use of the teeth is to masticate food,
but of great Importance also is their
function in producing clear speech and
adding to personal beauty.
The digestive disturbances of child
hood are commonly caused by bad
teeth. The mouth is one of the impor-
tant organs of digestion and a proper
mastication of food is essential to good
digestion. A child with decayed, pain
full teeth will bolt his food, and an i'm
paired growth soon results. There is an
absorption of toxins from decayed
teeth; also the swallowing of these
germ products plays a part in digestive
disturbances in early life.
The selection of a proper diet for
young children is of great Importance
in the development of sound, normal
teeth. From the time of the appearance
Of the first tooth there should be 3
daily brushing of teeth and gums and
thorough rinsing of the mouth. This
practice and a proper dietary should
conserve perfectly the teeth of any
healthy child.
Almost always associated with a bad
mouth condition in children we find
diseases of tonsils, eye and ear infamma-
tions. Heart disease and joint infamma-
tions are often traced to decaye1 teeth.
\ child's general health and nutrition
is so profoundly disturbed by decayed
teeth that it soon becomes a fit sub
iect for tuberculosis.
A careful dentist should look over
child IS teeth twice year, and if de-
cay is present, filings should be made
and other defects corrected. Parents
should learn that this is treatment of
Importance and worth paying for, that
the whole future health and usefulness
of an individual may depend upon it.

ficiently indicated by the fact that he
held degrees in music from both Ok.
ford and Cambridge, his doctorate be-

Among his other achievements must
be placed the invention of the first
musical comedy, "In Town" Besides
"doing" the music, DR.. Carr invented
the scheme around which the piece
was written.
Many readers will remember his
Marguerite" which swept over all
Europe like wildfire with its irresisti-
BILE swing and elan some twenty years
ago and more. A song of the dashing
type, it had the gayest and most in
toxicating melody, and not only its
native land, but the continent and the
United States, succumbed speedily to
its charm.
The composer related that the IA
nous song was composed in the early
hours one morning after he had been
watching all night by the bedside of
his little daughter, who was seriously

A WAY Criminals Have.

What Is it that chains a man to the
use of his real initials when he relies
upon an assumed name to keep him
from trouble or the penitentiary?
In their recognition and analysis Of
this fact the shrewder detectives seem
today one jump in advance Of the
sharpest crooks.
This persistence in writing the tell
tale initials has been the chief factor
in the arrest Of many notorious crimi-
mails.
"Some obscure mental habit holds
them to the familiar characters Of
their signature" explained a detective.
'They seem unable to get away from
the letters their hands have been &C
customed to form, not even when life
and liberty depend on it."
Criminal history is full of testimony
to this interesting psychological fact.
And it is proving a big factor in rum
ming down the kings Of crookdom.-

That Old Sea SERPENT.

Major o. Smith, an officer of the
Swedish army, describes liz Nature a
sea serpent which he saw some time
ago in the Baltic sea, near Stockholm.
"At 2:25 p. m.," he writes, I'VE sud.
denly saw a movement Of the water
like the ripple Of a wave less than 300
feet from US. The sea was calm and
there was no boat or anything else
that could cause such a movement.
Looking more attentively, all Of us
saw very distinctly head like that of
an enormous serpent, larger than that
Of a man, slightly elongated, sur
mounting serpentine body about sew
enty-five feet long. The creature was
undulating, making at least ten dis
tinct curves, and a large part Of its
posterior region was above the water.
We watched this strange creature for
more than a minute swimming at
speed Of about two knots. 1 have
seen many dolphins and whales, and I
know their movements. Those Of this
sea serpent were very different"

The only way to get pure air into

lation. Every person in the room, with
every breath is taking in the pure air
and sending out impure air. Unless the
room is properly ventilated the air Of
the room becomes saturated with i'm,
purities that will surely kill. The kill,
ing is often unrecognized because Of
ignorance of the methods of nature,
but whether the process is slow or fast
depends upon the resistance of the ex.

mention in another article.
Even in the coolest weather always
have the window up tiny bit, at

from a fuel standpoint because it is i'm.

pure air can be heated.

CARE OF cHILDREN's TEETH.

