TAKING A CHANCE
WITH YOUR HEALTH

To take chance is a predominant American
Characteristic Everything will come out all right,
we say, and so we go bithely on our way. And
sometimes - many times, in fact - things DO
come out all right, which only makes US more
likely to take the chance the next time
But you can't take chance with your health
and get away with it, Sooner or later Mother
Nature will have her just dues and then the rash
gambler must pay the price in full and pay it with
compound interest, too.
Those of you who have decayed teeth and are
letting them go, suffering the pangs Of toothache
and the baneful effects they have on your per-
sonal appearance and general health, are taking
chances with your efficiency and your chances for
success that you have no right to take.
These days Of fierce competition make it nee
essary for every one of us 10 take the fullest pos
sible advantage of every faculty with which we are
endowed by nature. That means that we must be
just as nearly as possible to the 100 per cent eff
Gent mark at all times.
No one who has bad teeth can be this.

PUREBRED IS MOST
VALUABLE OF STOCK
Reason Is Because He Has Been
Bred for So Many Years
Without Mixing Blood.

Animal Husbandry, Oklahoma A. and
NJ. College. Stillwater.)
The purebred Is valuable because he
has been bred for so many years with
out the admixture of any other blood.
and because each male representing
pure breed Is possessed of the power
to transmit the breed characteristics
of his kind. Purebred also means that
there is a continuous line of purebred
individuals back of him.
/ It must be remembered that where
grade stations or grade bulls are used,
no progress is made. 1t is the pre-
potency Of the breeding that makes 1t
possible for the Angus bull to sire a
large proportion of black polled calves
from different colored or horned
native cows. The purebred is valuable
in grading up. The progress in grad
ing ceases as soon as the purebred sire
is discontinued. Some people are
often misled by the fact that occasion
ally a half-blood is a splendid indi-
vidual, and as far as all outward ap-
pearances are concerned, may be bet
ter than many purebreds.
The undesirable qualities inherited
from the grade sire may not show up
in the first generation, but the worst
show up for several generations after.
The value of purebred Is fundamen.
