Dentistry Laws Of Old Rome.

Under the laws of the twelve Tar
bles, written in Rome, $50 B. c., while
1t was expressly forbidden to bury
gold ornaments with the dead, q spe-
cial exception was made for gold with
which teeth may be held together.
Martial, one of the satiric poets Of
Rome, once referred to the teeth Of
one woman as dark and another as
white, and explained the difference
with the statement that one Of them
bought her teeth, while the other had
her own. The transportation Of teeth
from the mouths Of slaves into those
of their mistresses is said to have
been common practice In the early
days of the Roman Empire.

keep the soil cool and prolong the

The best time to apply the mulch
