DR.. Thomas J. Ryan, noted dental
scientist and writer on dental topics,
declares in his latest book, '"Teeth and
HEALTH" that he has traced tuber-
culosis to decayed teeth and foul
mouths. His experiments also show
that Bright's disease and epilepsy
can be the result of infected teeth.
Doctor Ryan urges the establishment
of municipal dental X-ray clinics to
check these perils.

OF the story, however. would not

States Attorneys Office Asked tn
Investigate Possibility Of
Charges.

An echo Of the Landretto divorce
case, which disclosed from the wit
ness stand in circuit court, the story
Of Rock Islands underworld, was
heard today when it Lecame known
that the states attorneys office has
been asked to investigate the posi-.
bility of making charges against
Edith OrteIl. star witness for Sam
Landretto. for perjury.
,s The states attorneys office Is,
known. to have Investigated the
story. Of Mrs. Ortells conversation
with one of the jurors, and in look
ing up the law to have decided that
the fact that Mrs. Ortell said she
had not talked with any juror would
not stand as case for perjury.
However, ii ii understood that the
state has some grounds to base a
case Of perjury on the strength OF
Mrs. Ortell's sworn testimony that
she never conducted house OF
prostitution, and never harboreil
Lizzie Landretto IN such a place.
1t is said that If proof of the falsity
Of this testimony can be. produced
the state will have q strong case of
perjurxu Ills belieSedssth that the
grand Jury may be asked to indict
Mrs. Ortell for perjury when it re-
convenea to consider matters ia

ti0n being conducted by Attorney
General E. ]. Brundage.

Stand does not constitute perjury
unless it shall be material to the

ing Mrs. Landretto with adultery. .
