At one time or another practically
everybody has Riggs disease. 1t is
caused by a minute single celled ami
nal called the endamoeba buccalis.
This maleyolent parasite does its
work in combination with the pus
producing bacteria or germs. The
skilful teamwork between these two
destroys the delicate membrane which
surrounds the roots OF the teeth and
causes them to fall out.
The necessity of coed teenth in or

Just as soon as the cause of Riggs

it was deduced that similar treat.

EASY COFFEE GROWING.

The Plant FIourishss With Little Or
No Attention In Haiti.
Coffee, the great staple product Of
Haiti, the West Indian island, grows
with little attention. 1t supplies the
bulk Of the revenues Of the govern.
ment together with the meager de-
mands OF the simple peasantry Of the
mountains and valleys whose business
It is, especially the women and chill
dren, to gather it and bring 1t to the
seaport towns on their heads and on
the backs Of donkeys and horses.
This plant is seen on nearly all the
uplands and mountain sides of the coun.
try, and as the product il easily port
able it is brought to market from far
and near in all conceivable quantities,
from one or two pounds up to 200
pounds, accordingly as it is carried on
the head Of a child, the back Of a
horse or in sacks in OK carts.
Notwithstanding that the coffee plant
is scarcely cultivated at all 1t goes on
reproducing itself from fallen berries
so successfully that the crop only va
ries from year to year through ex-
traneous influences like q variation In
