The Dental Hygiene Exhibit.

A German scientist has figured
that the bacteria in neglected
mouth must number on the average
]. l40.o00. 600. The immediate result
is that with each mouthful of food
goes down into the vulnerable di-
gestive tract an army of mischief
makers. The ultimate result IS pre-
mature death.
The art Of the dentist is as old as
The hills. The history of the art Is
extremely interesting, and 1t shows
that the ancients were not without
skill and ingenuity in repairing IN
iuries due TO scorching on the
chariot roads and hurdling the line
in football games. But in most OF
the histories of dentistry the reader
viii find toward the end state
nent running something like this;
THE dentistry OF the United States
has i'm recent times become specially
celebrated" Either that ends the
article. as is The case with the old
fashioned foreign encyclopedias. or
else it begins a chapter rejecting
The highest credit on the energy
and ability of American dentists.
There are stiII ON exhibition in
the Harvard Dental School. we be-
lfeve. some of the instruments Of
torture used by the dental Practi-
TONER i'm this country less than
century ago. The art did not hurry
across TO this country after the
landing at jamestown or at Ply
mouth, and. indeed, there must be
people still in the land of the liv-
ING who can recall some visits to
the muscular blacksmith who re-
moved teeth as the farrier of today
removes horseshoes.
Yet short as the bridge Is that
leads 10 those brutal, bunghng
DAVIS. now the expert American
practitioner not only makes and re
pairs teeth neatly and (sometimes)
painlessly. not only proves himself
indeed a genuine beauty doctor
with his clever means of correcting
misshapen growth, but he also
spreads abroad his excellent ideas
ON the subject of dental hygiene,
and. in the company of the advanced
medical practitioner aims to pre-
vent as well as TO cure disease.
The skill and progressyeness
characterizing American dentistry
are we'll illustrated in an unusual
and educational exhibit now under
Nvav in Boston. The exhibit is in
tended primarily to reach classes
of people that have hitherto been
careless as to their teeth, and par
ticularlv the teeth of children. No
doubt even among those utterly un-
acquainted with dental advance
ment there has been an instructive
feeling that the prevalent decay of
teeth was all wrong or needless. So
il is. for the most part; and llnowl-
edge of how 10 care for the teeth
ought to be part of the common
schol training. Otherwise ignorance
VIII remain, and, along with it, dis
ease and misery.
One of the lecturers in this Bos-
ton course has told a story of a
little girl, who, for lack of proper
attention. mus lose her lower jaw,
and. before long, her life. This is
probably an extreme and eNcep-
tional case, but it is well known. or
should be. that there are countless
everyday cases demanding attention
which, if given, would profit the
community in general.

Who Owns These Estrays?

The list Of brands of estrays for
1907, which is being published by the
River Press. represents q large num-
Der OF animals whose owners are un-
known, the market returns for them
having been forwarded to the state
board OF stock commissioners. These
returns are a awaiting claimants, who
q secure payment upon making pro.
per proof of ownership Of the animals
described. Application should be
made to Secretary w. G. Preuitt,
Helena, Mont, giving the number at.
tached to the description as it appears
in the list. and such information az
may be necessary to prove ownership.
As q large proportion of these es-
trays were shipped from northern
Montana points, they are believed to
have been the property of ranchers
and stockmen In this part of the state.
It is suggested that parties who dis.
cover In the list q brand which they
recognize as belonging to come other
person, can perform q neighborly act
by calling his attention to the fact
that there is some estray money COM
ing to him.
