Your Health How To Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal Of the American Medical Association and of lily
 gcia. the Health Magazine

The meeting of the American Dental Association recently served to emphasize anew the manner in which the teeth are being conserved as parts Of the whole human body rather than as sort of dental fur niture cast loose in the mouth.
 Nowadays more and more at tsntion is being paid 10 the prob lem Of growing strong teeth rather than to the cleaning and repair of teeth exclusively. In or der to have strong and healthful teeth the child must eat proper food; indeed, it's mother should have eaten proper food for n considerable period before it was born.
 The child must chew food thor oughly 10 aid good digestion and 10 maintain the health of the teeth and gums, Proper food for sound teeth means mothers milk up to eight or ten months of age.
 Orange or Tomato Juice
 The child should he given. be- ginning with the first month, orange juice or strained tomato juice in the dosage prescribed by the physician. It should also have cod liver oil 10 provide ade- quate amounts of v;tamines neceS- sary to bony growth.
 From the age of six months on ward it's breast feeding is to be supplemented with cereal, cows milk, soups made of strained vegetables. or such other supple mentary feeding as the doctor may order.
 During the second year the teeth are developing beneath tho gums and the child must have foods that will provide essential substances for sound teeth. These include particularly foods that supply calcium and phosphorus, as well as the usual food constitu- ents, and also the necessary vita mines
 The foods al this time should include plenty of milk, fruit juices. well cooked cereals, per haps cooked in milk. and well cooked vegetables should be strained or mashed to get rid Of indigestible fibrous substances.
 Visiting the Dentist
 Certainly the child should See q dentist after it is two years of age 10 learn whether or not the teeth are developing properly Thumb sucking, mouth breathing or the use of pacificrs may serve to de- form the jaws. and the teeth may be soft and subject to quick de-

Little Mrs. Peter was feeling whole lot better. Now that she had company, she didn't miss Peter so much. In fact, for two or three days she almost forgot what she had come up to the Old Pasture for. You see, she had found one of her grown children, Little Peter, and with him was Mrs. Pete. She and Mrs Pete had become the best of friends. While Little Pete was off exploring in the Old Pasture, Mrs. Peter and Mrs. Pete spent their time together hunting for good things to eat and gossiping. Already Mrs. Peter had become very fond of Mrs. Pete.
 Now. in places in the Old Pasture are patches of sweet clover. Some of these places are quite open. Late one afternoon Mrs. Pete had gone out to one of these open places for some sweet clover. Mrs. Peter was on her way to join her there. Just as she was about 10 leave the shel- ter of the bushes. she caught glimpse of a sharp nose among the bushes, little bit to one side. Ii seemed to her that her heart stopped beating for q minute. She knew that nose. There was no mis- taking it. She had seen it too many times to be the least bit in doubt. It was the nose Of Rcddy Fox.
 Mrs Peter looked over 10 where little Mrs. Pete was eating sweet clover. Her back was to Reddy FOX. The wind was from her to Reddy. It was clear that she did not sus- pect danger. Mrs. Peter looked back at Reddy. He was just beginning 10 steal out. His whole head was be- yond the bushes now. His eyes were fixed on Mrs. Pete, and such an eager, hungry look as there was in those eyes. He was grinning just little. His black ears were cooked forward. He moved ever so slowly. Each black foot was put down so carefully that there wasn't { the slight est sound. A few feet more tnnce. Even now It was doubtful f Mrs. Pete would hay. s~- 10 reach safety if she were given q warning. Mrs. Peter could thump the danger signal. but she knew that Rcddy Fox would understand that signal also and that he would waste no time when he heard it.

Mary Harrison Voices Her Theory
 About Miss Lincoln

I had known that Mary was sharing my deductions concerning Eleanor Lincoln, but 1t startled me 10 hear her so perkily voice the conclusions which I had hesitated 10 accept, deeming them almost too bizarre for belief, l gave no hint of my reaction. however. and instead assented promptly to the last point she had tickcd off her fingers with gesture as charming as 1t was childish.
 "Tes. I am sure that the 'oNr was either the rad-bearded man or his comrade in the woods shack. Her explanation was altogether ahsurl.'
 But what does it all mean "" Mary queried, with irritation in her voice. i've thought and thought about il, and it's all like the tun- hled pieces of q picture puzzle. You cant fit them in
 With a little start her last sen tence made me suddenly remember something which Philip Ntritzen had said when at his request l had described our new neighbors at The Larches.
 Tt all fits in" he had commented, and his manner. no less than the words, had signified that he held certain theories concerning our ueighhors at The 1.arches which he was keeping to himself.
 Perhaps" I told Mary, with the memory of Philip Ncritzen's manner strong upon me, perhaps we'll sud denly find the missing piece, and

"Oh dear. What can I do? What can I do?" cried Mrs. Peter under her breath.
 Then she did a very brave thing. She hoped right out in the open. She hoped exactly as if she didn't See Reddy at all. At the first move on her part, Reddy turned. Such a queer look as there was on his face. He crouched flat down and waited. It was plain that he didn't know just what to dc. Here were two rabbits. either of which he might eat He didn't know whether 10 keep on after the one he had start cd for, or whether to lie still where he was and wait for this oth- Q, one 10 come nearer.
 He decided to wait. for little Mrs Peter had begun 10 nibble clover ward him. Very slowly, very care fully, he managed to turn partly to- ward her.
 q declare" said Roddy 10 him self, "that looks for all the world like Mrs. Peter Rabbit But what is she doing mp here? l didn't sup pose she could be induced 10 leave tho dear old Briar-patch. Well, it looks like a rabbit dinner for me this time. If Mrs. Reddy had only come along. as I wanted her to, we would have two rabbits instead Of one"
 Now. as Mrs. Peter slowly hoped along, stopping between hops for a bite Of clover. she was hopping to- ward Rcddy, but she was also nov ing nearer to the bushes. If ltcddy should remain right where he was, and she should keep right on where she was heading. she would pass b,tWcen Eeddy and the bushes. When she saw out of tn" corner Of her eyes that Rcddy was giving all of his attention to her. she felt greatly relieved. She was getting 10 the danger point now. She reached out and nibblcd a leaf of sweet clover. Then, suddenly, with her hindfeot. she stamped in" danger signal with all her might. and dart ed for the nearest bushes.

day as the result Of the serious case
Of blood poisoning that has infected

improved today but his physician,
DR.. Warren Clark, announced that
although the spread of the disease
had been checked, Dempsey was not
yet out Of danger.
Dempsey was stricken when an IN
significant scratch on the middle
finger of his left hand became swol-
len and blood poisoning set in. His
entire left arm became infected but
was normal again today and Demp-
sey will be forced to remain in bed
for week.
He was scheduled to leave here to-
morrow for Wheeler Hot Springs, to
begin training for another match
for the world championship with
Gene Tunney.
