Barbara had been listening quiet

sighed gently and looked up at
him. Have you quite finished,
Bruce" she asked. Because, if you

The boy looked at her, his eyes

mon for dentist to find such local
lied areas under defective filings,
bridges and crowns. If these are ne
elected the infection is likely to be-
come more general. In some cases
practically all the teeth become IN
volvei.
Unless a pyorrhea sufferer is
prompt in putting his case In the
hands of a dentist the infection cor
tinucs rapidly, dissolving the soft
bone surrounding which is called
the alvcolar process and destroying
the attachment OF the soft tissues Of
the gum to the teeth. In severe
cases the teeth become loose and
eventually are lost.
You should know that there Is no
dental disease in the treatment Of
which 1t is so important for the den
tist TO have the hearty cooperation
and support of the patient as in the
treatment Of pyorrhea. No medicine
has ever been suggested which will
cure pyorrhea, and the sooner this
fact Is recognized the better for all
concerned.
Pyorrhea cures. Ike most adver-
tised cures. had best be left alone.
Fake cures for pyorrhea are as
popular in some sections of the
country as fake cures for cancer and
fake gland remedies advertised 10
restore your youth.
The only known remedy for pyor-
thea is the thorough removal of the
irritating substances. Of whatever
nature they may be, and the polish
ing Of all exposed tooth surface by
the dentist and the subsequent pro-
per use Of the tooth brush, powder,
paste and limewater to keep the
teeth and gums In healthy condi-
ton. Tho causes of pyorrhea are
usually too deep-seated to be
reached by any mouth wash or ger
micide, however popular or expen-
sive they may be.
Don't waste your money or your
time on pyorrhea cures, II you
have a tendency to pyorrhea, con-
suit your dentist at once and return
to him for examination three or
four times q year.

manded bluntly.

Peter waited for Paddy to explain
further, but Paddy didn't. Finally
curiosity got the best Of Peter and
he asked why Paddy was particular
ly interested in trees.
Paddy looked at Peter as II he
thought Peter might be joking in
asking such question. But curiosl-
ty fairly stuck out OF the eyes of
Peter. 1t was clear that he really
didn't understand why Paddy should
be specially interested In trees.
Peter Rabbit, knowing me as long

a silly question ?" said he, and look
cd quite disguised. Trees the right
