dentist several times year and all
cracks and crevices in the enamel
should be repaired. Those who have
good, strong teeth and clean mouths
are less susceptible to disease and
infection and usually have better
health than the person whose teeth
have been neglected. Sound teeth
and clean mouths constitute a safe
guard against disease and infection
and guide the way to good health.
All the organs of the body demand
special care but the care of teeth de-
mands but little. Vigorous brushing
of the teeth, plenty of hard, chevy
food in the diet and inspections and
repair work done by the dentists will
produce the quick results of clean,
well constructed teeth and good health
which will be the pathway to happi-
ness. The health and the teeth are
closely Joined and must not be sep
arated for it is said that the teeth
are the gateway to good health.

SUICIDE LEAPS FROM
SUSQUEHANNA BRIDGE

A small coupe stopped last week
at the middle of the Havre de Grace
Perryvile bridge and man got out
and climbed to the top of the guard
rail. He made one remark:
"Good-by, boys"
And then he jumped into the river
thirty feet below.
Several hours later his body was
recovered and identified as that of
George Adler, of Rosedale, Md. The
Identification was made through cards
found in his pockets. The license
tags also had been issued to Adler.
The mans parting comment was
heard by Paul Fleming, of Perryville,
who was driving a car close behind
the coupe.
Fleming notified police, who dis
covered, through license tags, that the
coupe was listed to Adler.
Havre de Grace police, assisted by
men from Belair used graphing irons
to locate the jumpers body. They
experienced some difficulty since the
water at that point is twenty-four
feet deep.
The abandoned automobile was
towed to a garage.

neglect of them may be the source of
infection for the second teeth. The
neglect of the first will affect the
strength and usefulness of the per-
manent ones.
Scientists have discovered that the
generations of the past had better
developed and more perfect teeth than
the average person has today. This
was, of course, due to the hard coarse
food which he was forced to chew
strenuously in order to digest. The
chewing Of green, leafy vegetables and
harder and more substantial food
helps in preserving the teeth. The
food today is much finer and needs
less chewing; therefore, in order to
give the teeth the necessary exercise
one should include in his diet plenty
of green vegetables and less pastries
and other soft foods. The brushing
of the teeth and the gums helps by
giving them a part of the necessary
exercise. Proper diet, early dental
care and cleanliness of the mouth are
the outstanding factors which go to
prevent tooth decay and ill health.
The teeth which are one of the most
important parts of the body, are re-
sponsible for masticating all the food
which is so necessary to life. The
teeth must be clean so that the food
will not come in contact with germs
and harmful bacteria which might be
carried into the internal organs of
the body and they must be strong and
well formed so that the food will be
well masticated. Thousands of bac-
terra find their way into the mouth
daily. Out of these only a few are
harmful but these can destroy the
structure of the teeth and the we'll
being of a person. In order to des-
troy those germs which hinder the
proper functions of the body, it is
necessary to brush the teeth several
times each day and to have filled the
crevices which become the logical
place for destructive decay to begin.
The teeth should be inspected by the

gift-a gift to be cherished and pre-
served and upon which largely de-
pends the proper functioning of the
body organs and the general good

cleanliness and perfect structure of
these teeth have a great influence on
the health of person.
The teeth are formed months be-

have the aid of the mother in as

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris (UP) -"Dominicaine" is the name of a coat made by the Callot Soeurs- A coat incidently, we feel we must write. home about.
 In bottle green rought-sur-faced
 wool with a stripe effect of extra lumps in the fabric, this coat has sleeves that are bulbous and black and made of astrakhan fur. Half the collar is also of the fur and 1t comes up high and snug around the throat like Russian smock. From the shoulders to midway to the elbow a fold of wool is added and the whole buttons down tn. front with three enormous black jet buttons nearly as big as tea GU. There is a narrow belt and one pocket, which Is on the left side and made on diagonal. The sleeves, after having then flare from above. elbow to above wrist. come neatly in to cuff which keeps out the wintry wind. It has a sort of sporty effect. f
 And now if you're needing some thing more dressy, we would men, tion another coat by tourrurvs

The sleeves arc slightly full to below the elbow but fit the arm snugly from there to the wrist. There is an enormous collar of two silver foxes and two
 large godets of the foxes at either side of the skirt of the coat. Just severe and chic-that's all.

