Thy TEETH DECAY

There are more than thirty va
rieties of bacteria naturally in the
mouth. They are not there when
a child is born, but they begin to
arrive soon afterward- In addi-
ton to those which each person
has in the mouth, there are Others,
such as pneumonia and diph-
liberia bacilli, which are only to
be found in some mouths.
The ordinary bacteria secrete
alkaline substances which are not
harmful to teeth. But there are a
few which produce acid. These
cause DECAY.

C

Little particles of food lodge in
a crack or some shielded place in
the tooth. Intoit germs find their
way. They grow and secrete acid.
This dissolves the enamel of the
teeth. The result is a CAVITY.
The more acid and the larger
number of germs the greater the
cavity.
In short, decay in the teeth
comes from acid working in one
place, Acid comes from germs,
and germs feed upon food refuse:
Cavities may be cleaned out
and filled. But the wise, sane
process is to keep the mouth and
the teeth so clean that decay will
not make its appearance.

Mr.. Curry Asks Mr.. Rodden.
berry to Step Outside and
Settle Differences.

Rough rider tactics developed in the
sentative Curry of New Mexico invited
Representative Roddenbery of Georgia to
come outside and settle our differences. -
Mr.. Roddenbery replied that the gentle
man from New Mexico was out of order
and continued his debate on a bill to ex-
tend pensions to widows and children OF
veterans Of the Spanish American war.
Mr.. Curry was a member of the Rough
Riders during the war, and he took eX-
ception to the statement of Mr.. Rodden-
berry that some of the Spanish veterans
were takers" Mr.. Curry related that
his great-grandfather had served under
Washington in the revolution, that his
grandfather had served in the Mexican
war; his father had fought for the Union
in the civil war and that he himself had
fought in the Spanish war and in the
Philippines. Mr.. Curry wanted to know
the fighting record of Mr.. Roddenbery
and his forebears. Then he made his
suggestion about going outside.
Passes Pension Bill.
Mr.. Roddenbery has been fighting
pension legislation throughout the ses-
sion and yesterday he prevented vote
on the bill before the House. Later,
however, the House passed the bill : 1t
provides for pensions for widows and or
phans Of officers and enlisted men who
served more than ninety days in the
Spanish war and the Philippine insur-
rector who are in need OF assistance.
From the records of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war veterans it has been estimated
that there are 1000 widows of men who
served in this war, and 1t is estimated
that about one-fifth OF these widows, or
$40. would come under the terms of the
bill. More than 100000 a year would be
added to the present pension payments.
