be used:
The grim reaper of death chose as
his victim this week Scoop Himself,
aged from 81 years, 6 months, Is
days, hours, 81 minutes and SO sec
onds, to ITO.
In the spring of life leaf has fall
len from it's place in the human for
est. Must have been something wrong
with the tree, or else it was the leafs
own fault. Anyway, here 1 lie.
In early life he chose that good part
which was unable to be taken from
him by joining the Presbyterian
church. 1t couldn't be taken away
even after he joined the Lutheran
church. His gentle disposition re-
minded US of the brindle COW, except
in moments of distemper which were
quite frequent.
He was ever willing to lend help
ing hand to a neighbor, provided the
neighbor returned it in good shape
within ninety days, with interest at
6 percent. 1t can be truly said he was
a friend in need-in fact the relief
agencies finally refused him any more.
He was a member of the church
council, but on the other hand he
played Sunday baseball. It's ques-
ton as to which place he is going,
but we can be sure that he has left
here, for which we rejoice.

Loose Lanruape

Recently a public speaker prepar-
ing to make an accusation about
something of which he was ignorant
began with the statement: Il venture
the assertion" There is a phrase con-
Trajectory in its very makeup. An as
sertion is positive affirmation. 1t is
not suggestion, probability, pos
sibility or remote contingency; so it
is not a venture into the realms Of
doubt-a mere personal and prejudiced
opinion. Yet whenever one ventures
the assertion" he is getting ready, nine
times out Of ten, to make a wild and
unfair speculation. He is merely ex-
pressing an unsupported opinion in a
noncommittal way. 1t is funny
phrase, and it ought to be abolished
for incompetency.-Pathfinder Maya

Earth's Chemicals

The number of so-called chemical
elements which enter into the earth'S
composition is more than eighty, but
few of these figure as important con-
stituents of the portion known to US.
Nearly one-half of the mass of this
shell is oxygen and more than quar-
ter is silicon. The remaining quarter
is made up largely Of aluminium, iron,
calcium, magnesium and the alkalies
sodium and potassium, in the order
named. These eight constituent ele-
ments are the only ones that are i'm
portant parts of the earth's surface
shell. They are not found in the free
condition, but combined in proportions
characteristic Of chemical compounds,
and are known as minerals.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
CALLS TEETH MILLSTONES
Function in Performing Their
Task of Grinding Food

Comparing the teeth to millstones,
DR.. Richard C. Leonard, Chief of the
Division of Oral Hygiene of the
Maryland State Department of
Health, said: whether the teeth
often called the 'millstones' of the
body-function satisfactorily as the
food we eat, or whether they be-
come like the proverbial 'millstones
about our necks,' constant sources of
annoyance, depends upon three main
factors. /. Structural strength-re-
sistance to wear and decay. 2. Con-
slant supervision-correction of de-
fects. 8. Scrupulous cleanliness.
"Our teeth resemble millstones in
depending upon their structural
strength to perform their task of
grinding food. In the actual mill only
those stones that have a definite re-
sistance to wear and destruction can
be used as grinders of grain. Teeth
must have similar qualities of
strength and resistance to decay. In
both sorts of millstones, structural
strength depends especially upon the
elements that go into their makeup.
The framework of our teeth is COM
posed largely of calcium and phos-
phorus salts. Their resistance to
wear and tear depends to a consider
able degree upon whether the diet Of
the expectant mother and of the
growing child has been sufficiently
rich in the mineral salts and vita
minis that give this quality to the
teeth. These necessary elements are
found in all dairy products, in the
green leafy vegetables and in certain
fruits, especially oranges and toma-
toes.
''In selecting stones for a mill,
great care has to be taken to be sure
they are free from imperfections
Equal care has to be taken to see that
the teeth are free from defects. The
teeth are not always perfect as they
grow out from the gum. Sometimes
they are pitted with tiny crevices that
will deepen or extend if not attended
to promptly. This can be done easily,
painlessly and permanently, by COM
petent dentist.
"As to our third factor-mouth
cleanliness. Dirty millsrones are I'M
satisfactory as grinders of grain.
They must be kept clean if they are
to perform their tasks properly. So
must the teeth. People who would re-
fuse to use flour ground between
dirty millstones, in a filthy mill,
should realize that that is what hap
pens when food is taken into dirty
mouth to be chewed by corroded or
decayed grinders Teeth that are
not clean, are not only a menace to
health but an affront to common de-
cency. Scrupulous cleanliness calls
for thorough brushing of the teeth,
morning and night.
Beginning when they are two or
three years old, children should be
taken to a dentist for a thorough
dental examination and the necessary
correctional treatment. From then
on, a child should be taken to the
family dentist at least twice a year;
oftener if the dentist advises it."

Excelsior Production

It is estimated that one cord of ex-
celsior wood will yield an average of
2,0O0 pounds of excelsior. However,
this often varies from 1850 to $500,
pounds per cord. The various species
Of aspen and cottonwood, together;
with Eastwood, constitute considerably
more than half of all the excelsior
produced in this country. Other spe-;;
cies used in excelsior manufacture in
this country are the various southern
pines, willow. red gum, white pine,
spruce and small quantities of con-
siderable number of other woods.

Waterfalls of Norway

Norway, famous for it's rugged
scenery, is land of innumerable wa
terfalls. The Voringfos falls, on the
Bjoreia, and the Skjaeggedalfos, on
the Tyassa, both are well over 500
feet in height. On the Markedola, in
the region of the So9ne ford, is the
Vettisfos falls, with a drop of $50
feet. The Seven Sisters falls, are
located on one of the branches of the
Storfjord. There are seven separate
falls in this natural wonder.

HOUSING DEMAND

cording to Harry S. kissell, Springfield
Ohio
Mr.. Kissell. a past president of the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards. in an address at the recent
convention of that body, reported that
in the year 1925 in 257 cities 492 900
housing units were built.
Declines in Construction.
He added that construction has de-
clined every year since then and that
figures for the first four months of
this year inaIcated that some 10000
units would be built during 1882.
In 1925 there was nothing like the
amount OF vacancies that exist in resi-
dental housing of the country at this
time, he pointed out.
Turning to census figures to indicate
the increasing population, M KiSsell
quoted the 1920 census as numbering
l05,5lC,O0O persons, whereas the census
figures for the country as of July l,
1882, show a population of 124.822 900
This indicates an increase since 1925
of 10 100000. he said.
whenever the present doubling up
in residential quarters is relieved by
better business conditions there IS 60
