Unsound teeth are conveyors
OF the germs Of disease. In Val
paralso, Ind, there was an cpl
demic of scarlet fever that de-
fed the city authorities. Month
after month. despite the strictest
quarantine. the plague went on
among the children. Finally, by
course of elimination, the au-
thorities decided that the infec-
ton was being carried in the
mouths of the children. Every
child who entered school was ex-
amined. and its teeth were put In
good condition. Within a few
weeks there was no scarlet fe-s ;.
yer. Examinations made in Chi
cago by the board of health show
that the heterogeneous that
produce scarlet fever, diphtheria
and all other children's diseases
can be found in the cavities of
decayed teeth fully five weeks
after the child has been declared
cured. The faithful use Of the
toothbrush should be made a
part of the school requirements
IN all parts of the country. as it
is now in some classes in Massa-

be made to understand that den

the reform mayor of this city, and
the members of his cabinet have decid-
,, ed to 60 back to school to take a
course in political economy. so that
they may be more competent to admin
lister the affairs of the city. H..
The mayor and at least two mem
bers of his cabinet have arranged to
go to Madison. Wis.,. to attend course
of lectures at the University of Wis
cons1n. The course, which is short and
theoretical. is designed to solve the
problems that confront modern munich
palities. When the mayor and his d.
rectors return they expect to be able
to ride roughshod over some of the
municipal quagmires which have all
but engulfed them to date. hs
The most trying difficulties are mat
tiers of finance. the mayor being de-
sirous of getting enough funds to run
the city. and members of councils hav-
Ing conveniently blocked every move.
The mayor acknowledges that If the
lecture course will answer the question
of how to whip in line belligerent
councilmen he and his directors will
feel that they have been amply repaid
for their trip west.
Not only will Mayor Blankenburg
and his advisers take the lecture
course-which is to be jammed into
three days-but the entire membership
of the City club. an uplift organization.
will probably accompany the officials.
The special lecture program arrang-
ed to assist Mayor Blankenburg and
his directors to run Philadelphia ts
a very comprehensive one,s It has been
arranged by the University Of Wiscon-
sin faculty and takes insevery phase
OF municipal existence. even telling
