CANADA HAS STEADY 0 W
Recent Census Shows Healthy In
crease in Population, Despite
Losses Caused by War.

Cnnada'S census for 1921 indicated Il
total population of S,769,4S9, distrib-
uted as follows: New Brunswick, 3S7,-
$50; Nova Scotia. 2 3,S37 Prince Ed
ward island, SS,615; Quebec, 2,349,-

Yukon, 4,lG2; Northwest territories,
G,6S4, and Canadian navy, 4S5. The
gain for the whole Dominion during
l9101920, was 100000 or 21.5 per
cent. The war cost the lives Of 90, GS0
Canadians killed In action, while 49,
600 more died from indirect causes.
The percentage increase in population
is the same as that for Australia, while
the increase for New Zealand 20 per
cent was very little behind. In the Union
Of South Africa the increase was 1872
per cent. The Prairie provinces made
the most pronounced gain in Canada,
Alberta showing n % per cent in
crease; Saskatchewan over SO per
cent, and Manitoba, 80 per cent. For
the mex ten years the unit Of distribu-
tion for determining the membership
of parliament will be 1920. This total
is arrived at by dividing by 60 the

GOLD TEETH OUT OF STYLE
Present Trend Is TO Preserve Tooth
and Make Il Look as Much Like
Original as Possible.

Gold teeth are going out Of style,
according to practitioners and dental
experts. The present trend Is to pre-
serve the tooth to make 1t look as
near rs possible like 1t was originally.
If this can't be done the offending
molar or incisOr must be pulled out.
The idea Of pulling teeth IS some
thing comparatively new In American
dentistry. The tendency was to save
the tooth at oil costs. But dentists
have discovered that gold crowns are
unhealthful and permit foreign matter
to get into the teeth.
Bridge work also is not as pOpu-
lar as 1t once was. To make a bridge
two good teeth were filed down AZ
anchors for the mass Of gold In be
tween. If the bridge failed the two
good teeth on the ends went with It.
Now dentists recommend Il plate Of
false teeth instead Of the bridge.
These being removable, are easily
kept clean. The dental science Is now
spending It's energies more on serv-
iceable plates rather than on bridges
or crowns.-New York Sun.
