the place with sunlight, and lamp

Chairman Sheppard D-Tex) of the
military committee told the SEN
ate today that it was the Wa r
department. intention to create a
possible army" of 1900, 900 men
by early 1915.
Sheppard stated this goal during
debate on enactment OF conscrip-
ton legislation. He coupled with
it the statement that to limit the
number of peacetime deaftees to
800, 900 during any n period
would seriously cripple the War
departments plan.
Senator Lodge R-Mass) propos-
ed such a limitation. Sheppard and
some other CONSUMPTION advocates

by Senator O'Mahoney O-Wyo.)
for a 1000, 900 man limitation on
trainees at any one period.
Sheppard said that the possible
army" of 1900, 900 men would in
clude 3,4OO, 900 conscript trainees.
Upon enactment of the draft bill,
he continued, the war department
planned to call up these men be-
ginning October IS, this year, with
a contingent of 5000. By early
January, he said, there would be

In reply to a question, Willkie
said he believed that defense
equipment should be manufactured
by private industry insofar as pos
sible. He added:
There is no reason to create
additional federal debt on ton OF
our already fantastic debt"
Willkie said he had noted that
Solicitor General Francis Biddle,

The republican nominee issued

Medical Care
BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

II have confirmed by repeated
experiments" writes DR.. Everett
Lain, of Oklahoma City, "that hui
man saliva, whether acid, alkaline
or neutral, makes a good electro
lyte through which metallic cleo
irons freely circulate from a high
er to a lower electro potential.
Thus within every oral cavity that
contains dentures such as plates,
bridges, crowns or filings Of dis
similar elemental consistency,
there is constituted a complete gal
vanic battery"
Many must have felt the electric
shock between the teeth when two
dissimilar metal dentures are In
place, one in the upper, the other
in the lower jaw. Again there may
be more or less continuous nerve
soreness from the same cause.
These subjective feelings become
gradually obiterated with the pas
sage of time. But some patients
stay nervous from this obscure,
cause, have indigestion and loss Of
weight. A continuous metallic, as
tringent or salty taste in the mouth,
and increased salivary secretion
also result.
One man I heard of, a carbo-
rundum grinder. who had metallic
deposits all over his teeth found
he had a complete crystal set in
his mouth and could hear radio
programs day and night. 1t took
the facilities of the research de-
partment of the N. B. c. network to
discover what was the matter with
him.
Hollander has described galvan-
ic electric burns of the mouth cav
ity from this cause and others have
described blanched or 6 y sh
patches and erosions on the tongue
and inner cheeks.
This brings up the subject Of
bad dentures in general and the
relation of systematic disturbances
Of the body to traumatic Difficult
ties in the teeth. We discussed the
relation of teeth infection to sys.
temic disturbances yesterday. But
all the body disturbances h a t
come from teeth do not necessarily
have to have a germ origin. The
loss of some teeth places an I'M
equal stress on the remaining teeth
and results in inadequate mastica-
ton and poor nutrition.
Improperly constructed den
lures put an unusual strain on the
jaws and result not only in poor
digestion and nutritio-a few
months ago we recited the case OF
a colleague who lost thirty pounds
