Dr. H. C. Sex ton of Shclbyvtlle. Ind.. at a meeting of the Indiana I*«nfal association, delivered an inter cscing address in which he deplored this habit, and advisvd that a national movement should be or* nized to be known as ‘he 'chewing Bio\(ruent." He said: ‘ The education of the avr: man. woman and child has been sadly negle< *ed. They have not been taught to use their teeth. When we belt our food we ignore one o' 'he most Important ferments, ptyalin, in our saliva, that has much to do in the pr< • t-.- of digestion. Hut the American habit is to spit, and Americans are the greatest spit 'd- *»f the world.

What a foolish, disgust ing i abi* it is and more than foolish, more than disgusting. It Is killing In its hurtfulness It has been stated that fully 75 per cent, of the people of this country bolt their food. 1 "..is jabit is usually acquired during the early years of childhood and carried on during one’s whole life. It should be the duty of all parents to make •heir children eat slowly and chew their food properly. Nature has placed these teeth in our mouth for a purpose, a very valuable pur pose. too, and if we neglect to properly use them we are inviting conditions that seriously threaten our health and general welfare. Diseases of the nose and mouth have a great influence upon the dental arch of the mouth, particularly adenoid growths in the nose. If the nose is filled up with these ade noids the free passage of air along the nasal membranes becomes obstructed and results in thchild becoming what is known as a ‘mouth breather.” In this change from the norma! physiological nasal breathing the den tal arch Is deformed and irregular teeth is the result. Many of these cases are deplor able. for it not only impairs the ability of the individual to masticate food properly, but it interferes with the voice and changes the whole famal appearance of the person. An oii.er deplorable condition due to these nasal growths is the effect they may have on the m- niaiity of tile child. They become stupid, f'rgejfui. inattentive and lack the power of mental concentration. This is caused by these growths obstructing the lymphatic clr of the brain, preventing the proper supply nf nutrition so essential to its develop ment. These nd-noid growths not only affect •'e denial arch of the mou'h, but they are the ir -Mi- . ' aus.^ of deafness in children. Dr. W A. Mills of Paltimore, discussing this sub >'1 a‘ ■ r.' -. n‘ meeting of Washington den said, one-half our idiots and insane in ;i institutions today are so as the result of deformed dental arches due to adenoids in the nose.” Is insanity in many cases due to defective teeth? That is a question that has aroused much interest in the profession due to an interesting series of experiments made by Dr. Henry S. Upson, professor of neurology in the Western Reserve .Medical school, Cleve land, Ohio. He found among the insane in the asylums of Cleveland and Columbus many eases of dementia precox and melancholia, these patients all showing dental impaction of the teeth. Taking nine of these unfortunate creatures. Dr. Upson had them operated on dentally and the results obtained were sensa tional in the extreme. Six of these have fully recovered, two much improved and one showed no mental change at all. The common cause of all our dental troubles Is decay of the teeth, known techni cally as dental caries, t is a disease known to have existed for centuries. In the British museum is a skull of a mummy dated 2S00 B. C., showing evidences of well-marked caries. Ur. L. M. Waugh of Buffalo, quoting from Guer ni's "History of Dentistry." calls attention to a collection of Egyptian writings dating back to 1550 B. C.. in which are mentioned a num ber of remedies for this disease. Decay or caries of the teeth is largely due to neglect or failure to keep the mouth and particularly the teeth properly cleaned. If food particles lodge between the teeth and are not removed they eventually ferment. During this fermentation process the mouth bacteria acting on the car bohydrate foodstuffs produce acid fermenta tion. These acids dissolve the lime salts of the teeth, exposing the dentine to the action of microbes which rapidly destroy the tooth structure. It is the general supposition that teeth always decay from the outside; as a matter of fact the change takes place from within outward and goes on rapidly until there is quite a large cavity. Frequently toothache or extreme sensitiveness to hot or coid food or drink are the first Intimations that decay has taken place. Sometimes there is no pain at all and a chance examination discloses the cavity in the tooth. These tooth cavities are ideal incubators for all