DISEASES OF THE MOUTH
Relation They Bear to Health Of In.
divldual-Factors Which Con.
tribute to UncIeanIiness.

Nature has provided human beings
with teeth for the chewing OF their
1000. 1t Is In the mouth that the
nrst, 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 well being, it 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
bactebda, has estimated the number in
one unclean mouth at 1,140,000, 900.
Neglect to properly care for the mouth.
means therefore. an unclean and un.
healthy mouth, 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.

called liberated teeth" or gum

traffic passing over it, and head walls
should in all cases be built at each
end of the culverts to prevent them
from being washed out. Tue maxi
mum fill to be allowed over a clay
pipe culyert should be at least three
feet The objection. to pipe culyerts
is that they become easily clogged and
are thus made useless Clay pipe cul
verts are easily broken unless they are
we'll laid and well protected.
The most simple and natural form OF
bridge consists of timbers laid across
the stream or opening which is to be
passed over and covered with planks
to form the roadway Walls should
be built TO support each end OF the
timbers, and these are called abut
ments The width of the opening
which they cross is termed the span.
The timbers themselves are called
stringers. and the planks are usually
referred to as the flooring:
The size of the stringerS required IN
creases with the span and the distance
apart, center TO center, that they are
laid. For example. u . inch by q inch
stringer will do for two foot span,
while 6 inch by 10 inch or 6 inch by
II inch stringer is required for TWEEN.
ty foot span. The distance apart that
the stringers are required to be laid
varies with the thickness of the plank
flooring and the amount Of traffic.
The weight Of the materials in the
bridge Is commonly referred to as the
dead load. The additional load which
the bridge is designed to carry is
known as the live load and consists Of
animals, wagons or motor vehicles or
pedestrians. 4 crowd Of people stand
ing close together on a bridge IS usual
ly estimated at about 100 pounds per
square foot Of floor space.
The strength of the bridge depends
upon the kind of timber used. the di-
mansions of the timber, the amount
used and its location, and also very
largely upon the span of the bridge.
For example. assuming a loaded wagon
carrying 500 pounds per wheel, a yell
low pine board one inch thick and eight
inches wide would require stringers to
support 1t about every thirteen inches
apart to carry the load safely, while a
plank of, the same width and two
inches thick would require stringers
three feet apart, and a three inch plank
would require stringers about every
four feet apart These figures are based
upon the assumption that yellow pine,
Douglas fir or a good quality of oak
would be used. If such timbers as
white pine, hemlock or spruce are used.
then stringers would be- required
about every eight inches for one inch
board, every two and one-half feet for
a two inch plank and every three feet
for three inch plank.
The following table gives the approx
innate sizes Of stringers required for
the different spans:

Tho Road Contract System.

There are three systems OF road
maintenance in use in this country
viz the contract system, the labor tax.
or personal service system, and the
syste- which provides men perma-
nently employed to look after particu-
lar sections of road. The contract sys-
TEN has been used to some extent in
various states, but it has never been
found entirely satisfactory. As gen
eral rule. the amount paid for this
work Is small. and such poor service
Is rendered that in many cases the
roads have become worse. rather than

VERY FEW KNOW HOW TO EAT
When Cooking Was Discovered and
Ple-Making Invented, Mans
Habits Changed.

~
York. N. Y.
No!
Why?
Because!
In the first place, man was made to
1T certain sort OF food. He was given
teeth and q digestive apparatus suit
able for turning certain foods into
muscle, bone, or heat, as these were
needed or used up. Under those pre-
adamite conditions there was no cook.
Ing. Fire even had not been discover
ed, except In the form OF, and as the
result OF, lightning. How to make fire,
at will, man did not know.
Before foods were cooked everybody
was compelled to chew his food, for 1t
was found in liquid or mushy state;
and there was not much of 1t.
In digging up human skeletons,
which must have lived ages and ages
ago, We find that men and women
lived to great age and often died with
full sets OF teeth in their heads.
These teeth were we'll worn, but not
decayed, and this preservation OF the
teeth told story of good health
which could not be told better by
words.
Thus we know that when there were
no liquid or mushy foods, and when
everybody was compelled to chew his
food we'll in order to get the good
there was in it, out of 1t, he was more
healthy, and lived longer and kept
his teeth better than he does now.
When did man forget how to eat?
Wien cooking was discovered and
pie-making, and soup, and spices were
invented. 1t then became easy to
swallow, or bolt" the food without
properly mixing 1t with saliva: which
Is the first great necessity of good d..
gestion.
That is how everybody forgot how
to eat right. Old folks were in q
hurry to get back to work, and little
folks We're in a hurry to get out to
play; and hence all of them got In
the habit of eating too fast. So fast.
that saliva had no chance, to mix with
the food: and half of it was not di.
gested at all.
We know now that food which Is
not digested, and thus made into
blood or heat, is liable to rot in the
stomach, or, somewhere In the intes.
tines. When the food rots In the
body 1t poisons the body and that is
what makes person sick or tired. No
well person should be tired in any
other way than being sleepy. Other
kinds of the tired feeling" besides
sleepiness means sickness.
Since We cannot always convenient.
ly eat nothing but raw food, and since
cooked food tastes so good to us, how
can we avoid eating in the wrong
way? That is the important cues.
ton.
I will tell you.
Just treat the cooked foods. tha
soups, and mushes, and the like; Just
as our forefathers, were compelled to
treat their raw food; so as not to be
sick or tired.
Chew everything that is solid for all
It Is worth, and get all the taste out
Oh 1t before swallowing.
