Bad Teeth Are WastefuI

Dau F1IC NtdStClu
We can learn a lesson in the val
lie of dental hygiene from the chill
dren of the nation.
In Chicago it is Conservatives
estimated that the city spends s3,
100000 annually to educate ere
peaters' s'-children who have to
spend two years or more in the
same grade, owing to failure. Sew
enty per cent of these repeaters are
retarded by physical ailments. 1t is
estimated that at least 25 per cent
of the failures could be prevented
by curing dental disorders. Defec-
tive teeth, in other words, are cost
ing Chicago taxpayers $850,00O ev-
cry year.
These children with poor teeth
fail because of absence from school,
and decreased efficiency when they
are in the classroom. Even though
their teeth do not ache, infection
spreads from the teeth to other
parts of the body, and cuts down on
the amount of energy that the child
would normally have. He therefore
cannot concentrate on his lessons as
he should, and fails. Often his
health and mental efficiency are i'm
paired for the rest Of his life.
School officials are able to esti-
mate the loss to students because
the children are grouped together
in classes for long periods of time
Greater difficulty is found in esti-
mating loss to adults. But the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany recently took the physical rec
ords of 1000 employees with good
mouth conditions and 1000 with
poor mouth conditions. Employees
with poor mouth conditions showed
a higher percentage of neuralgia,
neuritis, headaches, nervousness,
colds, and assesses.
A large Chicago Industrial plant
examined 1876 patients with bad
teeth, who complained of other all
ments. More than 50 per cent OF
the persons treated-152-were
cured or relieved by removal of den
tai infections. General health was
improved in nearly rs per cent.
Ailments included myositis, arth-
ritis and chronic stomach trouble
Myositis is an Inflammation Of the
tissues.
These facts indicate the harm
that poor teeth can do to general
health. But they cannot show the
great financial loss that they can
cause to adults. From the chill
dren's statistics in Chicago, we can
see what loss is caused by poor
teeth among students. How much
greater that loss must be to adults,
all of whom have greater RESPONSE
bilities, and to many of whom
time is money.

The "Sycan1ore :
A Story of Bristol Township Folk
By c. B. RAY

William Mcfarland on coming
back bought the land now owned
by Mrs. Ona Warne and Clell Greer
and wife. After selling this he went
to Iowa and spent the rest of his
earthly career. His wife was Aba
gail Roe, sister of Mrs. John Lit
tie of Bristol Someone has said
call the world is a kim Sometimes
it is hard to trace or find the con-
nection-and sometimes it is hard
to hide. To illustrate: A friend
told US one time that he had been
called as a juror in a bastardy case,
this being since women are being
called for jury service. Our friend
listened very attentively to testi-
mcny as given by the witnesses, ana
then to argument of counsel. But
here is the funny part. After the
Jury had been duly instructed and
charged and had gone to their
room to deliberate, one of the jur-
ors Ga LADY, said "sure it is his kid,
anybody ought to know that; it
looks just like him. We had bet
ter tell you that none of these
folks lvec IN -TIstol.
We always have tried to believe
everything the preachers said.
Sometimes it has been hard
thing to do, as right here in Bristol
we have often heard two and some
times three versions of the same

have yet to hear or read an account
Of how come we have so many col
ors among the human race-that is
an explanation that even the au-
thor believed. If we are all re-
lated to Adam and some got sun
over it and some of them staid sun
burned, and some were black and
some were red and some used war
paint, and some use rouge and lip
stick and the farther we go the
less we know. But let us come
Gil along, and you folks will read
and not strain the gray matter. We
have always been glad that we
could not swing the big words 0
the age-because it is 50
much easier to make a mistake
when one cooks with cream, and bel
cause we would rather be femem-
bered in the years to come than &c
cause a commotion this week. Ana
honestly, we believe it is Inherent
or something in the air, water, food,
cider or something, Of old Bristol.
Anyway we know the folk of Bristol
who have really done anything for
their fellowmen, did not try to
stand above and reach down, but
got under and lifted up.
Rowe's
Somewhere in some of our writ
ing that we have never laid on the
desk Of our good friend Durbin, we
have a list OF names of folks who
have lived in the township, and now
there are none of the name left.
You would be surprised at the num-
Der we already have, and we are
adding to the list nearly every
time we write; and here is another
to add-Stephen Rowe and his fam

