Hygiene of the Mouth.

If we neglect the hygiene OF
! the mouth no end of serious dis
eases may arise, both local and
I general. Gastric catarrh and
anaemia are now laid in many
cases to an unclean condition of
the mouth. Among the diseases
J traced to such condition of the
mouth and teeth are: In the
J mouth itself. dental necrosis,
gingivitis and stomatitis of every
degree Of intensity, deposition of
J tartar and suppuration around
the teeth; in the jaws. perios
! tits. alveolar assesses, osteomy-
elitis, maxillary assesses; in
parts adjacent to the mouth,
glandular engagements. tonsilitis
and various other troubles.
Therefore it Is not enough that
J we brush our teeth, although
this is step in the right direc-
ton and very. very important,
but we must also employ more or
less frequently an efficient disin-
! fectant. The mouth must be
we'll washed out and the throat
( gargled with such solution.
Keep clearly in your mind this
fact-that the mouth is the main
avenue for the entrance Of a
vast army of infections.

Drug Habit in Tennessee

Readers of The Plain Talk recall
that few weeks since DR.. Lucius
P. Brown, state chemists and pure
food and drugs inspector, made a
most alarming statement as to the
prevalence of the drug habit in
Tennessee. THE anti-narcotic
laws recently enacted" he says,
ARE serving to uncover terrible
state of affairs. Already we have
issued 1850 permits in the state,
a large proportion of these being
Nashville people, allowing drug
gists to sell them narcotics for
habitual use. 4 4 Those on our
books having permits use NOR
phine an average of 251 grains a
month, the aggregate being 278,618
grains per month, costing approx
iamtely 1854 each month"
This state of facts is appalling
enough but in order to more effec-
ually impress the public with the
frightful ravages of this insidious
malady in our midst DR.. Brown
says further: 81 believe | con-
servatively estimate that the num-
der of permits already issued COW
ers not more than one-third of the
narcotic users in the state If this
estimate be correct, and it has
been corroborated bv reliably pro-
fessional opinions, then the num-
Der Of so-called morphine fiends
in the state now approximate
$4,000! Out of a population-men
women and children-of only a
few thousand more than 100000
this is a terrific arrangement.
The fact that only one out of ten
of the habitual users has regis
tered indicates the difficulty, if not
the impossibility of reaching the
evil by law. Owing to the ease
with which the drug may be OBJ
tanned because its lack of bulk, it
is next to impossible to control its
illicit sale. The cocaine vendors
and the morphine dealers who do
an illegal business are almost en-
tirely immune from arrest. The
drugs may be easily bought in
cities outside of the state and
Struggled in for sale without the
slightest possibility Of detection
and so the horrible traffic goes on.
There is an appeal here to the
real philanthropists who recognize
the total inadequacy of the law to
make men morally strong. This
evil is one of the most insidious
that effects society and the rene
dy lies solely and alone in educa-
ton, wholesome exercise and
physical training for growing
youth and the enlightenment,
through the schools and philan-
thropic associations, of all classes
of the deadly quality of the drug
habit. Laws are not going to do
the work of reform. They cut
peoples heads off in China, in
some instances, for selling opium,
but the sale goes on. A thorough
educational crusade against the
dangers of it is the only cure.

Knox county Republicans in
resolutions endorsed fusion with
Democrates in order to enable
them to make the state Republi-
can, but they emphaticallv state
that no fusion is necessary in
Knox county where the officers
belong to the Republican party. 1t
is these small Republicans who
exist in Knox, Cooke, and other
counties who will finally prove
Governor Hooper's undoing. If
Hooper could keep his fine Italian
finger in every county he would
probably be able to keep his
henchmen from doing and saying
foolish things. Hooper is a long
way off from his Republican coun-
ties and while he probably thinks
he can handle the situation from
long distance there are so many
panicky individuals in his band
wagon, that they will sometime
make the wagon hard to manage.
