gorgio boys are, indeed. very dis
tasteful to Romany chies. Our chals

bold and that in tan and wardo and
in all family affairs it Is the woman

never take such a bold and i'm
when he was surprised I explained
that none Of our chals would have

quite a while, perhaps, and I said,

which they can be obtained the neg

mussels are in season when the oys-

are more easily cultivated than the
oyster. 1t admits that fresh muSsels
are more difficult to market. for they

YYoW often one hears a mother
~ say, What is the use of TAX
ing care of the first teeth
when in few years my
child will have a nice new set?" This
is a very wrong and harmful idea
BY following this kind of reasoning
many mothers have unknowingly
caused their children to have mis-
shapen mouths and to suffer much
unnecessary pain from decaying
teeth Listen a few minutes and we
will tell you why this is so.
II the first teeth decay and have to
be extracted or if cavities occur and
chewing becomes painful. the child
cannot properly masticate its food
and, consequently, the jaws do not
develop normally Chewing exer-
cises and strenththenS the muscles of
the jaw and increases the blood sup
ply of the teeth and jaws. Unless
the teeth obtain normal supply OF
blood they do not receive enough lime
salts to make them hard. This also
affects the second teeth. which are
forming underneath the first.
The first permanent tooth to ap-
pear Is the six-year molar or chewing
tooth which comes through Just be-
hind the temporary molars. 1t is
commonly mistaken for a first tooth
and thus, unless the child has been
taught early to take care of his teeth,
it is often allowed to decay.
II the first permanent molar is lost
1t usually results in irregular second
teeth, as the next incoming tooth
pushes forward and occupies the
space left blythe removal. Besides
causing irregularity Of the second
teeth, this provides additional
crevices for food to lodge in and de-
cay, and makes it much more difficult
to keep the teeth clean. 1t Is an ex-
pensive and painful job to have these
teeth straightened when the child is
older.
If the jaw fails to develop proper
ly as result OF these causes, the
middle section of the face ceases TO
grow, the face Is misshapen, and
troubles of the nose. throat and ear
often result later in life. Proper care
of the temporary teeth will therefore
save much pain, suffering and expense
Moreover. if child is taught to take
proper care OF the first teeth, there
will be less chance of decay of the
permanent teeth through neglect and
