STALE BREAD SAVES TEETH.
The Jaws Were intended for Use and
Need Exercise. Says Dentist.

(NeW YORK PRESS
The Jaws we're designed for use,''
said DR.. Horace L. Howe in a discus
sion at the recent meeting Of a dem
tai association.
Recently a strong, handsome,
splendidly developed Swedish gentle
man came to me for treatment. Every
tooth vas perfect. The Jaws were
large and well developed. Only four
or v small filings were present. 1
remarked that he must have used his
teeth when young.
I'm reply ne told me that his people
in Sweden considered bread unfit for
food If less than three weeks old.
There Is no doubt that the use of the
jaws in vigorous mastication Is the
sourc Of stimulation toward their de-
velopment and the source of the pres
ervation Of h teeth after they erupt.
The jaws will not develop without
the blood supply, which is, In turn,
dependent on the stimulation OF exer-
else.
One OF the most pitiful objects /
ever held was boy Of perhaps Is.
whose lower law ives OF the size of
that of q child OF G. What caused
this condition? I know 1t was due to
lack OF use. or this / am positive,
because the how had ankyios!s OF the

that way. They, too, believed that
