GOOD TEETH ESSENTIAL
TO GOOD HEALTH
Recent Medical Discoveries Pre-
vent Dental Loss.


According to the United States pub
lie health service there will be a fall
ing off in the sale Of store teeth in the
future, n plates and toothless gums
VIII be seen less frequently than for
merly. This Is due to the epoch max
ing discovery of the cause and method
of treating what is known to the SCI
enlist as pyorrhea dentalis and alive
olaris and to the layman as Riggs di-
sease. This is a ~suppuration around
the roots of the teeth and causes an in
and loss OF the teeth. At one time or
another practically everybody a
Riggs disease. 1t is caused by a
minute single celled animal called the
buccalis. This m~alevolent
parasite does it's work in combination
with the pus producing bacteria or
germ. The skillful teamwork Between
these TWO destroys the delicate mem
prane which surrounds the roots Of the
teeth and causes them to fall out.
The necessity of good teeth in order
to have good health has been recog-
nized a long time. but the scientists Of
our country have only recently worked
out the relationship between decay OF
the teeth and Riggs disease on the one
hand and rheumatism, serious heart
disease and high blood pressure on the
other. So firmly have these facts been
proven that the modern up to date
physician begins the treatment of such
diseases by an inquiry into the con-
d1tion of the teeth and their sockets.
If these are found to be diseased, the
condition is cured before the treatment
goes further. The discovery OF the
cause of Riggs disease is, therefore, OF
the very greatest importance.
lust 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
1pecac would cure the diseases which
are caused by infection of the intes-
tine with endamoebae. From this it
was deduced that a similar treatment
would cause tho destruction of en-
damoebae 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. 1t some
times takes a considerable time to get
rid Of all the malignant germs in this
way but the results which a been
obtained have been remarkably good.
The treatment is both local and gen.
eral.
In h matter of preventing mouth
disease. 1t is important that the mouth
be cleaned several times a day, and that
a dentist be visited frequently to re-
move tartar and the yellowlsh matter
which accumulates along the inner
edges of the teeth and between the
teeth. h is particularly important
in the case Of children, because 1t has
been found that many a child is ap-
parently dull who ts in reality suffer
ing from q chronic poisoning produced
by a mouth full of decaying teeth.
The number Of sufferers from Riggs
disease in the United States is very
large n the United States public
health service is daily receiving in
qutries as to the method Of curing and
preventing the disease.

Won Hindenburg's Life
Wholly Devoted to War

". c. Dreher in Atlantic Monthly.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is the
hero of Germany since the capture of
Novo G~eorgievsk with its $4,000 prisoners
and countless stores of munitions. He
may well be Germany's hero, and the
admiration of the world as this is given
70 men OF great military deeds. 1t Is for
Germany included, heard of his name in
the battle of Tannenberg in the MGzrian
lake region. where he captured 10000
ftussians. Within a half a year after he
mao taken command of the eastern army
he had captured 10000 prisoners, while
the killed and wounded exceeded that
number. He Is quoted as saying that at
Tannenberg alone $4,000 Russians were
ana marshes. A recent book of war fc-
ton, THE Nurses story" has a charac-

put there that resemblance ceases, for
liindenburg has been in the army all of
the nearly 70 years of his life. He comes
from a noble family of warriors. In his
younger days he made a minute study of
the Russian region and worked out
many military problems IN the Mazurian
Jake region, SO that 40 years afterWard

tar campaign as non other was. He is

From a member Of the Overseas

roads leading to the cemeteries. He

to trade with. She controls all OF Bel

small corner of GaIicia. The central DOW
ers are In a fine position to treat, but be-
fore they treat all of them want to feel
out the position Of this country.
Germany, by her action today, has digni-
fed the United States as q world force
Tomorrow, she may hope with better
grace to call the, United States Into con-
ference on peace. She could not do 1t
while she was Numbering American citi-
zens. She has quit Just In time to restore
the spirit of amity between the countries,
Another month, and 1t might have been
too late.
This was G~ermany's second motive. A
third minor motive is that President Will
son Is now footloose to demand satisfac-
ton from Great Britain over trade annoy
.ances. Great Britain has interpreted the
rules OF warfare also. She has made a
paper blockade and has utterly trans
formed the usual rights of search by TAX
ing vessels into her ports and virtually
informing them. She will have to come
down on this proposition, as Germany
came down on the submarine.
The secretary of state said today that
the note to Great Britain Is not yet COM
pleted. In fact he added that every time
1T approached completion some concesr
sions were made by Great Britain that
compelled its rewording In part though no
matter of principle had been abandoned
In the note and none would be. The over
shadowing question Is whether these ac-
~tivities ON the part of the United States
will bring the world toward peace. 1t is
easy to predict and hard to know. But
none of them thus far nave hurt peace
prospects. The money situation may nave

BY patience, skill and frankness, the
United States has compelled Germany to
conccde all that she would nave had to
concede after a nava war. 1t has not
cost anything compared with war and has
shown the nations that there Is still a
reasoning country on the earth. It has al
so shown Europe that this country, poor
as she is In actual armament, cannot be
Chinaized by either England or Germany.

Machine guns are weapons designed to
F1fIe with great speed. They are, in fact,
rifles viii a mechanical feed which SUP.
plies them rapidly with cartridges. In all
modern patterns they are automatic Ia
action. The gas produced by the explo-
sion or the shock of the recoil opens the
breech, ELECTS the spent cartridge, loads
the rifle, closes the breech and fires the
charge. These complicated operations
are carried out with extraordinary speed.
10 give an example, the Maxim, one of
r na pest known machine guns and the
army, can fire at least $50 rounds a min

From the Kansas City Star,

London, Aug. 7.-Despite the war

LOCO persons. In London there are
only 1877 per 1000, as compared with
1868 per 1000 six years ago. The de-
mand for workers Of even the poorest
class is SO great that there is practi-
cally no Observation-Disclosures item.
Senator Beveridge in one of his late
articles on Europe stated this same gen.
eral fact as regards England. He said
