coarse foods and meat and less sweets
Among some OF the tribes In which
DR.. Townsend works the children have
very poor teeth, much below the average
white children. DR.. Townsend has been
In the Indian service for four years, hav-
ing been engaged in private practice for
10 years previous to entering the govern
ment service. He has worked among 20
different tribes Of Indians, n has had
an opportunity to observe dental condi-
tions among many different bands.
DR.. Townsend believes that the effect
Of civilization on the diet Of the Indian
is responsible for most Of his dental
troubles. On some reservations he has
noticed hat in the schools located In
isolated sections the children have better
teeth than in schools In or close to town.
1t Is DR.. Townsend's belief that the
primitive Indians kept their teeth in
perfect condition by a diet OF coarse
vegetables n meat.
Skull Tells Secrets
Last year when he was at Fort Hall.
Ida. the skull Of 81 old-time Indian was
accidentally discovered buried on the
school grounds. DR.. Townsend examined
this skull and found the teeth to be per-
feet, not having g decayed spot in them.
Concerning the belief that Indians
have differently shaped teeth than whites
DR.. Townsend explained that In early
days tho Indians lived out doors mucn
Of the time and their food often con-
tanned gritty substances which tended
to nle Oh the edges, giving a rounded ap-
pearance to the front teeth. This con-
dition Is not found among the younger
Indians and will pass away with the old
Indians. as 1t is not a structural differ
ence in the teeth.
Three-ROOted Teeth
Tho only difference in the structure Of
the teeth noticed by DR.. Townsend in
his four years among the Indians of the
northwest is that in a number of cases
he has extracted sixth-year molars which
we're ~three-rooted He explained that in
his 10 years Of practice among white
people he had never observed this PHI
nomena, all white people having two
rooted sixth-year molars. He believes
that this difference may be explained by
evolutionists. the Indians not being as
far developed along this particular line
as their white brothers.
