IMPORTANCE OF
MOUTH HYGIENE
(Dr. J. H. Hammond, Commissioner
of Health, Walker County.)
"Infection of the teeth and gums
causes, directly or indirectly, one-half
of the fatal diseases. This infection
exists because the teeth and gums are
not kept clean.” This quotation is
from a book written by a teacher,
chief dentist, of mouth hygiene, in one
of the largest and most popular med
ical colleges in our country—or the
world.
To appreciate the truth here ex
pressed and the extreme importance
of properly caring for the teeth and
gums, it is essential to understand
that infection, or disease, cannot oc
cur unless the disease-producing germ
gets within, not Just on the body; that
nature has provided for protection of
the outside skin through which, if un
broken, germs certainly cannot pene
trate, and for the mouth and all other
cavities a mucous membrane which,
if kept free from breaks, smooth and
firm, is almost as effective in protect
ing against the majority of our most
serious affections. The surgeon of to
day would not dare to perform an op
eration without first destroying with
antiseptics the germs which he knows
are in waiting for an opening to be
made; and this knowledge with its
conscientious application is saving
thousands of lives daily. If the mos
quito had no proboscis for penetrat
ing the skin yellow and malarial fe
vers could not exist; could the dog ,
be deprived of teeth his poisonous sa- I
liva, simply deposited on the skin, '
would never cause hydrophobia.
Though not so specific nor quite
so certain in action as in the instances
just mentioned, a clean mouth with
sound teeth and firm, smooth unbro
ken gums, including healthy tonsils,
which is dependant, no doubt, In many
instances, on a clean mouth In front
of them, the saving from sickness
would be enormously greater; for not
only do the causes of acute diseases
coming from without pass immediate
ly within through the openings in
diseased teeth, gums, tonsils, but these
organs when themselves Infected
elaborate a poison which is slowly and
constantly absorbed Into the system,
causing almost unlimited diseases, in
cluding rheumatism, neuralgia, heart
disease, kidney disease.
The mouth Is the place of entrance
of all food and water, both of which
often contain disease producing germs,
a large part of the air being dust
and moisture frequently laden with
germ passes through this cavity; the
common drinking cup just from the
lips of the diseased, dirty fingers, pen
cils and numerous other objects make
deposits here. If there are no open
ings within, the infecting material may
be detained and expectorated, or
swallowed and destroyed by the
stomach juices, but If the doors are
open It is liable to .pass Immediately
into the blood and begin its deadly
work. No trouble to understand the
Importance of keeping these doors
closed.
Care of the teeth, to be of much
value must begin in babyhood, and
to be satisfactory and continue
through life will depend on the faith
fulness of the mother in establishing
the habit early.
Dentists tell us that perfect clean
liness will prevent decay of the teeth
and gums; that this may be secured
by thorough use of the brush and den
tal floss dally; that a little mild soap,
a bit of table salt or tooth paste If
one prefers It, though not essential,
may be of help. For the baby up to
four or five years, only a brush, very
small and soft, is needed. Jf the tem
porary teeth show signs of decay, a
dentist should be consulted, because
If lost early the permanent ones will
be Irregular.
To prevent repulsive mouth, to
avoid a foul breath, or toothache, or
the loss of organs so useful Indiges
tion are objects any one of which
Is worth far more than all of the time
and expanse required to properly care
for the mouth, but all of these objects
combined are insignificant compared
with the saving of expense, ineffi
ciency, suffering and lossiof life. At
tention limited to no other part of the
human body, perhaps, can add so
much to the span of life, Its capability
of service and the happiness it can
yield.
TEACHERS TAUGHT HEALTH
One of the beet things done by our
Department of Education In a long
time was the Incorporation of one
period a day at the Teachers’ Insti
tutes on Health, Hygiene and Sanita
tion. The lesson outlines were pre
pared by the State Board of Health
and Georgia Tuberculosis Association.
The text books are furnished by the
State Board of Health and at each of
the fifteen Institutes a representative
of the State Board of Health gives a
talk on Organization for Health and
also urges the necessity for the teach
er being physically fit and a living ex
ample to her pupils and the com
munity.
SHE WORE NO STOCKINGS
We are about to be confronted
with the stockingless woman, and we
admit the style is sensible, but if
women leave off much more, manu
facturers will have to invent some
thing new, or else go out of business.