Your Teeth and Your Health

Protecting the First Teeth

two years of age and rapid in- crease during the third and fourth years so that by the kindergarten age We found 95 per cent Of the children having decayed teeth. It was, amazing to learn of the great number of diseased baby teeth that were menacing the health of kin dergarten children and had to be extracted. Since 1t is known by den- tai authorities that the extraction of deciduous teeth, before 1t is their time to come out naturally, hin. ders the child in chewing his food and interferes markedly with the formation of jaws and teeth, this prevalent disease of deciduous teeth should cause us deep concern.
 ''In our first attempts, to get the pre-school children to the clinic we had very little success because par ents Tn their ignorance of the den- tai needs of young children con- cluded that dental treatment was not necessary. Some had the fool ish notion that the children were too young to go to the dentist.
 However, as the neighborhood became aware of our work, more and more pre-school children att tended our clinic.
 "The, children are taught an ade- quate tooth brushing technic. We found that we can teach children of three to four years of age. In dealing with the children of two and three years of age we depend on the mothers to do the tooth brushing. We place much empha- sis on tooth brushing because we believe in the way we can be sure of adequate circulation of blood to and from the teeth besides keeping food debris from remaining around the teeth.
 Importance, of Diet
 we prescribe a general diet rich in milk as prescribed by Boyd. and Drain (copies may be received by sending a three-cent stamp to Council on Mouth Hygiene. 1143 East Jersey street, Elizabeth, New Jersey).

I have a cancer receipt that will cure any outside cancer no cutting or burning. My father cured a number of bad cases but he had no diploma and was given a sus. pended fine of $100 for a cure (R. H. G.)
 Answer-The same line, with minor variations, comes in about ward for any one who purports to have cancer cure and attempts to keep it secret is suspension at the end of a rope, l think. Light on Measles Daughter, 4, recovering from measles, I kept her in semi-dark- ened room first week, gradually admitting more light until tenth day when I took her out into the sunshine. Did do right? (Mrs s, O. E.) NS
 Answer-No reason for excluding sunshine at any time. If the eyes are excessively inflamed in the eruptive stage protect them by eyeshade or goggles. The more sunshine in a sickroom the better, always.

1. Yes. At last we can answer this much disputed question with facts furnished by Dr David Peters, of Columbus. He matched the rec ords of 921 married with the same number of unmarried teachers and found the pupils under tho former ranked measureably higher in achievement. The married teach CTS also averaged twenty minutes more daily in teaching, spent more time in directing pupils in outside activities. did more as leaders in community work and complained less about increases in their work. Yet in the fact of this many cities are reducing the percentage of theirsmarried teachers as compared with the unmarried. Where the husband also has good job this of course complicates the economic problem but does not affect the educational superiority of married women.

And how people who purport to be clean can stomach the filthy sur roundings and persons of theso cancer charlatans. is as great q mystery to me.
 Unfortunately 1t is no crime to make false claims for your remedy, to give false assurances about what it contains or what 1t does not con- tain, or to promise or pretend to guarantee that it will cure cancer. As long as you are shrewd enough to keep such unsubstantiated as- sertions off the actual label, nobody will interfere with your exploita- ton of cancer victims. Again un- fortunately it is human nature for the friends or relatives to keep silent after the victim of such cruel maltreatment has passed on. They are relieved enough to see that his sufferings are over. So they permit the charlatan to continue telling other victims that his cure has never failed. There is streak of cruelty in every human being about that,
