dentistry as being virtually a science
of our own age, archaeologists know
that 1t was praeticed among the an
clients. The museums of Rome and
other places in Italy possess various
specimens of dentists work dating
from before Christ, and another such
specimen has recently been discover
ed In the jaws Of a skeleton found In
a tomb at Teano. The skeleton is
that of woman, and from the jaws
there was extracted a gold mount
containing six teeth. A peculiar fact
about the find is that the teeth, al
though Tapped" with gold. were I'M
doubtedly natural. and the theory is
that the ancients used gold flaps or
rims to steady loose teeth. For arti-
fetal teeth the dentists OF the old
world had a fancy for animal teeth.

rumble in the breasts of the people of
this community. They didn't forget

came, for the mayor made reference
to Dickens and his estimate of Cairo,
in his address OF welcome. 'Tis said
that you cant buy a set of Dickens
works in the town, SO great Is the
feeling toward the English writer.
But, anyway, they don't run especially
to literature In Cairo. There are other
pleasures which occupy the public

their ancestors and their town half |
century ago. Then Cairo had only !
a few hundred people. Today you ask
the average citizen the population OF
Cairo and he says, well, 10000 in.

drawback to Cairo, the large negro
population which comes up from the |
river bottoms and in consequence
isn't altogether desirable. They

president drove out to St. Mary's |
Park, where he delivered his speech. !
