Wilmington, N. C., spoke on THE
Negro and His Songs" He declared
that the ideas and experiences of the
Negro are expressed in his songs. He
stated that among the savage tribes
of Africa there are found songs of
harvest, of life, and of death. Al
though these songs have come from
so-called heather souls, they never
theless have an intensely human
touch. The ethnologists believe that
the finest folk-songs are produced by
suffering, and because the folk-songs
have grown out of suffering they are

HEALTHY TEETH AN ASSET

1t Is now pretty generally recog-
nized by medical men that there is q
very distinct relationship between
common dental diseases and the gen.
eral health Of an individual
DR.. Russell w. Bunting of the Uni
versity of Michigan, discussing the
subject of Teeth and Health" tells
Us that it has been observed that many
people who are in poor general health
are found to have diseased teeth.
Also that after diseased teeth have
been removed in most cases the sys-
temic silment disappears.
Specific affections of the heart, kid
neyA skin, nerves, joints and bodily
tissues are commonly associated with
dental disturbances. In many cases
patients who have suffered for years
with chronic affections and general III
health show a marked improvement
IN their condition after the diseased
teeth have been removed.
According to DR.. Bunting the dental
diseases which are most often danger
Gus to the individual naturally fall
into two groups: First, those which
produce Assesses at the ends of the
roots Of the teeth, and second, those
diseases Of the gums and supporting
tissues about the teeth, so-called pyor-
rhea. And of these, the first group
Is the more important Assesses oc-
cur only about the roots of dead
teeth and never on those which have
living pulp or nerve They may
produce pain and swelling and break
through the gum with discharge of
pus, or they may be inconspicuous,
producing no pain or swelling and
remain for years IN a quiescent state
without the patient being aware of
their presence. Also infectious or
ganisms which they contain may en-
ter the blood stream and spread
throughout the body to produce spe-
ci6c diseases IN distant parts.
The second type of dental disease
and which d generally known as py-
orrhea begins at the gum line and
progressively destroyes the tissues
which attach the teeth to the sur
rouading bone; but both Assesses
and pyorrhea, when firmly established,
offer many serious difheulties to their
treatment and cure,
The most common dental infection
