THE TEETH
AND HEALTH
BY DR.. SAMUEL G. DIXON
Commissioner of Health of Pennsyi-
Vania.

vania.
We frequently hear specialists de-
claring that the health of mankind de-
ponds upon the proper care of that
portion of the body upon which they
specialize. Now, the human organism
is SO complicated an affair that nobody
is safe in putting such a sweeping re-
sponsibility upon any one organ; yet
there are many who will say the dental
surgeon. when he makes his claim that
defective teeth have more to do with
physical degeneration in mankind than
any other member gone wrong. has
more behind him than some of his
brother specialists.
His is claim that cannot be
know through scientific investigation.
as we'll as from experience in practice,
that defective teeth cause Il great deal
Of i'll health ;@and / am one of those
who will go as far as to say that care
of teeth from infancy onward brings
certainly as great, and possibly great
err, rewards than like care of any other
one organ.
1t is a wonder men and women do
not take better care of their teeth, not
because of the benefit TO health--be-
cause that seems to be the last thing
we could hope to have any influence,
but because there is nothing that adds
more to the personal appearance of
man or woman than a beautiful set OF
teeth If for instance, some women
would pay as much attention to their
teeth as they do to putting splotches
of paint on their faces, they would
not only be more attractive personally
but would enjoy better health,
The mouth and nose are the busiest
ports of entry for disease in the hui
man body. The mouth, particularly
when the teeth are defective. retains
many germs that would produce dis
ease, and the environment will furnish
that which promotes their multiplica-
ton.
The mucous membrane of the
mouth is in itself quite resiStful to dis,
ease germs, yet at times it becomes
infected and the pus-forming germs
bore their way into the bones of the
face, producing long suffering, disfig-
urement and sometimes even proceed
until they destroy the life of the indi-
yidual.

Soldiers Biscuits.

The Indian and Australian can make
their own army biscuits; the formers
is "chupattys" the latter's damp
err" A "chupatty" results from the
mixing into a stiff paste by an In
dian of -four salt and water, and bak-
ing it on a metal dish over a hot fire.
But the Indian cook seems q, .neces-
safy ingredient to make it tasty as
well as nutritious.
"Damper" needs flour, baking pow
der water and wood. A hole in the
ground is the oven. Fill it with wood,
and while that is burning make the
dough. Then lay it on a large stone,
cover it with a tin, and cover the tin
with the hot wood ashes, and the re-
suit will be "damper"

of the public to an extent which will
achieve substantial results"
There have been Baby weeks" held
in New York, Pittsburgh. Washington
and many of the other large cities of
the country. They have been uniform
ly successful The object of the Baby
week" campaigns is to give the parents
of the community the opportunity to
learn the facts with regard to the care
of theip babies second, to make known
to the community the Importance of
it's babies, the special facts relating
to the babies of the community, and
the need of permanent work for their
welfare.
A pamphlet published by the chill
dren's bureau called Baby Week Cam
paigns' contains minute instructions
concerning the methods of starting the
"Baby weeks" and OF conducting them
in communities of various sizes. This
pamphlet of suggestion can be had
upon application to the bureau in
Washington.
The children's bureau concerns itself
with the maternity side of the great
work which it has in hand. "Remem-
her the mothers. Well-Wred-for,
healthy mothers are necessary FOR the
health and happiness of their babies.
Find out what your community is DO
ing to insure to every mother skilled
advice and adequate care before her
baby Is born and during her contine-
ment. and give the Importance of pro-
tecting the mother permanent place
in the educational work of the cam
paign."
Recently congress passed child
labor law which places heavy pen
atty upon the introduction into inter
state commerce of goods made or pre-
pared in factories where little children
are employed The question of child
labor has been a crucial one for many
wears. Congress was asked time and
again to pass law which would pro-
tect the little ones compelled by their
parents or by the very force of hard
circumstances to work before their
strength could bear the hardship of
toll. The children'S bureau has for
one of it's concerns the safeguarding of
American children from the evils of
hard, combining employment while they
are of tender years.
When the real basis of things is
reached. the high death rate among In
fants is an appalling picture. Perhaps
it would not be too much to say that
to reduce the awful rate of infant NOR
tality In this country Is the highest
aim of Uncle Sans chiIdren's bureau.
The question of infant mortality in ur-
ban and suburban regions is discussed
at length in pamphlets issued by the
bureau.
1t is almost q platitude TO say that
the citizenship of the country depends
upon the welfare of its children. The
United States wants It's children to
be healthy, morally and physically.
The government takes it for granted,
doubtless. that its desire is the desire
of all parents. The wish is to help the
parents and all others in the work of
safeguarding the little ones of these
United States.

Seven Wonders of Today to
Be Commonplace of Tomorrow

Not q great many years ago spec
tacled and skeptical old scientist wrote
a long thesis in which he claimed that
the worlds great discoveries all lay in
the past, that the future had no new
wonders to disclose, and that all the
really fundamental inventions, discov-
cries and researches had already been
made.
For" said the pessimiStic philoso-
pher, according TO ]. 5. Newman in ST.
Nicholas. there are no more strange
lands to explore, no more conceivable
inventions for the benefit of mankind.
The telegraph, electric light, telephone
and electric motor are already here.
The camera and microscope, telescope
and linotype, printing press and sewing
machine, airship and steamboat are al
ready discovered What else is there
left that is really new?'
Rut mother nature seemed to have
kept her most wonderful secrets for
lust such an occasion. As if deliberate
ly TO disprove the foolish scientist, the
next ten years brought out the most
astounding collection of new Inventions
and discoveries the world has ever
known. For in the period Immediately
following the bold claim of this doubt
ing Thomas, Hertz discovered electric
waves. Mareoni invented wireless teleg-
raphy, Roentgen stumbled upon the
X-ray. Madame Curie isolated radium,
Sir William Ramsay found five new
chemical elements, Edison made his
first moving picture machine, the
Wright brothers conquered the air. and
countless greater or lesser discoveries
astounded the scientific world.
