ADDITIONAL ALEDO
PROPOSE AN ISSUE
OF BONDS IN BIG
.DRAMAGEPROJECT

II was decided at an I'll day SEES
sion yesterday of land owners and
ohhcials OF the New Boston DARN
age district to float a bond issue of
SIS, 900 as the initial step in the re-
constructions and repairs of the dis
trict levee. This sum will cover
only incidentals and minor repair
work. The major item in the pro-
posed program 10 rebuilding Of the
levee. which must be raised approx
imately two feet to give the land
owners in the bottoms the protec-
ton against food waters which
they desire. The total cost will
amount to approximately $3.50. 900.
It was decided, however. at yes
terday's meeting that before the dis
trict would 90 ahead to raise this
amount Of money. itself. that gov
eminent aid would be requested in
putting over the reconstruction
program. With that end in view
various members of the district
board and Paul J. Graham, attorney
for the district, were in conference
here last Tuesday and Wednesday
with Major Wayman, secretary of
the Mississippi commission, through
which government aid must be ar
ranged. Major Wayman, with MEM
bers Of the drainage district board,
inspected the levee and the bottoms
and in q late conference with At
torney Graham appeared very ia
vorable towards government aid in
the project Of rehabilitation.
II the government aid is secured
It will mean that the taxpayers of
the drainage district will be re-
quired to put up only 81 to every 81
that the government advances in
completing the work. Under this
arrangement contracts and all of the
other details connected with con-
struction would be In charge Of and
directed BY the government Wheth-
or it's aid can be secured In the re-
building Of the district leves should
be known before Jan. L
AT t0o meeting yesterday OF the
drainage board composed Of r H.
Roberts. John G.. Woodward and
Joseph H. Harvey, there was pres
ent Attorney Graham for the dis
trict and Attorney Robert L. Wat
son, representing ono protesting
land owner. It was the concensus
of opinion Of all those present that
protection Of their lands and prop
erty was of course the thing most
desired The cheaper that sfncient
protection could be obtained the
better, it was voted. Before levying
the $4,000 bond issue the district
board and Attorney Graham will
await the decision Of the govern
ment.

ton 10 too low for efficient protec-
ton in case Of another Mississippi

HINTS ON PRESERVING GOOD TEETH

From what has been said in pre-
vious article, you will realize how
important II is to look after your
children's teeth, train them TO care
for them properly, and have a dentist
examine them from time to time to
make sure no defect is overlooked.
Have you ever stopped to think
how great an influence diet has on
the development OF che teeth? The
importance Of a proper diet is much
greater than most people realize.
When baby comes into the world
1t is apparently tOOthless. Neverthe-
less at this time the first teeth are
practically completely formed, lying
beneath the gums. In fact, under
these first eeeth there are already the
beginnings Of the permanent teeth
Under these circumstances, you will
understand that these teeth cannot
develop as they should il the body
lis not supplied with a sufficient
amount Of the necessary building ma
terial. Hence in the food for your
child you should make sure that
especially those elements which build
bOny structure, OF which the tooth
is a type. are supplied in sufficient
quantities. This fact recognized, you
will agree that proper care Of the
child's teeth really begins in earliest
infancy, even before any teeth have
appeared, and should be directed espe-
cially TO the infants feeding. Nurs-
ing at the breast is by all odds the
best way TO start the proper develop
ment Of the child's teeth.
The two most important elements
needed in the diet for building sound
teeth are lime and phOsphOric acid,
and for the growing child there is
not better source of these than milk
mothers milk in infancy and clean
cows milk later. After infancy the
diet OF every child should include
a glass OF milk with each meal. and
in addition to this there should be
other sources Of mineral salts, such
as fruits. green vegetables and pure
water.
But there is another important thing
to remember about the relation OF
food TO good teeth. and that is the
influnce OF exercise. Just as regular
