WHY THE TEETH DECAY
Here's One Authority Who Lays It to
 Lime Starvation

"The almost universal decay of the teeth is proof positive that our nation is suffering lime starvation" writes chem istry lecturer in the Detetic and Hygienic Gazette, 1855 per cent of the school ,chii- dren of Louisville have badly decayed teeth.
 Our dentists prescribe tooth washes and tooth pastes, advocate local hygene, fill cavities and fit bridges. and all this time ignore the fact that the basic cause is lime starvation.
 Dentists will tell you that the sugar you take in your mouth acts directly upon your teeth. Dentists shut their eyes to the evident fact that decay starts first in the pulp beneath the intact enamel and honeycombs the interior tooth until the shell-like bridge of enamel breaks be- heath the strain.
 ''The enamel gives absolute protection against the external attacks Of acids and sugar I have immersed sound teeth for months in a solution of fruit acids ana sugar, and have been unable to detect any erosion of either the enamel or the pulp. s.
 "When you eat sweetmeats. the sugar. with it's irresistible affinity for soluble lime. combines with the calcium of sthe blood and the blood retaliates by sapping the soluble from the pulp and substance of the teeth. Druggists make use of this affinity of soluble lime for sugar when preparing the official syrup of lime Lime forms solution 8 times stronger in simple syrup than in the same quantity of water If you want your children .o nave sound, white teeth, see that their diet is rich in lime and poor in sugar."

SNOW AND THE SNOW LINE
Some Cooling Facts for Midsummer
 Consideration

From the Independent.
 Tn sonic mountain ranges the depth or each winters snowfall is astonishing. Sixty feet per annum is ct tmmon in the middle mountain zones of the Sierras, the Cascades and the Selllrks
 At St. Bernard, in the Alps, the annual deposit is from 25 to 30 feet This is twice the depth that annually crowns the Rocky mountains.
 However the snowfall in the Rocky mountains varies greatly in different To- calities. Near Crested Butte, in Colorado. at an altitude of 10000 feet, the annual fall commonly is more than 10 feet deep. The state of Massachusetts appears t0 have an average annual fall of five feet.
 Although the climate of the earth has really not changed for centuries, some locality occasionally receives snow or surprising and sometimes a deadly depth. Much of New England appears to have been mantled with the tGreat Snow OF 1717."
 The I-te Indians have a tradition of a very snowy winter that came less than a century ago. For weeks the snow lay -four ponies deep and during this time m,ich of the bi5 game perished. Any place upon which snow falls may expect occasionally a snow of extraordinary depth.
 Latitude and altitude are the principal factors which determine the melting of snow However, local influences may greatly modify these. Snow is likely to melt slowly in place that has heavy pre- cipitation and it will melt rapidly In a Locality that is swept by dry winds.
 The effect of local influences may be illustrated by citing results in New Eng land and Montana. With equal latitude, Montana having a mile greater altitude can commonly retain a snow only one third of the time of New England, simply because it Is swept by dry winds. In Montana the Chinook wind occasionally removes a foot or more of snow in |, single day. Naturally the Indians nam d the Chinook the snow eater"
 Thus the snow line, the realm of per petual snow, is chiefly determined by lat
 tude, annual precipitation, winds and some minor factors. In the Rocky moun- tains this line is broken and difficult to approximately determine; it is, however, above the altitude of 13,000 feet. In the Alps it is definite at 5000 feet while around Puget Sound it drops below 5000 feet. Advancing northward along the Pacific coast this line descends lower and lower until in the realm of furthest north perpetual snowdrifts dot the tun- dras only few feet above the surface of the sea.

Some Wonderful Old People

Margaret E. Sangster, writing of youth and old age in the August Woman's Home Companion, says:
 "Oliver Wendell Holmes, who retained youth in it's sparkling efflorescence to the very end: Edward Everett Hale, whose benignant wisdom and humor never suf- fered the slightest diminution; Julia Ward Howe, as exquisite in age as she had been charming in youth; Rebecca Harding Davis. strong, cultured and sincere through all the years till the last one came, are fine examples of the imperish- able vitality of youth beneath the mask of age. There are plenty of people on the stage still, living and working and serving in the ranks, but they need no mention. As they look in the mirror. time. peeping over their shoulders, gives them glance of friendly greeting-time. the immortal, always young, always old, always going forward"
