Germs In the Teeth.

Everybody knows in general way
how important 1t is to give the teeth
a good cleaning and to rinse the mouth
out first thing in the morning. The
object, of course, IS to remove the ac-
emulation Of bacteria which gathers
on the teeth, gums, tongue and palate
during the hours Of sleep. How many
germs do You suppose accumulate dur
ing the nights sleep7 In answer to
this question E. G. Bousfeld, writing
in the London Lancet, gives some in
teresting and rather startling figures,
which are worth quoting. He states
that he has found the mouth on wax
ing In the morning to obtain about
3,0000 000,O00 bacteria capable of being
removed by iiyefold rinsing with
twenty-five cubic centimeters of water
each time. After ordinary washing Of
the teeth with a hard toothbrush
about one-fourth the number could
still be rinsed away. After using
tooth pastesonly 12o,000,000 were left.

FIND NEW SHRUB
WITH MUCH PROMISE
South American Product May Turn
Out to Be Great Sugar
Producing Plant.

It has been suggested that what
may turn out to be the great sugar
producing plant of the future is
dwarfish shrub found in South Amer
lea. It's botanical name is Eupatorium
rebandium, and, it is said, the results
of careful experiments indicate that
it yields sugar from twenty to thirty
times as sweet as ordinary cane or
beet sugar. One advantage claimed
for the sugar derived from this plant
is that it occupies, in proportion to it's
sweetening powers, less than one
twentieth of the bulk of ordinary
cane sugar.
The world today uses more than
twice the amount of sugar that it did
quarter Of a century ago. The peo-
pie of the United States consume a
great deal more sugar, in one form or
another, than those of any other ma
ton. 1t is surprising to learn that in
Europe sugar was used at first only
at feasts and for medicinal purposes.
At the close of the seventeenth cen
fury the sugar industry in France was
monopoly controlled by the apothe-
carries. Its Introduction as an article

suspended floral bells, Rev. Johnathan
Lee, pastor of the West Side Baptist

words which united the happy couple
for life. Rev. Lee is veteran in the
tying of nuptial knots, having per-
formed over nine hundred marriage
ceremonies. At the close of the pray

arrangement, showering the roses down
upon the bride and groom. After
congratulations bountiful wedding
