URGE DENTAL
TREATMENTFOR
MANY CHILDREN
SCHOOL NURSES RECON-
MEND PARENTS HAVE
cHILDREN's TEETH AT
TENDED TO AT ONCE

The school nurses, the Misses
Agnes and Alice Evans, wish to
urge the parents to have their
children's teeth attended to at the
very first manifestation of pain or
discomfort, and taken to den
tist so that treatment may be
practically painless.
A child will never fear the den
tist in the future if this method is
followed:
The large molar just back of a
child's baby teeth is the six year
old molar. Counting the sixth
tooth back from the central front
there are four, two upper, two
lower.
They are important teeth, guide
posts to all the permanent teeth.
These teeth appear between the
fifth and sixth year and are often
neglected in the belief that they
are the baby teeth and will be re-
placed.
Dental talks, reminder cards
and toothbrush drills are of lit
tie avail.
The parents of these children
are requested to have defects ar
rested.

REV, JAMES GOES
TO HOUSTON FOR
ANNUAL MEET
PASTOR OF FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH LEAVES SATUR-
DAY NIGHT ON SAN JA-
CINTO

Rev. w. X. E. James, pastor of
the First Baptist Church, left on
the steamer San Jacinto Saturday
night for Galveston. From there
he will go to Houston, Texas, for
the annual meeting of the South
ern Baptist convention to be held
May IL to 16. His little son,
Billy" went with him. On the
return trip they will visit relatives
in Alabama. Rev. w. S. Coons,
of Albany, New York, and DR.. S.
w. Rogers, are filing the pulpit in
the pastors absence.
The city of Houston is said to
be an ideal place for large con-
ventions. The Southern Baptist
Convention is the largest annual
religious gathering in the world.
1t is expected that there will be
ten or twelve thousand attendants
upon this session.
When Mr.. James returns the
latter part of May he will enter
upon his second year as pastor in
Key West. He and the congrega-
ton consider that a splendid and
most promising start has been
made and it is the expectation of
both pastor and people that they
will labor together for many years
more. One of the least conspicu-
Gus advances of the church in the
past year has been the growth in
membership. But, even so, recent
additions to the church have
brought the total number Of ac-
cessions during the year to So, an
average of more than one for
every Sunday in the eleven and a
half months of the present pas
torate.
