"Ask Greyerson. / can't remember

Peters eyes narrowed. "What fool

"You can't make me believe that"
Peter insisted. 1T just can't be SO.

His big, red, generous fist described

Whitaker: 81 don't know. Wish 1

TEETH NEED PROPER FOOD.
Milk, Whole Wheat, Oatmeal and Toast
Needed in Diet.

The popular notion that the clean
tooth never decays is a fallacy, DR.. r..
A. Rogers, professor Of clinical dcntis-
try at the state university, believes.
Cleanliness Is important out no abso-
lutte guarantee against decay. The eat
ing Of proper food is fully as essential
as brushing tho teeth. Especially Is
this true in children.
Few parents realize thai childhood
is the most critical period in the life OF
the teeth DIR. Rogers asserts. They
do not appreciate the fact a large num-

times marvel at the ~foolishness of par
ents who worry about their children's
clothes, while at the same time they
pay no attention to their teeth. 1t is
lust as necessary that the temporary
teeth be looked after as the permanent
teeth.
"The most effective way to give the
child a good set Of teeth Is to give him
proper food. No other article or food
is as effective in developing teeth as
milk. I believe that milk should be
drunk In large quantities until the 14th
or 18th year. Whole wheat bread is
another food that has shown itself to
be Of great value in supplying the
proper elements for teeth building.

a communication to the clergy of the
diocese has included a prayer for Gov

the ministers that it be used as often
as convenient during the session of the
Legislature. The text of the prayer
follows:
20 God, the Fountain of Wisdom,
Whose will is the law of happiness for
ctates as for individuals: we beg Thy
guidance and blessing for the governor
and the legislative assembly of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and
all those in positions of official trust:
grant that personal responsibility to
God and man may be recognized by
all, that truth and justice may rule in
the deliberations of our senator's and

may promote Thy glory and the gen.
eral welfare of our citizens both in
body and soul; through Jesus Christ.

Further Peace Negotiations
Are Considered Doubtful

Washington, Jan. /. - The reply
of the entente allies to Germany's
peace proposals had not been for
warded to-day and the indications
were that 1t would not be sent on be-
fore tomorrow at the earliest.
There is no intention to delay il be-
yond the time necessary to make GER
tain that a complete and accurate
copy is being forwarded to all the CEN
trail belligerents. The peace situation
outwardly remained unchanged with
the probabilities that there would be
no further move by the United States
at least until the entente governments
have replied to President Wilson's
note.
The hope that the entente reply to
the German proposals had not closed
the door on further negotiations were
undiminished but the German embas-
sy's attitude that they had been made
doubtful by the reply was reflected
generally.
Although 1t was said some time ago
that Germany would not permit a con-
ference TO be blocked by a demand for
terms the German diplomats feel that
the tone of the entente reply makes an
approach to terms very difficult.
The hope for progress toward
peace negotiations now has turned to
the replies to the Presidents note.
