Mrs. Reynolds. "The school
dentist said both Jack and Bobby
were cutting their sixth-year molars
and suggested that we have them
pxamined."
"Fine." said Dr. Young. "I ll be
glad to look at thein. Turning to
the boys, he asked, "Who wants to
be first?"
"I." cried Jack as he slipped into
the chair.
"Well." said the dentist, after a
few moments' inspection. "Jack's
sixth-year molars are just beginning
to come in. His two lower ones are
partly through the gums, his uppers
are still unerupted. Bring him back
in three months. By that time I'm
sure they will be completely erupt
ed and I will be able to examine
them thoroughly."
Jack stepped out of the chair and
Bobby took his place. One glance re
vealed that all of Bobby's sixth-year
molars were in place. Dr. Young ex
amined them very carefully and then
turning to Mrs. White, he said: "The
school dentist has done us all a great
favor. If you hadn't received his
note, you probably would not have
brought Bobby to me at this time.
Bobby has all four of his new mol
ars, but both lower ones are defec
tive. I'll be able to repair the de
fects very easily. Had you delayed
several months before bringing
Bobby .to me, they might have be
come so extensively decayed that it
would have been quite a job to save
them. I would feel terrible if Bobby
lost any of his sixth-year molars as
they are the most important teeth
in his mouth."

Sheriff Homer Sylvester and
brother, Cass Sylvester, were at Eagle
