SAvANTS DISCUSS
CHILDREN'S TEETH
Declare Preservation of Dental
Structure Paramount in
Health of Scholars

definite move toward the better
nent of the conditions of San Francis
cos school children was made by the
Woman's public health association at a
meeting yesterday. when the initial
steps were taken toward the establish
ment of dental clinics in connection
with the public schools. DR.. J. G.
Sharp. dean OF the college of dentistry;
DR.. Guy S. Mulberry. superintendent of
the clinics of the college of dentistry
of the state university, and DR.. E. B.
Hoag, medical dirctor of the Berkeley
schools, were present, and each gave
addresses which explained thoroughly
the situation and gave some startling
facts to those present.
Doctor Sharp was the first speaker and
said that of all the branches OF school
hygiene he considered the care of the
teeth the most important; in fact, he
considered it second 10 life only. He
told of the advanta ges and necessity of
healthy mouths for systemic as well as
local reasons. Oral hygiene, he de-
clared, should be taught in schools,
compulsory care of the teeth inaugu-
rated, and particularly means devised
for care of the teeth.
DENTAL CARE PARAMOUNT
Doctor Hoag in his capacity as medical
director has had unusual advantages
for observing the ills of youth, and he
| said yesterday that if any one thing
might be done in caring for the health
of the child he would take care of the
teeth. although he himself had not had
dental training He showed that
through bad teeth come indigestion and
| all manner of infectious diseases. The
decayed tooth is, he said, splendid
incubating oven for any disease germ.
He spoke of the necessity of instruct
| ing teachers in actual systematic care
| of the teeth rather than the structure
! in order that they may teach the chill
| dren of it's value and enforce the rules
Doctor Hoag scored the system of
medical inspection of the public schools
| of San Francisco. which, he said, was
"miserably inadequate"
| Doctor Mulberry said that the prob
lem is largely one of enlightenment and
that dentists as well as school teachers
and parents need this enlightening as
| to the Importance of keeping the chill
dren's teeth in order. He declared that
| too little time is given to the education
of the ordinary dentist and that an ef-
| fort is being made TO raise the standard
of the profession in San Francisco.
FAyORS HARVARD METHODS
He then told something of the con-
duct and methods of dental clinics and
suggested the possibility Of the inaugu-
ration of a system maintained at Har-
ward university. A number of the
| dentists of the city of Boston give a

BASE BALL

The Syracuse team played here
last Sunday, and the game was the
best exhibition of good ball We have
yet seen on the home grounds. The
game was a tie until the Sd inning,
when Point Pleasant squeezed in
two runs, much to the delight of the
fans. This score stood until the
latter part of the sth when Syracuse
by brilliant work at the bat put two
runs over the plate, amid much ex--
element. Harrison was substituted
for Dashner, in the pitchers box in
the 9th and the visitors were banked
but the home team went them one
better in this half of the inning and
the agony was over, the final score
being s to in favor of Point Pleas
ant. Dashner was in the box for
the home team, striking out . men,
Duckworth for Syracuse tanning 5
men. The grounds are in splendid
condition and visitors are highly
pleased, now that they can see the
game, the crowds being kept within
the line.

WRONG BODY IS
SENT RELATIVES
FAMILY WAIT AND MOURN FOR LOST
ONE ONLY TO FIND COFFIN DID NOT
CONTAIN HIM.

Parkersburg, W. Va, July Is
There has been sorrow in the home
of Mrs. Ester Calvin here since the
receipt of word that her son had been
killed last Friday night in railroad
accident at Curtin, this state. They
tearfully awaited the arrival of the
remains and today when the casket
arrived it was opened in the little
home. To the surprise of Mrs. Gal
win and family it was found the body
was not that of her son, but that of
an unknown man. Whether Calvin
was really killed and some mistake
made in forwarding the casket, or
whether it was case of mistaken
identification has not developed. The
remains were takenfo local morSue
pending an investigation further in
to the case.

LEGACY FROM SWEET.
HEART.
GETS sl,SOO IF SHE PROVES HER IDEN-
TITY.

Sistersville, W. Va, July 2e.-
Miss Margaret Gillespie, a well
known young woman of Pleasant
county, will, within the next few
days, be the recipient of a legacy
which amounts to about 81, 500,
which has been left her by former
sweetheart, if she is able to prove
her identity TO the Fidelity Title &
Trust Co., ofPittsburg, which is the
will of the late F. ]. Doyle, of Pitts
burg. An attorney who represents
the executor of the will has been
here for the past three or four days,
looking for Miss Gillespie, and finally
located her at her home back of St.
Marys, with the result that he got
into communication with her and she
IS now on her way to PittSburg for
the purpose of establishing her claim
to the fortune which has been be-
queathed to her by her erstwhile
sweetheart.
1t seems that several years ago
when Miss Gillespie was in Pitts
burg, employed at one of the depart,
ment stores of that city, she and
Doyle became acquainted and were
sweethearts for several years. The
young woman finally became i'll and
returned to her home in Pleasants
county. They kept up a correspon-
dence for time, but finally quit writ,
ing, and Miss Gillespie next went to
Cleveland and from there to several
other towns, finally returning to her
home again some time ago, where
she has been located since.
On May S last, Doyle, who was
in the employ ef an electric company
of Chicago, died at the Mercy hos,
pital in Pittsburg, and when his will
was opened it was found that he haG
made Miss Gillespie his heir. So fal
as the executor of the will has beer
able to ascertain he has no other liv,
ing relatives, so that the entire es'
tate, which amounts to almost se,'
900, will go to her.