kinds of bacteria. Many of the patho genic bacteria require heat and moisture for their development and the unclean month and teeth offer all these conditions. It Is not un common to find the pus-producing organisms, the bacillus of diphtheria and tuberculosis, in Wiese loom caw ues. The cases of unclean mouths are legion: not only among children, but among adults. It is estimated that only eight per cent, of the people In this country take care of their teeth. In a recent paper read before the Society of Medical Inspectors of New York, and com menting on the condition of children’s teeth. Dr. Merritt said: "It may be said without fear of contradiction that if the teeth of the com ing generation are to be saved it must be done during their school life. In the city of New York there are in this year of 1910 over 600,000 school children, a very large percentage of whom are in need of dental treatment. Few of them ever make use of a tooth brush: their mouths are filthy beyond belief, and most of them have one or more decayed teeth.” Dr. William H. Potter of Boston, at the so licitation of the school board of Brookline, Mass., recently examined the mouths of the school children In that exclusive suburb of Boston and found that 58 per cent, of the chil dren had diseased and defective mouths and teeth. The school inspectors of Cleveland. Ohio, examined 33,000 children last year and dis c*overed 77 per cent, of them to have defective teeth. It has been estimated that there are over 9,000,000 children in the United States who have defective and diseased teeth and 5,000,000 with enlarged glands and 7,000,000 with defective breathing, due to adenoid growths in the nose. Dental caries frequently originates during pregnancy and should receive immediate at tention. There is an old and true saying, “a tooth for every child,” but this can be avoided if the prospective mother will follow the Instructions of her physician and her den tist. - ■ — ■ .1 THF AKThFH DCFS ACT F£Ai.JZF THAT THFOF COHTHHAACF5 A#f AAACFHOH5 TO THF HFAITH OF H£A CH/JLD The teeth should never be neglected. It Is as essential to keep them clean as it is neees- ! sary for us to eat. They should be thoroughly brushed with a medium bristle brush three times a day. Most people brush them in a very perfunctory sort of way, applying the brush horizontally. This does not remove the small particles of food between the teeth and fermentation and decay results. The proper wav is to first rinse the mouth with water that has been slightly warmed. This washes away many of the food particles that adhere to the teeth. Next use the brush without any powder or paste to dislodge any food that may still remain on the teeth; then apply your powder or paste 'by means of the tooth brush and thoroughly use it along the teeth with the j cross motion usually applied with the brush to the teeth. You must also brush upward and downward, inward and outward, then back ward and forward. In this way all foreign substances are removed. In order to be sure that no particles remain even after this treat- j ment, it is necessary to pass silk dental floss between the teeth. Very frequently if the floss becomes ragged or breaks, it is a guide to some defect existing in the tooth surfaces. In selecting a tooth paste or powder be sure to secure a product free from acid or grit. In order to obtain a clean mouth and have good teeth and health it is necessary that you should have your dentist look ever your teeth at least twice a year. You are not able to locate small cavities with your hand mirror and your dentist has every appliance for do ing so. r»o not think that because a tooth has decayed it cannot be saved; the roots of teeth do not decay, and the dentist, with the aid of fllkngs and crowns, can repair these structures and give you much comfort. Missing teeth greatly impair the proper chewing of food. It is here that the dentist can be of important service to you. Many mothers think that it Is useless to take care of baby's temporary teeth, but this is a grievous error. Their permanent teeth have begun formation up in the gums during the temporary period and are ready to make their appearance at the proper physiological time. It care is taken with the temporary set. the permanent ones will appear with some reg ularity and be formed to produce correct oc clusion. Mothers should clean the baby’s teeth every day with a weak solution of bo racie acid; a soft cloth dipped in this solution should be gently drawn across the teeth and gums at least twice a day. When a child reaches the age of 2% jear3 it should be ex- 1 Emitted by the dentist. This is done to insure that the teeth and gums are in good condition.

