testify if a stenographic report was

statement that he objected to procedure

This provision relates to safety
regulations made by The Bureau
which, under the law, must be COM
piled with within twenty days.
While the Legislature limited the
total expenditures Of the Bureau to

for some time that no system of merit

the result. It will become effective

mouth HELD SOURCE
OF human DISEASES
Dursema Tells Lions Club Good
Dental Care Will Pay Divi-
dends in Health

Asserting that approximately so
per cent Of human diseases are at
tributable to germs which enter
through the mouth or which develop
there, Dr.. G. D. Dursema told men,
bers of the Lions club Monday that
few practices will pay greater d.
vidends that habits Of mouth and
teeth cleanliness.
His was one Of q series OF talks
given by club members on their owl:
professions or businesses and was
intended to instruct the club men,
bers on the proper care Of the teeth
and mouth.
Urging them to use small tooth
brushes, DR.. Durser1a said the larger
ones must be intended for lazy pco-
pei, since they are less effective than
the smaller ones.
BY using a small toothbrush, the
speaker asserted, a rotary motion of
the brush is made possible and the
gums and palate r invigorated and
the teeth cleaned at the time time.
Asserting that the aim Of modern
dentists is to maintain mouths and
teeth in good condition rather than
to cure them after disease and decay
appears, DR.. Dursema said the 10000
dentists of the nation could work day
and night and not finish the correc-
tive work necessary In the mouths OF
Americas school children alone.
Urging good habits of diet as vel!
as of personal hygiene, the speaker
said some Of the nations ills r due
to the highly refined foods which are
eaten and the failure to are for
teeth during childhood. When q chill
prematurely loses a tooth, he said, it
affects the shape of the dental arch
and makes it probable that the per-
manent teeth will be somewhat de-
formed.
The use of toothpastes and mouth
washes is not important, he said, ex-
cept as they make the duty OF taking
care of the teeth a Pleasant one The
real benefit, he said, comes from Wig
orous and proper use of the brush.
Jack Mclaughlin and s. H. Floren
were appointed al q committee to
take charge of clean : up week from
April 20 to 26, which is sponsored an
nually by the Lions club.
After deciding to entertain the
basketball team and coaches Ct Bis

tee was appointed to arrange tor this
affair. The members are e. B. Kleiu.
