ture was sent to Florida recently on

himself on one side Of one Of the
numerous lakes in that State when he
had business on the other side Of the
lake. He paid a native so cents to
row him across the lake. To go to
the same destination by carriage or
automobile would have cost IS. When
the expense account Of the Official was
examined by the auditor for the De-
partment the item of so cents was
disallowed on the ground that the
trip to Florida did not normally in

spent IS for carriage hire he would
have been reimbursed. He had to pay
the SO cents from his own pocket.

Good Teeth for Good Health.

According TO the United States Pub
Ing off in the sale Of store teeth in the
future, ard plates and toothless gums
will 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 alveo-
laris and to the layman as Riggs dis
ease. This is suppuration around
the roots Of the teeth and causes an
inflammation which produces loosening
and loss of the teeth. At one time or
another practically everybody has
minute single celled animal called the
endamoebae buccalis. This malevolent
parasite does it's work in combination
with the pus-producing bacteria or
germs. The skillful teamwork be-
tween these two destroys the delicate
membrane 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 long time, but the scientists Of
our country have only recently worked
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
condition Of tho teeth and their Soc
kets. II these are found to be dis
eased, the condition is cured before the
treatment goes further. Tho discovery
Of the cause Of Riggs disease Is.
therefore. Of the very greatest impor-
lance.
Just as soon as the cause Of Riggs
disease was found out. the search for
the cure began in earnest. It 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 a 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 adminis-
tered by physicians for the cure and
prevention Of the disease. 1t 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 remarkably
good. The treatment II both local and
general.
In the matter Of preventing mouth
disease. 1t is important that the mouth
be cleaned several times a day, and
that q dentist be visited frequently to
remove tartar and the yellowish mat
ter which accumulates along the inner
edges Of the teeth and between the
teeth. This Is particularly important
in the case of children. because it has
been found that many q child L. ap-
parently dull who is in reality suffer-
ing from a chronic poisoning produced
by mouth full Of decaying teeth.
The number of sufferers from Riggs
disease in tho United States il very
large and the United States Public
Health Service Is daily receiving in
