CLARENCE MITCHELL
NOW MAKING GOOD

Clarence Mitchell. of the
Cincinnati Reds, had lost six
straight games-and most of
them were badly pitched
before he came through with
a victory against the St.
Cardinals on Decoration day.
Even in that he was hard hit.
though he kept them scat
tered But when ne came back
against the New York Giants
on June s and held them to
four hits II began to look as
though he had arrived. But
for the lucky bound OF A
short fly he would have
blanked the Giants and in all
but two innings he retired
the side In order.
Mitchell thus takes his
place as a regular member Of
Mathewson's pitching staff
he won't have to play the
outfield, a fate that had been
threatened Mitchell is of the
class known as hitting pitch
ers- Last year because Of his
ability to hit he was used
both in the outfield and on
first base, and il may be that
this shifting around had
something to do with spoil
ing him as a pitcher. He got
into about 60 games.

them than at any other time in the
worlds history because they are more
able to preserve them thru the aid or
the dentist.
1T is a fallacy to believe that the
structure of the teeth now is less sub
stantial than the structure of the teeth
of men several centuries ago., one
dentist said. Studies of skeletons that
have been dug up, even those OF pre-
historic man, refute this. Many peo-
pie point to the African savages as eX-
amples of people who have perfect
teeth without the aid of a dentist, but
it has been shown that these people
do not eat the sticky food we eat, but
live on diets that polish the teeth and
some of them aid preservation by
chewing sticks that have a beneficial
influence and even in some parts of
Africa the natives have been known to
dye their teeth with a substance that
preserved them

The first clinic will be held tomor-

is anxious to get subjects to work on,
desiring both people who have teeth
that need pulling and those who have
cavities that should be filled.
That hypnotism, or the power of
mental suggestion. is one of the most
valuable tools a dentist can use in his
practice is being impressed upon the
members of the association attending
the post graduate course, and more
and more It is being admitted that
the maker of mOlarS who puts his
personality into his work has a better
chance of success than the man who
does his work in purely mechanical
way. DR.. Smith recognizes the power
of hypnotic influence and believes it
a valuable asset when used along with
in nerve blocking.
Study of Models.
In his talk today, DIR. Gunner con-
tinues his discussing of Partial Den
tugs and he illustrated his lecture
with an elaborate study of models and
skeletons and made a strong appeal
against the use of closed bridges. DR..
GUNNER has made a profound inn
preston upon his hearers who assert
he. is one of the most forceful au-
thorities on his subject they have ever
heard. However, he has gotten him
self into a bit of trouble by proving
that he is an accomplished pipe or
ga1iist as well an authority on den
tai authorities and his hearers would
like TO keep him busy playing and
talking all the time.
IN the course of study, so far as it
has gone. many startling and interest
ing things have been brought out
about the mouth and teeth. DR.. Price
asserts that the condition of a mothers
teeth undoubtedly has n direct in
flunce upon the health of her unborn
Children and related the results of a
number of experiments he has made
to prove this. In one instance he took
disease germs from the mouth of a
woman, transmitted them to the
meEth of a female dog. Later expert
ments on the dog showed that she not
only had become a victim of the dis
ease the woman was suffering with.
but the pups also were victims of this
disease.
Conditions Are Better.
1t is believed by many dental au-
thorities, it was brought out, that,
while the average person abuses his
teeth more by the use of sticky foods
than people did in the earlier ages of
civilization, more people are taking
