The Need of Front Teeth.

A we'll known society woman of Los Angeles tells this good story about herself. "Neuritis is the latest bug bear to the modern up-to-date physi- clan, and when you suffer from it he immediately orders all your teeth ex- tracted-or at least as many as he dares. My physician compelled me to have six taken oUt. Ny dentists office Is on the sixth foo. of a downtown building, but after my teeth were gone I couldn't say sixth, bet thic,Sth. This sounded absurd, coming from a grown woman of my weight and dignity, and I suspected the grins of my fellow passengers in the elevator. The next day told the elevator boy to let me off at the seventh floor, and this I did every day, walking down to the sixth, The boy noted my strange conduct, and undoubtedly thought me crazy"

the winter. From 1030 to 1032 there were no crops raised and people died of starvation by the thousands and remained unburied because tho living were too weak to perform this office. Human flesh was found on the market stalls but this was too expensive for the poor people who lived upon roots. grass and clay. The forest wolves be- came so hungry that they came into villages and devoured the helpless people and it seem d that France was doomed, but when the fields once more bloSsomed with grain the people took courage and for a time food was abundant, then came ihe Crusa dcs when an attempt was made to drive the Mohamme edans out of the Holy Land, and during the first crusade famine and plague caused the death of about 100000 persons in one year.
 During the thirteenth century both England and France suffered serious i ly from 8 scarcity of food and about the middle of the fourteenth century the Black Death, a dread disease inn ported from China. swept over both countries and carried off thousands, and both lands were upset by revolu- , tions and riots. Just before the French l Revolution excessive taxation, brought about by the eXtravagance of the ' French Court and the failure of the crops caused famine in that country and riots were frequent Madame de Maintenon was accused of speculating in corn and her carriage was mobbed | by a hungry crowd who were trying to reach the king at Versailles
 Ireland too has had her share of famines and in several of them Amer ica has been among the first countries to give relief. The one of 1922 was

Rome. Maclius refused to appear and when found in the crowd near the forum he was killed by an officer of the guard.
 Pestilence, war and famine were brought to Rome by tue Gauls some fifty years later. For a time the Ro- mans held the citadel in the face of hunger after the city had been de- stroyed. The invaoers failed to bury the. dead and disease spread through the camps of both the siegers and the sieged.
 About o3. B. C., Rome had another famine caused by the overflow of the River Tiber and Augustus Caeser be- came the pioneer in relief work He is said to have sent his grandson to collect food at various ports on the Mediterranean and then fed the poor free of charg... He attempted to guard agn.-st future disasters by building good roads and ships whereby sup plies coul@; be brought in quickly in case of fami:,e. During the ten years period between IS, A. D., and SS, \. D., g famine swept over Italy dur ing which thousands of persons died
  each day despite the facilities for bringing IT food. There was also a g"eat r'-,c. ake during which Pom- pei and Herculaneum were buried 1 bcneat In lava and ashes Africa and l Syria suffered from famine about the sar'e time when locusts came in great numbers and destroyed what little crops had been saved. A disease so i dreadful accom- panied the famine that noted historian writes that the vul- lures even refused 10 feed on the dead bodies. thousands of which remained unhuried This famine seems to have been general for it extended even to England

half million people in one section fell victims to starvation. There was d revolution and many people became brigands and robbed the few who were able to secure a small amount of food. There was a reign of terror and the peasants were unable to farm the land fearing the bands of bandits who held sway in he country. Cats and dogs were sold for food, the peo- pie paying unheard of prices for meat and even human flesh was eaten. One hist brian tells us that people let down ropes. to which great hooks were at tachcd. from their windows and caught up people who were walking on the streets. After drawing them up they killed and cooked them and then sold the human flesh for food. Property changed hands rapidly by deaths and in one instance d single house passed to thirty different rela- tives in single month.
 England And France
 England too has suffered from fam ines sand during the eighth century there was a dearth of food which led the people to practice cannibalism. Again in the eleventh century about half the population died of starvation, In 1869 the lack of food was so great that people sold themselves into slav- cry in order to obtain enough food to live.
 While all these filings were going on in England. France was suffering from famine as well. During the tenth and eleventh centuries some forty or fifty famines ~are recorded. During one of these. when starvation was at its height, fanatics declared | that the end of the world was at hand. People deserting their homes and shops. went on pilgrimages. The sea

