What our dentiets have from time to time becn saying has been at last tak- en up by a London doctor, namely, that our teoth are less solidly set in the jaws than they should be for the reason that civilization encourages us {fo eat soft foods, “Biting is becoming a lost art,” says this British doctor. “The surest way to save your teeth from extinetion is to bite hard sub stances. Growing young people of to- day should be given a diet of hard bis- cuits and chop bones.” He points out that the jaws of today are narrower than those of our ancestors-—and this applies to America as well as to Brit. ain—and that unless some changes are made in our mode of life evolution will breed a race that will be practically toothless, He gives as the reason for the narrowing of the jaws and that they are less powerful that they are not sufficiently exercised; that we do not use our teeth to crunch hard foods as did the early Britishers. He notes that wisdom teeth, owing to the gen- eral narrowness of the jaws, are cue at all manner of times, and tells of a man of fifty-two who had just cut a wisdom tooth owing to the removal of other molars which at last allowed it to show itself above the gum. DOCTOR THE ONLY ONE OUT Physician Not Aware He Was Giving a Wholesale Prescription for a Nominal Price, Isaacstein, his wife, and three chil dren came home from a trip on the continent with a rather bad form of exzema. Isaacstein sald to his dear, it is in our blood; a doctor.” “Hut.” replied the cost an awful lot of "Oh, no, me dear” ‘vait.” Then ho ne of blood from hen ie wife: “Me ve must shee wife, “that will money.” sald Isaacstein, round and took a sam- ench of them, and some of his own, In a bottle went to the doctor, who thought t rather a large sample, and the blood was duly exam! and a curative prescription given to Isacstein. “Ow much is it? ked the doo. (tor “One guinea” “There you are, May I use you ‘phone? “Certainly,” from the doctor, who had the pleasure of listening to the following: * "Ello, ‘'ello—Is wont wont ned he as replied the doctor. thank you, doctor. dat you, Rebecca. Vell, dis is me I'm at the doctor's. it's all right I'm all right, you'r all right, and the kids is all right, too!"— Tit-Bits. Making Use of Penguins. The most southern industry in the world Is believed to be the strange business established on Macquarie island, a barren nesting place for sea birds, which les sbout 750 miles southeast of Tasmania, the large igsiand situnted a little south of Austra- lia which is noted for its fine apples, many sheep and valuable timber, and a8 being the birthplace of Mrs. Hum phry Ward, the English novelist, Mae querie island is the home of vast num- bers of penguins, the population of these big birds being estimated at $0,000,000 on an area of 25.000 acres. The penguing are boiled in “digesters holding about 800 birds at a time, and when the steam is turned off and wa- ter pumped into the bottoms of the digesters the oil rises to the top and is drawn off into barrels. It Is used by manufacturers of binder twine in Australia and New Zealand, Harmony of Colors. The principle that the sensaton ou white results from the equal excite ment of sensations produced by the three fundamental radiations is de duced naturally from an analysis of the rules of the harmony of colors. Colored lights do not focus at the game point; therefore the eye must seize different distances at the same time In order to see when different colored surfaces touch. The differ ence of refrangibliity of the different colored rays causes some colors to stand out and others to stand back. Red is the most “flying” or “tapering” of the colors, a red object always ap pearing to be farther away than a blue object, though it is seen on the same plane and in the same light—Har per's Weekly.

The heart as a pump is decidedly up to date, and engineers unanimously agree that its principles of construction for the highest effi ciency are correct, and that it is not surpassed by any pump invented by man. It is not only a powerful force pump of incredible efficiency, but it is FIVE COUNTIES IN LOAN RALLY Northeast Pennsylvania Prepares For a Good Getaway, To complete the organization for the Victory Liberty, Loan drive, committee chairmen from the five counties cola. prising Group C, of the Third Federal Reserve district, Lackawanna, Wayne, Monroe, Pike and Susquehanna, held a luncheon meeting at the Seranton club, Speakers from Philadelphia outlined plans for conducting the drive, More thap fifty Loan leaders attend- ed, OC. 8B.
