OUR COASTAL CITIES
Greedy Atlantic Said to Be Slow.
" EnguIfing Them.
Government oeoIogist Declares That
In Time Coast Cities From Bos-
ton to New Orleans Will
Be Under Water.

Boston.-The time will come when
that coast line of the United States
which boasts such cities as New York.
Boston, Baltimore, Washington and
Galveston will be 800 miles out to sea
and those cities win have been sub
merged. The whole Atlantic coast is
slowly sinking into the ocean. So rap
Id is the sinking that evidences OF 1t
and measurements of it within the last
decade are now to be had. That the
rate of the sinking Is being accel-
Grated, and that it may be much fast
er in the future than 1t has been In
the past is the claim made by c. A.
Davis, government geologist, who has
Of late been piling up masses OF eyt-
dence In this connection.
He holds that there is no need on
the part of the residents of the coast
cities to scramble to the housetops
today or tomorrow. But, as sure az
the geologic tendencies which have
gone on unchanged for hundreds Of
thousands of years and are now at
work continue. the people Of the ma
tons great eastern cities will be grad
ually pulled beneath the water level
Biologists have long recognized the
fact that the Atlantic coast line was
once much farther out than 1t is now.
There is line from 100 to 800 miles
on the present coast at which the wa
ter suddenly gets much deeper. Out
to that distance the water is generally
some 800 feet deep. Then 1t plunges
suddenly and becomes ten times as
far to the ocean bottom. The men OF
the coast survey have traced this line
throughout the length Of our coast line
and find 1t similar all along. The ge-
ologists say that the continent once
reached out this far and that here was
the coast line. But gradual de-
cline through the ages has caused that
line to retreat until now 1t Is where
we know 1t.
From a geological standpoint this
has happened in comparatively recent
times. II has all been done since the

The teeth should never be neglected 1t is
essential to keep them clean as IT is neces-
sary for US to eat. They should be thoroughly
brushed with a medium bristle brush three
times day. Most people brush them in
very perfunctory sort of way, applying the
brush horizontally. This does not remove the
small particles Of food between the teeth and
fermentation and decay results. The proper
way is to first rinse the mouth with water
that has been slightly warmed This washes
away many of the food particles that adhere
to the teeth. Next use the brush without any
powder OF paste to dislodge any food that
may still remain on the teeth; then apply your
powder or paste by means Of the tooth brush
and thoroughly use II along the teeth with the
cross motion usually applied with the brush
to the teeth You must also brush upward and
downward, inward and outward, then back
ward and forward. In this way all foreign
substances are removed In order to be sure
that no particles remain even after this treat
ment 1t is necessary to pass silk dental floss
between the teeth. Very frequently II the floss
becomes ragged or breaks. It Is a guide to
some defect existing in the tooth surfaces. In
selecting tooth paste or powder be sure to
secure product free from acid or grit. ~
In order to obtain clean mouth and have
good teeth and health 1t is necessary that you
should have your dentist look over your teeth
at least twice year. You are not able to
locate small cavities with your hand mirror
and your dentist has every appliance for do
ing so. Do not think that because tooth has
decayed It cannot be saved; the roots of teeth
DO not decay. and the dentist, with the aid of
Filings and crowns. can repair these structures
and give you much comfort. Missing teeth
greatly impair the proper chewing of food. II
is here that the dentist can be Of important
service to you
Many mothers think that It IL useless 10

the permanent ones win appear with some ree.

teeth every day with weak solution Of bo-

the American nation could be divided into two
classes boilers and chewers, with the boilers
leading by large majority. Dr. H. G. Sex
ton of Shelbyville Ind, at a meeting OF the
Indiana Dental association, delivered an inter-
esting address In which he deplored this habit
and advised that q national movement should
be organized to be known as the chewing
movement" He said: "The education Of the
average man, woman and child has been sadly
neglected They have not been taught to use
their teeth When we bolt our food we ignore
one of the most important ferments, ptyalin,
IN our saliva, that has much TO DO In the
process Of digestion. But the American habit
is to spit and Americans are the greatest spit
tiers Of the world. Between meals they VIII
spit out the invaluable saliva, then when they
eat they wash down every unchewed bolus OF
food with copious draughts Of water, coffee, or
in summer iced tea. What foolish, disgust
ing habit II is and more than foolish. more
than disgusting It is killing in Its hurtfulness
1t has been stated that fully 75 per cent.
Of the people Of this country bolt their food.
This habit is usually acquired during the early
years of childhood and carried on during ones
whole life.
1t should be the duty of al parents to make
their children eat slowly and chew their food
properly. Nature has placed these teeth In
