DECAY OF THE TEETH.
Inspection of School Children Show
 Alarming State of Affairs.

Of all the physical ailments to which the human race is subject, de- cay of the teeth is, perhaps, the most general and widespread. This is true at least of modern times. for exam ination of ancient skulls has shown that although the ancients suffered from decaying teeth, they did not suffer to such an extent as We do to- day. The examination of the school children of the present day betrays an appalling state of affairs in this regard.
 We know that the tooth itself is covered with a shield of enamel which is intended to remain intact and preserve the dentine, or real tooth material, from the assaults of harmful germs formed in the mouth principally by reason of the lodgment of particles of food between the teeth or in small depressions and dents Certain kinds of food, especially su- gars and starchy foods, if allowed to remain in contact with the teeth, set up an acid fermentation, during which the bacteria which are produced lit orally feed upon the teeth, first eat ing away the enamel, and when that is gone, borrowing down into the dentine until the pulp of the tooth is exposed. As soon as they reach the nerve of the tooth, a terrible tooth ache announces the fact.
 There are three causes behind all this trouble-improper food, wrong ways of eating and lack of cleanli- ness. The mistake of serving too much over-cooked, soft food is re- sponsible for much of the trouble, and this is just as true for little children as it is for adults. The teeth were given to us to bite with and to chew with. and if they are defrauded Of their natural work, they become unhealthy.
 In addition to this, certain articles of food, such as raw apples and nuts, which call for mastication before swallowing. are absolutely cleansing in their effect upon the teeth. Me chanically, they remove masses of soft decomposing material Besides this, masticating promotes the flow of saliva, which, in it's turn, helps the growth of the good germs which are needed to fight the bad ones, for il should be remembered when it is said that the mouth is always full of bacteria that the good germs are making a brave fight there as well as everywhere else in the body.
 Finally a toothbrush should be the first birthday present, and it's regu- lar and persistent use should be made a most important part of the child's early training A simple alkaline tooth wash or cream should be used once a day, and the dentist should be consulted at regular intervals, be- cause there is no matter in which prevention is so surely better than curse as in the care of the teeth Youths Companion.

A Correction and an Apology.

Relying upon information receiv-

grounds that there had been a falling

services and a consequent diminu-
ton In collections.
