DENTISTRY Is BEST
AND CHEAPEST INSURANCE
United States has Realized More Than
Any Other Nation the Importance
of Mouth Hygiene.

United States has Realized More Than
Any Other Nation the Importance
of Mouth Hygiene.
tFrom the Type Metal Magazine.
Even the young people of today
can remember when no one thought
OF going to dentist until he had a
toothache.
And yet today some of us are so
well educated in cause and effect that
II we have pain in the knee we
suspect that something may be wrong
with our teeth.
More tooth brushes are sold in the
United States than in all the rest of
the world.
More dentists are practising in the
United States than in all the rest of
the world.
We are probably at least gen
Grafton ahead OF any other nation
in the matter of the attention which
we give to our oral hygiene.
One way to pick an American out
of a crowd in a European city is to
look at his teeth. We have the best
teeth of any people.
And yet -
We are told that ii dentist could
examine the mouths of every person
in a theater tonight he would find
nearly everyone needing dentistry of
some kind.
An investigator reported at a re-
cent meeting of dental society that
less than twelve per cent of the peo-
pie of the United States employ
dentist or appreciate tAe importance
of mouth hygiene. Examinations have
revealed that there is an ayefage
Of FIVE cavities in the mouth of every
American.
These new figures show how large
Is the task before us. They indi-
cate that when people are once arous-
cd to the Importance of clean mouth
and healthy teeth there viii be de-
mand for dentistry that viii put that
profession on q twelve-hour day
My own experience has been that
halfyearly visits TO my dentist are
a matter of great economy. | men
toned this to him one day, and he
told me that those of his patients who
came in regularly for examinations
spent far less money with him than
those who waited for a toothache TO
bring them in.
But the money economy of this
mouth hygiene is the smallest factor.
A neglected mouth breeds disease.

Some Really Expensive Sugar

What would you say to sugar that
cost from SIS to S375 a pound?
Well, there are sugars for which such
prices are asked, and which people
buy. The most expensive OF them
Is called dulcitol and costs 1915 a
pound. BY comparison the other
sugars seem almost cheap. Mannose,
for example, costs only $l40 pound.
Gfannose is made from the scraps
that are left over in making vegetable
ivory buttons Another sugar, man
mite. is made from mamma, the nutri-
tive gum with which the children OF
Israel were fed in the wilderness.
Mamma forms in little flake-like scales,
which the wind blows into the air
and carries to the ground some dis
lance away. IL has the delicate taste
of sweet wafer. Still another OF
the sugars, called xylose, is made
from corn-eobs and Is priced at $500
a pound.
The costliness of those sugars Is
the result of the excessive care that
must be exercised in making them.
for the presence In them of any inn
purity or of any other kind of sugar
units them for the important uses to
which they are put.
Every meteorological laboratory
has them. One Is particularly useful
In detecting typhoid; the organisms
that cause the disease are so fond
Of 1t that they pounce upon II at once
and there multiply so fast that their
presence Is easily detected. Others
are invaluable In detecting cholera
germs.
Only small quantity of the sugars
Is used at one time. An ounce of
some OF them would last even busy
bacteriologist year.
