You Can't Make a Hard Tooth
Of Pure Gold
Here Is Comfort for Some Who Have Failed-and an
Explanation.

That which is absolutely pure lacks strength And that
which Is strong to resist friction lacks absolute purity.
In dentistry this made clear by experience and prac-
tice
In history it is made clear too often by the flames that
burned men.
wise dentist and doctor was talking:
Nature limits her gifts to matter to men"
The best and most valuable Of metals is gold But we
can use 1t PURE only when surroundings protect it.
If dentist builds tooth he cannot make it of gold
pure For pure gold will stand the friction the biting
the struggle that go on among teeth tooth all of pure
gold imperVious to acid always bright would be an inter
esting institution. But that cannot be made.
Fortunately we can use pure gold in filings When

defy in that filling all of nature action.
We mix the gold with baser inferior metal and build
tooth that will crack nuts and last long time-but it will
grow black and show the base mixture in it.
There ought to be moral in this fact that fes friction
Is too much for the noblest and purest of metals.
There IS an excellent lesson in this doctors talk For
man in contact with the world and its struggle Is exactly
the gold that the dentists in their work
Many good man has gone to the wall-because he was

But far too often the of pure character free from

To Business Men Worrying
About the Future
You Need Not Worry for a

Some business who see here and there slight
check apparent prosperity think that to mean bad
business, bad times poor sales.
It will nothing of the kind. Quite the contrary.
Immediately following wars declaration there comes
q shock check People do not know what to do or what
to think And few of them hoard their money believing
that it is the last money they will ever see.
The fact is that there has begun now in the United
States such an oUTPoURNG OF MONEY the world
has never dreamed of.
The Government that hesated and wondered before it
built the Panama canal is spending HERE IN AMER
ICA enough money to build two Panama canals every two
weeks-and will spend more.
This money is going through channels of all sorts
INTO THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE.
Boys that were getting -Four Dollars week and glad
to get it, get Seven, Ten Twelve and more.
Every man knows how hard is to keep employees,
less they extremely well paid This that high
pay Is almost universal Ninety per cent of all human
beings SPEND ALL THEY HAVE And 80 per cent Of
the people in the United States will have from
MORE MONEY than they ever had in their lives AND
THEY WILL SPEND IT.
What will happen three four five years from now
when this country begins to pay the bills and realize how
big they the world wakes from this dream Of
murder and blood and expenses another story.
But for the immediate future, Mr.. Business Man. take
this advice:
Buy goods freely, fill your store, STOCK UP. You will
be dealing with public in such spending mood has
never been known and with such spending POWER never
was dreamed of.
This nation has spent the days since George Washington
In accommodating wealth in piles.
The Government Is spending the days and nights now
shovelng out that wealth in billions.
Nothing but the marvellous business prosperity

These observations print as NEWS for the guidance
Of those Interested We add moraizng observations

II must be taken care Of.
He is not afraid, because he
has ventured to understand. He
works out the law of his own na-
ture and obeys it, voluntarily. He
finds his own nourishment for
himself and he clothes himself. He
takes the full responsibility Of
himself.
He does not need comforts and
ease, freedom from exertion and
responsibility as he did when he
was a child, and his mother was
all this to him.
The clamor for comfort and
the need Of it diminishes with
growth and the increase Of pow
er. With every year Of life q mans
existence should become less per-
sondl and more fused with life
around him.
The men who are thinking Of
their feelings and their needs at
the age of thirty-five, which is the
turning point, are in the grasp Of
the relentless destroying mother
the mother who devours her sons
and their possible achievements
and creations.
Of course, 1t Is this power which
tends to resist growth that / am
calling the destroying mother" to
make you understand.
1t Is the power that Is felt as
slackness, cowardiee, fear Of life
and responsibility, and which
tempts by thoughts Of leisure, ease
and the sheltered life, far from
the upward tending struggle for
new wisdom as yet unconquered.
1t is the mother Of failure, un-
fruitfulness-and death.
And 1t is a power which you viii
see embodied in some Of the real
mothers Of men.
In those strong and masterful
women whose only self-expression
Is In dominating and who all un-
Willingly hold their sons In their
strong grasp from the beginning
so that their sons, doomed to be
sons forever and sons only de-
rive what life they do derive,
from this source alone.
These are the bachelorsl
These are the failuresl
The stay-at-homes!
They have never made that e.
sentidl escape from the mother
that is necessary for producing
and achieving.
These are the men who remain in
love with their mothers. They
never make good husbands.
These are those husbands who
never cease talking Of the cake
their mothers used to mAkel
The Washington times., 1917-09-13

THE mother Is the creator, but
with the double value Of all
I earthly conceptions, she
may be also the destroyer.
She represents comfort to the
child. She nourishes, warns and
encourages. She teaches.
To the child, the most perfect
mother is she who lets him ad-
venture into the world. and when
he is tired and hungry lets him
return to her unrebuked, to receive
rest, food and fresh conceit of him
self.
The younger the boy, the more
comfort he is able to take from the
mother, the more care and atten-
ton, the less responsibility he has
himself.
The men who have not really
grOUH up are the ones who have
never been able to relinquish the
mother-comforts and the ease of
life that mothers give.
These men may be observed all
along the line of repression, stuck
in various stages of immaturity-
in varying degrees Of shirking re-
sponsibility.
They cannot get away from
their mothers.
The mother Is a creator from
the time her son is conceived to
the age of early young manhood.
But then he must leave her and
make himself and his own way in
the world.
She must not keep him by her
keeping him helpless and needing
her, she will turn into the terrible
destroying mother in spite of all
her love.
To keep him when he Is old
enough to leave her is to exploit
him for her own qualification!
In the animal world the moth
er bird pushes the young birds
from the nest as soon as they can
fly,
In life the strongest force is
groIOth.
But the next strongest is re-
sistdncs.
All through nature you will find
these two powers in opposition.
The creating mother and the
destroying mother.
In humanity these two mothers
of life are struggling for mastery
over men.
One tendency is for men to be-
come gods-the other tendency is
drawing them back to childhood.
The child is afraid, because it
does not know what things
mean. The child must be guided
and guarded and fed and clothed.