In accepting men for service in the
regular army, Uncle Sam puts good
teeth above every other physical quail
fcation. A man may have corns and
callouses on his feet, he may have de-
fective vision, he may be knock kneed,
splayfooted, hard of hearing; and yet
under certain circumstances be accept
ed; but if he has bad teeth, it means
rejection.
Uncle Sam figures that a man with
poor teeth cannot chew his food prop
erly; this means his digestion will be
impaired and this also means absolute
disqualification for enduring the hard
ships and privations of army life.
During the year 1915 the medical
school officers of the Department of
Health made physical examinations of
1888 school children in the City of
Chicago. Of this number, 1880 were
found to have defects of various kinds,
such as defective hearing, diseased ton
sils, adenoids, defective vision and bad
teeth. Out of the total number of ex-
aminations made, 22,711 children were
found with diseased and decayed teeth,
being nearly 20 per cent. of the total
number of detectives and over 30 per
cent Of the total number examined.
Inasmuch as the 1888 children eX-
amined constitute considerably less
than one-fourth of the total number of
children in the public schools of the
City of Chicago, it is safe to assume,
and the figures are considered conser-
vative, that there are more than 100,-
900 children in the public schools of
the City of Chicago today with defec-
tive teeth.
Upon the proper care of the teeth
depends in large part the nutrition of
the growing child, his susceptibility
to many diseases and his general
health throughout life. The principal

THE BREATH OF LIFE.

Verify mankind is the paragon of
animals, the wonder of the world but
without the mysterious breath of life
the human body is merely a quintes-
senee of dust. Without air, co-operat-
ing with the various chemical elements
found in every human body, the indi-
vidual is cold, anaesthetic, inanimate
dead. Consider the power of the invis-
ible gas that means everything to the
person. Consider it's chemical compost
tion in its pure state. Then consider
the wonderful process of breathing
pure, absolutely pure air. If air is the
breath of life, it is the very best sense
to exercise extreme caution in the mat
ter of the air we breathe. The happy
equilibrium between the air and the
other bodily chemistry is the aim of
every person. 1t behooves US to medi-
tate upon the words of the genius who
wrote the line: "Can storied urn or
animated bust bring back to its man.
sion the fleeing BREATH" We labor
from birth on to the end of our earth
ly valedictory to keep the breath of
life on good terms with the body. But
we do so not always with the proper
intelligence. Since it is the principal
act of our lives, we should know all
that the accumulated wisdom of the
ages have to teach US concerning the
air we breathe and the necessity of
absolute purity to maintain health.
The act of breathing goes on night
and day without one moments rest
from birth to death. 1t is an act not
strictly under the power of the will;
it is carried on thoughtlessly. We are
able to hold the breath only for a short
while before we are compelled to begin
breathing to avoid the discomfort. We

Man the Hypocrite.

Man is a poor, weak biological speci-

resolutions and formulating strict eth
zeal codes for the guidance of himself
and his fellows. These ethical codes,
consisting in the main of restrictions
upon his pleasure, he shouts from the
housetops I'm the most public manner
possible.
Hardly does he utter them, however,
than he sets about in surreptitous ways
to disregard them. Such is man. 1t is
not so much that he leadeth a double

A Hint TO the Enoaued,

There is an old superstition which
rays that engaged couples who are
photographed together never get mar
ried. Superstition is gradually dying
down, so that few would be kept back
by an old wOman's saying. There is.
however, one thing which should keep
engaged couples from being photo
graphed together, and that is the
thought that if either or both should
marry some one else the fewer tokens
there are Of previous love affairs the
greater is the chance of happiness in

administered by the road commission. Considering that 1t Is d permanent nxture, il were much better that we turned our energies to assisting it to secure the necessary funds to accom-. plish what We desire.
 For instance. we might protitably adopt the methods of the Fairbanks automobile club which wants to turn che Valdez Fairbanks road into a boulevard
 The road IS already one of the best in the territory. As compared 10 sula il is as fine a road as could be desired. But, they want 10 make it dition that the Fairbanks organization wants it to be at present, they are doing no kicking about il. They don't spend their time in yelping about what a bad road il is or how many chuck noles they hit in every mile. Instead they are devoting their time to the much more profitable task of assist ing the road commission 10 secure further appropriations In this way they are not only expending their en- ergies Tn a practical manner but are also encouraging the road commission To give its best efforts 10 supplying that which IS desired. Instead of anta agonizing the commission by con- tinually knocking it's efforts and lab- ors, they get in and help 1t to accom- plish what is wanted. The example is one that can undoubtedly be fol- lowed with profit by ourselves. Some of us are commencing 10 realize it but most of our citizens prefer kick Ing to putting their shoulder to the wheel In all the twenty odd thousand square miles of Seward peninsula there are less than seventy five miles of good road and we want hundreds. fuTlneEmOIt We must nave them or 1t is up to us 10 move in the not dis tant future. Knocking the road com- mission won't get them though we exert our well practiced capacities to the utmost. If we get them it must I be by sensible and energetic labor
 The politicians are furnishing us an
 excellent tip to start with by boosting
 for good roads by way of making l votes for themselves. If we have the
 least bit of gumption we will go and | do likewise. Boost the infant good
 roads movement, already started by a
 few discerning citizens, boost the road
 commission, boost everything that will i help the work of securing appropria : 1 tions. That is the only kind of activ- ity that will secure the results de-
 sired.
