The teeth are an important factor In

decayed teeth cause foul breath and
do not permit the thorough mastica-
ton Of food. This creates intestinal
disorders. caused by humps Of partly

IN the stomach.
All food must he In a liquid state

Green Flash of Sunset.

One of the most rarely witnessed OF
natural phenomena. but one that has
often been discussed at scientific meet
hgs and that always awakens wonder
when seen, Is the so called green
lash" occasionally visible at the mo
ment of the disappearance Of the sun
behind clear horizon. The observers
eye must be fixed upon the rim Of the
sun as it disappears In order to catch
the phenomenon. One authority tells
as that he has seen the green fash,
although rarely, at the instant OF the
setting of bright star. Among the
explanations offered is one based upon
the optical principle OF complementary
colors II one looks at the sun and
then closes the eyes green disk will

Lock Canals.

The Egyptians had canals be- ore the
days of st. Paul, but the lock canal
which made it possible TO cross noun,

Sefore Columbus discovered America
To be told that Raphael in his spare

told that Leonardo da Vinci was
pioneer canal lock builder.
But the hand that put upon the walls
of that historic church In Milan The

for NIilan's canal
That was just five YEARS before an
other Italian from the nearby town OF
Genoa sailing a Spanish ship came to

lock system was born canals had to be
on level ground. although in China
they had them on slight inclines.-

you. I have q dim recollection of
tasting one many years ago, and will
say this-the gravy was quite ten
