COUNTRY CLUB NOTES

only few members of the Glendale
Country club yesterday turned out to
play tennis in the broliing sun, ans
these only lasted about an hour. There
will be many private games of tennis
pulled off this afternoon at this popular
club.
There are no games of tennis or polo
scheduled for this afternoon at tile
Hollywood club, due to the fact haa
many of the players will be at One
fifth annual Potter tournament, which
is being held at Santa Barbara, and
the weather is too hot for polo. This
will be the first Saturday in many
weeks that the courts have been dee
serted.
Quite a number of golfers yesterday
occupied the links of the Annandala
Country club and many pil.atS
matches were played, but no scores
were turned in, which makes it evil
dent that no records were broken by
any of the club wielders. Already there
is a large list of entries for the handi-
cap match play against par, which will
be played this afternoon on the popu-
lar links. This is a favorite game
among the members and a record
crowd is expected.
Despite the broiling sun which COW
cred the links yesterday of the Los
Angeles Country club, made little
hotter by the lack of a usually cooling
breeze, many lovers of golf turned out
and played the game to the limit. The
program this afternoon will consist of
a four-ball foursome, eighteen holes.

PRACTICE AND PREACHING.

r OR some time DR.. Wiley chief of the Bureau
- of Chemistry of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, has been giving excellent
advice on foods-what we should eat in all sea-
sons. 1t appears however, that the doctor, like
many other physicians, does not follow his own
advice. For example, he says that during the
summer season we should eat one-fourth less
food than we do in winter Danish alcoholic bev-
erages, practice moderation in open air exercises;
don't fret and don't worry.
Such advice is excellent, as everyone who fol-
lows it knows. But a Washington gentleman,
who has been reading DR.. Wileys prescriptions,
observed the expert the other night in a Wash
ington cafe famous for its specialtes in the food
line Was the doctor practicing what he preach
ed? Not a bit of it. His meal consisted of two
large imperial crabs, one large steak with trim
mings a special salad and some mugs OF musty
ale
If that meal is not calculated TO raise the
temperature OF the doctors body and the sus-
picions of his ptomaine poisoning squad we miss
our guess. The man who had observed the doc
tor in his feast went home and read the latest
bulletin of the food expert, which says Thou
sands of people are made sick in summer because
they do not give thought to what they eat"
The truth is that most people, il their health
is fairly good give no more care to what they
eat than they do to applying religious precepts TO
everyday life.

Our Dentist as Our Friend

New York American.
Our dentist is our best doctor. When
the teeth are kept in healthy order ones
digestion is good; when they are decayed
we suffer from indigestion, and when we
have that complaint the world never ltoks
bright.
So it Is that civilizations best friends
are the dental surgeons who. on Monday,
began their national conven'lsn at Bos-
ton. The brightest Of that professloa's tall
ent are there to read papers. hear reports
Of new discoveries and to dis uss ethical
features of their vocation. The conven-
ton is being more largely attended than
any of its kind ever held.
America, for half century, las led m
the science Of dentistry just as America
has led in surgery. We are behind both
France and Germany in the science Of
chemistry, pathology and hygiehe. but in
advanced dentistry abdominal surgery,
the care of flesh wounds. we lead the
world.
Centuries ago the village blacksmith
was the village dentist When a tooth
ached there was one remedy only, and
that was to pull it. But nowadays dental
work has so advanced that no one need
lose a molar. Even when tooth has
reached an advanced stage of decay it
may be saved.
And modern machinery, harmless anaes-
thetcs, the application Of cocaine and
eucalyptus, viii permit a dental surgeon
to work uninterruptedly in the mouth,
without pain to the patient. The old fear
one used to have for the forceps and the
scalpel has died away, and the average
person walks as unconcernedly to a dem
lists chair as to a seat in a car.
Whent we have good teeth as a rule
we have good health, and when we have
