BIG PERCENTAGE OF SCHOOL
KIDS HAVE BAD TEETH
Arecent investigation made by the
U. S. public health service in cOnnec-
ton with studies of rural school chill
dren showed that 1913 per cent had
defective teeth, 21.1 per cent had two
or more missing teeth and only 1863
per cent had had dental attention.
Over IA per cent never used a tooth
brush, 58.2 per cent used one Occa-
sionalIy and only 27.4 per cent used
one daily. Defective teeth reduce
physical efficiency
Dirty, suppurating, snaggle-tOOth-
ed mouths are responsible for many
cases of heart disease, rheumatism
and other chronic affections. The
children are not responsible for the
neglected state of their teeth. The
ignorant and careless parent is to
blame for this coRdition-ac condition
which hampers mental and physical
growth and puts a permanent handi-
cap on our future citizens. School
teachers can and are doing much in
intoxicating habits of personal clean
illness on the rural school child, but
this will fail of the highest accom-
pishment unless parents cooperate
heartily and continuously. This is
a duty which we owe our children.

AN APPEAL FOR THE WAR SUF-
EERERS,

On Tuesday, August Sth, the Nine Days
of Fasting and Sorrow came to an end.
On that day the Jews throughout the
world observed Tisha BOv in prayer and
fasting to commemorate the destruction
of their temple by their foes. No doubt
but small percentage of our Jewish
brethren were able to partake in the OBJ
servancc of this national holiday in the
way of fasting. To these Jews, as we'll
as all others who so feel inclined, the
Orthodox Rabbits of America call upon
to make some sacrifice in the way of a
small donation for the benefit of the Jew
ish War Sufferers in Europe. They have
asked that every Jew who did not fast
on the Ninth Day of Alb donate twenty
five cents to the War Relief Fund. Sew
eral hundreds have already donated this
small amount and more toward the fund,
and we have been asked to make this
announcement through this paper in or
der that those who have as yet not do
mated may have the opportunity to do so.
At the Kennesth Israel Synagogue $165
was donated on the eve of Tisha B'Ov by
those who attended. The amount is very

the people of Americas.

throughout the city.
The people are requested to o.
serve the week, and every day there
after. Prepare for the summer sea-
son. Protct your life and happiness,
DR.. Douglas NJ. Mayes, city physician
and health officer, has addressed
communication to the people which is
worthy of your deep consideration:
Next week is Cleanup Week, and
the interest you are taking in it is
very gratifying to the health depart
ment. AS most of you doubtless know,
the city has no all-time sanitary in
spector, and, therefore, we, perhaps,
get careless during the period not
inspected, and allow the accumulation
Of garbage, such as old tin cans,
brush, rags and excrement from sta
bles and dry closets that are, as We
ell know, breeding material and hous
ing for all kinds of diseases I noticed
q -SPOAt II O4ll INC government lew
days ago calling the attention of the
public to the danger of tin cans in va
cant lots as causing malaria, by be-
ing fine breeding place for the mos.
quito.
AS your health officer, I want to
ask every citizen, white and colored,
10 observe this week and remove from
their premises, or those adjacent to
them, if the owners are non-residents,
all garbage of every description, ana
let's go in for the best years health
the city has ever enjoyed. 1t will not
be long before inspections of your
yards will be made, and good clean
irg right now will give you a clean
sheet then.
Scientists all over the world are
devoting more time to the prevention
of disease than they are to the cure,
ard there is no room for argument
! that sanitation and cleanliness head
the list when it comes to prevention.
1t is needless to try to tell you the
many faults of the housefy, and how
to get rid Of him, but great deal OF
good can be accomplished in prevent,
ing his breeding. The destroying of
ore egg now will prevent the raising
OF more than 100000 flies during the
coming summer So make every eff
fort to destroy them before they hatch
! by removing every vestige of old trash
not only from your front yard, but
from your entire premises.
Screens are a great blessings to
those who have them, but, perhaps
your neighbor has none, and too,
sometimes flies get in any way; also
mosquitoes 1t is the desire of your
health officer to clean up the city, but
the revenue has been cut so much
since the financial depression, the ar
preparation in this department had to
come down, too; so help us during the
week Respectfully
