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 four hundred pounds an acre of * 10- 4-4 fertilizer at a cost of eight dol lars. The variety used by *3 the old growers is the stringless bera fd. —H. M. Cottrell, Agricust’/rist, Georgia Bankers’ Association.

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 people take care of their health, ac cording to John E. Andrus, fTssa ier, known as one of New York’* | wealthiest men, who revealed bust , Friday that, although 85 years old, fee 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. ; Andrus has arranged for vaentsf-sa for seventy-fve employes in his Kata hatton office.