small as compared with the suffering 1St7, when the entire potato crop of tue land rotted During these years the deaths from starvation and dis ease superinduced by lack of proper nourishment ran into hundreds of thousands. Although both America and Great Britain were prompt in their relief work the population of the Emerald Isle began to decline from that time falling from over eight millions in 1S45 to less than five millions today.
 During the FraneoPrussian War Paris suffered from lack of food owing to the great numbers of refugees who locked to he city as the Germans ad- Vanced Dogs. cats and even rats were sold as food and at such prices as were prohibtive to the poorer classes. When the garrison finally surrendered to the Germans, the whole city was in a starving condition. The distress, however, was relieved by foreign na- tions in a short time.
 China, India And Russia China has been prey to famines for centuries, usually caused by inun- datlons which ruin the crops. That country is so densely populated that l hundreds can die without being missed. They are fatalists and when pestilence comes they will spend theil last coin for rice and even sell their daughters into slavery for mere pit
 tance, but they will not riot for food
 It is a well known fact that during the great Chinese famine of 19O61907
 over a quarter of a million of starving l Celestials camped beneath the walls
 of a city in which the warehouses were filled with rice and wheat. They

full understanding of the meaning of food conservation. It is a well known fact that today there is not child living in Poland under two years of age, while hundreds of babies are starving to death in Armenia and many are dying from lack of nourish- ment in Serbia America is seeking to save these little children as well as to allay the bangs of hunger from which their parents are suffering.
 Usually the first cause of famine is the failure of the crops This may be caused by too little rain or too much rain, or by insect pests, earthquakes or untimely frosts. or by the deva sta tions of farm lands through wars and by the taking of farm laborers for soldiers. War and famine breed pes tilence, for dead bodies on a battle field are a pregnant source of plague and when the human body is i'll nour- ished it is an easy prey to disease.
 Famines Of The Bible
 Ten famines are recorded in the Bible, the one in which Joseph played a part being the most noted. Another is found in the book of Ruth. in the story of Ruth and Naomi. Again in the book of Kings it is recorded that during a famine just before the Chris tan era cannibalism was rracticed, human beings being bof1ed and eaten. Roman Empi.o
 The early history Of the Roman Empire is filled with s-sr,ais of the catastrophes caused ry the trtum virate, war, pescile-et. and famine.

did not clamor for the food within but merely sat outside and patiently await. ed death. The Red Cross has done excellent work in relieving these peo- pie and just before the outbreak of the present war they were engaged in some engineering work with the assist ance of the Chinese Government, which was expected to prevent these lnundations and tho spelling Of the crops. IL has not been completed as yet
 India has been scourged by famines from the earliest times and plague runs rampant during these periods of starvation. The number of people who die at these times is staggering for the records show that in the great famine of 1769-1770 ten million peo- pie perished. Failure of the crops owing to the peculiar climatic condi- tionS of the country is the cause. Even as late as 1S76-1S7S more than five million of Inda's people starved to death. Caste, the curse of that f land, is one of the great difficulties in solving the famine problem and hundreds will starve before they will touch food cooked by people of an- l other caste. Great Britain has tried in' various ways to save the people from these pestllences but the race traditions are preserved with such f- delity by the native that they would rather die than give up their fanatical ideas--the inheritance of ages.
 l Russia, whose wheat fields spread over such a large part of the earth's surface has suffered from famine many times and as late as 1911 the sufferers of that land ran into the hundreds of thousands. People lived on weeds and roots and a bitter bread made of acorns. America lent her assistance in this famine. Happily today, although we are facing a crisis which seems unbelievable in the pres ent age, we can by patriotic perse verance in food conservation, by the elimination of waste. keep out those twin sisters of war-fa mine and pestilence-thereby shutting off a repetition of the scenes through which the European countries have passed in by-gonc times.