Here is a news item taken from
the New York Times:
"The coolest looking person among;
the many passengers sailing on the
Cunarder Mauretania, yesterday af-1
ternoon for Plymouth, Cherbourg and
Southampton, was Miss Gertrude
Lawrence, the English actress, who
is going home for a vacation. She
wore a thin sky blue dress with hat
of a dark shade, patent leather shoes,
and no stockings.
Miss Lawrence said she discarded
stockings in California last April and
had not worn any since because it
was cooler, healthier and much.cr.eap
er.
“They are useless expense and
encumbrance,” she said. “I have
saved between SSOO and S7OO during
the past four months. Stockings al
ways cost me $lO a pair, and on
some evenings I wore two pairs in
stead of one.”
Commenting on the stockingless
woman, the Savannah Press adds:
“It sounds a little harsh, at first,
and yet it is the natural sequence to
the fashions of the day. Woman
ha's discarded hair pins, where form
erly she wore a billion or so a year;
she has given up plumes on her hats,
where in the past the ostriches of
more than one country were requir
ed to shed their plumage that ntadame
might have her hats properly trim-:
mod. She has long since abandoned j
corsets, when ,in the days of our
grandmothers a woman without stays
was considered a creature with a kink
in her mentality.
“She has adopted a style of dress
for street and reception that, in
years gone by, was considered only
fit to be worn in the innermost re
cesses of the home and in the pres
ence of the most intimate fnembers of
the family. Re-creating the mother
hubbard to a sphere of dress respect
ability has been one of the wonders
of the feminine age.
“The modern woman has thrown
into bankruptcy the shoemaker who
has stuck to the old styles of high
boots and substantial leathers for
women’s wear. The feminine shoe
of today has nothing to commend it,
so far as stability is concerned. It
is made to look at more than it is
to wear.
“The modern woman has, indeed,
freed herself of every encumbrance
that she could be expected to get
along without, and that she has now
discarded her hosiehy is not to be
wondered at.
“About the best we mere men can
do is to throw our hands in the air
and exclaim:
“Madame, what next!”
SUSANNA WESLEY
One of the loveliest mothers in
history was Susanna Wesley, the .20-
year-old girl who married a poor
curate and spent the rest of her life
educating her 19 children.
She used to say, when asked how
she managed to give them each in
dividual attention, '“On Monday I
talk with Molly, on Tuesday with
Hetty, on Wednesday with Nancy, on
Thursday with Jaeky, on Friday with
Patty, on Saturday with Charles, and
with Emily and Sukey together on
Sunday.”
She held regular classes in the
garden of her modest home in Eng
land, and there she taught John
and Charles, the most famous of her
children, those virtues which helped
them to gain a prominent place in
life. When they were invited by
General Oglethorpe to go to America
and help Christianize • the natives,
she was a young widow with tremend
! ouf task of bringing up her flock of
children. Yet she insisted that these
two, who were old enough to help
her, contribute what they could to i
this worthy duty.
It was through her influence that j
John Wesley later became one of
the greatest religious organizers in
the world and the founder of Meth
odism. t
HOW LONG WILL THE SEAT
OF YOUR TROUSERS WEAR?
Birmingham, Eng.—How many
times can a man sit down without
wearing out the seat of his trousers?
A definite answer to this really im
portant question now can be obtain
ed in round numbers- from a novel,
textile-testing machine devised to
measure the durability of cloth used
in making army unity of cloth for
army trousers, it was found that the
wearer could sit down 97,000 times
before the cloth showed any sign of
wearing through.
Damage Caused by Storm
The tropical storm which had its
origin in the West Indies islands, and
j swept northward until it spent its
[force near Macon, Ga,, is credited
with the following damage:
Fifty-four bodies were washed
ashore at Sanoa from schooners off
Sanoa Island, Santa Domingo.
Eight persons were killed by the
hurricane at Nassau.
Four deaths in Florida and one
in Georgia were credited to the
storm.
A line man was electrocuted at
Miami.
A man was crushed in his cot at
Sanford by a falling tree.
An engineer was killed at Orlando
when his train struck a switch en
gine.
A boatman was crushed at Palm
Beach. *
A railroad president was killed
in South Georgia when his engine
went into a ditch.
Damage to property at Nassau
was estimated at $5,000,000.
Miami fixed damage there at SIOO,-
000.
Damage In the greater Palm Beach i
area was estimated at $2,500,000. j
Stuart, Fla., estimated damage at
$250,000.
Orlando estimated crop and pro- j
perty damage in the Indian river
section at $500,000.
