HOW ARE YOUR CHILD'S
TEETH?

VOU want your boy or girl to be
= attractive and healthy and to get
good marks in school, don't you?
Many factors combine to bring aboL.
these results, but one often overlooked
is the condition of the child's teeth.
The bones of child are soft and
pliable and the habit of sucking the
go unchecked, may cause deformity
of the mouth which will spoil the APP
pearance for life. The thumb-sucking
habit forces the jaw bones out of
place, with the result that the upper
front teeth are pushed outward and
the lower ones backward until the en-
tire face is deformed.
Usually, however, the 'baby" teeth
are straight and pretty. They are
small and the jaws are large enough
for them. 1t is the second teeth that
commonly are not right. If they come
In crooked, it is generally because the
jaws are not large enough to accom-
modate them. Sometimes the jaws are
stunted because they have not had
enough exercise in chewing solid food.
Or the jaw development may have
been retarded because the child is
poorly nourished. If the general de-
velopment of the child is not good,
the jaw and tooth development is
likely to be poor and if the jaw bones
are not sufficiently developed, the
teeth will be crowded out of their
normal position so that the upper and
bite and chew properly. The inability
to chew the food thoroughly will re-
suit in indigestion and the crooked,
crowded teeth give the child an unat-
tractive appearance which may be so
great as to be a positive deformity.
How many children have you seen
who would have been pretty but for
teeth that were crooked or that pro-
truded or that were decayed?
In these days of keen competition
in every line of effort, each individual
needs every advantage and equipment
in order to hold his own and make
his way in the world. 1t is crime to
allow a child to grow up with a
physical handicap that can be cor
rected. The handicap of bad teeth and
deformed face can. in most cases, be
overcome.
See that your child makes regular
visits to the dentist and see that his
instructions are obeyed. Don't make
1t possible for your child when grown
to blame you for an unattractive face,
for poor school or business records, or
for poor health, If these defects may
be the results of condition so easily
remedied as bad teeth.

WATCH THE CHILDRENS'
SHOES AND FEET

THE foot, like all other parts Of the
L human body, is beautiful in its
natural state. In its unspoiled beauty
it is seen in young children and in
members of the few tribes and races
which still go barefoot or wear only
sandals to protect the feet. The nat.
ural foot is the one seen in the master
pieces of the painter and the Sculp-
tor. 1t is as beautiful as the hand and
as expressive of personality.
The normal human foot is triangular
in outline, with the point of the tri-
angle at the heel. The toes are slight
ly separated and the bones of the foot
are so constructed that they form
natural arch for supporting the body.
The ball of the foot, which is intended
to bear the body-weighr. is covered
with an extra thick layer of skin, as
are also the back part of the heel and
the under portions of the toes. which
grasp the ground in walking.
The average human foot, however.
bears little resemblance 20 the normal
foot. The toes are crsmped. over
Tapped and bent; bunions distort the
joints; cOrns grow on the toes; nails
are thickened, ingrown or bent under
the ends of the toes; calluses disfig-
ure various parts of the foot; broken
arches add flat foot" to the other de-
formities.
We pity the Chinese women with
their bound lilly feet" but we extend
no sympathy to the American girl with
her crippled, disabled feet on which
she hobbies about. in shop, factory.
office or kitchen. The Chinese do not
expect the possessor of silly feet" to
do any work or much walking but we
demand that our women retain their
places in business and industrial life
in spite of the physical disability Of
crippled feet.
Modern shoes with their high heels
and pointed toes are responsible for
this universal foot deformity. Such
shoes prevent the spread and spring
of the arch and ball of the foot which
are naturally part of every step.
The muscles governing this spread
and spring, from lack of use, become
shrunken and lose their strength. This
shrinking of the muscles of the foot
gradually extends TO the muscles Of
the ankles. the calves of the legs,
the knees and the Thighs, often to
the muscles of the lower part of the
trunk. The discomfort felt when walk
ing in tennis shoes or very low-heeled
shoes is due to the fact that long in
active muscles are called into action.
Pains in the knees and thighs. which
the sufferer believes is rheumatism"
are often caused by flat foot" or
broken arches.

PASTOR AND WOMAN CONFESS
Wife confesses Giving Spouse Poison
While He Lay I'LL.

Mount Vernon, Ill.-After an all
night vigil, Mrs. Elsie Sweetin con-
fessed that she was implicated with
Rev. Lawrence M. Hight, of Ina, in
the plot to poison her husband and
Mrs. Hight in order that she and the
pastor could be married, thus confirm
Hight.
Hight, in his confession had de-
clared that he and Mrs Sweetin had
plotted to do away with her husband
and Mrs. Hight so that he could marry
Mrs. Sweetin. In his original confess
sion, however, he had declared that
he alone was responsible for the two
deaths. This statement, he said, in
his supplementary confession, was
made in order to shield Mrs. Sweetin.
