our Small Towns.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: He wIo
gives the state OF Iowa the attention
which it merits, never ceases to mar
vel at the small towns Of Iowa, which
are the best in the whole country. and
which compare very favorably with
much larger cities in other states
Consider their modern improvements.
The small town in Iowa has discover
ed the important fact that it can have
almost anything that the jewellers in
the large cities enjoy, and having
made this discovery they lose no time
in getting for themselves everything
that makes life in larger cities seem
desirable In many respects our small
towns are making better progress than
the larger cities.
Consider their educational institu-
tons. No Iowan has to move from a
small town TO bigger city in order
that his children may enjoy the best
educational advantages. In the very
near future every country lad and
1assie will have a graded school that
will be the peer Of the schools in tho
big cities, and of course many OF these
schools are erected in the smallest
towns.
The smaller cities are not bit be
hind the Dig Cities, as IaT do III q. Ao''
hospitals and other public institutions
are concerned that are usually FOUND
In larger cities only in other states.
There is not smaller town scarcely
village in Iowa without at least one
bank
The list might be continued indefin-
itely. But there Ia one thing that
must not be overlooked even In the
shortest review, and that is the press.
1t is sticking very closely to the truth,
when the statement is made that the
papers issued in the smaller cities u
Iowa are uniformly OF an excellent
quality and compare quite favorable
with those published in much larger
cities In other states. And there Is
scarcely a town so small that 1t does
not afford a good paper, which In the
course of the years helps her to be-
come larger and better and to become
more widely known that would otner'
wise have been possible.
There are so many good things IN
Iowa that II is impossible to make
list of them-but there is nothing bet
ter In Iowa than her small towns. And
that could not be otherwise as they
are the centers OF the best farming
communities In the world.

Eiurmurs that rise and repeat
Set all the surface to swinging,
Until it sways to and fro
There where the sunlight is glancing.
dipping and swaying as though
Over it fairies were dancing.
Long is the sway of the wheat.
Like to the swell Of an ocean;
Never excited nor fleet,
But with an amending motion
Rustic and whisper and sigh,
Under the breath of the breezes,
while we stand wondering why
q We hear a cadence that pleases.
Over the level it flows,
Down from the hills to the hollows.
Ever and ever it goes,
Ever and ever it follows:
Rising and falling it comes,
Falling and rising it passes,
Mellowiy ever it huns
While in the sunshine it masses.
soft is the wind in the wheat,
/ Singing the melody Olden,
Timed to the rhythmical beat
OF stalks all bronzed and golden;
Under the stars and the sun,
Under the night and the noontlme,
See how they ripple and run.
Keyed to the music OF Junetime.

GOOD TEETH AND GOOD HEALTH.

According to the United States pub
health service there will be q
falling off in the sale OF store teeth
| in the future, and plates and toothless
gums will be seen less frequently
| than formerly. This is due to the
epoch making discovery of the cause
| and method of treating what is known
| to the scientist as pyorrhea dentalis
and alyeolaris and to the layman as
Riggs disease. This is suppura.
ton around the roots of the teeth
and caused an Inflammation which
produces loosening and loss OF the
teeth. At one time or another prac-
ticalIy everybody has Riggs disease.
1t is caused by minute single celled
animal called the endamoeba bucca-
lis. This malevolent parasite does its
work in combination with the pus'pro-
ducing bacteria or germs. The skill
full teamwork between these two de-
stroys the delicate membrane which
surrounds the roots OF the teeth and
causes them to fall out.
The necessity of good teeth in or
der to have good health has been
recognized long time, but the scien-
lists of our country have only recent
w worked out the relationship be-
tween decay of the teeth and Riggs
disease on the one hand, and rheu-
ma.ism serious heart disease AMI
high blood pressure on the other. So
firmly have these facts been proven
that the modern up-to-date physician
beans the treatment OF such diseases
by an inquiry into the condition of
the teeth and their sockets. If these
ARE found to be diseased, the condi-
ton is cured before the treatment
goes further The discovery Of the
cause Of Riggs disease is, therefore.
of the very greatest Importance.
Just as soon as the cause of Riggs
disease was found out, the search for
the cure began in earnest. 1t had
been previously discovered that the
use of ipecac would cure the diseases
which are caused by infection of the
intestine with endamoebae. From this
it was deduced that similar treat
ment would cause the destruction OF
endamoebae in the mouth. This was
found to be the case, and emetin, the
form of the drug used. is now admin
istered by physicians for the cure and
prevention Of the disease. It some
times takes a considerable time to get
rid of all of the malignant germs in
this way, but the results which have
been obtained have been remarka bly,
good. The treatment is both local
and general.
In the matter of preventing mouth
disease, it is important that the mouth
he cleaned several times day and
/ that dentist be visited frequently to
remove tartar and the yellowish mat
ter which accumulates along the in
ner edges OF the teeth and between
the teeth. This is particularly fmpor.
tant in the case of children, because
it has been found that many a child
is apparently dull who is in reality
suffering from a chronic poisoning
produced by mouth full Of decaying
teeth
The number of sufferers from Riggs
disease in the United States is very
large and the United States public
health service is daily receiving In
quiries as to the method OF curing
and preventing the disease.
