are everywhere.
These germs have PRACTICAL only
one way of getting into ones system,
and that Is through the mouth, so
dirty mouth is nothing more nor less
than an incubator for germs. And the
body that belongs to the dirty mouth
has usually been weakened by INSULT

which makes it still easier for the
germs to overcome it. You may at this

not only dangerous to you, but render
you a menace to society.
The real reason for taking care of
the teeth is not to make them look
nice and white. but to keep sickness
away" Here the doctor produced an
enormous tooth brush, and showed the
pupils the correct way to brush the
teeth, not across the mouth, but up from
the lower teeth and down from the up

and inside both sets. He drew pictures
on the blackboard and warned the pu-
pills against the use of needles. pins
and wooden tooth picks. all of which
he stated are dangerous.
Use the soft quill tooth picks. they
are not expensive and cannot harm your
teeth. With them you can remove all
the particles Of decayed food that Turk

He also said that two minutes employed
in care of the teeth morning and night
would suffice if care was given to make
the cleaning thorough. and advised the
pupils to visit a good dentist at least
once every six months for inspection
and polishing of the teeth. His talk
was greatly enjoyed by the papils. and
he is to address the other city schools

CARE OF TEETH
Interesting Lecture by Or. Salmons Of
Boston to School Children

Under the auspices of the local
school board, DR.. c. r. Salmons OF
Boston on Friday afternoon addressed
about $50 Of the pupils of the Smith
grammar school on the subject THE
Care of the Teeth" He has been lee
turing on this important topic for the
past seven years, and his talks are ar
ranged for primary, intermediate ana
high school pupils, and are very in
teresting as well as being very in
structive. He commenced his address
by stating that most people never pay
any attention to their teeth until they
commence to ache, and that toothache
is entirely unnecessary.
You know that we have two sets
of teeth and that they form sort of
mill, through which must pass the food
that goes into our stomachs," said the
doctor, producing a set Of false teeth
that would have made a fine set for
Atlas. or Hercules or some other mar
vel Of size and strength. Little par
ticles OF food get caught between these
spaces" he continued. "and when they
decay they form Tactic acid, which is
the only substance that can attack
the enamel which protects our teeth
and cause decay.
Zone Of the most common causes Of
illness is the swallowing Of bits of
this decayed food, and another is the
improper chewing of food on account
Of faulty teeth. indigestion resulting
from the inability Of the stomach to
assimilate food which has not been
thoroughly masticated" He spoke of
the habit which people have Of getting
their front teeth fixed up, on account
of appearances, and having the back
molars extracted at the first sign of
trouble "And it is those big back
teeth, the grinders. which do the work.
Every one of them that you lose cuts
down the efficiency of your mill"

After few days at Swinemuende, the
prisoners were transferred to the camp
at Neustrelitz, where they were held for
a month in quarantine. The condition

the horsehandlers from the Georgia, was

boats in this condition. Three Ameri-
cans were without shoes in the snow

was supplied. Others would have been

available clothing aboard.
