Candy and the Teeth.

The delegates to the annual con-
vention, of the Pennsylvania De n
tai Association met in Pittsburg,
Jan. 23.
Among the subjects discussed was
the effect of candy on the teeth.
Prof. Pierce of Philadelphia, con-
demned the candy habit as most vi
cious. He said children must have
sugar, but as it is not favored they
will not eat too much of it. =" Candy
is favored and they eat it to excess.
It becomes an acid in fifteen minu-
tes and hence is dangerous. " DIR.
Hurley of Oil city, thought candy
when pure was not injurious to the
teeth. When doctors disagree who
shall decide?

Thanksgiving Day.

IualIOH.
By the President Of the Unit

The people of the United
States should never be unmind.
full Of the gratitude they owe
the God of Nations for His
watchfnl care, which has shield
ed them from disaster and
pointed out TO them the way of
peace and happiness. Nor
should they ever refuse to &C
knowledge with contrite hearts
their proneness to turn away
from Gods teaching and to fol-
low with sinful pride after
their own devices.
To the end that these thoughts
may be quickened, it is fitting
that on a day especially APP
pointed we should join together
in approaching the throne of
grace with praise AMI supl Ii
cation. Therefore, ], Grover
Cleveland, President Of the
United States, do hereby de.
signate and set apart Thursday,
the 26th day of the present
month of November, to be kept
and observed as a day of
thanksgiving and prayer
throughout our land. On that
day let all our people forego
their usual work and occupation
and, assembled in their accus
toned places of worship, let
them with one accord render
thanks to the Ruler of the
Universe for cur preservation
as a nation and our deliverance
from every threatened danger
for the peace that has dwelt
within our boundaries; for our
defense against disease and
pestilence during the year that
has passed; for the plenteous
rewards that have followed the
lahors Of our husbandmen; and
for all the other blessings that
have been vouchsafed to us.
And let us, through the me
dialion of Him who has taught
us how to pray, implore the for
givenpss Of our sins and a con
tinuatiou u heavenly favor.
Let us not forget on this day
of Thanksgiving the poor and
needy, and by deeds of charity
let our offerings of praise be
made more acceptable in the
sight of the Lord.
Witness my hand and the
seal Of the United States,
which / have caused to be
hereto affixed. Done at the
City of Washington this fourth
day of November, in the year
of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and ninety six and Of
the Independence Of the United
States of America the one hun
