FREE DENTAL CLINIC \
FOR M|N0T CHILDREN
Local Dentists Offer Services Free
I Providing Room and Equipment
at Their Disposal in New High
School Auditorium

School Auditorium
DR.. Frank l.. 'Householder,, repre-
senting the Minot dental board, ap-
peared before the Town Crers Club
Tuesday evening and placed before
that body the plan of the Minot den
fists to install free clinic for the
school children of Minot at the new
high school building, the dentists re-
curing only that room and dental
equipment be furnished them. The
plan was so we'll received by the club
that committee composed of Presi-
dent w. f. Jones, C. A. Johnson,
L. J. Byerly and DR.. Householder was
appointed to take the matter up with
the citizens of Minot as a whole and
with the school board in particular.
The Town Criers organization is back
of the proposition and in all prob
ability this clinic will be established.
DR.. Householder delivered the fol-
lowing address to the members of
the club explaining the features of the
plan:
"Decaying teeth are certain aid
to risease and serious obstacle in
combating it. DR.. Charles Mayo, at
a public lecture in st. Paul last week,
said, Eighty five per cent of human
ills are traceable to causes in the
mouth and throat.
Neglected teeth lead to imperfect
ma astication. With exposed nerves
and sore gums, the child bolts its
food. This leads to indigestion and
asidosis. Lack of use of the teeth
and muscles of mastication soon i'm
pair the whole facial and cranial
structure, which, in the young child,
is in process Of development within
and without. The materials neces-
sary for growth of bone and brain
tissue are dependent upon good blood
supply, and this supply is impossible
under such conditions.
This being true, we can readily
appreciate how great and vital is our
responsibility to the children. We
are in duty bound to provide some
means for their protection against
the ignorance and lack Of interest of
the parent.
"Now let US look at this subject
from cold-blooded. financial stand
point, Why have many of our larg-
est business corporations installed
dental clinics for their EMPLOYEES,
Montgomery Ward, Metropolitan
Life and hundreds of others? Simply
because of the added efficiency of an
emplovee whose teeth, and thereby
his health. are of the best. Records
kept of the work in the clinics of the
Metronolitan Life COMPANY are very
intere sting and show the seriousness
of neglected teeth. The percentage
of increase in the number of the fol-
lowing diseases, in those with infect
ed teeth over all others is as follows:
Increase
Neuritis and Neuralgian.- .------ 1OGo
Colds ----------------- 1879
Headaches ---- 500
Skin diseases ------ $50
Furuncle ------------------- $50
Nervous troubles -l17g9
"m patients having blind assesses.
a much larger increase is shown.
Gan examination of School children
Of the New York State shows nine
tv-fve per cent of children under
fourteen wears of age with defective
teeth. DR.. McCrum of Kansas CITY
saws that seventy-fve per cent OF
children's diseases are developed in

Clay Wimburn came in after dinner
His protests against Daphne's project
were louder than Bayard's. with the
added rancor of Jealousy. But he had
no substitute to offer.
She forebore to tell him of the Gerst
affair. He was deep enough in the
mire. He went away little later and
she returned to her cubLyhole with
the Chivvises.
Those were black days for all Amer
lea, suffering under the backfire from
the sudden war and from the long ia
tigue of hard times. There were weeks
of dread lest the United States be
sucked into the maelstrom at time
when it was least prepared in money,
arms, or spirit. Never, perhaps, in hui
man chronicle had so many people
looked with such bewildered misery
on SO many people locked in such
multifarious carnage.
At such time, as in an epoch of
plague, there came desperate need
of respite from woe; soldiers sky
danced in gay colors; festivals were
held in the name Of charity; frivoli-
ties and vices were resorted to that
good souls might renew themselves
for the awful work before them.
1t was in such mood of imperative
demand for cheer of some sort that
Tom Duane swan back into Daphne's
gloomy sky.
Daphne had come home after a
of rebuffs. She was heart
sore and footsore, in shabby boots
that she could not replace. She was
called to the telephone, and Duane's
voice chanted in her ear with tone
Of peculiarly comforting melancholy.
"That you, Miss Kip? This is me,
Mr.. Duane. Poor Tom Duane. Poor |
Toms a-cold. 1 came back to town |
early. have something |
important to say to you. Will you
AXE little ride with me in my carr"
"Why not?" she said, with laugh. |
She was glad that he could not see the
ears that gushed across her eyelids.
''Three cheers for you! I'll be there
line with me, could you? Or could
-ou?"
Again she answered, "Why not?"
Duane's voice rang back: "Tip-topl
you've made me happy as a box of
'ups. I'm halfway there already"
