Care Of Teeth
“It is bettor to hike paina than
to have pains take you.” One. of
the best ways to avoid pain is to
keep the teeth clean. Tooth brush
es arc cheap and water in most
places is free, and by using them
many aches and plains can be
avoided and much money can be
saved that would otherwise be
spent for dental repairs, doctors’
bills and drug store supplies.
Pure food laws and inspectors
have done much in .the way of
eliminating impure foods from the
market, but pure foods at once be
come impure if chowed with dirty
teeth.
The enamel covoring of a tooth
is hard but rather brittle; there
fore, people should not pick their
tooth with a knife, with pins or
other metal substances, or crack
nuts or bite other hard objects, as
such practices are apt to crack the
cnumcl and permit germs to get in
their dirty work.
hjuch good can be done by brush
ing the teeth before going to bed
and after breakfast. They should
be washed after every meal just as
the dishes arc. It is a good plan
to have a dentist look over the
teeth every six months. In this
w.vy shall holes will be discovered
and can be filled before much of
the tooth is destroyed and before
toothache anil abscesses begin. It
is also less expensive and less jmin-
ful to have a small hole filled.
Children’s first teeth should be
cared for tho some as the teeth of
adults; otherwise the second sot is
apt to come in ‘crooked. Decayed
teeth in children and in adults
frequently lead to indigestion be
cause the food can not be ground
up properly but is swallowed in in-
digestible lumps; and, also, the
food being mixed with countless
germs in tho mouth will ferment
and sour in the stomach and intes
tines. This leads to poor nutri
tion, which leads to weakness,
which in turn predisposes to many
diseases.
*
A tooth should not be pulled out
if doing so cun be avoided, for not
only will its grinding surface be
lost, but part of the surface of the
two teeth that oppose it will be
lost also. It is marvelous what
dentists can do in the way of
straightening crooked teeth and
putting them in line. By having
them properly lined up the appear
ance of the face and mouth urc
greatly improved and tho total
masticating surface is increase.
Babies should be prohibited from
suoking their thumbs, and if older
children have adenoids such
growths shou Id be removed.
Thumb sucking and adenoids cause
disfiguration of the arches of the
mouth and eausc the teeth to come
in out of line.
EQUAL RATES TO ALL
NO MORE SPECIAL FAVORS
Out of 2,000 shipping towns in Georgia about 6o.enjoy the special privilege of “basing point rates.” That is, rates lower
than to other nearby or intermediate points. The proposed freight rate readjustment in Georgia, set for a hearing before the
Railroad Commission of Georgia on August 17th, seeks to correct this.
It has already been largely done throughout Georgia, with respect to rates from points in other States, and the interstate
“basing point” system has been abolished in accordance with the Act to Regulate Commerce under the orders of the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
. A few example's will show to what extent the hundreds of smaller points in Georgia have been already benefited and how
the readjustment in Georgia, when completed, will work for the benefit of the whole State by equalizing the opportunity of
all towns, large and small, for doing business.
.MADISON, BREMEN, RICHLAND and OCILLA are four widely separated Georgia towns representing different
sections of the State. Similar illustrations can be made by th * hundreds. These four towns suffice to illustrate the striking
changes already brought about in this interstate rate readjustment, shown in the table below:
