The chief ndded cost when hay in hauled directly from the field to the choppeV Is that of machlm-ry nnd powi-r.

One of the most striking facts recently brought out bus been the, relationship of sunlight to 'the soundness of the' teeth and gums.

Others living tinder b-ss restricted conditions In this respect were nof ho affected. It may be. said that fresh vege tables build strong teeth. ,Kor growing, children especially, a well balanced diet of fruit, vegetable and milk Is essintUil to their de velopment. Kor many fears no one thought of visiting a dentist until the tooth ache began. Within recent years, lowever, much uttentlon hiiH been paid to the car of the mouth In rftiutlcn to the protection of gn era! health and It is becoming more and more generally recognized that every person should have a care ful examination made at leust oiu-e a year by a competent dentist.
