DEFECTIVE TEETH.

He amt never had no toothacbe." says the
parent Of the boy with obstructed nose a
mouth full Of carious teeth and chains of n
larged glands In the neck. And that is about
all that many parents can understand about the
conditions of their poorly nourished, mouth
breathing and necessarily somewhat stupid chill
dren. Yet these are the children who as men
and women fail early in the race of life. and
surely become victims Of disease, frequently Of
some form of tuberculosis.
He don't work NIT his teet." said one woman
when shown her boys mouth full of rotting
snags. No. but his body depends for its nutri-
ton upon the use Of sound teeth and a clean
mouth, and upon clean nose free to strain air
through wide nostrils, instead of little mis-
shapen ones due to the adenoids and tonsils be-
hind them
We in Rochester have refused certificates to
those children with most marked physical de-
fects A strict physical examination. such as
the state should demand. would have prevented
many of these children applying from receiving
certificates to work in stores and factories As
the parents Of many of these children would be
unable to pay for the repair WORK, we have,
with the aid Of private philanthropy, organized
the Rochester Public Health Association. with
dental. eve. ear, nose and throat clinics, both
for school children and for those who desire to
work At these clinics we have been able to
provide skilled medical attention to all who
have thus far applied. In this work we have
sought to displace the old practice Of the medi-
cine of drugs by the newer practice or the
medicine of hygiene, which seeks to preserve the
bodv In health in its city environment, and it
wouid seem that the taking up by the state of
the cause of physical betterment in children is a
rnovernent most decidedly worth while.

when he addressed these words to DR.. Samuel
McAuliffe, mercantile inspector Of the Roches-

inches tall and weighed sixty-nine pounds He
said he was fourteen years old, and, despite
his size and the fact that he produced bap
usmal record showing that he born in 1893
he looked older. He had been at school, passed
the sixth grade and had. the law provides
the rudiments of English including grammar
and arithmetic through fractions, but his con-
versation showed that even the grammar Of
the schools had not been able to overcome the
example of language IN the home. Neurotic.
restless and lacking in attention, he found
amusement on the street corners, in the penny
picture machine and the scent theatre. His
face was set. Impressed upon his forehead

Stuart's Charcoal Loz
Trial Package Sent Free.

Charcoal, pure, simple charcoal. alb
serbs 100 times it's own volume of gas.
Where does the gas go to? 1t is just
absorbed by the charcoal-the gas
disappears and there is left a pure,
fresh, sweet atmosphere, free from all
impurities and germs.
That's what happens in your stom-
ach when you take one or two of
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges, the most
powerful purifiers science has yet dis
covered.
You belch gas in company, some
time, by accident, greatly to your own
humiliation. That is because there is
a great amount of gas being formed
in your stomach by fermenting food
Your stomach is not digesting your
food properly. Gas is inevitable.
Whenever this happens, just take one
or two of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
right after eating, and you will be sur
prised how quickly they will act. No
more belchings; no more sour risings.
Eat all the you want and what you
want, and then If there is any gas go
ing to be formed, one of these wonder
full little absorbers, a Stuart Charcoal
Lozenge, will take care Of all the gas.
And 1t will do more than that. Every
particle of impurity in your stomach
and intestines is going to be carried
away by the charcoal. No one seems
to know why it does this, but 1t does,
and does it wonderfully. You notice
the difference in your appetite, general
good feeling, and in the purity of your
blood, right away.
You'll have no more bad taste In
your mouth, or bad breath, either from
drinking, eating or smoking. Other
people will notice your bad breath
quicker than you viii yourself Make
your breath pure, fresh and sweet, so
when you talk to others you won't dis
gust them. Just one or two Stuart
Charcoal Lonzenges VIII make your
breath sweet, and make you feel bet
ter all over for it. You can eat all the
onions and odorous foods you want,
and no one can tell the difference.
Besides charcoal is the best laxative
known. You can take whole boxful
and no harm will result 1t is won
derfully easy regulator.
And then, too, it filters your blood
every particle of poison or impurity
in your blood is destroyed, and you

palatable, but not too sweet.
They will work wonders in your

after you get 1t ana ~Alee it, you will
like them so well that you will go to

BISHOPS SEVERE WORDS.
Says Society Women Are to Blame for
Downfall of Shop Girls.

Chicago, Feb. ia dispatch to the
Tribune from Detroit, Mich, says:
Bishop Charles d. Williams, at a
Lenten service yesterday attended
largely by society women, declared
that they were to blame for the down
fall of girls employed in big depart
ment stores.
"A poor girl goes to the city,"
Bishop Williams said. land begins to
work in department store, managed
by a representative Christman man.
Her wages are about 81 a week She
can not support herself on that. Then
there comes the suggestion-and 1
have heard it backed up by the actual
words of the so-called Christian en-
ployer-that there are other things
she can do.
WHO is responsible? You, my sis
ter. The day of judgment will be a
day of surprises for you. You will
perhaps find yourself wearing the
brand of shame on your brow that
now seems SO fafr-not because of
wrong that you have done, but that
because of your unholy lust for bar
gains you have made conditions such
that your less fortunate sister is crush
ed to the mud of the pavements."
