BETTER TEETH IN future
DR.. ]. v. COnZett Believes Oral
Hygiene Will Aid Coming
Generations.

Teeth Of the people of today are not
as good as those of our ancestors de-
clared DIR. J. V. Conzett of Dubuque,
Iowa, who is attending the convention
of the National Dental Association, to
Star reporter at the New Willard Hotel
today.
Nowadays people do not have the kinds
of food to chew as did those of the past
generation, and consequently their teeth
more readily decay he said. THE best
prevention for the decay of teeth is to
eat food which has to be considerably
masticated and in that way the teeth
are kept clean from germs which might
otherwise lodge on them.
1.-The teeth of all classes of people are
the same. The belief that there are hard
and soft teeth .s Misleading. Io,he acn-
lists tell their patients that they have
soft or hard teeth, bit by more than TO-
900 experiments made by eminent den
Decay Starts From Outside.
Decay always starts from the out
side. This is caused by the fluids of
the mouth, food habits and the lack
of cleanliness. Certain portions of the
tooth, however, are immune from de-
cay. The proper mastication of food
does not permit the bacteria to rema in
on the teeth and thus decay them. The
fact that our ancestors or persons of
the past generation chewed various
nuts and fruit seeds kept their teeth
clean.
The predigested foods in common
use today cause a lack Of the use of
the teeth, and like any other organ. by
lack of use, they decay. Sugar forms
an ideal formation on the teeth for the
bacteria to live upon. II no food is on
the teeth these bacteria cannot live.
Therefore, clean teeth cannot decay.
DIR. Conzett declared that the teeth
of the future generation ought, how
ever to be better. He said the teach
ing of oral hygiene and the education
as to the care of the mouth would re-
suit in better teeth in the future.

STRAW HATS IMMUNE:
JOKER GIVEN WARNING.
No Franks Permitted Septem-
Der Is, Notwithstanding
Decree of Fashion.

When September Is rolls around dig
up your old derby hat If you can find 1t
or buy a new one if you have the where
withal and sally forth on the street with
the comforting thought you are wearing
a conventional lid. If perchance you see
some forgetful or obstinate person who
smile a superior smile and even jeer a
little, but don't take 1t upon yourself
to correct his evil ways. If you do you
may get into trouble. and no less author
ity than Assistant District Attorney
Ralph Given stands sponsor for the state
ment
Penalty for Playfulness.
You may possibly think that you can
playfully demolish any straw hat you
see after the middle of the month and be
backed up in your action by the unwrit-
ten law pertaining to hats. But if you
do, look out. The very first person who
is caught in the act of venting his play
fulness on the hat of some one else is
going to be arrested. When he is brought
up in the Police Court he need hope for
no clemency, because Ralph Given is go
ing after the offenders strong this year.
Il fail to see why a man can't wear
whatever kind of a hat that pleases him, .
Mr.. Given said. 1.-The mere fact that
fashion has decreed that the straw hat
shall not be seen after the middle of
September gives no man the right to in
jure or destroy the headgear of his fel-
low-citizen who chooses to ignore the
edict.
Possible Consequences.
''If this kind Of thing should spread to
other articles of clothing. think what a
fix we would be in. If man wore dow
shoes after a certain date he would be
in danger of having his legs broken.
Il said last year. and repeat this year,
that any man who destroys the property
Of another-meaning any article in gen.
eral, and straw hats in particular-will
get stiff fine or a good long stretch at
the workhouse IL 1t is within my power
to convince the judge that the offender
needs that punishment
Mr.. Given talked as if he meant it. too.
And remember, he is in an excellent po-
sition to convince the Judge"
