DISEASES OF THE MOUTH
Relation They Bear to Health of In.
dlvldual-Factors Which Con.
tribute to UncieanlIness,

Nature has provided human beings
with teeth for tie chewing Of their
food. 1t is in the mouth that the
first, and one OF the most important
steps in digestion takes place, the
only step, in fact, over which the in
dividual has the slightest control.
Hence the Importance in nutrition of
sound teeth and clean mouth. To
believe, as some do, that artificial
teeth are quite as satisfactory in the
mastication of food as are natural
ones, is to be mistaken. BY actual
comparison they have been found to
be ten times as inefficient They sus-
tain the same relation to natural teeth
that wooden leg does to one of flesh
and bones. Since, therefore, nature
has provided us with teeth, and made
the chewing of food an essential to
our health and we'll being, 1t Is i'm
portant that we make an effort to
preserve them. Unfortunately, the
mouth and teeth are subject to GER
tain diseases which not only tend to
destroy the teeth and make the mouth
unclean, but to unfavorably affect the
general health.
AS Is true Of many other diseases,
1t has been found that germs play an
important part in causing the diseases
OF the mouth. Under the most favor
able conditions the human mouth may
be regarded as being an almost ideal
culture medium for germ life. In fact,
1t presents In point of temperature,
moisture, nutritive material, etc., an
almost perfect breeding place. Up
ward OF twenty varieties, many OF
them dangerous to life and health,
have been found to thrive and multi
ply In the mouth under unsanitary
conditions. One investigator who has
given years to the study Of mouth
bacteria. has estimated the number in
one unclean mouth at 1,140,000,000.
Neglect to properly care for the mouth,
means therefore, an unclean and IN
healthy mouth, a condition which may
in turn seriously affect the general
health by interfering with nutrition.
Among the factors which contrib
utes to the uncleanliness of the mouth
may be mentioned decay of the teeth,
pyorrhea alveolaris or Riggs Dis
ease" chronic assesses, commonly
called liberated teeth" or gum
boils," irregular teeth, partially erupt-
ed wisdom teeth" tartar. infiamed
and bleeding gums, artificial teeth.

MYSTERY IN A CRATER.
An Arizona Puzzle That the Biologists
Cannot Solve.


About forty miles from Flagstaff,
Ariz.. in the midst of a great plain.
there is saucer shaped hollow about
three-quarters of a mile across and
600 feet deep. The rim of this strange
crater rises between $50 and 200 feet
above the surrounding plain Rocky
fragments are scattered for several
miles around the crater. Among these
rocks many fragments of meteoTic
ron. some containing 6iF=-s black
diamonds, have been found. The inner
walls show that the crust Of the earth
was broken when the crater was form
ed. yet no volcanic rocks exist there.
Biologists have offered several the
Dries to account for this singular phe-
nomenon- One is that an immense
meteorite made the hole and that the
meteorie fragments just mentioned are
remnants OF the falling star
Another theory sscribes the origin of
