begin 10 lose teeth. they should
fight against it as hard as pos

Only those who have lost their
teeth know how valuable and
comfortable they were COM

them.
Some patients and some dem
fists are willing TO sacrifice
teeth very lightly, but most
dentists are very conservative
and do everything they can 10
save as many teeth as possible.
4 FTER the event has occurred,
"a however, and you have what
is known as an edentulouS
mouth, there are many methods
10 be used TO help bring back
reasonable amount Of comfort.
In the first place, the dentist
should study the mentality and
the needs Of the patient.
There should be a long talk
and a thorough understanding
of Just how much the patient
expects and just what he wants.
Then the patient should UNI
derStand that complete dag

cedure.
If the patient does not con-
sent 10 a complete diagnoStic
study the ultimate result is
likely 10 be very unsatisfactory.
THOSE who have had expert

study before denture construc-

that affects our comfort or con-

TT SIMPLY is no use trying TO
keep our people from drink

1t difficult for them 10 get il
you merely increase their in

They consider it a triumph
to overcome obstacles in This
manner and since this is true
of civilians it is probably true
also of men IN the service. who
firmly believe were doing less
drinking in this war than the
men in the last war, a fact /
ascribed TO the ease with which
liquor could be had by them.

any of the beautiful theories OF
those who want dry army and

that there will be more drink

with a liquor deadline than
ever before, especially among
the servicemen.
When they could get IL. they
did not want it, the principle
being much the same as the old
idea of some parents that free
access to liquor in the house

they cannot have it--wel, sou
