HEALTH HINTS

Most of the troubles of the teeth
are the result of uncleanliness. Clean
teeth do not decay.
When particles of foodstuffs are left
between the eeth for some time. a
chemical action takes place in which
an acid is produced. This acid is call.
ed Tactic acid. 1t destroys the enamel
and dentine-the main tissues of
which the teeth are made up-form.
ing cavities in the teeth. These cavi.
ties, IL not attended to in time, grow
larger and larger. Soon the whole
tooth is undermined by decay and be-
comes practically useless.
Bad teeth are the cause of much
trouble, aside from the severe pain
which often results from q decayed
tooth. Bad teeth cannot chew the
food properly and poorly chewed food
cannot be properly digested. This
gives rise TO indigestion and other
stomach disorders.
In addition to the remnants of food
there may be deposits of tartar on
the surfaces of the teeth. Tartar is
a precipitate from the fluids Of the
mouth. 1t accumulates around the
necks Of the teeth at the margin of
the gum and has tendency to attract
itself to the tooth structure. The low
en- incisors and upper molars are most
commonly affected.
If the tartar is not removed it irri.
!a.es the gums and makes thYm infiam
ed and spongy. They bleed upon the
slightest touch.
Often it makes the gums unhealthy
arT becomes predisposing cause OF
'he most terrible of all dental disease
-pyorrheo. In this disease there is
a constant discharge of pus from the
sockets in which the teeth are imbed-
ded, the teeth become loose and the
jaw bone is absorbed.
Tartar makes the saliva impure and
in this way leads to stomach derange-
ments, for the food must be mixed
with pure saliva in order to be digest
ed readily. Tartar also gives very
bad odor to the breath.
In order to avoid these troublesome
conditions every individual should
clean his teeth thoroughly after each
meal, before going to bed and on get
ting up in the morning. The tartar
should be removed and the teeth pol
ished by good dentist at least once
every six months.

FOrty-six Cars DetrOying
Tires to Test Durability

Shortening twilights find the six
tire testing fleets of the B. f. Good
rich Rubber Company entering the
home stretch. Out where the red
crags of Yellowstone Park fling
their GRANTEES to the pearly west
ern skies the mountain squadron Is
penetrating. the twisting canyons to
a copcentration point; the Dixie fleet
is crushing leisurely north to an
swer assembly at Dayton, o.; the
Lake fleet has forsaken the turn
pixies of Minnesota and Northern
Michigan and is now skipping jaunt-
lily through Central Michigan; the
Prairie fleet is cooperating with
the Lake flotilla in the Wolverine
State before moorIng in Detroit; the
Atlantic fleet has strayed from It's
base at Philadelphia ana is explor-
ing the panorama of New England,
while the Pacific coast squadron has
launched an offensive against the
Western Alps in order to form a
junction with the tourists at Yellow
stone. 1t is estimated that by Oc-
tober 3 the forty-SiX cars engaged
in the noVal pastime of destroying
tires will have reached the fold with
new mileage records. With larger
fleets operating this year than last
the distance figures for 1915 should
D6 easily SuTpdSSeu. In 1910 test
tire fleets travelled 4,688,412 miles
or the equal of six hundred and
thirty trips from New York to San
Francisco and return, and used up
ward of 100000 gallons of gasoline.
Since early March Goodrich
crews have been maneuvering all
over the country testing tires.
Drivers were abjured to spare no
pains in giving castings vigorous play
and to adhere strictly to the course
mapped out, tempting detours not
withstanding. Tires were to be used
until they had been reduced to
shreds. Only then could they be
replaced.
In order to insure a thoroughly
balanced test, cars of different
makes, types and weights were en-
ployed. This more accurately ap-
proaches the normal condition of
the tourist. 1t was the realization
that experiments conducted within
the environs of Akron did not re-
fleet general road conditions that
led to the expansion of the tours
and the visits to fields where Good
rich treads were almost as rare as
the paths of the aborigine. Each
night, effects of roadbeds on tires
are wired to the Goodrich labora-
tories at Akron.

STATE MEAT LAW
RIGIDLY INVOKED

The State Livestock Sanitary
Board, whose officials are in charge
of enforcement of the state pure
meat law, have been rigidly invok-

information on infractions as the
best means of cooperating with the
consuming public.
Through the activity of agents of
the State Department of Agriculture
INSCRIPTIONS meat dealers who have
been purchasing and slaughtering
diseased cattle and selling the meat
have been prosecuted in several
counties under the meat hygiene act
of 1915 and large fines have been
imposed on several violators.
In Washington county butchers
purchased diseased cow from a
farmer for five dollars, with an
agreement that the butchers were 20

carcass. Instead the COW was dress
ed for food and converted to ham,
burg steak and sausage. The board
officers here were informed of the
transaction and after trial in the
washington county courts lne DutCH-
ers were found guilty under the
meat hygiene law of selling diseased
meat and paid fine and cost
amounting to $792.40.
Another case in Westmoreland
county resulted in an employe of a
butcher market pleading guilty to
having prepared for food the car
cass of a tuberculosis COW. The COW
dropped dead in the road while be-

the carcass was dressed on the road
side and the meat delivered at the
store the next morning. In the even