POISON IVY—AND RED BUGS
Many a woodland wanderer in this
vacation season should be interested
in news of a preventive and cure for
poison ivy, especially since the pre
scription comes from so high a source
as the Field Museum of Natural'llis
tory. The museum, whose expedi
tions go forth to every region of the
earth and whose scientist-explorers
encounter all manner of toxic plants,
has issued a booklet on poison ivy by
the distinguished chemist, Dr. James
B. McNair. In extensive research he
found that Ivy poison “is rendered
insoluble and made harmless, by
chemical union with iron.” While
sundry iron salts are effective for
this purpose, the most suitable, in his
judgment, is ferric chloride. “A
mixture of one part, by weight, of
J ferric chloride with ten of alchol and
ten of water, to be washed on the
jskin and allowed to dry there, be
fore one goes into places where poi
son ivy grows, and after such possi
ble exposure”—so runs the recipe. If
some savant will now provide a
charm against the red bug, the sum
mer of 1926 will be ever memorable
in the history of human progress.
LET HIM HAVE IT
In a report now being sent to news
papers throughout the country the Na
tional Safety Council declares that
thousands of fatal accidents were
caused last year by motorists con
testing the right-of-way; by each
one refusing to show the other a lit
tle consideration. Several hundred
others met death in accidentas that
would have been avoided if drivers
had held out their hand to signal a
left turn or a stop. So it all goes
to show, as we have argued before,
and as every motorist in Covington
will agree, that when the facts are
shifted down, it will be found that
almost every accident could have been
averted by a little display of care.
“Courtesy Means Safety” is just as
sensible a slogan as one can adopt and
follow, for seldom do you hear of
anyone being maimed or killed when
one or both drivers are showing a lit
tle consideration for each other.—
Covington News.
GOVERMENT REWARDS
SOLDIER FOR ALLOWING
MOSQUITOES TO BITE HIM
Washington.—Clyde L. West, who
volunteered to submit to the bites of
infected mosquitoes during the study
of yellow fever in Cuba in 1900 and
| was stricken with disease, has been
rewarded by the government for
his heroism in the campaign to ex
terminate the scourage.
The war department announced
that congress has ordered that West
be paid SIOO monthly for the bal
ance of his life “in special recogni
tion of the eminent service he ren
dered, the suffering endured and the
permanent disabilities contracted by
him in the interest of humanity and
science.”
At Columbia Barracks, Cuba, tiie
studies of the late Major Walter
| Reed proved that the disease is trans
mitted by infected mosquitoes. He
called for volunteers to aid his re
*earches. West, a private, volun
teered twice. The first innoculatio/i
did not produce the fever and he sub
: mitted again, and developed the dis*
[abilities as a result.
BEANS FROM BLUE MOUNTAm
Four years age, fifty hampers of
stringltffcs green beans were dapped
from Blue Mountain, Fannin ctxraty,
Georgia. Last year, the driest in
j eighty-five years, one thousand etgfet
hundred hampers were shipped, and
the 1926 crop promises to be tiw’ee
thousand five hundred hamper*.
The average yield for four irxa
has been one hundred and fifty
hampers an acre. The average* re
turns to the growers have bee® ne
dollar and fifty cents a hamper—two
hundred and twenty-five doTTare an
acre. The land will easily prv iace
two crops a year. Some year - tfr.e
price to growers has been as high as
three dollars a hamper.
One of the largest growers .Tgyfies

HOT WEATHER ADVICE
Lest you suffer too much during;
l the hot waves of this summer, mmy
we remind you that there are g**od
rules for everybody?—
Dress lightly, keep out of the- mm
as much as possible, eat enoughs bat
not too much, and don’t swiff ice
water or other cold drinks alii day
long. Hct tea, without super or
milk, is better than any of them. %::d
the warm or hot bath is more renl
ing in its effects, than the cold one,
i for all except the most rugged.
; Don’t get scared as long as pergvir
| ation is free. When it stops: mod
the skin gets dry and feverish, tfcen
look out for yourself, and do it in
stantly.
Fruits and salads are estihrasle
foods in hot weather, but so they awi
in cold weather, too, and it fe
|to remember that starvation im
not a good preparation for meating
any emergency.
NO VACATIONS?
tFrom Savannah Press )
Vacations are not mv sary IF

intended to take no vacation himself
this year.
“I cannot recall having had two
weeks’ vacation in my life," said
Mr. Andrus at his Yonkers home. “I
will take my vacation at my (feafe. I
do not think vacations are necessary.
If people would keep fit and rvrt
overload their stomachs they would
not need to take vacations.”
Despite this pronounciamento, Mr.
