THE ONLY REASON FOR

avoiding oysters during months without an "R" is that these are the summer months when oysters are usually of poor quality be- cause of the great expenditure of body material in breeding.

Suggestions For Dental Health
tAmerican Dental Assn.)

Mouth breathing, a habit often formed by small children, can seriously interfere with the nor nal development of the bones of the face and cause malformation of the teeth and jaws.
 It is often difficult to detect the existence of the habit until the child is from 6 to months old. As soon as it is detected, parents should make every effort to break the habit.
 Frequently mouth breathing is necessity imposed on a child be- cause of some obstruction in or behind the nasal passages which prevents breathing through the nose. The presence of diseased and enlarged faucial tonsils some times causes mouth breathing.
 The faucial tonsils, usually called merely 'the tonsils" are lit tie masses of tissue located one on each side of the throat in the back of the mouth. The tonsils can be- come so enlarged that they inter- fere with the nasal breathing and the child is forced to secure air through the mouth.
 Another more frequent cause of mouth breathing is the enlarge ment of the pharyngeal tonsils, or adenoids. These are very small masses of glandular tissue attach ed to the wall of the upper air passage, lying just back of the nose.
 Sometimes, child may have a deflection of the thin little bone which divides the nose into halves. If for any reasons this bone is pushed to one side, ade- quate nasal breathing will be inn possible.
 Mouth breathing is harmful be- cause the quantity of air taken in through the mouth when the nose is obstructed is not equal to that during normal nasal respiration. The child's entire system suffers from a lack of oxygen, and the re- suits can be injurious to his whole system as we'll as to the teeth and jaws.
 The Territorial department of health or your local dentist will be glad to answer any questions relating to this article.

Edwin F. Berry
Drowning Victim
il Wolfe Run
Two Boys Find
Body Thursday
Morning AT IL

Edwin Francis Berry, AZ,
brother of Coroner Jack Berry,
and veteran Of World War II, lost
his life by accidental drowning,
late Wednesday evening, during
the torrential downpour which
hit this county, causing streams
to overflow and resulting in sew
eral flash floods.
The victim was found around
HOO o'clock, Thursday morning,
by two small boys, Gerald Tulga
and Nelson McMannus, of Belle
Valley. The body had been
caught on the roots of a tree in
Wolfe Run, near Belle Valley, a
tributary of Duck Greek.
Berry lives on Caldwell route
six, in the Sarahsville- Belle VAL
ley community.
Sheriff Clayton Mckee and
Deputy Harrly L. Merritt were
called and they, in turn, contacted
Coroner Berry, who did not know
until he arrived at the scene OF
the drowning that the victim was
his own brother.
Berry was last seen in Belle
Valley at 11.00 o'clock. His pick
up truck was found on a small
bridge, which spanned the creek
and the lights were still burning
The ignition keys were found in
his pocket.
Coroner Berry advanced the
theory that his brother, either
stepped out the car and slipped
through an opening at the side o1
the bridge into the swollen
waters or waded out into the
flood to test the depth.
Coroner Berry also found his
shirt which had drifted dowr
stream and finally caught or
some projecting roots. The verdic1

The victim had sold a team Of
horses on the day prior to his ac-
cidental death and it was at frs

that he had left it with his wife
before leaving for Belle Valley.
Surviving are his wife, Merle
Berry and two brothers, Coronel
Jack Berry of Mt. Ephraim, ane
George Berry of Whigville.
The victim was a veteran o
World War III and had served 81
months overseas.
Full military services were
held Sunday afternoon at 2:0l
o'clock from the McVay- Shilling