Bristol folks are as far advanced
in civilizs ton, in education, in fact
all along the line, but they still
beans, onions and so on-or even
wean the baby. That is the home
grown ones. While we have had
folks in Bristol with voices musical
and oratorical, so far as We are
able to find out there have never
been any ventriloquists here. Per-
haps you folks have heard the story,
but we want to tell it anyhow, OF
the ventriloquist who attended the
negro funeral and just as they
were letting the casket down into
the grave the corpse was made to
say, LET me down easy" and you
car finish the story.
Some time ago we told of Jas.
Mcfarland. At that time we did
not think that we had a real live
historian Of that family in our good
friend, Mrs. R. E. Parmiter emma
Dye who not only knows the his
tory, but is a member of this FAM
lily. being a niece Of James. The
story is as follows: James and Mary
Thompson Mcfarland were the par
erts of the following children
James, William, Henry Joh',, Lu
cinda. Nancy, Ellen, Eiza, Lucinda
and Nancy. Lucinda was the wife
OF Hugh Sawyer. and they sleep in
the old Robinson cemetery. Ellen
married Nathaniel Boden. Nancy
was the wife of Joseph Dye. The
Dyes and Bodens went to Iowa.
they sleep in the cemetery at Aims
worth. No doubt many Of our
readers have noticed a seeming mis-
take, so we will explain. They had
two ughters-Lucinda and Nan.
cy who died in infancy; then when
two more were born they named
them Lucinda and Nancy, and they
lived to a ripe old age. The elder
Mcfarland at one time owned what
has later been known as the Cool
Hardesty, Mary l.. Chambers ana
James Mcfarland land. The son
William built the Mary Chambers
house Selling that, he with his
fathers family Joseph Dye and
Chas. Knox families, went by wag-
on to the west. AS we remember
the story, they only staid one night
and came back. Mrs ParmiteT
thinks the Dyes did not get clear
through. On account of sickness
they came back. At any rate the
Dyes came back, then after - years
went again, and spent the rest OF
their life there They got to BE-
well to do, buying land when it was
cheap and staying with it during a
steady increase in value.
The story was told that Mr.. Knox
and his family started back the
next morning Coming back they
bought the Old home, paying $500
more than they had received for i
. short time before, Mr.. Knox was
reported as saying ''the old hound
cried Ohio Their home was later
the home of the son Benjamin, and
now is owned and occupied by the
grandson Frank B. and family.

this house that VIM. Mcfarland
and John Little and the two daugh-
ters Abagail and Jane were married
in a double wedding. Later the
family lived in the Campbell house
by the bridge, and it was here that
Harrison Lyle married.
They were the parents of Jas. W..
Lyle. So we find our deceased
friend Jim had double right ir
our story-because his mother was
a Bristol girl, and because he came
here and spent his last years. Dur
:ng the life of his first wife he liv-
ed in Center township. He was
sale crier, and in our boyhoOd was
one of the good ones. While we az
tended many sales where he was the
auctioneer. we remember two sales
more than any of the others-one
the sale of the personal property OF
Mrs. James Mcfarland, following
her death This was two day
sale. We remember that on the
second day Jim was very hoarse.
The other was the Spencer sale at
Neelyville. At this sale some OF
the young men present thought they
wanted to fight, and for time 1t
looked as though they would break
up the sale; but Jim threw his coat
and informed them if there was TO
be any fighting he would take
band, and they knew he meant 1t,
and order was restored and the sale
went on. After the death of his
first wife he was employed for
time at Barberton.
Mr.. Lyle's second marriage was
to Mrs. Fanny Radcliff who then re-
sided in Caldwell After their mar
riage they purchased the Matson
farm on the western side of our vii
lage, and where Mrs. Lyle con-
tinues to reside.
Jas. Lyle was the father of one
son, John, and three daughters
Ona, Lola and Jessie. The daugh-
ters and sons-in-law with the eX
ception of Ona, have no connection
with the story. and she through her
they named him John Calvin, but
after he reached maturity and
showed a small percent of ear
marks of the preacher, they cut the
name down accordingly and called
him Cal Cal not only lived il
Bristol, but for several years he
with his father the veteran Isaac
Hauke threshed the grain of the
township with a steam outfit. Af-
ter running this engine he kept Oh
going to GAINESVILLE, White Cot
tage and Akron, we believe, where
he held responsible positions as en-
gineer. Later he went TO Cal
ifornia where he is now employed

employed at the 3. & o. machine
shops in GAINESVILLE, in 1902, Gal

he noticed in the morning paper
where somebody at White Cottage
wanted an engineer. He went to a

Rev. w. ]. Mills of GAINESVILLE, a
former pastor, who was in attend
ance at the Bristol homecoming, re-
manned for a visit with friends.
A proposition will be submitted to
the voters Of Bristol township at
the November election, to levy three
mills for school purposes. This levy
has carried every time it has been
submitted, but this time it is to be
for an indefinite period. With col
lege graduates as well as high
school graduates and school teach
ers begging for work on the
highways, and in the stone Quarries,
it looks like the school system needs
a remodeling
Thanks Rowland. the omission OF
the Wilson Henderson name was
surely unintentional.
The work at the H. G.. Henderson
quarry is nearing completion.
The county agent proposition
seems to be a plank in the platform
of some of the candidates for coun-
ty commissioner.
Joseph Howard of Patriot, Gala
county, former Bristol resident,
was here visiting friends last week,
going from here to Columbus, where
he will visit and attend the fair.
Yes Sines goes to Columbus this
week, where he will be one of the
contestants in the sheep shearing
contest.
Bert Hartley and family who
have been living on the Rosa Fox
farm, the former Wm Martin farm,
will move this week to the Fuller
farm, near Ringgold.
Recently we met man in town
who said he knew us-that we had
gone to school together. We rack
ed our head to think of a school
mate who had become a Bishop, a
Justice of the Supreme Court, or any
of the like positions, but we couldn't
place him, when we found out it
was William Richards-he whom
we called "Bill Dick" 1t surely is
wonderful what those lady face fix
ers can do with some faces.
Mr.. and Mrs. T. E. Sines and
