A to the Teeth.

Sound teeth not only add to ones

Many diseases OF the eye. ear, and cav
tiles of the head are traceable to I'M
sound teeth, and there is not a disease
to which the body ia liable that Is not
aggravated by an unhealthy condition
of the teeth. Eye diseases are espe-
cially common as the results OF poor
teeth. These affections may vary from
a simple dimness of sight to total
blindness, the symptoms. however,
usually disappearing when the teeth
are attended to. Poor teeth are, more
over, a common cause of indigestion.
for good digestion can take place only
when the food Is thoroughly masti-

to go for a stroll in that garden he
meant to do 80.
At dinner Vera sat directly opposite
him. and he inwardly blessed his host
ess for not crowding the table with
flowers, ferns. or ornaments, which
would have hidden her charming. clear
cut features from him. When looking
at her a calm always came over him,
that he could not explain. Even when
absent from her, he generally pictured
her as a limpid spring from which
peace was always flowing. Nothing