There are several others. but they ,, - to ho dying oat srlth the wind i Lew day*. The new style of ships and men brings forth new s^yle dish es. For Instance, there is black pan' and hoodie/ dishes seen regularly In the quarters of the seamen and sto ker* respectively. “ 'Slack pan' consists of chicken, ham and roast beef. The variety, how ever. consists of scraps of rood from the saloon tables and is given to the men by the chef as unfit for other use. Every evening after dinner two j of the men go aft to the galley and get a couple of panfuls of the delicacies which they would otherwise never get their teeth into. All the grub des tined for the sailors is thrown into a big pan in the galley; hence the name. \\ hy the pan is called black I cannot see. “ ‘Hoodie’ is a dish peculiar to the •stokers. It is also made from scraps from the saloon tables, with the ex ception that occasionally raw pork and beef are used in its make-up. So far as I can learn. It Is made as follows: First, all meat Is stripped from the bones and thrown on a chopping board, along with some raw onions, potatoes and the like. After it is chopped into small pieces a liberal quantity of salt, forecastle butter, bay leaves and other seasoning is added, the whole being thoroughly mixed. Each stoker has brought a tin ‘bucket’ aboard with him, and into his bucket he places his ‘whack’ of the mixture, after giving the bucket a liberal coat ins of butter. Then the cover is olaced over the whole. On going on duty he carries his bucket down with him, and places It among the ashes under his fires. By the end ot his watch it is thoroughly cooked, as you can imag ine. and is carried up the ladders as he goes off duty. When cooked it is hpodle.’ and. to judge by its aroma, is a rich and rare dish. How it de rived its name is more than I ran tell." A souvenir by any other name would probably be called trash. 0 U ■ Politics—and Priscilla / By STACY E. BAKER (Copyiicht. I9U. by Associated Literary Press.) Andy Morgan bought a controlling Interest in the Arlington "Morning Arrow,” and realize d a cherished am bition by settling down to the none too prosaic life of an editor. Arlington was a thriving i little city of about 12,000 population. The "Ar row," under the old editorial manage ment. had long been a sluggish dis pirited sheet, with limited patronage and little voice in civic affairs. The town smiled broadly when Morgan fortified himself behind this decadent timber. Before Andy Morgan had gone away to complete his college course he had been more than ordinarily in terested in pretty Priscilla Wilson. Ills return to the home town found Priscilla blossomed to as dainty a (Tower as ever he had hoi>ed to see. Morgan's subjection was complete. Iian Wilson, father of Priscilla, was a politician of some note in the community. "Honest Dan' was his sobriquet, and his “square’' methods were matters of pride with his con stituents. Wilson was one of the first callers ! at the "Arrow” sanctum under the | new control. "Congratulations." he said, as he entered the presence of the young editor. Morgan laughingly waved the older man to a seat. Wait until I've made good." he cautioned. "It isn't going | to be the easiest thing in the world ; to steer the water-logged old craft j into the current of present times and methods, and even when this ! is done, no one will care to ship on her until she has proven herself sea | worthy.” "Just so." agreed Wilson. "Put 1 I. for one. have confidence in your ability to handle the tub. Just how. if the question isn't personal, do you stand in politics?" Wilson stared straight at the young man. "I shall affiliate myself with no ! party." came from Morgan. "The Arrow' will be for the best man. al ways.” “Quite right." approved Wilson, with a keen glance analyzing the new editor. "But sooner or later, my boy. you will find that influence will be brought to bear upon you to bring you r- - - -- He Could Not Understand It. to the editorial aid of men not capa ble. I have a pretty keen insight into things, and I can see it coming. You must remember your best man plat form then." "Trust me," promised Morgan, and "Honest Dan" left the office. Andy Morgan called often upon pretty Priscilla Wilson. Their friendship spring into an intimacy that bade fair to lead to matrimony. The tall youth with his serious ideas of life, and hfs strong affection for her too plainly seen in his eyes, was j encouraged by the trim little maid, j Priscilla Wilson, despite her dainti- | ness and littleness, was also of a ■ serious trend of mind. The "Arrow.” under its new man ager. prospered from the start. Ad vertisers increased their space and Morgan's fair methods and the im proved appearance of the paper added new subscribers. "Priscilla,” began the youth one evening, “it is now almost a ye^jr since I took the ‘Arrow,’ I have suc ceeded. even beyond my expectations —and they were not modest. There is only one thing in the world now that can make my happiness com plete.” The girl blushed. It is more than possible that she surmised the ques- 1 tion to come. The feminine instinct is capable