people in later life are due to neg
lected childhood. Bad teeth, for eX-
ample, cause imperfect maSticat1on OF
the food, resulting in stomach and in
festival disorders, which set up poi
sons to be absorbed into the blood,
causing hardening of the arteries and
heart trouble. Enlarged tonsils and
adenoids impair breathing. The child
becomes a mouth breather, who is al
ways a shallow breather. The result
may be pneumonia or tuberculosis.
Bad Teeth.
In one of the Kansas towns visited
by DR.. Devi1biss, a beautiful boy, the
son of a banker, was brought to her.
The teeth were faulty, those of the
lower jaw protruding beyond the up
per teeth, interfering with the proper
mastication of the food. The boys
health was beginning to suffer, and he
was fast losing his good looks. The
boy was referred to a dental expert
who could easily correct the fault
while the child was young.
Last year the state held 400 baby
week exhibits and contests which is
one-fifth the number held in the en-

The second week in May is the date
set for the first of these clinics. Along
with this work will be inaugurated the
better mothers contest, in which
mothers will be graded according to
their fitness to care for children A
confidential registry will be establish

deeply interested in the movement
and are cleaning from the department

4 PASSING FOOLERY.

April Fools day has lost much of its
ancient charm 1t was a holiday Of
sorts years ago. devoted to foolery and
fun. Now It is only the first OF the month
turned over TO the collectors who are
about the only ones fooled and disap-
pointed. Such stock jokes as salt in
the sugar bowl, trick candies and the
infinite variety of foolishness once
prevalent and proper seem to have
disappeared. The children are not
called out of bed in the morning to see
wonderful sights. Things that used to
be funny have come to be considered
foolish. Like Valentines day and New
Years calls and a lot Of things yvery-
body was doing then we don't do them
now.
A great deal Of old fashioned foolish
ness IS better gone; but the suggestion
comes with its departure that simple
things no longer appeal to us. The fact
Is that we seem unable to have a good
time nowadays unless It Is expensive
or different. Quiet old games have Civ
en- place to others more complicated
and costly. There was a time when a
neighborhood could hold holiday with
three or four sets Of horseshoes. But
not any more. The common amuse-
ments of the elder days are now as two
old cat to a professional baseball game,
a magic lantern show against million
dollar film spectacle or a school exhi-
oitiou against the latest musical com
edy.
4 great deal Of water has run under
the bridges since we used to await
April Fools day with anticipation and
in the spirit Of carnival; but water has
always run swiftly under the bridges of
the years and Will keep on running
while the years bridge time. Somehow
it seems to run faster than it used to.
Perhaps that is because our blood runs
slower who remember.
But at that It would seem kind O old
fashioned and good to cut into a pan
cake on the first Of April and find that
mother had deity slipped lining of
flannel inside, now wouldn't 1t?

Well. pretty soon the little bunny

pointed to And only some china eggs
