On more than one occasion I have
told you about the are OF the teeth.
There can be no doubt that atten-
ton to these useful organs has done
much to promote the happiness Of
the human family.
More and more we have come to
realize that defects In the teeth
lay the foundation for serious ill
ness. II the teeth become abceSSed,
poisons develop which may carry
disastrous effects to remote parts Of
the body.
But what ! have In mind today is
to point out the necessity for thor
ough chewing Of the food. The food
is prepared in the mouth for its
journey Of digestion.
Unless armed with a passport you
would not get far in a foreign coun-
try. Unless the food Is thoroughly
chewed, the first step toward the
prevention OF indigestion has been
neglected.
In the breaking up of the morsels
OF food by thorough chewing some
thing else Is accomplished. The
saliva is intimately mixed with the
food substance. This produces an
interesting chemical change.
Much Of the food we take. par
ticularly that coming from the veg
etable world, consists largely OF
starch. The mixture of the saliva
with the starch converts the latter
into sugar. That sugar Is the pass
port indicating to the stomach and
other digestive organs that the
morsel Of food is properly prepared
Tor its journey.
This step. known to the doctors as

"salivary digestion" is far more inn
portant to health than As generally
recognized. Chewing the food thor
oughly Is too commonly regarded
as a sort OF a fad. For 50 many
years We have laughed at "Fletch-

the food more finely IL more likely
TO raise a laugh than meet with
q favorable response. TN sorry
about this because many a case Of
indigestion wuold disappear II the
teeth were encouraged To perform
their proper function.
Unless the starch we eat II pro-
ceSSed by The -ariouS digestive
juices provided for this purpose,
there Is sure to be acidity. Heart
burn. belching OF gas, sour taste in
the mouth, drooling and stomach
ache are familiar symptoms OF
acidity. While constipation and
other factors enter into the prob

first OF the neglectful acts OF man
IS his failure 10 chew his food. That
Is the beginning Of his dyspepsia.

CONGESTION FACES
RHODE ISLANDERS
slow-Moving Traffic May Be Put
OFF of Main Truck
Highways.

PROVIDENCE, r. T., July 13.-
Trunk roads in Rhode Island are be-
coming so congested that 1t Is matter
of time before the State will have to
detour to second or third grade roads
the driver who insists on operating his
car slowly, Harold r. Shippee, chief In
spector of the State board Of public
roads, forecasts.
Motoring problems that are not yet
acute elsewhere have reached serious
point in this most thickly settled State
with its average Of more than 544
persons to the square mile.
Comparing the slow driver to the
accommodation train, which always
has had to take a siding for express
trains, Mr. Shippee says the situation
here is developing rapidly to the point
where there will have to be a right OF
way for express auto transportation.
This will necessarily mean a re-routing
OF slow-driven machines, he says.
Using one highway as an example,
MFR. Shippee points out that 55 miles
an hour is perfectly satisfactory speed
Eif the way Is clear, whereas at other
times five miles an hour might be reck-
less. A safe speed, he says. Is one at
which the driver Is able TO stop within
the known clear space ahead"
The ofiicial asserts that it is the In
attentive fast driver operating across
intersections who causes more than 20
per cent Of Rhode Islands automoohe
accidents.

GAS TAX RATE BOOST
IS URGED IN GEORGIA
Florida Legislature Adjourns After
Enacting 6-Cent Levy, Like
South Cardinals.

Georgia, the last of the 43 State
Legislatures meeting in regular session
this year, convened June IS. This
leaves only 5 State Legislatures in ses-
sion, Wisconsin and Georgia meeting
in regular session and Oklahoma. Mis-
sissippi and Texas in special session.
Already bills have been introduced in
Georgia proposing an increase in the
present gas tax rate, and there Is agi-
tation for a sales tax on automobile
manufacturers and dealers.
The special session Of the Florida
Legislature adjourned June 20. At this
session q scent gas tax was enacted,
with part of the proceeds to be used
for school purposes. Florida Is thus the
second State which has passed Scent
gas tax, South Carolina having passed
one earlier in the year.
It has long been the stand Of the
automobile industry that 1t Is not OPP
posed to a gas tax If the registration
fees are moderate, II the total OF regis
tration fees and gas taxes does not
unduly burden the individual motorist
and if the moneys obtained from regis
tration fees and gas taxes are all spent
for highway purposes. but there Is
strong opposition to the. tendency 70
keep increasing gas taxes, especially
where the money goes for other than
road purposes.

