THE TOOTH ACHE.
Little Talks.by the State Health Com-
missioners, Dr. Dixon.
We have been taught that the tooth
brush should be as indispensable from
youth to old age as a man’s shadow.
Indeed the latter might be dispensed
with without jeopardizing one’s posi:
tion in polite society.
The primary purpose of ths loc
brush is excellent, but it is well re
membered that as it is intended to
clean, the instrument itself should be
beyond suspicion in this respect. The
majority of disease germs find thir
way into the human system thrcugh
the mucous membrane of the nose an!
mouth.
1f the teeth are not frequently and
properly cleansed these germs or bac-
teria will multiply in cavities or
where particles or food have become
lodged between the teeth. These
minute germ breeding centers should
be removed by vigorous brushing but
when the desired result is accori-
plished care should be taken that they
do not in turn lodge in the intrica-
cies of the tooth bruch. If they remain
there they are later transferred to the
mouth. To guard against this, the
brush should be thoroughly cleansed
before and after using in scalding wa
ter if this is obtainable. If not, in
some non-poisonous antiseptic wasa.
At least wash the brush with soap
and water and rinse thoroughly.
» Care should - be taken not to keep
a tooth brush where it is exposed to
dust and dirt. If there are several
members of the family the same re-
ceptacle should not be used for the
brushes as the germs of disease may
readily be transmitted from one brusi
to another in this matter.
It is well to make use of white
thread or dental floss to remove pa:-
ticles from between thé teeth which
are difficult to remove with the brush.
It is from fragments of food that
lodge between the teeth that decay of-
ten starts.
When you visit the dentist you ex-
pect and demand exceptional cleanli-
ness in the care of his instruments.
See that your own dental utensils are
immaculate.

DOLL A LOVE MESSENGER.
Sent to French Refugee, American
Donor Gets Note of Thanks.
Paris.—Among presents sent on the
Christmas ship Jason by the children
of America to France, distributed re-
cently in the presence of Mme. Poin-
care, was a doll, which fell to the lot
of Irene Chapelle, one of the refugees
living temporarily at the Refuge of the
City of Paris. This little girl found at-
tached to the doll a note reading:
Chicago.
My Dear Little European Sister:
I send you this doll, and I feel lots of
pleasure in giving it to you. I am twelve
years old, and I live in Chicago. I offer
you my affection and my sympathy, and 1
hope that very soon better days will come
back and that peace will reign over you
and the little girls of your country. I
hope also that my doll will find a good
rhamma in you and that she will console
you. Your affectionate’ sister,
KATHERINE ROBERTS.
The little French girl who received
this letter was so much touched by it
that she has written the following re-
ply:
Dear Little American Sister:
I am the little French girl to whom was
given your pretty dolly. I am very happy
that I was chosen to receive this precious
token of friendship from a little Ameri-
can. I also am twelve years old. I am
from the city of Rheims, a refugee, with
all my family in Paris, which is a very
beautiful and very great city, where the
people are very good also. We were very
unhappy to leave our homes, but we have
been much comforted by the kind recep-
tion in our dear capital, but when my
papa shall come back and we may return
home 1 shall take your dolly with me,
and I shall keep also the little piece of
money in so venir of you and your coun-
try. I send you some violets of France,
and I emblrace you very affectionately.
Your little French sister, who will al- |
ways keep a kind remembrance of you,

PIGS BORN WITH TUSKS.
“hey Thrive, Although Owner Breaks
Off the Protuberances.
Lumberton, N. C.—J. G. Bundy re-
ed a litter of pigs at his place all
with tusks about three-quarters
of an inch long. There were eleven
pigs In the litter, and every one had
tusks, from two to three on each side.
Mr. Bundy broke off the tucks with a
pair of pliers, and the pigs are doing
well. In every other way the pigs are
perfectly normal.
Some account for this unusual occur-
rence—though similar occurrences have
{been reported during the past few
years—by crossing breeds, though that
seems to be just guesswork.
REWARD FOR BIG FAMILIES.
| French Scientist Academy Sees Cause
For Alarm In Decrease of Births.
| Paris.—The problem of repopulation
of France is receiving the atten-
| Hon of the Academy of Moral and
Political Sciences. Figures were read
at a meeting of the academy showing
{
|
|
that the number of births annually in
the country in the last twenty years
fell from 860,000 to 750,000.
It is estimated if a proportionate de-
crease - should continue for another
twenty years the future military class-
es would be 30,000 less than the classes
of 1914, 1915 and 1916.
The question was considered so vital
ft was suggested that important ad-
vantages should be accorded fathers
of families having numerous children.
and that the idea Le generalized that
the normal family comprises three chil
dren.
It was suggested that the heads of
such families be allowed to share in a
proposed recompense.
