ADVICE OF HORACE FLETCHER
Apostle Of Careful Mastication Calls
Attention to the Great Importance
Of Dentistry.

In regard to dentistry as important
In nutrition, my attention was called
to the Importance of the subject by
an incident that happened about six
or seven years ago. was In Venice
at the time and there arrived there q
family from Australia, among them q
very beautiful young woman, who was
in the pink of condition. with the Brit
ish pink cheeks, thoroughly active,
thoroughly athletic. I was told that
only about six or eight months be-
fore that time she had been In hope
lessly invalid condition In Australia.
They had been living In remote part.
where there was very little opportu-
nifty to have good dentistry performed,
and inasmuch as they were expecting
to leave Australia, they had been put
ting off for a long time the repair
work that they knew ought to be done,
leaving it for better opportunity
when they came to America. Mean
time the young lady was In a misera-
BILE condition of indigestion and dys-
pepsia. When they arrived in Amer
lea and put themselves under the care
of competent dentist it was but a
short time before the young lady be-
gan to improve, and with the COM
pletion Of the repair work and the
ability that she then had, to properly
masticate food, her health was entire
ly restored and 1t was almost like q
miracle.
Recently my attention has been
called to the fact that there ls great
movement on foot now In various
parts of this country towards employ
ing dentistry in the mouths Of school
children, 1t having been found that
forty per cent. or perhaps more of the
school children In the public schools
are not in a condition to either enjoy
or to properly masticate their food.
The proposition has been made in Bos-
ton, and perhaps elsewhere in the
country, to the boards of education to
have regular examinations made and
repair work done at the cost Of the
government, in order to lay q proper
foundation for the health of the chill
dren. I may say In the way Of ex-
PLANTATION that do not represent tho
school Of medicine OF OF dentistry.
simply the school Of the study OF ma
ture. During the fifteen years OF my
study of the subject have persistent.
ly put aside all Of the dicta of tho
text books and have tried to put my
self in close communication with ma
ture herself: and 1t has been a source
of great qualification to notice how
quickly nature has responded to that
sort of inquiry. No sooner had I be-
gun to study the development of taste
than I began to receive joy Of eat
ing. a pleasure of taste itself, that
did not know existed. I thought en-
joyed food, that was q gourmet, but
I did not know what it was to really
enjoy food, and the interesting part OF
1t was that instead of looking for in
creased enjoyment in more compli.
Gated mixtures, found the whole In
clination of appetite In the direction
Of the simpler foods.

NESOTA UNITED.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Oue OF the
most important moves in recent years
10 prepare the national militia for use
in time of war is proposed in letters
addressed by Acting Secretary Oliver
TO the governors of all the states and
territories inviting their co-operatiC1
in the war college in plans for the Or
sanitation of the militia in IL tactical
divisions.
The letters point out if the militia
is used as a field force effectively in
war time, it can best be done by this
system of divisions and to insure the
proper working Of the plan, all the
details should be worked out in time
Of peace.
In the outline of divisions no place
can be given to separate companies
of infantry which, it is said, will be
absorbed into regiments or larger or.
ganizations.
Field armies will be formed by
grouping two or more divisions of
militia or by combining one or two
divisions of militia with one of the
regular troops.
The war department also proposes
odetail inspectors as instructors TO
assist state officials SO that war mae
rial for the militia can be distributed
and stored in suitable depots to be at
hand locally when mobilization is or
dered.
General Oliver plans the first four
of the II tactical divisions shall be
entirely of regular troops with the
istrict of Columbia militia assigned
'.ty as regulars.
Among the remaining divisions will
ia the following state militia organi-
cations:
Eleventh, headquarter Columbus,
Ohio and Michigan; twelfth, head
quarters Chicago, Illinois, Indiana;
thirteenth, headquarters st. Paul.
