Besides az IA considerable number OF

CHILDREN IN COUNTRY
TAUGHT CARE OF TEETH
Public Health Service Sends Thou
sands Of Toothbrushes to
Rural Districts.

BRUSH 'em-do it daily. That's the
cure for much of the physical ineffi-
ciency and many chronic diseases in
rural districts prescribed by the noted
surgeons of the public health service
Brush what?" Uncle Sam answers
by getting some thousands of tooth
brushes and sending some bodied
men and women out into the rural dis
tricts to show boys and girls how to
scrub their teeth. Even more impor-
tant. he is having the mothers of the
country instructed how they must
train their children to do the job thor
oughly, and daily.
Just at present the public health
service finds the tooth of the country
youngster the very corner stone of the
country's development.
A recent investigation made by the
United States public health service in
connection with studies of rural school
children showed that 1913 per cent had
defective teeth, 21.1 per cent had two
or more missing teeth, and only 1853
per cent had had dental attention.
Over II per cent never used a tooth
brush. $50 per cent used one occa-
sionally. and only pa per cent used
one daily.
Surgeon General Rupert Blue and
other wise men of the service pom
dered over this. and then they boiled
down the wisdom of their scientific

HIGH COST OF LIVING IS
NO BAR TOTS GOOD WORK
Gospel Mission Is Still Able to Give
Poor Square Meal for 6H Cents.
Benefactions Broad.

In spite of the high cost of living
and the increasing prices of staple food
suppliesy the Gospel Mission has been
able to give a square NEAR for 61s
cents at its penny lunch. PA John Mar
shall place, according to the report of
the superintendent. Herbert W. Kline,
covering the last three months.
Among the benefactions included in
this report are: 1927 services with an
attendance of more than 10000; 147
professed conversions: relief to 1874
destitute homes; forty-seven visits to
hospitals for the INDECENT poor; three
meetings at Blue Plains; twenty-six
jail services.
On the penny lunch counter 21.562
meals have been given out, the average
price per customer being 61a cents.
Many Given Chance to Earn Food.
Eight thousand five hundred and
twenty-eight men, who We're without
money, were given chance to earn
their food; 72s who couldn't work were
given lodging and meals free All told,
1879 men were lodged in the dormi-
tories.
Employment was found for 317 men
and women, and more than 500 articles
of clothing were given away.
More than 480 persons received medi-
cine.
At the infant welfare station S7g
babies under two years of age were

der severe exertion. consume at least
one-half more food than they do In

consumption equal to the food regular

1T is further true that factories in
all the belligerent countries that ordi-
narily produce goods for general use
are busy on war munitions. Four thou
sand such factories are SO busy in
Great Britain alone The same is true
Of every belligerent country. and to
some degree. but to a very smaller de-
gree. of our own country. The result
is that at the time of greatest con-
sumption the production is greatly re-
duced. In addition. 1t is fact that the
great crops Of Russia are shut of from
the markets of the world by the war
hence her wheat is not available to
feed the nations of the west. At the
same time it is the fact that our own
crops OF almost every kind are shorter
than for some years past
Il need hardly say more but il is
perhaps fair to add that this country is
prosperous as IL never was before. and
this means that millions of men and
women are spending more than before,
which is another way of saying that
their demand is greater at time when
the supply is less"

ATHENS, October "a. via London. Oc-
tober rs. sos p.m.-The Greek govern
ment today issued a communication to
clear up misunderstanding due to ex-
aggerated reports of King Constan-
tines interview with the French mill
tary attache on Friday. The communi
cation explains that the French gov
eminent made no demands. but merely
submitted a memorandum and that the
king never declared he was prepared
to break off relations with the entente.
1t is thought that as result of a
between the king and the
French minister this morning during
which explanations were made the
French marines may be withdrawn
shortly from Athens and Piraeus.

Situation, Is Improved.

The king and the French minister
conversed for haH an hour. The Of
fetal statement says the situation has
been improved considerably on account
of the loyal declarations of the king
regarding his sentiments toward the
entente and also on account of the
French minister's assurances respect
ing the intentions of the entente
toward Greece.
These assurances were given with
view to re-establishing relations of
confidence with the Hellenic govern
ment on the basis of maintenance of
benevolent neutrality in conformity
with the previous agreements.

TERRIBLE FOLLY OF WAR
BLAMED FOR HIGH PRICES
Mr.. Redfield Advances Theories as
to Causes for Present Eco
nomic Situation.

The present advance in prices is not
the result of manipulation. but of the
terrible folly of war" according to
Secretary Redfeld. in letter to a COR
respondent in Oakland. Cal. The Sec
retary's theories are expounded in the
letter which follows:
The world is at war. 1t is prob
ably within the truth to say that co.
600 900 of men OF the most productive
ages are withdrawn from productive
work and are spending their time
fighting. The world is. therefore, short
Of goods by the amount that these men
would produce IL they were working
instead of fighting.
'On the other hand. these men are
consuming much more than they would
II they were working Probably II is
true to say that each Of these 20, 000, 900
men in peace wears out not over three
suits of clothes a year. AS soldier in
the trenches he wears out completely a
suit of clothes every month. In other
words. his consumption of clothing is
at least four times as great as in peace.
This would mean for the 100000
men $4,000, 900 additional suits of cloth
ing each year.
