coming in. Tooth nutrition is interfered with
by the pressure of the second tooth pushing
upward. In addition to all this misery the
poisonous germs from diseased teeth lower
the child's vitality, making him more suscep-
tible to infectious diseases This is one Of
the chief reasons why the children of the poor
succumb more rapidly to these disorders than
do the children of weather. families. The
poorer parents have no knowledge of dental
prophylaxis, nor money to pay for the same
if they had. Consequently disease germs find
ready entrance into these unclean mouths, and
establish most favorable grounds for growth
and propagation.
The first of the permanent teeth, the sixth
year molar, is by far the most important
tooth we have, or have had; for when it is
lost Nature, in her bungling way, makes a
determined effort to close the vacant space
by foreshortening the jaw. This throws the
entire articulation aout of joint" and is the
chief cause of irregularities in the other and
later teeth. If these sixth-year molars were
preserved intact in the places where they
were intended to be preserved, few children
would ever develop @bird" or "fox" faces, or
become mouth breathers.
THIS brings us back to the question of
teeth and efficiency. We know positively
that efficiency depends upon teeth.
A short time ago an epoch-marking ex-
pertinent was tried out in the Marion school
at Cleveland, Ohio. 1t was contended by the
chairman of the oral hygiene committee of
the National Dental Association that thou

"HERE is more truth than humor in the
cheap pun that says zone can be what
one chews" We used to esteem the
teeth more as adjuncts to pleasant smile
than as practical aids to long life. We re-
gretted their loss more because of the con-
spicuous cavity their absence developed than
because we believed them to be valuable in
preserving health and happiness.

especially bad teeth. We are learning the
painful lesson that to spare the brush spoils
the teeth-and sometimes the child who owns
them. All over the country medical men and
dentists are cooperating in perhaps the most
important task of conservation in the world
they are awakening to the call of the child.
In the present article, however, we are con-
cerned only with the question of dental pro-
phylaxis (the prevention of carries, or tooth
decay, and the loss of time, energy, and
mental development due to lack of tooth care.
Science is now emphasizing the Importance
of teeth in preparing food for digestion. 1t is
also calling attention to the very intimate
connection between decayed teeth and large
number of diseases that apparently have
nothing to do with teeth. A little reflection
serves to show that improperly masticated
food, due to bad teeth, or lack of teeth, IS
a primary cause of malnutrition, resulting in
anenia, neurasthenia, and the entire per-
nicious host of symptoms that follow chronic
indigestion and autointoxication from in
testinal absorption.
Ulcers and cancers of the stomach have
been traced to decayed teeth; so have rheu-
matism and diseases of the kidneys. We are
spending much time, money, and thought
upon the subject of tuberculosis and its pre-
vention; yet it does not occur to many of us

i. Registration Not Necessary.

The question of registration be-
fore a primary election was brought
up recently in DEBORAH and discussed
pro and con. So City Attorney Jake
Nelson wrote in to the attorney gen.
eral for a ruling on the matter. Mr..
Nelson propounded the following
question:
4Is it necessary to have registra-
ton previous to primary election
in cities having a population above
$500, as provided by law, in case OF
general city or special elections?"
The answer received from the at
torney general is as follows:
I'm accordance with former hold
ings of this department this ques-
ton should be answered in the neg
sative."
With such ruling, decided by the
attorney general, it means saving
Of several hundred dollars to the

Wolves Attract Attention.

Tuesday afternoon Marion Price,
who lives near Burr Oak, brought six
live cub wolves to DEBORAH, which
attracted lots of attention. They
were on display in one of the win
dows of B. E. Bucknell's barber
shop. The mother wolf was shot
when the cubs were captured. They
were small, about eight inches long,
and resembled little puppy dogs.
The bounty on them is $500, and
on the mother wolf $40. which makes
the catch a valuable one.
