children who were broken down
either physically or mentally, as a
! result of being overworked doing
chores.
In case OF consolidation of schools
there are too many instances, where
1t is too far for the children to be
taken to and from school every day,
for wyoming weather has tricks all
too we'll known to US, and there are
weeks when a truck or car could not
be used in the transportation of the
Riddles, and II one was compelled
to drive a team ten miles and back
before school time, the tardv marks
would be too numerous. The cost
of the necessary amount of vehicles
and the running expenses would far
over-reach the outlay of the country
school.
Another writer sneeringly remark

to harvest money received for board

Subscriber" in the Review writes
thus: Henry Ford's Idea Of build
ing factories in the rural districts in
order to break down the wall be-

one. but consolidation Of schools is
a little more practical for us, and
will do much to educate the next
generation of farmers out of their
exclusiveness."
Now that is exactly what we are
trying to prevent. We want farmers,

THE GLOOM SPREADER

Let me give you a few remarks from a thirty minute con-
versation | overheard on the train the other evening.
"Did you hear about the sudden death of Mrs. Jones?
Terrible, took poison You know. Suffered agony. Well, L
guess her husband drove her crazy. He is a good for nothing.
FYes, that was a terrible automobile accident last Sun
day. Two killed and two others dying. A new car and an
Inexperienced driver, so they say. Well, that is what comes
of Sunday driving. [ won't let my husband take our car out
on Sunday. 1t is too dangerous with all the cars there are
these days.
"Have you been shopping, Mrs. Green? I wanted to
shop this morning, for | saw a sale OF suits advertised IN the
paper last night, but [ had to go to Mr.. Smiths funeral.
Yes, I've just come from there. Such a sad case; left a young
widow and three small children. With the exception of a
meagre life insurance he left nothing for their support, so
they say.
"And young Brown, did you hear that he has lost his
position? You know how extravagant Mrs. Brown has always
been, SO I suppose they haven't anything saved. These are aw-
full times. So many business failures and people out OF work. l
guess things will never be the same as they were before the
war"
After hearing for thirty minutes conversation similar
to the above do you wonder that my enthusiasms were some
what chilled and my spirits dampened? Wouldn't yours have
been the same?
We all realize how contagious is optimism. Do we remem-
Der that pessimism is equally so? Don't be a gloom spreader.

Tooth Formation

The babys first teeth begin FORM
ing when the fetUs is only six weeks
III uterus This is contradictory to
the popular opinion that teeth begin
forming at five or six months. The
truth is that the first teeth are large
ly what the mother makes them
through her diet, during pregnancy.
Lack Of suitable building material
in her food; poisons circulating in
the mothers body; and too little
vitamine content in her food viii
make the first teeth easy of decay.
When the mothers teeth decay
readily during pregnancy it is a sure
sign that she is not eating enough
lIbe salts and that the supply from
her own body IS being further de-
pleted by the growing child.
Green vegetables, fruits, whole
grain cereals, yolks of eggs, butter
fats and attention to the elimination
Of ~excretions and plenty of milk will
furnish the fetus with the proper
materials for the formation of strong
first teeth.
These tooth buds begin to push
upward from four to six months
after birth. If the baby is still hav-
ing an ample diet there will be no
trouble cutting teeth, they will part
readily and neatly from the gums.
Children who are i'll nourished, who
have had wasting diseases ike scar
let fever OF measles, will have more
trouble than the normal child. There
will likely be some fever and irri-
