Defective Teeth.
st. Adams Messenger.)

Forty eight of the 90 men who were
passed by the medical board in st.
Johnsbury have returned to their Gale
donna county homes, having been re-
lected by the doctors at Camp Greene
IN North Carolina. The trouble with
the majority was poor teeth. This
brings out with additional emphasis
the words of commentator who saws:
1t would appear that the beneficial eff
fects of outdoor life, sunshine, vigor-
Gus play, and ample food, supposed to be
.inseparablv associated with youth in the
country had all been counteractcd in the
case of 4 very large number of deeaved
teeth and other diseases of the oral cav
ity. While the city boys teeth were
+! being inspected at school and treated
eompulsorily, the country boy, who
might live for years without ever see
ing dentist 5 sign or receiving other
than home treatment, was developing

former.
This directs attention to one Of the
very worst features of country life
! the neglect Of the teeth among those
who would be called upon to make an
extra endeaVor TO get to dentist.
Those who live in communities where
dentists are numerous, too often pay
too little attention to these mouth sur
geons, so 1t is not surprising that those
who are miles removed from a dentist
should allow decay to make grave in
roads.
The effect is very bad as is disclosed
by the rejection of SO many young Nor
by the army doctors. MANY serious
diseases have their origin in de
fective teeth, and the health of {
community is seriously affected wher,
little or no attention is paid to this fact

Howe is not connected in any way with
the enterprise at St. Johnsbury. He
looked over the mechanical equipment
in the Caledonian office at the request
of Mr.. Pelley, his former employe, and
counseled with him on some details Of
business. Mr.. Policy is taking hold of
the new venture entirely on his own
responsibility and with no entangling
alliances, and he is entitled to full
credit for his effort, III which every
newspaperman in Vermont hopes he viii

The author of this book, who is Pro

gram, touching directly upon political

ticular persons brain superimposed
