THE DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH AND SANITATION
By ~ r. Chapman. S~anitarian oI
Myndus, n. N.
CARE OF FIRST
TEETH IMPORTANT
Should be retained until second
set Is ready 10 replace them.

Because the first teeth of the
child drop out so early. parents
often suppose that they are Of
little Importance, and, therefore,
do not bother to take measures
for preserving them. But the
proper shape Of the jaws, de-
ponds on the retention of the
first teeth until the second set Is
ready TO replace them. Also,
every child's physical and mental
growth Of the second set Of teeth
rition, which. in turn requires
sound, symmetrical teeth for
chewing the food and the proper
groth Of the second Set Of teeth
does not take place II the first
teeth IN lost early. Moreover.
IL the first teeth are allowed to
decay. the food. at every motion
Of chewing is mixed with the
micro-organisms that swarm in
the cavities Of the teeth; and
these injurious bacteria are car
ried with the food into the all
mentary canal, to interfere with
digestion and do great harm.
Care Of the teeth should begin
when they first appear. Wipe
off the baby's teeth with a bit of
clean cotton dipped in saturated
boric acid solution, two or three
times a day. When the children
are old enough, teach them to
brush their teeth. After the
cleansing have them rinse the
mouth with the boric acid So
luton. That will remove all
food debris left by the brush.
When a small ca, by appears
have il repaired by the dentist /;
do not extract the tooth.
Retention Of the first teeth
helps 10 cause a normal groth Of
the bOny parts of both the upper
and the lower Jaws. That growth
is necessary in order TO accom-
modate the second set Of teeth,
which are nearly twice as nu-
merous as the first. Early decay
Jr extraction Of the first teeth is
often followed by deformities Of
the teeth and Jaws. which are
humiliating to the child and to
the parents. Sometimes the de-
formities can be corrected by a
skillful dentist but even then il
is generally at the expenditure
of much pain to the child and a
considerable sum of money. This
is surely one Of the things in
which an ounce Of prevention is
worth a pound of cure.

Because this years crop of cabbage will be very large. today's bulletin of the National Emergency Food Gar den Commission. cooperating with this paper in a nation wide food con servation campaign, urges the house. wives to make plenty of sauerkraut for winter use.

When the Mcslens had the little ones they is- sued an order that whoever harbcred any Armenian would be visited with the treatment dealt to the Armenia.is.
 The MosIems therefore, secretly turned the little ones over to Christian them until their resources were ex- hausted. And TOW the latest infor- niatioe from Mardin is that unless funds are immediately forthcoming the thousand orphans must be turned out upon the streets to starve.
 Help must be regular and contin- uous. The committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief has. decided that $5 a month per child will he necessary That is about IT cents a day. Who will add one more child to- his family and reckon the 17 cents along with children and at the end cf each non.h send the s5 to the committee?

Gradually as time wears on are the countries of South America becoming convinced that they must stand to- gether and that they must endorse the stand which has been taken by the United States against the imper- ;al government of Germany. This has been reflected in the action which has been taken by Brazil and Bolivia, by the sentiment which has been ex- pressed in Argentina ard in Chiii and still more by the move which has been made by. Peru and Uruguay in severing diplomatic relations with Berlin. These as well as other South American countries have realized the importance of standing together fer the welfare of that continent
 Peru has handed his passports to the German minister. will insist upon all the German consuls leaving and has recalled it's representa- sives in Berlin because of the manner in which it's rights on Nthe high seas have been violated. It has resented the man ner in which it's protest and demand for apology and indemnity has been treated. In the case of Uruguay. as pointed out by its president. there is no direct offense but it considered it necessary to break with Germany i1 order to espouse the cause of the de- lenders of justice. democracy and small nationalities. That Argentina will, as the result of the way i. has been, treated land the disclosures which have recently been made, take sides against Germany is highly prob able.
 A break with some of these coun- tries means little or nothing to Ger many. With others. however. it is different matter and it cannot fail to notice that the tendency is all ih the same direction. Not only is the kali ser's country bound 10 suffer from the creation of this enmity now but it will be reflected in the relations of the future, especially concerning trade, even if these countries do not active ly enter the war. And what is true Of South America is also true of Cen tral America.

 That this may be one of tho reasons why the number of deaths and injuries is so large is possible for it is to be re- membered that it is the advice of the authorities that places of as great safety as possible should be sought, and they. are invariably the cellars. It Is with the idea of giving the peo- pie time to get to such places that the warning signals are given and not for the purpose of calling them out for such entertainment as they may get by witnessing the attack.
 When the bombs are landing the cellars afford as much protection AS can be secured. The buildings may be struck and damaged but those in the cellars are as far away from the death dealing missiles as they can get But in addition to the danger from the bombs there are the shots fired by the anti aircraft guns and the expieding shrapnel which must be avoided, for every shot that is fired into the air Is bound to come back to earth and If the people are crowd ing the parks. the streets or the housetops they are making targets Of themselves for their own. guns. A considerable respellszbility therefore rests upon the individuals and proper use should be made of the warnings which they receive. I
