THE FIRST PERMA-
NENT MOLARS

There are 20 teeth in a full set of
temporary teeth all of which are to be
replaced by permanent ones and all of
which are usually cut before the child
is SO months old. At about the sixth
year the first permanent molars come
in ,one on each half of both jaws, di-
rectly behind the last of the temporary
teeth.
These teeth, If lost, are never replac-
ed by nature. The first molars are
the most important of all of the teeth
as they come in at a time when the
child is beginning to shed the tenn
porary teeth and they form the prin-
cipal surface for chewing the food
during this period Being large rooted
and firmly planted they are the chief
stay in holding the jaws in proper re-
lation during the time when the tenn
porary teeth are being replaced by the
permanent ones. They are the largest
of all of the permanent teeth and are
situated at place where a person can
masticate his food most effectually all
through life. Decay frequently begins
within a short time after the teeth are
cut and therefore they should be care
fully watched and examined by a dem
fist in order that the decay may be
checked before it causes the loss of
these the most valuable of all of the
teeth.

AN OLD SOLDIERS DAY.
One Will Be Held at Garfield Park
ChautauGua July IL.

1t has been arranged that one of
the Chautauqua days at Garfield park,
probably Wednesday, July II, shall be
an Old Soldiers day, and the pro-
gramme will be in charge of the local
G. A. R. encampment. 1t is expected
that Senator Charles Curtis will be in
vited by them to be their representa-
tive upon the platform. 1t is certain
that Senator Curtis will give an adj
dress on some day during the Chautau-
qua. He is one of the most enthusiast
tic supporters of the movement. About
a year ago, he together with a num-
Der of other prominent citizens was
invited to address the Commercial club
about what they thought should receive
the attention of the club in promoting
the interests of the city.
Senator Curtis made very enthusi-
astic address in which the principal
matter urged by him was the import
ance to a community of establishing
and maintaining a local Chautauqua
association. Senator Curtis is of course
highly pleased that the movement has
been inaugurated, and he thinks that
the association has procured an excel
lent programme. In conversation with
one of the directors the other day, who
was expressing some regret that the
association had not secured what show
men call "A top liner" he remarked
with enthusiasm, why, you have
man who ranks as a platform speaker
in the same class with Secretary Taft.
Senator Beveridge, Senator LaFollette,
and w. J. Bryan. That man is Capt.
Hobson. He is surely among the fore
most platform speakers in America"

A Camping Party.

In getting up a camping party find
enough congenial companions to make
the party up to four or five, rarely
more, never less. Two is too few In
case of accident or the Inevitable camp
squabbles, three permits the associa-
ton of two as chums leaving the third
one to himself, four, two pairs. is the
most satisfactory number, although
five can travel very comfortably. Get
as well acquainted as possible with all
members of the party before starting
One uncongenial member may spoil the
pleasure of the whole party. If pos
sible, let one man know well how to
do camp cooking. Try him on a short
outing before you trust him on the
real trip. The comfort of the whole
party depends most on the ability of
the cook. Fancy cooking or chatting
dish adeptness amount to but little
when it comes to frying bacon, making
fapjacks, and building fires with green
wood when the rain is pouring down
and the others of the party are beg
ging for something hot, and mighty
quick about it, too."-The Travel
Magazine.
