Portland, Ore, Jan. 29.-Pretty little
noses of pretty women dining in one
of the fashionable downtown grills
were turned up into the air Saturday
night. Then there was a rush for the
exits by fashionable gowns and hatless
men, even the walters and bartenders
joining in the dash for open air. 1t
all came about when a logger stepped
into the grill room dressed in his rough
clothing. A waiter suggested that he
leave. Instead he reached into a gunny
sack which he carried and drew out a
little black and white animal, known as
the polecat, whirled it against the bar
and himself dashed away. The place
was closed for the night.

1t has been stated that fully rs per cent.

This habit is usually acquired during the early
years OF childhood and carried on during ones
whole life.

their children eat slowly and chew their food
properly. Nature has placed these teeth in

them we are inviting conditions that seriously
threaten our health and general welfare
Diseases of the nose and mouth have a
great influence upon the dental arch of the
mouth. particularly adenoid growths in the
nose. II the nose is filled up with these ade-
nods the free passage of air along the nasal
membranes becomes obstructed and results
in the child becoming what is known as a
mouth breather." In this change from the
normal physiological nasal breathing the den
tai arch is deformed and irregular teeth is
the result. Many of these are deplor-
able, for It not only impairs the ability of the
individual to masticate food properly, but It
interferes with the voice and changes the
whole facial appearance OF the person. An
other deplorable condition due to these nasal
growths is the effect they may have on the
mentality Of the child. They become stupid
forgetful, inattentive and lack the power of
mental concentration. This is caused by
these growths obstructing the Emphatic cir

During the days when baby is wrestling
with Its first teeth the young mother seeks
aid in such contrivances as rubber rings and
pac1ners, permitting the little one to chew
them ad libitum, believing that they promote
natures efforts and assist the child during the
dentition period. Her good neighbors have
told her all about these adjuncts to teeth cut
ting and the wonderful results that they have
obtained through their The mother does
not realize that all these contriyances are
dangerous to the health and well-beng of her
child. often being the means of introducing
some serious contagious or Infectious disease
OF a most dangerous character. 1t has been
found that rubber rings pacifers are bac-
terfa carriers. being loaded with germs of
most yirulent type. Even II cleaned and ster-
flized there is another reason why they should
never be used They deform the mouth. The
dental tissues OF the infant are soft and yield

distorts the mouth and gums frequently re-
sulting In what is known as mal-occlusion Of
the teeth, a condition where the upper and
lower sets do not properly meet.
The sixth year molar Is the most important
~of all teeth 1t is often lost because parents
frequently think that it is one of the tempo
rary set This error is due to the fact that
1t Is cut while most of the first set of teeth
are in the mouth. When this tooth is lost ma
ture makes an attempt to close the space with
the result that the entire articulation is de-
stroyed The space thus created between the
teeth is difficult to keep clean, due to the food
particles being forced into these spaces. Its
loss is also one of the chief causes of irregu-
larities Of the other erupting teeth 1t is the
belief Of the entire dental profession that the
early loss OF this tooth is responsible for more
misplaced teeth and ill-shaped jaws than any
other condition of the mouth.
Every mother should become familiar with
the location of this important tooth. Begin

sixth tooth cut. The mother should carefully
watch for any defects found in this tooth. and
II cavities are located they should be repaired
at in order that the usefulness of the
tooth can be saved.

The teeth should never be neglected. It is
as essential to keep them clean as 1t is neces-
sary for us to eat. They should be thoroughly
brushed with medium brtstle brush three
times day. Most people brush them In a
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
10 the teeth. Next use the brush without any
powder or 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 1T 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 fore,pn
substances are removed. In order to be sure
that no particles remain even after this treat
ment. IL is necessary to pass silk dental floss
between the teeth. Very frequently If the floss
becomes ragged or breaks. It is guide to

selecting a tooth paste or powder be cure m

In order to obtain a clean mouth and have
good teeth and health It is necessary that vo,,
should have your dentist look over your teeth

and give you much comfort. Missing teeth
greatly impair the PROPER chewing of food. II