process Of extraction is the most eff
cient and to bring about a higher per-
centage Of recovery.
The process of the Bureau Of Stand
ards, known as an isothermal distilla-
ton Of natural gas mixture, employs
methods just the reverse Of ordinary
distillation.
Nearly one-tenth of the gasoline pro-
duced yearly in the country Is natural"
gasoline. This Is not sold as a sepa-
rate product, but is blended with other
gasoline to give the pep" desired by
motorists. Employment Of the new
method, the bureau believes, will re-
suit in a greater amount Of natural"
gasoline being produced and greater
mixture Of the product with other gaso-
lines.

BALTIMORE, July 13.-With 10 traf-
&c deaths in the first six months of 1929,
Baltimore's current toll of fatal acct
dents is more than 10 per cent higher
than last year, according to figures COM
piled by the Police Accident Bureau:
The total for the first six months OF

Those killed include So men and 20
women Between January and July

women killed.
The total Of injured for the six
month period this year is announced
as 2,426, against 1929 last year.
Among the fatalities this year, autos
were responsible for the death Of 81,
as against SO last year, this classification
alone being responsible for all but one OF
the nine additional deaths this year.
Deaths from motor cycles, trolleys,
railroads and bicycles were virtually the
same this year as last.
The death list included 10 persons

EARLY PLAN SEEN
AS Street SAVING
Akron, Ohio, Demonstrates
Profit of Foresight on
Wider Thoroughfares.

Millions Of dollars will be saved Amer
lean cities through the expedient Of
planning city improvements early. This
is evidenced by the experience Of Ak
ron, Ohio, which through carefully con-
templated and progressive street widen
ing has already saved nearly $4,000, 900.
Ten years ago Akron adopted street
widening plan calling for the eventual
widening of nearly 20 miles of streets.
To have widened these thoroughfares
outright would have been impossible, for
the total cost would have been some
$20,000,000 The plan was adopted OF
establishing new setback building lines
so that as buildings became obsolete
and were replaced, the new structures
were erected 10 feet or more back from
the former building line.
The 100000 saving made by Akron
includes money saved through the
avoidance of condemnation charges.
Having saved this amount in 10 years,
the city now is going to spend roughly
that amount in widening AZ miles of
an important artery.
E. A. Kemmler, chief engineer, Bu-
reau of Highways, of Akron, points out
that the 50-year plan will be COM
pleted at total cost less than half of
the original estimate.
If motoring comfort is ever to be at
tanned, planning must be done early.
Motor car needs will certainly be no less
10 years from now. The Saturation
point of automobile ownership is not
yet in sight-and if it were there is not
a single town or city In the country that
has anything like adequate facilities for
the cars now within its gates.
AS is shown in the case of Akron. the
creation of automobile facilities can be
made without straining the commu-
nity's resources.

ILL. LEGISLATURE PASSES
PNEUMATIC TIRE LAW
All Buses operating in State Must
Be Equipped Before
July /, 1880.

The Illinois Legislature recently
passed a bill requiring all buses OPP
Grated within the State to be equipped
with pneumatic tires before July l,
1880.
The truck owners Of Chicago are vol
unfairly substituting pneumatic tires
for the solid ones. The present pneu-
matte truck tire is capable of standing
twice the strain at which they are
rated and permits of greater speed with
less damage to the truck as well as
the road surface. Greater revenue Is
produced by truck on pneumatic tires,
as they are capable of running 300 miles
per day, as against the solid-tire truck
with a maximum travel Of 125 miles
per day.
The advent of the higher speed tru1s
will probably result In the discard of
solid tires in the near future.
