Ringing and his three sons made a
quiet but hasty return to Baraboo. Two
days later, the voices of the three Ring
ling boys could be heard in the dron-

schoolhouse.
But time improved matters not at all
in the Ringing family. Another son

was apparent to his brothers that he was
born for the role of a clown. So a
clown, in all the seriousness of the pro-
fession, they encouraged him to be. Now

that his sons would turn their thoughts
to farming. The four boys had started
out as circus men in earnest. The first
performance of the Ringing brothers

work was given by DR.. r. e. Roach OF

DR.. Roach stated that the profession
is paying more and more attention to
the placing Of crown and bridge work.
The idea was not to utilize teeth or
save teeth which might become the
foci Of contagion, he said. DR.. Roach
explained that frequently diseases
such as tuberculosis. tonsilitis, and
numerous others might be caused
through diseased teeth furnishing a
lodging place for germs.
The profession now IS getting more
and more to refuse to save diseased
teeth and will not crown those or use
them as bridge foundations if there is
any likelihood of their becoming
sources for disease,
