Killed ~ Nicotine Poisoning.
"Ia~r2 i y bad result OF constant
cigarette smoking thai very few people
know anything about, - said q Brooklyn
dentist. THE result itself has been ap-
parent to me> and to all dentists for a
long time, but the cause has been a mys-
terry until very recently. For years the
nerves of teeth in every other way per-
feet have been found dead. A careful
examination of q dead nerve found In
al unexposed tooth recently revealed the
fact that it had been poisoned by nico-
tine, and thereby the mystery referred
TO was solved. Nicotine poisoning from
cigarette smoking is killing the nerves
in the teeth of smokers. 1t is a most
serious state of affairs, although most
people will not understand. They think
a dead tooth is as good as a live one.
They will find their mistake some day.
"A young woman whom ! have known
For some time came here the other day
and wanted a tooth attended to. l
worked on the tooth some time, and
some of the instruments / used should
have made her scream q little bit. But
she never made a sound, and / naturally
concluded that the nerve of the tooth
was dead. 1t surprised me because the
tooth was a good q and the nerve I'M
exposed. Well, / extracted the nerve.
and the minute I saw it / knew what
vas the trouble.
DO you want T. live nerve left in
your head?' | asked. .
why, of course, she replied.
Then stop smoking cigarettes,
said.
why, doctor, what do you mean?'
she began. Then sho put on a great
show Of Indignation.
My dear young lady, ! said,
what's the use of talking so? Tn a
dental surgeon aud l.now a thing when

rettes for a long time, and ny advice

Well, sd collapsed then, acknowledged

The Old Time Singing School.
In the old colonial days when the
great and the Observation-Disclosures
were young the singing school was q
well established institution, writes Mary
E. Estes in q very accurate article tell
ing exactly how "the old time concert"
may be reproduced al n church enter
taininent in Ladies' Home journal. It
was usually held in the village school
house, the schooInlaster often figuring
as the singing master. Thither at reg
ular intervals through the long winter
months tripped the grandmas with their
escorts. Little did they imagine as they
lifted mp their sweet voices in unison
with tho strong tenors and tassos that
those same Mrs. v Q the very gowns
they wore, would at some distant day
be reproduced for the benefit OF am ap-
Neutrality-suspicious.. Yet il may be safe
" asserted that with the exception OF
the colonial ten the old folks concert
il the most popular OF the old time en-
tertainments.
The success Of an undertaking OF this
sort depends largely upon the adapta4
bility for her Office Of the person hav-
ing the affair in hand. She mnst Of me-
, oessity have an accurate conception Of
the ann in which these entertain
ments were conducted ip our grand
mothers day. Ehc must also become
!, thoroughly i1nbued with the spirit Of
hat oiden time.
