ARE TEETH DISAPPEARANCE
A rerrIbl. Calamity Promised for IN
Coming GeneratIons.

a Herribie Calamity Promised for the
Coming Generations.
What is to be done about it, or will
the future race be content to do
without teeth? asks the Boston Herald.
According to an experienced dentist,
education is playing sad havoc with
the teeth Of the modern generation.
The change in them has been appar-
entity rapid, more so than in other
physical deteriorations, and, dentistry
having become a science, the cause is
sought with hopes to stay the effect.
Formerly, says the dentist, decayed
teeth were attributed to fondness for
sweets, but this idea is a mistake.
Sugar Is nourishing, and taken with
a wholesome 1iet and proper care Of
the teeth IL doesn't harm them. The
truth Ii that the ancient sturdy square
jaw Of the Anglo-Saxon race is chang
ing through over-much study and over
reduction to a V shape, which presses
the molars one upon the other and
does not give them room to grow, and
Will in time prevent them cutting at

through disease; man is about to lose

missing in many jaws. This, singular
to relate, makes the educated jaw"
English women are not averse to this
V-shaped angle Of chin. They are dis
tinguished for the length and breadth
OF the teeth, and would gladly see their
ivories diminish under the new facial
form. Girton and Newman, Radcliffe
and Vassar are responsible for much OF
this educated" jaw. The young men
are not sorry to have less teeth to be
nlled, and as personal vanity plays
little part in their physical culture
they would as soon be toothIess as not.
But suppose more study, more higher
education" aids this process OF evolu-
ton and in the course of time the
grandchildren Of the students OF today
have jaws like chipmunks and never.

or will they, as writer suggests, then

For blouses and shirt waists there

strongly smelling chemicals in floating
receptacles to be attached to the exist

hidden by thick fog, which does not
allow light to penetrate nor sound to
be heard until too late, while the
