thought the DUPONT road would be de-
trimental, neutral, or beneficial in its
effect upon business conditions and
property values Then he jerked his
thumb across the street to where a
large force of men were busy as bees
in construction work, and said:
There's my opinion Of the whole
matter. People will come here in cars.
That means business. So do !. And
l believe MIR. DUPONT does, too"
That was all he said, but the look
of the large stone pillars at the en-
trance OF his new garage. and the
solid-looking concrete blocks, said

Hitsttae IN History,

Students OF history are deeply in-
iebted for the great progress which
has recently been made in the dis
covery and Interpretation Of the art
ard religion Of the ancient, mysterious
and well-nigh forgotten Hittites, and
their true relation and perspective in
history. German excavation at Bog
haz-Kenij have shown that this long
unknown town-probably the site OF
the Cappedocian city Of Pteria-was
for centuries the capital of powerful
kingdom, which. with its allies, was q
dominant force in Asia, on equal
terms with the rulers Of Babylonia
and the Pharaohs, and driving them

Much Truth About Health In Article
That Probably Is Meant to
Be HumoToue.

Health Is matter which was once
very popular. but it has long since
grown into disfavor. In these strenui
GUS days the securing Of health con
sumes altogether too much time. It
cannot be acquired without detention
from business. Not only does It in-
terfere with business, but with pleas.
ure a. well.
Health requires too much sleep, too
much fresh air, too much food Of a vull
gar simplicity and too many clothes
which are more comfortable than
stylish. Health IL like anything else.
In order to have It one must give at
tention to securing 1t, but when the
securing Of money engrosses all Of
ones time, manifestly health must
take back seat. We still have tradi..
tions about health much like the tra-
ditions about the soul, but these take
a secondary place. Doctors, like min
listers. are called in only when 1t is too
late.

supremacy with bank balances, but IL

be affected similarly to the

it is caused by a germ which has

AFFECTS HYGIENE OF MOUTH
Decay Of Teeth Has Disastrous infiu.
ence Upon tho General
Health. 50

OF all the factors which contribute
TO he uncleanliness of the mouth, the
most common and probably the most
disastrous In its influence upon the
teeth. This Is disease brought about
through the agency of germs which
possess the property of converting
starchy foods, sugar., etc. into acids.
1t is these acids which slowly dissolve
out the inorganic portion of the
| enamel, after which it is only a Ques.
ton of time. unless cared for, when
| the pulp or nerve" of the tooth be-
comes involved, followed by pain,
death of the pulp and ultimate loss CT
| the tooth. The rapidity with which
this Is accomplished will depend large.
ly upon the cleanliness or uncleanli-
ness OF the mouth, and the resistance
| which the teeth or body as whole, Of
| fers to the agents OF decay. AS a rule,
| the process is comparatively slow
one. An aching tooth does not spring
Into being In day, and means nothing
less than negligence long continued.
While decay of the teeth is not linn
| tied to any age, 1t Is, nevertheless.
most common in childhood, It's most
active period being between the ages
| of six and twenty. Because 1t makes
its appearance SO early In life. the
temporary teeth are often involved, es-
| pecially the molars. which are too Oft
| en- regarded by the parent as OF little
value because they are temporary
teeth. Let It be said with all posi-
BILE emphasis that no greater mistake
| could be made. for the decay of these
teeth means not only an unclean and
diseased mouth at critical period In
| the life OF the child, but 1t means In.
evitable irregularity OF the perma-
nent teeth. Every effort should there
| fore be made to preserve these teeth
| against decay, because more than half
| OF them should remain in the mouth
until the child Is twelve years OF age.
| This should be done not only TO insure
against pain and uncleanlness, but
for the purpose of providing the de-
veloping child with an efficient masti-
eating apparatus. Decaying teeth rem
der thorough mastication impossible
and establishes early In life the hab-
1t OF boiling the food. Moreover. the
| flth which Is inseparable from de-
| caying teeth is mixed with the food
and carried into the stomach az fur

In word. decaying teeth. especially
In the mouth of child. means poor
nutrition. which IN turn means poor
health and low order of efficiency.
