min. Uncle wiggily pulled 1t back
with the elastic. Then he aimed
the spool gun through an upstairs
window at the Pip on the steps be-
low.
Look out!" cried the bunny. He
let go of the elastic, which snapped
back and shot the hatpin, sharp
end first, right at the Pip. The
pin struck him on the nose!
"Oh. wow" howled the Pip. DO
you call this souse? 1 don't! Wow.
Wouch" and away he ran, driven
off by the bunny's hatpin spool
gun. Then Mr.. Longears finished
sewing the rubber on Baby Buntys
hat. and he let her shoot small
blunt sticks from the spool gun.
and she didn't chase him any more

THE HEAD NURSE SAYS:
KNOW OUR TEETH

In the adult there are thirty-two
teeth which have different shapes
corresponding to their different
functions. They are symmetrically
arranged on either side of the mid
die line and from front to back lie
as follows: Two incisors, or cut
ting teeth. chisel-shaped; one cuspid
known as the eye tooth or canine
which is pointed and adapted for
tearing tough matter; two bi-cus-
pids which get their name from
their double crown, and three mo-
lars or grinders, the last of which
appear after the individual reaches
adult life and are known as Evils
dom teeth"
In childhood both sets of teeth
are in the Jaw with the exception
of the wisdom teeth so that the
jaw then contains forty eight teetn.
From the age of the milk teeth
are gradually displaced by the per-
manent set and their roots become
absorbed.
The teeth are composed of =
bonelike substance-dentine. and
are covered with a still harder SUBJ
stance-enamel. The interior is
hollow and contains blood vessels
and nerves. With ordinary care
enamel will last a life time but the
average person accumulates a cer-
tain amount of tartar" at the gum
line. This Is really a deposit Of
carbonate of lime from food. A
dentist should be called upon to re-
move this every six months. MIN
eral acids and the Tactic acid from
milk also attack the teeth and once
they eat through the enamel the
general health IL In jeopardy.
