The following extract taken from

them too little to do. The writer evil
IDENTIFY wishes us to go back TO the days
of our early ancestors, when they lived
upon uncooked foods and had to chew
in earnest. The chewing gum girl

chewing will do it.
"Mastication is rapidly becoming a
lost art, and although we have become
hardened to the fact that three-fourths
of the dyspepsia is due to this cause, it
might surprise some Of US to know that
the early decay of the teeth and dis
eases OF the gums are occasioned by
this same lack of maxillary exercise.
a disease of the gums, called Riggs dis
ease, which is every day becoming
more common, is caused almost en-
tirely by the want OF proper mastica-
ton.
Twenty-Five years ago this trouble
was not considered of any Importance
by the dentists on account OF its rare
occurrence. To-day ii Is given more

both the gums and the bones is not
carried to the part nor does the blood
carry sufficient material to the teeth.

jaw is arrested by this same want of
motion.
Among the earlier races defects Ct
the jaws and teeth were almost w
known. In examing the skulls of
thousands of Indians, early Britons and
Chinese, not single irregulari.y of
the jaw is found, and the teeth that are
present are sound and well formed.
The food which they lived upon, such
as roots, herbs, corn and unco0ked
meats, required a good deal of chewing
in order to prepare it for the changes
to follow, and as a result the muscles
of the jaw were dense and hard, the
bones well developed and compact,
the teeth large, regular and firm. Most
of the food among the better class of
people to-day is cooked so as to require
very little mastication. and the conse-
quence is that the muscles have be-
come flabby, the jaws slender, and the
processes for the attachment of the
muscles almost obliterated."

ST MARYS, w. Va, June 10.--The
outlook for the local shallow field was
never more promising. The talent at
large is playing the shallow sands,
and st. Marys may be correctly dubbed
the hub of shallow sand territory.
1t is an indisputable fact that the shall
low sand produces greater returns upon
the capital invested. Four wells can
be drilled here for the cost OF one In
jun well in the Elk Fork pool, and
almost dozen Cow run wells may be
completed for the price OF a completed
Gordon we'll in Piney Fork develop
ment. This enormous Difference in
cost of operating is not alone TespOn-
sble for the growing demand for shall
low territory, but buster here is not
more frequent than in deeper sands.
The small cost of operating makes it
very desirable for people of moderate
means, and permits them to do a great
deal more business.
