LIKES LOTS OF WATER.

Dear Editor:
Having just returned from trip
TO Kalispell when the local newspa-
per came out last week, was a lit
tie bit surprised and more than a
little disguised when read the
comparison made concerning the
amount OF water used in the two
places.
Surprising we do use as much wa
ter as KalispeH We have something
to show for it that we can be proud
Of. Who in Libby would be willing
to sacrifice our green lawns and
beautiful gardens and have our lit
tie city dry up, SO to speak, be-
cause some man or group OF men
wish to capitalize a little more on
an absolute necessity, because it is
something we must have and they
have the advantage. Goodness
knows, we pay enough for water
that we should be allowed all we
need and want to use as long as ii
is plentiful. II it becomes necessary
to economic | dare say there are
few people in Libby who would not
be willing to cooperate.
So let's have enough civic and
personal pride to hold onto the title
we have gained-the most beautiful
small town in the west. And let's
never have it said that we cannot
afford the water to keep things
beautiful

The Four-FoId Value
Of Healthy Teeth
MONTANA STATE BOARD OF
HEALTH
N. F. Gerrie, D. d. S.
Director Dental Health Education

Director Dental Health Education
Primitive peoples, like certain
Eskimos and South Sea Islanders,
usually have beautiful, healthy
teeth, but civilized people must
take some little trouble to keep
their teeth beautiful and healthy.
Is this care worth while?
1t is, for at least four reasons
First, uncared-for decayed teeth
may seriously interfere with health
and comfort. Neglected decay Of
ten results in toothache and extrac-
ton of the tooth for relief of pain.
Also it may result in the formation
of a dental abscess, which may give
rise to Infection elsewhere in the
body.
Second, loss of teeth and dental
irregularities affect personal ap-
pearance. The shape Of the face may
be altered by the loss of either front
or back teeth.
Third, lost, irregular, or broken
down teeth interfere with social
and business success. Such defects
often make young people self-con-
scious and undermine their conf
dence in themselves. 1t has been
found that dental defects are the
most frequent cause of rejection for
military service and for civilian jobs
requiring certificate of good
health.
Fourth, teeth that have been al
lowed to deterlorate cost a good
deal to repair, not only in money,
but also in time, inconvenience, and
unpleasantness 1t is neglect which
is SO expensive in the end Early
treatment however, is usually pain
less, and it saves teeth.

Rhubarb IN Own Juice

will count no less than 5000 dead
from drowning, most If not all of
them sacrificed unnecessarily IN the
name of relief and recreation.
This is the unpleasant but timely
word that comes from the Nation
al Conservation Bureau, whose es-
Inmates are based squarely on past
records.
At least IS per cent of the fatal
tiles from drowning this summer,
the bureaus safety doctors reluc-
family admit, will occur to boys
and girls between the ages of IL
and 10, inclusive, and six out of ev-
cry seven will be boy or man
a token, no doubt, of the males in
durable desire to display his mag
mary prowess before the fair sex.
How to Avoid Tragedy
But it need not happen. say the
accident prevention specialists.
"Safe practices can be followed, "
they assert, when swimming or
using small boats and canoes which
will reduce the possibility of drown
ing to a minimum without inter-
ference in any way with the pleas
ure which may be gained from wa
ter sports. For example, danger of
cramps may be largely eliminated
if you will wait not less than one
hour after eating before going in
the water. also do not swim when
overheated or remain in the water
when chilled or exhausted.
more than 200 persons are killed
each year in diving accidents. Bro
ken necks and backs and shat
tered skulls are the penalty for fail
ure to know the depth of the water
when diving Know the depth OF
the water and be sure there are no
submerged logs or rocks before div
I ing. Don't indulge in water sports
unless competent swimmer is pres
ent in case of emergency. Non
swimmers or poor swimmers can't
save drowning person.
Don't attempt swimming feats
that are beyond your strength.
When you swim out into deep wa
ter, allow plenty of reserve strength
SO that you can return safely. Don't
attempt long distance swims I'M
less you are accompanied by boat,
and don't swim at all if you have
bad heart or other physical de-
| ficiency that may endanger your
life.
Don't Rock That Boat.
when using small boats and
canoes. step or sit along the CEN
ter line of the keel, and don't rock
the boat # your boat does tip
over, don't try to swim to shore un-
less sure you can cover the dis
lance easily. Your boat has enough
buoyancy to support all its occu-
pants in the water until help ar
rives. The best way to rescue an
other swimmer is by pulling him
along by the hair or grasping him
under the armplt and swimming IN
on your back.
t THE best method of artificial res
piration is to stretch the victim out
face down, one arm extended above
his head and the other bent so that
his cheek rests on the back of his
hand. Straddle his knees, apply
pressure with the palms Of the
hands in the small of his back for
two seconds relax for two sec
onds, and again apply pressure.
Keep this up until he regains con-
seriousness or aid arrives. Remem-

Men who have blazed new paths
for civilization have always been
precedent breakers. 1t is ever the
man who believes in his own ideas;
who can think and act without a
crowd to back him; who is bold
original, resourceful; who has the
courage to go where others have
never been, to do what others have
never done-who accomplishes
things and leaves his mark on his
times.
