Teeth Are Very Essential.

A Lesson We Will Not
Forget.
CLEAN YOUR TEETH
EVERY DAY IN WEEK
You Would Not Want To
Eat Food With Dirty
Teeth. Moving Pictures
Were Shown.

Last Wednesday at one O'Clock
we were entertained by DR.. Kensel-
ey, who gave a very interesting
talk on teeth. He began his speech
by telling the fact that there are
many germs located in the mouth
There are fifty-twO different varie-
ties of germs Tin a normal persons S
mouth) which he compared to a
football squad. They all have GER
tain numbers on their backs dis
tinguishing them and are just
waiting to cause some trouble. He
related an interesting incident about
little boy living at Lancaster. 1t
seems he was giving his talk there
one day and trying to impress the
fact that germs were constantly at
work in your mouth even when you
were sleeping. Here the little boy
spoke up and wanted to know if they
worked if you snOred. Another COM
parison he stated was, he compared
one decayed tooth in your mouth to
a rotten apple in a barrel of good
apples. The effect is the same in
both cases-the deeayed tooth or
rotten apple will ruin the rest of the
good teeth or apples. One of the
worst cases of bad teeth which Dr.
Kenseley had observed was with a
man who had been using a larger
toothbrush when he should have
been using small one. The result
was that part of his back teeth,
which the large brush had missed
were decayed and had poisoned his
system.
1t has been stated by a noted au-
thOrity on dentistry that 1870 of all
teeth taken out are back teeth, be-
cause they are not properly cared
for. DR.. Kenseley told once of col
Ored person who went in the drug
store and asked the druggist for
toothbrush. The druggist asked his |
customer what kind he preferred, a |
large brush, or fine brush. The old |
colOred man replied that he had |
better have the largest one, be-
cause he had large family. Every
body, young and old, should take
good care of his teeth, because 500 |
of all body ailments come from bad
teeth.
Once there was a very forgetful
little boy His mother would send
him to the store to get something
for her, maybe bread, and he would
come back with just the opposite,
say salt One day his mother asked
him to go to the store and he said
he would not forget and buy the
wrong thing this time because he
was going to keep repeating what
he was going to buy which happen
ed to be soap, all the way to the
store. He was trotting along the
street repeating soap, soap, ETC.,
when all of a sudden he slipped and
Tell. When he got up he found that
he had forgotten what he was to
buy. He could not make up his
mind whether to go home and tell
his mother or go to the store and get
and take chance that
1t was the right thing. In his dis
may he began nerVOusly going
around in circle saying, Here |
loss it," Here I'll find it," etc. BY
his he thought he might possibly
-hink of it, when all of a sudden he
slipped on the sidewalk again. He
got up and looked at the sidewalk
md said, that is as slipper as soap"
Then he Immediately remembered it
vas soap he was to get so he man
lged to buy his soap and get home
iafely.
After this DR.. Kenseley brought up
he fact that a smile was one of the
greatest personality aids that you S
AVE. He defined a smile as fol- I
Ows: A smile is the most contagious {
hing in the world. Just observe an 5
or two will start
aughing and soon the whole house
yill be laughing. But if you do not
lean your teeth every day you will
Ose this winning personality. You
lOuld not want to eat food with
irty teeth. why If you do you put
erms in your food the first thing.
asst, but not least the school was
by moving pictures,

title boy named William. He grew
areless and forgot to clean his $
aeth. He was affected in every b
hing he did. His memory was very v