of much. ‘'And that is——“ she asked, bravely. . “You!” Priscilla's lips were silent, and tlio flush suddenly faded from her cheeks, leaving th“m strangely pale. After a little she spoke. “You wish to marry me?” she asked in a low voice. “Priscilla," breathed the man hoarsely. “Why do you ask? You know I do.” A little hand stopped his advance “You love me, then? Do you love me well enough to do something for me? To sacrifice something-.for my sake?” “Ask me.” cried Morgan. “Are you positive that you will grant me this favor?" “Dearest, how can I help it?” "Then listen!” The girl's clear eyes were on the youth. “You are championing Anderson Dorn for con gressman from this district, are you not?” “Yes, but-” “I want you to turn against him, and support David Kennedy, the can didate on the other ticket.” “You want me," exclaimed Mor gan. hardly believing his own ears, "to 'knife' the logical man for the office, and work for that—that scoun drel. Kennedy?” “Just so," answered the girl cold ly. "but I already know what your answer will be. Your love for me is not strong enough to allow you to grant me this slight favor." "Slight favor," repeated Morgan, ironically. "1 would hardly call it that, Priscilla. If I acceded to your wishes. I would be put down as a fiolitical sharper immediately, and all my prestige in the community, my hard-won reputation for honesty and square dealing, and, above all. clean politics would be gone. I can't do it. girl. I love you. and I will do any thing in the world within reason for you, but I can't besmirch my own name. I don't understand it. What put such an idea into your head?” "All that is immaterial,” came from the girl crisply. “It is suffi cient for you to know that I asked— and you refused—a favor. I want you to believe me when I say that I will never ask anything more from you. From now on, we are stran gers. “Priscilla, you can't mean it!” “O but I do On second thought, however. I will give you a chance. I will allow you until Saturday to think it over. If you decide to do as I ask. come to me and—and 1 will love you forever, otherwise-” Morgan took his hat and plodded dismally from the house. He couid not understand it. To his knowledge "Honest Dan" Wilson and this Ken nedy, a crook politician of the worst type, could have nothing in common with each other. The next day Wilson called at the "Arrow" office. “My daughter,” the politician began bluntly, “asked a favor of you last evening. Don't you think it would be wise for you to grant it?” “I do not,” came from Morgan shortly. “Nor do I care to talk about the matter.” “Honest Dan" bowed curtly and left the office. “Now,” ruminated Andy, as he watched the older man stride past the window, “I have antag onized him. Well, he may as well know how I stand.” On Saturday evening a disconsolate Andy called at the Wilson home. Priscilla glanced at the visitor keenly. “Well?” she interrogated. They were alone in the parlor. “I have come to say good-by,” an nounced the youth sadly. “I can’t do as you wish me to do. Priscilla. I wouldn't be fair to myself, if I did.” The girl came swiftly across the room, and to the astonishment of Morgan, her fair head suddenly bent over his shoulder. “Nor did I be lieve you would, you big boy,” she cried exultingly. “Father is so skep tical in reference to political honesty that I—I wanted to show him that you couldn't be bribed, and—and— you couldn’t.” Two arms were suddenly thrown around the youth’s neck and a flushed face hid itself from his happy eyes. The Nursery Window. If the nursery window is not pro tected by outside bars, hammer a large screw or nail into the groove of the lower sash, so that the window cannot be raised more than six Inches. If the top sash is drawn down, this is quite enough for ventilation, and no matter how ingenious or venturesome the little ones may be they cannot wriggle through tne small lower open ing. Why “Only Man Was Vile” Writer of the Famous Missionary Hymn Was Vexed by a Ceylon Hotel Keeper. The famous missionary hymn, , "From Greenland's Icy Mountains,” i which it is proposed to eliminate from the American Episcopalian hymn book on the ground that the senti ments expressed by the author are now superannuated, was written in 1819 at Wrexham. The author, Regi nald Heber, was staying with his father-in-law. Doctor Shipley, rector of Wrexham, at the time. Doctor Ship ley had to preach a sermon in aid of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts on a cer tain Sunday. The day before, Heber, Doctor Shipley and a few friends were sitting in the library of the vicarage when the vicar asked his son-in-law to write something for them to sing in the morning—something appropriate to the subject of foreign mission#. Fifteen minutes later Heber read aloud to the surprised and admiring group the verses of the now celebrat ed hymn. Particular exception is now token by the Americans to the affirma tion that “Every prospect pleases, and only man is vile.” and a reference to Heber s biography shews that the lat ter half of the pnrase is a hasty gem eralization, founded on a single in stance.
