EXAMINATION FOR
GOOD ROADS MEN
State Road Engineer Williams Rec
ommends Such Law to the
Legislature.

State Road Engineer A. d. Viii
liamS has recommended new legisla-
Jion III the matter OF building high
ways, and it is probable that a bill
enbodylng his suggestions will be
prepared by the committee and intro
duced III the legislature at an early
uate. 1he chief features of the
measure proposed by the state road
engineer provide: for examination to
determine the fitness of applicants
Ior positions as road engineers and
road Supervisors; and the division OF
Jhe state into road districts, SO that
every county may have the benefit
OF the services OF an expert engin-
eer, selected by the state department
OF roads after competitive examina-
tiOn.
Mr.. Williams idea is that the su-
peWlsors or roads should be select
ed on the basis of their fitness u,

CARE FOR THE TEETH.

DO your children have good teeth ?
10 you realize how important this is
to their welfare? In recent years the
care Of the teeth, net so long ago con
sldered as fad Of doubtful value,
has come t. take aH important place
in medical science
That, in spite of this advanced
scientific knowledge, there is still far
too much carelessness in this respect
is evidenced by report recently
made public in New York An asso-
citation in New York city made an in
vestgation among the school chil-
dren, and the result is nothing less
than astounding. In 1913, 194,2O7
cases Of dental defects were found
among school children. This result
came from an examination of but
37.3 per cent of the school enroll
nent. 1t is believed, therefore, that
half a million school children in the
greatest city Of our country are suf-
fering from lack Of attention to their
teeth.
