Even Yellow Root.

Even yellow root, that good, old fam
lily remedy for lot Of Ills, has adj
vanced in price, due, of course, to the
war, says the Indianapolis News.
Prices on everything else have gone up,
so why not the price Of yellow root ?
An East end man called at neigh
borhood drug store the other day and
asked the druggist for two cents worth
of yellow root. Two cents worth
should be enough. in ordinary times, to
answer all practical purposes.
The druggist took a bottle OF yellow
root from the shelf. He removed the
stopper and placed the bottle to the
nose of the customer. The latter took
q good "whlff."
Eyes, that's it." he said. "Glve me
two cents worth"
"Well, you've had It," the druggist
replied. "A smell is all you get now
for two cents"
The customer increased the purchase
to dimes worth, which, by the way,
was not much.

Brazilians Are Courteous.

Brazilians are among the most
suavely courteous and considerate
people In the world. Etiquette Is a
matter of great formality. Acquaint-
anceS raise their hats to one another
in passing, no matter how often they
may meet In the course Of a day. A
crowded street car is full of murInured
apologies from those getting on and
off. The BraZiians pride themselves
on having inherited the finest tradi-
tons of manners and artistic feeling
from the Latin nations of southern
Europe. Courteous, temperamental
and courageous, the typical Brazilian
Is quick to resent any encroachment
on his rights and slow to abandon the
fight to maintain them.

Old illustrated Book.

One of the oldest illustrated books
is an edition of "Aesop's Fables" pub
lished about 1471. 1t has initial letters
Of great interest, and upward of 100
very curious wood cuts. The copies
which have survived the centuries are
bound In thick oak boards, covered
with stamped leather. There was a
book published in Florence only five
years after the Aesop which had three
copper-plate engravings, and one of
the most remarkable features of the
early illustrated works is the grace and
excellent fancy of their toil-pieces and
type, and the fresh look which the ink
has.

FRENCH WOULD PROTECT
HISTORIC ART TREASURES

PARIS, Sept 1.-Senator GULL
aume Chastenet has introduced bill
int o the Senate which, ii it becomes
law, will have a certain interest for
American art collectors The object of
the bill is to protect Frances his
toric and artistic treasures" which the
Senator thinks will be in greater dan
ger than ever after the war.
An article in the bill proposes a pro-
gressiye export tax on all works of art
leaving the country. The senator sug-
gests a 10 per cent tax on the first
$1,000, Is per cent on the second, ana
20 per cent on the third. The value
of the work of art is to be established
BY a declaration of the exporter, as
checked by the expectation bureaus, a
committee of experts to decide when
there is disagreement.
The other provisions of the bill are
drawn UP on the lines of Italian legis-
lation for the preservation of artistic
treasures and aimed at preventing eX-
portation.

for temporary teeth.
A decayed tooth is like a rotten
apple in barrel in that it is apt to
involve all the others.
The teachers in the public schools
Of Sumter county should teach child
rem the Importance of care of the
teeth. At least once year the
child's teeth should be examined by
a dentist.
The teeth of all school children will
be examined during the fail by tie
County Health Commissioner. What
ever defects are found will be report
ed to parents. Frequently a child
may have bad teeth without the parent
being aware of the fact. Only defects
of the permanent teeth and those that
need attention will be reported.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-09-02
DANGER OF DEFECTIVE TEETH


Most people seem to regard teeth
as just happen so" and that they
can get along without them about as
well as with them. 1t is stated that
only about ten per cent of people hav-
ing decayed teeth, have any dental
work done, other than extractions.
This should not be SC, and it is no
wonder that many of our people be-
come diseased as a result of decayed
teeth.
Up until recent years it was not
thought that defective teeth affected
anything but the mastication of food,
thereby causing indigestion This is
worthy of consideration, but more re-
cent studies and investigations have
proven beyond question that some OF
our most serious diseases result from
cavities in the teeth. The cavity in
the teeth may be a place of entry OF
dangerous bacteria into the system
Many rheumatic conditions, joint
troubles and even valvular disease OF
the heart have been directly tracaable
to dental cavities,
In the light of our present knowl-
edge, it is to be deplored that some
parents will allow q child's perma-
nent teeth to remain full Of foul cavi-
ties and the teeth finally be lost. The
first permanent molars are perhaps
the most important teeth in the mouth
and are the most frequently neglect
ed because they are so often taken
