Proper Care of the Chill
dren'S Teeth.
BY DR.. c. +. Crouch.

The proper care of the children's
teeth is of the. utmost Importance
and while it is fact that the tenn
porary teeth will be lost it is never
theless true that their neglect may
bring about more serious results
than the same neglect of the perma-
nent teeth.
AS soon as the first tooth is well
erupted the use of the mouth rag
should be supplemented by that of a
soft brush, and with this and clear
water (into which has been added
a few drops of Prophylaxis Mouth
Wash) the teeth should be carefully
brushed every day.
Immediately upon their full erup-
ton the surfaces which are in con-
tact with each other should be pol
ished daily by means of suitable floss
silk.
When the child has reached an
age at which it will not swallow
everything that is put into it's mouth
prophylaXis dentrifice cream should
be used on the brush once or twice
day.
If the teeth were perfectly formed
when erupted this care should keep
them in perfect condition, provided
always that the proper diet has been
insisted upon.
Little children should not be al
lowed to eat candy or other sweets.
If there is any agent which will ruin
infants teeth more quickly and more
seriously than condensed milk it is
not known to the writer.
Unless there is evidence of such
necessity the child need not be taken
to the dentist until it is two years
and a half old. At that age the
teeth should be carefully examined
by him, and again every three or four
months.
However, if at any time dark
stains accumulate upon the teeth
near the margin of the gums they
should be polished off. It is abso-
lutely essential that all surfaces be
kept clean and bright.
The decay of these temporary
teeth insures the child untold dis
comfort and pain, and usually inte,-
feres with the proper eruption of the

SOME CENSUS FIGURES.
Facts Shown by Advance Figures of
the Enumeration.

LliC l11uiAiNA ftAACAA~
The indication from the census
figures so far compiled is that the
tendency of the population to drift
to the cities is slightly less, but has
not yet been effectively checked by
the considerably better wages now
to be obtained on the farms than
formerly
The statisticians in the census
office report that while the drift is
still toward the cities it is not quite
so marked as it was ten years ago.
The advance census figures indi-
cate that sixty names will be AIDED
to the list of municipalities having a
population of twenty-five thousand
and upward. There were leo names
on this list, according to the last
census. Now the list will be so long
that the minimum for honorable
mention may be raised to fifty thou

FROG IN WOMAN's STOMACH.

Mrs. Guy Weaver of Toledo, Ohio,
is recovering from her illness of
many months, during which she was
suffering from a stomach trouble the
nature of which baffled her physi-
clans. 1t was caused, it is now said,
by the presence of a frog in her
stomach, which was removed by a

brownish yellow in color, and is
about two inches long. 1t was a
lively specimen, and straightway
demonstrated its kinship with it's
brothers and sisters of ponds and

Dr. Richardson declared that in Fall

At the same time DR.. Richardson
said that there were isolated cases
of infantile paralysis reported from

In a report to the state board of
health and published in the Boston

Robert W. LOvett of Boston said of
this now dread disease: "The dis

order. The death rate resulting

as follows:

been relegated to the background, to
make way for the dingy and damaged
works Of other years. De Longpre says
there are faults galore in the old paint
ings, and It is reasonable to believe
that heroic efforts running through
centuries have developed the art OF
painting in some respects, II not in all.
Yet It is hardly fair to say that the
public is entirely to blame. The taste
cultivated in the first place be-
cause of the homage which artists have
themselves paid to the painters who
have gone before. We believe there
is less tendency than formerly to dis
credit the work Of modern painters Of
admitted ability and to encourage ar
lists Of today it ought not to be neces-
sary to discard the art Of the past
that has endured so well.
