USE OF FALSE TEETH.

Probably not less than two million
artificial teeth are manufactured in this
country each year, and still the output
goes on increasing. Never before was
such great care manifested for teeth
as has been exhibited during the last
five years. In this respect Americans
lead the world, not even the fastidious
French excelling the people of the
United States in their sOlicitude for the
preservation of natural teeth in their
application of the arts Of dental science
when substitutes have to be provided
for natures molars.
Establishment are VIGOROUSLY careless
about their teeth, although in late years
great progress has been made in this
matter.
A prominent dentist of New-York de-
clares that nearly every patient with a
mouthful of decayed teeth is for
eigner "They let things drift" he
says, land come only when pain drives
them here Americans, and especially
Southerners hasten to their dentist i'm
media tely they detect even the slightest
signs of coming trouble, and the re-
suit is that there are by far more
saved teeth in this country than in
any other. Englishnen and Irishnen
are remarkably apathetic about their
molars, and will go about for years
with hopelessly decayed teeth. "-Balti-

EAT SLOW
Means Chew Fast, Fine and Hard but
Swallow Slow.

Means Chew Fast, Fine and Hard but
Swallow Slow.
Across the table sat a young man."
remarked an old gentleman from New
Albany, Ind, recently, with a sfckly
face, who was slowly chewing in a
fashion which led me to believe that
his teeth were all in such condition that
if he should forget himself and bite a.
little bit harder, off would fly the top
of his head. Finally I remarked
You have to be very careful of them?'
Yes, indeed, he replied, I have no
stomach. My doctor told me to eat
slow. No odds what your hurry may
be- said he, eat slow
You misunderstood him. said I, what
the doctor meant was to chew fast, fine
and hard but to swallow slowly. Now
you are actually committing suicide,
the doctor meant for you to use your
teeth. Are your teeth all right?'
Yes he replied, 4 can bite through
sole leather. ] wonder if the doctor did
mean that I should chew hard instead
of slow?'
Then I told him of my experience in
the food line. I'm pretty old man
now but, like good many other people,
nv stomach went back on me one time
and I commenced to study food and the
reuuiremnets of the body. After eX
perimenting good deal I came across
Grape-Nuts and was soon convinced
that this food met all the requirements
of health and as daily diet is indis-
pensable.
am not a doctor but it is easy to I'M
derstand that the great change from
my former condition to my present good
health and ability,a at the age Of 81, to
walk 25 miles day, if so inclined, is
due solely to Grape Nuts and the prop
er nourishnent my body has received
from this valuable food.
The crispness OF Grape-Nuts gives the
teeth sufficient action to keep them in
good condition; it's taste is delicious and
the way it is prepared corrects any d.
gestive trouble a person may have. 7

C. B. Bunnell to Purchase Property In
Bridgeport.
It is learned on excellent authority
that the G.. B. Bunnell theater syndicate
has made an offer to the Unfversalist
church on Fairfield avenue, Bridgeport,
for it's property.
1t is thought that the society would
be considerably benefited If it disposed
OF its property, as it is quite valuable
The building is admirably suited for
theater purposes, il it were secured.
1t is understood that there is hardly
frontage enough on the church lot for
a theater, but it is believed that this
could be renlendied by securing the
Wordin property adjoining. The two
lots together would make piece of
ground amply large enough for the
theater, which it is proposed to put up.
It is understood that Mr.. Bunnell's
syndicate has other sites in view, in
Guiding the one now occupied by the
Curtis property on Main street, Golden
Hill, and Elm streets.
