Good Teeth The Basis of Good
 Health

Good health is primarily dependent upon good di- gestion.
 Good digestion is largely dependent upon proper| mastication.
 Proper mastication is de- pendent on good teeth. sI The link between good health and good teeth is direct and important. There are many things that contribute to good health but bad teeth sure. ly result in poor health. A call at my office will convince even the layman7 that l have the equipment.

In many hospitals, of course, plastic

her subjects among those whom the
surgeons cannot help. They are sol

to pieces that they present a hideous
spectacle. one which their friends and
relatives prepare to shun. The suf-

unhappy and sensitive and are inclined
to hide themselves away from their

greatly interested in the work of Cap

Montana Farmers Are Badly
In Need of Water on Land.

"Water on our lands during 1917
and 1918 would have meant thousands
of dollars to this country, to the farm
ers, and to the city people," the ex-
ecutive committeeman In charge Of ir-
rigation in the Flathead county farm
bureau, Montana, writes. The Flat
head county farm bureau is deter
mined that the drought conditions Of
the present season shall not be repeat

major lines of work for the year. Diff
ferent localities will handle the prob
lem in different ways. Irrigation in

the farmers to change from straight
grain farming to the practice Of di-

Fruit Pits Make a Highly
Porous Charcoal Which Acts
as Filter in War Gas Mask

"How does the government make gas
masks out of peach stones?" is ques-
ton that every school pupil has asked
Of puzzled parents since the schools
have begun the collection of peach and
plum stones to fight German gas.
The answer is that the stones are
not made into masks, but are trans
formed into charcoal that is used In
the masks.
The American Chemical society In q
bulletin explains the matter in this
way:
"Peach stones are used as the raw
material for making the best grade Of
absorbent charcoal ever produced; and
the charcoal is used in the respirator
for absorbing the deadly gases in the
inspired air.
"How does charcoal act? In the first
place, it is exceedingly porous. 1t is
produced, by roasting wood, dried
blood, or other organic material, and
this roasting decomposes the material
into two parts, one Of them gaseous,
which passes off from the retorts, and
one of them solid, which remains be.
hind as charcoal. Every minute cell
of the wood and every part of cell
gives up some Of the gas during the OPP
Grafton and thus leaves minute pores
all through the material. Thus the wood
charcoal that we know is very bulky
for It's weight and contains innumer-
able fine pores. Now this highly por-
GUS charcoal has remarkable prop
erty Of absorbing certain kindssof SUBJ
stances.
'In the gas mask contaminated air
passes through layer Of highly ac-
tive carbon before it reaches the
mouth, and the poisonous material IS
absorbed. 1t is apparent that the more
active the charcoal is, the more the
absorbing power can be packed into
the small box on the front of the mask.
Now, all charcoal from all sources Ia
not equally active. Hence, before char
coal was used successfully in masks
very active form had to be produced.
And it was found that the hard, dense,
compact substance Of nut shells and
fruit stones formed the most con-
densed and actively absorbing char
coal. The pores Of the charred mate
rial are infinitely fine and numerous
and hence given volume Of the car
bon will do far more work than the
same volume of other kinds OF char
coal."'

"C0L0RED TROOPS
...- FOUGHT NOBLY"

"The colored troops fought nobly."
That was more than half a century
ago. They fought nobly" on the
plains, in the islands of the Pacific
and the Atlantic, wherever they have
been called on to fight. Properly led,
they are magnificent fighting men;
faithful, fearless, devoted, cheerful.
And now in France they are living
up to the reputation they have won
on other, far distint fields.
We have been told of the particu-
larly valorous acts Of two of them.

FOR The POULTRY
GROWER
ossossossssOsssssssss

When the first cold weather of the
season comes there Is temptation to
close the poultry houses quite tightly
In the belief that the fowls confined in
them need that protection from the in
creasing cold. 1t is true that the fowls
must be protected, but If they receive
SO much protection that fresh air is
kept out of the house they will suffer
more from breathing bad air than they.
would from little lower temperature.
The air in tightly closed building
soon becomes laden with impurities
from the breath of the fowls and from
the filth that accumulates. To breathe
this air over and over again is to take
back into the system many Of the i'm
purities that the system is trying to
throw off. AS the oxygen of the air
becomes exhausted 1t can give less and
less heating elements to the body Of
the fowl and gradually the fowls pow
er Of resistance to cold Is reduced.
Unless there Is sufficient ventilation
to keep the air reasonably pure the
house becomes damp and in time
moisture collects on the walls, which
In cold weather turns to frost. These
are some of the reasons why sufficient
ventilation should be provided at all
times and why the hen houses should
not be closed tightly at the approach
of cold weather. Drafts, however,
must not be allowed to blow on the
fowls, particularly when they are on
the roosts at night.

1t always has been SO. In every war

"The colored troops fought bravely."
In the Continental army. in the Am

between North and South and finally
in the brief contest with Spain, the
American of African descent proved
his valor and staying qualities.
Now, in the greatest of wars and
the greatest Of duties, the Negro has
conducted himself so as to win the ap-

Great Demand in Vienna for
Watchdogs and Prices Have
Been Raised in Proportion.

The increasing insecurity of life and
property In Vienna has brought about
great demand for good watchdogs,
according to the following interview
with an official Of the Vienna Animal
hospital, printed in a recent issue of
the Neues Wiener Journal:
1T is fact that persons frequently
come here early in the morning seek
ing dogs before our Office hours begin.
Most of them are wives Of business
men, fOremen, professional men and
others, who have been called to the
cOlOrs, but there are also women who
have learned that we have nice dogs
for distribution and, consequently,
come looking for these faithful and
trustworthy guardians, especially in
view Of the wholesale robberies and
the sinister activities Of numerous
gangs of youthful thieves. As you
know, close watch has to be kept
over the power belts in the factories
to prevent their disappearance, as Is
also the case with lumber in the yards,
and all kinds of goods in the stores
and warehouses.
"Many women, whose husbands are
at the front, are afraid to stay alone
and wish at least to have a watchful
animal with them to give warning Of
the presence Of strangers at the door,
through growing or barking. So the
dog has become a much desired ami
NAL. People willingly pay the 81 tax
and don't seem to worry about the
problem of supplying the dog with
food il they can thus get keen-eared
and loyal guardian. Such dogs are
very dear now. A Doberman' costs
from 800 to $500; shepherds, up to
$12O; coachdogs, up to $40; fox ter
riers, from SIS to $40. and pure-blood
Dackel,' from $12 to $40. Greyhounds
and poodles, on the other hand, have
gone out Of STYLE"
