GERMS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH
Decayed Teeth One of the Most Po-
tential Causes of Disease in
the Human Family.

A hole in tooth is due to decay.
The animal matter of which the tooth
is composed is decaying. In that mass
of decaying matter the germs of all
kinds of disease find hotbed of fer
tile soil in which to thrive and multi
ply and grow strong.
Swarms Of them go down into the
stomach with every swallow, some of
them being destroyed by the action of
the stomach juices, but some passing
into the blood and being distributed
to organs CT the body, where they
lodge and cause tuberculosis, pneu-
moDia, sore throat, appendicitis and
many other diseases.
In fact, it is difficult to pick out a
single disease to which we are sub
ject that may not enter the body by
way of a decayed tooth. Decayed and
broken-down teeth prevent proper
mastication of the food, and this in
turn causes malnutrition or poor nour-
ishment of the body, which means
physical degeneracy, and physical de.
generacy means mental and moral de-
generacy.

Breaking 1t Gently.

Speaking Of breaking the news gent
ly, the story is told of we'll shooter
who operated in the oil fields in south
west Kansas ten or twelve years ago.
While he was going from one well to
another with a load of nitroglycerin
the wagon fell over the side of a
bridge and landed on the rocks fifteen
feet below The we'll shooter, his
wagon and his team were Immediately
distributed over the surrounding coun-
try.
A friend, who happened to see the
accident, felt that he ought to notify
the unfortunate we'll shooters wife,
but he wanted to break the news as
gently as possible. He called her up
over the telephone and said:
My opinion is, Mrs. Loop, that your
husband won't get back home in time
for supper, and reckon you might
as we'll not wait for him.
(Which way did he go?" asked Mrs.
Loop.
We'll, ma am" said the tool shar-
pener, who was breaking the news,
'he was goin' purity nigh straight up
when l last saw him, though l think
he was headin' a trifie to the north
east and | should say at the rate he
was travelin' that it won't be possible
for him to make it back by supper
time. e.'-Saturday Evening Post

What Is a Barmecid Feast?

The model of Bagdad was the older
Persian capital of Ctesiphon, situated
only few miles away. Doubtless also
most of the builders employed by
Mansur were Persians. for his desert
Arabs were not versed in that art.
Persian influence was conspicuous
from the first, and the chief advisers
of the Abbasids were all Persians un-
til the time of Harun-al-Rashid They
belonged to the famous Barmacid fam
lily whose power began with Khal'd,
Mansur's vizier, and ended with Jaf-
far, who used to accompany his mas
ter Harun in his incognito excursions
through the streets of his capital in
search of adventures that are familiar
to every child. Despite his romantic
picturesqueness, Harun was a weak
ling, and like many another oriental
tyrant his last days were marked
with shocking cruelties, one of the
worst of which was the slaughter of
the whole Barmecid family at feast
that has become a proverb with US
today-William Warfield in Harper's 8
Magazine.

Emblem of South Africa.

The springbok, which has been
adopted for the device of the South AT
rican contingent for Europe, was so
named by the first Dutch settlers from
a habit of suddenly leaping in the air,
and is the characteristic antelope Of
the Union. 1t occurs almost every
where, from the Cape to Rhodesia.
Prodigious herds of springbok some
times travel through the country in
dense masses that sweep away focks
of sheep or goats, and even carry with
them entangled lions. These curious
migrations are inspired by an instinct
which tells the hungry herds where
rain has lately fallen and caused new
growth of grass.

SELF-coNTR0L COMES FIRST
Man Must Be Able to Rule Himself Be-
fore He Can Be Allowed to
Rule Others.

The other day man who makes his
living by fighting was struck by an
undersized man, and instead of return
ing the blow he walked away from his
diminutive assailant.
This man exhibited much more self
control than the majority of people.
Men who class themselves as being
on higher plane than this fighting
man would have mixed Immediately
with the hot.headed individual.
What would you have done?
The chances are that you would
have rushed at the fellow with all
your might; you would have permitted
your savage instincts to rule you.
This proves that you have not as
much power as you should have over
your impulses.
You may boss other people, but you
are not boss Of yourself
Maybe you wonder why others are
forging ahead of you as leaders of
men.
1t is because they have a check rein
on themselves. They have schooled
themselves that they may be able to
guide others. Self-control is the at
tribute Of a leader.-Chicago Ameri-
can.

Derivation Of "Canon."

The word canon is Greek for

Gamma" a reed, which was selected
by carpenters on account of its
straightness. Hence from a measur-

for measuring and regulating church
doctrines.

Grammar.

Grammar is the science, or art, of
correct speech. 1t is quite true that
some people are able to speak and
write correctly without having stud
ed the rules as laid down in gram
mar, but it IS none the less true that
but for knowledge of the rules the
majority of people would write and
speak in a most parbarous fashion.

Milk and Scarlet Fever
(Telegram.)
Long Beach, Cal. Feb, 20.

Long Beach, Cal. Feb, 20.
To the Editor Of The Bee:
As an old friend of your paper, 1
take the liberty of calling your at
tention to the fact that epidemics Of
scarlet fever and also typhoid,
diphtheria, septic sore throat and
measles. can almost invariably be
traced to infected milk. This is
also the main cause of tuberculosis
in its various forms. My twenty
five years of labor combating milk
infection by pasteurizaton has fully
convinced me Of this fact, which has
since been sustained by physicians
and psychologists all over the civ.
iliEed world.
/ hope my recommendation will
prevail to make Investigations and,
If verified, take proper measures for
future prevention. Dairy interests
usually object to such measures, but
! trust those in your city and state
are more enlightened.
