PART /
Some years ago an eminent Austria
liam physician called at Rome during
the progress of a tour which, in the
interests Of scientific research, he was
making around the world; and profit
ing by the doctors presence in the
centre of Catholicity the bishop of his
diocese wrote to the Vatican asking
that Pontifical title might be con
ferred upon the distinguished medical
man in recognition Of his services 10
the Church in the land of the South
ern Cross and also as a mark Of
satisfaction at his professional sue
cess. The Holy See consented, and
the doctor was informed of the Pope's
decision. But he did not wish a title.
His faith and his attachment to the
Rock of Peter prompted him To ask for
something that would mean being
near the Pope's person" His wish
was granted.
The purpose or the present article
is not to treat on the position held by
roy vi Ny III
the Papal throne. but rather on the
services which are rendered by mem.
bers OF religious orders for the
occupant of this august seat, services
which each order fulflls as an
hereditary right, and which it cher
ishes as the apple of its eye. No re-
muneration is received for these serv-
ices except in as far as the support of
the holders calls. for ii in certain
cases.

Lii Mahy aitieS.

In Berlin, London, New York, Bos
ton ana many other communities
there has grown up a Resolution t(
see 10 1t that the cnlldrens teeth are
Kept IN order. Dental inspection is
i a5mpulsory in many foreign coun-
tries, and many cities support free
clinics for the schools. These clinics
supply not me- ely examination and
treatment for decayed teeth, but also
instruction to pa ents and teaolers,
which they, in turn impart to the
Children.
The results which have followed
this work prove that "a Healthy
Mouth Means a Healthy Body.
School absentees have diminished
greatly, the general health of the
children has been improved, and then
standard of mental attainment has
, been greatly raised.
The expense of this Work has been
met by the school authorities because
it is cheaper to do SO. We dislike
this argument OF cheapness, but it IS
real one. 1t is cheaper to keep the
children's teeth in order and get the
children through school on time, than
to pay for the extra Six months in
struction, The school board of Find.
lay, Ohio, employed 10 dentists thrt&-
years ago. By having that number it
was possible to go over all the teeth
, of all the children during the year.
! The dentists were employed on the
ground that It was a saving of money
to dare for the children's teeth.
What is the difference, in the
school progress of children who have
good teeth and those who have not?
What is the difference, If any in the
scholarship Of these children? In
their weight? In their height? One
would no. believe there were any ap-
preciable differences in solid material
facts OF this kind, bu: there are.
Children who have decayed teeth go
through school more slowly than
children who have good teeth. They
/ take on an average, one half Year
longer to go through school if their
teeth are out of order. Investigation
shows that children with decayed
teeth are shorter; that they are about
as tall as children seven months
younger who have good teeth. A SINH
lad difference is found in regard TO
weight.
Now, what is the reason for this?
What is the connection between de.
cayed teeth and scholarship. height
and weight? The answer is this: Prac-
tically all children, who have bad
teeth, have teeth that arc more or less
sensitive all the time. They chew
their food less thoroughly, they do
not eat as much hence they do not
grow as we'll as t1ildrcn with normal
teeth. "Having sensitive teeth estab,
I fishes the boiling habit"

Nobility of Labor.

It is the mission of the United States
to ennoble toll and honor the toiler.
In other lands to labor has been cen.
sidered the lot Of serfs and peasants;
to gather the fruits and consume them
in luxury and war, the business Of the
great. Since the medieval times Flu
ropean society has been organized on
the basis of nobility and people.
Thus has been set on human
industry and stigma Of perpetual dis.
grace. Something of this has been
transmitted to the new civilization in
the West-a certain disposition to re-
new the old order of lord and laborer.
Let the odious distinction perish; the
true lord is the laborer and the true
iaborer the lord-John Clark Ridpath.
