CIVILIZATION AND TEETH
Is It True That the Race of Man Is
 Failing off Dcntaily:

From the Buffalo Enquirer.
 Wise ones may know what they are about when they tell us how much better prehistoric man took care of himself and how much better off uncivilized man is than the modern man who wears trous- CTS and knows his B Cs. However, some of the unwise will suspect the wise of forgetting reason to help their argu- nlent.
 Here is a writer who fears that the American people are losing their teeth What moves Us to take better care oi cur teeth is good. but when the writer attempts to cite the mound builders to US he exposes himself to the slkepticism Of those who make no pretence of learn ing.
 Says the writer; "The mound builders skull has massive and symmetrical jaws for the reason that each jaw contains 1G teeth, well developed and we'll worn by much usage, but intact, free from decay, and held in place by strong roots The present-dsy skull rarely, if ever, con- tains g teeth
 The ignoramus is disposed to regard it as highly probable that one reason the mound builders skull has IS teeth in each jaw is because the unfortunate fel- low had no dentist to pull them out when they ached like thunder. That theory probably shares the truth with the idea that he preserved his teeth by matter of course obedience to natures laws.
 Says the same writer: 'The savage man and the wild beast of the forest have no use for tooth brush or for denti- frices. The primitive man masticates his food instinctively He does not have tc be told to F'letcherize any more than does the orang-outang or the chimpanzee.'
 The simpeton at this point is disposed to Inquire if savage man and monkeys really Fletcherze. He has the fancy that they chew their food to the point that permits them to gulp it, and no more Savage mans food, to be sure. is pretty tough. and of necessity he must do con- siderable chewing, but the srnpleton must be assured the second time before he believes that savage man or the orang- outang reduces his food to impalatable powder before swallowing it.
 Says the same authority: "The mouth and teeth should be thoroughly cleansed before and after each meal At least twice a day the teeth and gums should

Charles w. Ferguson
Candidate Judge City Court of Birmingh ham.

Six years ago Charles ". Ferguson was elected Judge of the City Court of Birmingham without opposition Relying on the faithful discharge of his duties, and upon democratic GUS tom and usage he seeks reelection to that office. His qualifications are in disputable and his diligence unsur- passed.
 Judge Ferguson is courteous gen tleman, whether on the bench, on the street or in private life. He is broad minded and tolerant of all men s views, a generous contributor to every charity, and ever ready to assist 8 worthy cause. He is a friend in need to all who need friend and would rather do favor than ask one.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-04-03

Judge Ferguson is man who wins the confidence and respect of men by his integrity, and their friendship by his sincerity. It is his modesty and not his pride that prevents him from pressing his claims upon public attention.
 Judge Ferguson recognizes the fact that the duties. of, his office require that he continue to hold court daily, and he gives this as the reason why he has not called upon the voters personally, and he trusts that they will appreciate his position and favor ably remember him in the primary He asks an indorsement for a second term.

 Sociology. if it is to deserve the name of science, must soon turn itself to a quantitative and qualitative analysis and synthesis of certain phenomena which now go about unattached, unsheaved, as 1t were.
 For instance, how many freaks does it take to make one fad? How many fads to make fashion? How many eranks must be gathered together in one place before we have a cult? What relation does a cult bear to a movement? What is the comparative proportion of ideas to each of the categories here mentioned?
 The permutations and combinations of these tentative queiries are Infinite.
