Nature in providing teeth for vari-

has not only supplied what is vital,
for that particular. animal in the
preparation of food for the digestive
organs, but in many cases has sup
piled instruments of offense and de-
fense as Well Ages before man made
any of his cutting, piercing, crush
ing and grinding instruments, not to
mention his toothed- jaw traps, nature
had placed most wonderful instru-
ments for these various services in the
mouths of various creatures.
Many people have often admired
the perfect condition and pearly
whiteness of the teeth of their pet dog
,or cat, but probably have not Won
dlered to any great extent upon how
they managed TO retain such perfect
cutting Instruments Few, if any, hu
man mouths contain such perfect

"'luxuries" among the flower animals"
that are living in anything similar
to a state of nature.
The civilized life of humans varies
vastly from the natural conditions
under which wild creatures live-and
many domesticated ones partake of
that wild condition SO far as their en-
vironment allows them to.
Animals living under natural con-
slitions eat natural food-no cooked
food They have to exercise to get
their food, and tear and chew it well
before it may be swallowed This
cleans the teeth and exercises them.
Then. again, they never drink very
cold and then very hot liquids, as
most human beings do-even when
their medical advisers tell them not
to- That practice will crack even the
enamel of any teethI-the hardest
known substance in the animal body.
We see that by the contraction of
cold and expansion of heat the con-
crete pavements of our streets are
cracked, but we never think of that
when we are careless with those very
useful implements which nature has
given us to properly prepare our food
for complete digestion!
