that the period for the payment OF
bills. without additional charge, be
extended from 10 to Is days.

been able. to secure from other COM

an additional charge imposed or dis
count withheld. Conditions in Wash

Dempsey TOO MUCH a Fighter
That May Have Cost Him the victory

The fight over but the nation has only BEGUN to talk
about It, Had Dempsey been less Of fighter more of
thinker he might have When he Knocked Tunney out
IN the seventh round he should have gone to the fares
corner from the fallen the rules require Instead he
stood near waiting for Tunney to get up The counting
ten did not START until he had gone the right corner
farthest away from Tunney.
That gave Tunney four seconds time MAY have
decided the fight in Tunney's favor.
However Tunney stood with knee the ground per-
fect conscious during six seconds of the counting but wisely
taking advantage Of ALL the counting There proof
that ne could not have got up and begun fighting four
seconds EARLIER, had it been necessary.
Had Dempsey been mere SPARRER instead of natural
born FIGHTER he would have thought about rules and
would nave gone to the proper instantly instead
waiting for Tunney rise and give hin chance to knock him
down again.
The fighting blood Of his mixed Irish and American
ancestors overcame his thinking capacity.
Dempsey did exactly the same thing in his Firpo fiObt

striking him the instant he arose.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

VOUR children may have bright,
4 regular First teeth which.
IL kept clean, will last until their
roots are absorbed and their
crowns are pushed out by the
permanent teeth. Or they may
have teeth that are irregular, I'M
dersized, and given to early de-
say.
The idea, based on many known
scientific facts, has long been
prevalent in the medical profess
sion that malformation. early de-
cay Of teeth, when not due to
hereditary influences is largely
chargeab1e to defects of diet in
its results on general nutrition.
The influence Of diet on the
production and spread of dental
decay has generally been thought
to be limited to the effect Of de-
caying food particles on the sur
face of the teeth Every school
child knows that If bread, sugar
and other carbohydrate" foods
remain in the hollows and crevices
of the teeth they quickly cause
decay. Experiments have shown,
however. that the food which is
absorbed into the system also
plays an important part both in
determining the amount of lime
that shall go to build up the teeth
IA very important factor and in
altering the capacity which fully.
grown teeth have for resisting
harmful influences.
The food factor which encour-
ages the Qualification or lime
formation and consequent hard
ness of teeth Is vitamin D, fat,
soluble vitan1in similar to the
vitamin a, which promotes
growth. Vitamin % is also the
vitamin which prevents ricketts,,
which. as is well known. is caused
entirely by deficiency of lime
in the bones. Again. oatmeal has
many virtues as a food, but there
is some constituent in it that him
ders Qualification in teeth. The
foods richest in vitamin d are
milk, eggs yolk and codliver oil.
The foods most hostile to lime
building are oatmeal, bread, rice
and other cereals.
Fully grown teeth have to re-
sist great number of harmful in
fluences, such as wear ard tear
and the action of microbes, and
their power of resistance varies
almost entirely according to the
relative proportion in the diet Of
vitamin d and oatmeal, or other
cereals.

 PHONE IS PAYING
Financially Self Supporting at
 Present

New York, Feb. 10.-tP)- The in fantile international radiophone is able to toddle upon it's own financial legs.
 One months operation of the transatlantic radiophone service be- tween New York and London and their adjacent areas has proved it to be q commercial success, officials of the American Telephone and Telegraph company said yesterday.
 The newest youngster in the pub lie utilities, which bridges by wire and radio the gap between England and America Is already paying it's operating expenses with something beside. The company officials say they are satisfied with the financial operation Of the radiophone, but are not prepared to give figures. These cannot be determined until the costs of installation and the months of experimentation have been ascer- tained.
 Americans make more use of the radiophone than do their cousins across seas Check-ups of toll calls on the radiophone circuit show that there are eight outgoing calls from America to five calls from England. This has been the average since the first commercial, call was made on January 9.
