L q v
We DO not see Is many sets, Of an
tifcial teeth today as We did twenty
years ago, since It has been learned
that there Is no substitute that viii
equal the natural organs. IN the time
! Of our grandfathers, II a tooth ached
It was Immediately extracted, and It
was common sight to see many peo.
pie going about with a large number
Of teeth out. So much was this the
case that 1t became a matter Of alarm
among some Of the scientists lest the
human race was to become toothIess.
Nowadays. with improved methods.
there Is little excuse for anyone to
lose single tooth.
In those. mouths where only few
teeth are lost, and bridgework can.
( not be used, it is desirable to use the
partial plate. This can be used With.
I out the extraction Of any more tee b.
1t simply fills III the gaps caused BY
the loss Of the teeth which have al
ready been removed. II these plates
are carefully fitted and the adjoining
teeth well matched, they VIII do very
well in the matter Of appearance.
When there are very few natural
teeth in the mouth, and these in bad
condition, 1t is often better to remove
all the remaining teeth and have full
4 plates inserted, Especially is this
true where the gums are badly dis.
eased, and the teeth are loosened BY
pYorrhea. ON the extraction Of the
teeth this disease usually disappears.
Within the last few years there
have been many improvements in the
process Of making plates, especially in
the method Of taking the Impression
of the mouth, and OF arranging the
teeth. The scientific principles under
Lying the movement OF the jaw have
been worked out, with the result that
new apparatus and new moulds Of
teeth were required. This anatomical
farticulatioH, as 1t is called, produces
far better results than the old process.
There is greater ability to. thoroughly
chew the food, the teeth At better and
are much better in appearance.
In the making of artificial teeth,
care should be observed in selecting
the proper form and color Of the teeth
to be used. Patients often demand
small, white, even teeth, hoping thus
to improve their appearance. The re.
suit is likely to happen in such cases
that the teeth present a ghastly ap.
pearance. The color of the teeth and
the form depend largely upon the col.
or of the hair and eyes, and other
characteristics. The size should cor.
respond to the size of the jaw. Many
people initiate quite successfully their
natural teeth by having the artificial
Teeth slightly irregular, as were their
own teeth before they were lost.

RIGHT USES OF TooTHpIcK
Little implement, Employed Regularly
3s.Sahd Carefully, Does Maeh to
! Preserve the Teeth.

One Of the products of civilization
is the toothpick. So far as we know
the savage does not indulge this hab.
it except as he learns it from the edu.
Gated races. There are very few parts
of the world where the teeth are i'm.
mune from decay, so the lack Of its
use is not because of the lack OF need.
The reason is probably that the say.
age has no thought of the care Of the
teeth, and doubtless he is not an,
noyed by the particles of food which
crowd between his teeth. There are
some who, for politeness sake, deplore
the use Of the toothpick. While 1t ia
not an article to use at all times and
at all places, to discard it altogether
would prove disastrous.
The best toothpick is one Of quill.
its flexibility, and the ease with which
1t is used making it ideal. The OBJ.
lection to the wooden toothpick is
that 1t is bulky and liable to injure
the gum tissue and the delicate mem.
brane surrounding the tooth; It some.
times sliyers,. producing wounds and
Inflammation in the gums. The metal
toothpick is also inadvisable, and the
habit of using pins and other metallic
instruments as toothpicks. should be-
condemned. IN using a toothpick care
should be taken; tits not enough that
the food be removed, but also that it
be removed gently. The gum which
grows between the teeth has a very
valuable use and should not be crowd.
ed out. Occasionally we find one
whose teeth are so perfect in shape
and the gum tissue so healthy that the
toothpick is unnecessary, but for the
ordinary individual too much stress
cannot be laid on the need of its use
and the care which is necessary.
Where the teeth are filled, care should
be taken not to use force, and there.
by break of particles of enamel next
to the filling or otherwise injure the
filing, and the habit Of chewing a
toothpick is bad one.
In using the pick often one may find
a tooth which gives evidence Of pain.
In such a case it is we'll to learn at
once whether or not there is a cavity
forming in the tooth. Often, too, the
pick will give you first knowledge of
tartar accommodating about the necks
of the teeth, and when this is dlscoy.
'+eFed haste should be made to have it
removed. This you cannot do with
the brush; the only way is can be re-:
moved is with the aid of special in.
struments. BY allowing the tartar to
accumulate, you run the risk of con.
tracing that dread disease known as
pyorrhea.
Thus we find that the toothpick is
indeed valuable instrument when
rightly used. and if it is employed
after each meal we will derive much
satisfaction from the comfort it gives
US, as well as protection from decay,

Commits schrank to Asylum.

John Schrank, the New York man,
who shot Colonel Roosevelt was COM
mitted by Judge A. c. Backus in Mil
waukee, Wis, to the Northern Hospi-
tai for the Insane at Oshkosh.
This disposition of the case was
taken after the commission of five
aIienists had filed it's report declaring
Schrank insane and after ten or twelve
witnesses had given testimony in con-
nection with the shooting.
The conclusions of the report signed
by the alienists follow:
First - John Schrank is suffering
from insane delusions, grandiose in
character and of a systematic variety.
"Second-In our opinion, he is in
sane at the present time.
''Third-On account of the connec-
ton between his delucions an the act
with which he stands charged, we are
of the opinion he is unable to confer
lntelligently with counsel on the con
duct of his defense"

Man and Wife Shot; Hunter Arrested.
Riddled with buckshot as the result
of being shot by an infuriated hunter
after their automobile had run over
his hound, Mr.. and Mrs. William H.
Forster, prominent Erie, Pa, society
folk, are patients at the Hamot hos
pital.
Both are seriously injured and Mrs.
Forster's condition is critical. Their
chauffeur, George Keller, was also
wounded and three hours afterward
LLOYD D. Pastorius was arrested by
Detective Sergeant Brown.
The shooting took place near Wal
nut Creek, fourteen miles west OF
Erie. The Forster machine ran over
hunting dog owned by Pastorius,
and before it had gone five feet after
hitting the dog, Pastorius, it is alleged,
raised his double-barreled gun to his
shoulder and let go both barrels.
Mr.. and Mrs. Forster were seated in
the rear, and both loads took them
square in the face, the bulk of the
shot striking Mrs. Forster.
DR.. Houghton, chief physician in at
tendance at the hospital, said that Mr..
Forster will recover, but Mrs. Fosters
condition is extremely critical and
nothing definite can be said in regard
to her for the next twenty-four hours.
Pastorius did not offer the police
man who arrested him any resistance
and admitted, it is said, that he had
fired the shot He is being held at
