Good Teeth
Start
With Infancy
GOOD teeth, well taken
care of, add a charm to
any face. A child with
a deformed mouth enters the
race of life with a big handi
cap. There Is nothing that
detract more from a person's
appearance than unsightly or
Irregular teeth.
Straight, even teeth a per
fectly shaped mouth rest
very largely with mother's
care In Infancy, Few realize
the danger likely to result
from allowing young children
to form the habit of sucking
their thumbs or fingers. This
tends to force out the upper
front teeth and Jaw, and to
push back the lower front
teeth and Jaw. A deformed
face Is the result.
This deformity causes the
teeth to come In Irregularly.
Deformed Jaws help to cause
adenoids and mouth-breathing,
and mental development
Is retarded by displacement of
the bones of the Jaws and
face.
Do not ntplect the itmporarg
teeth. They represent the
structure on which the per
manent teeth are built. If
lost by decay before their
time, the Jaws fall to expand
properly, and the Incoming
permanent teeth will be
crowded and Irregular. A
child's temporary molars are
not fully replaced by the per
manent teeth until the tenth
or twelfth year after birth.

At Pennsylvania It Was Found That
Application of Six Tons Was
Better Than Ten,
Stable manure has long been con
sidered a very valuable fertilizer. It
Is usually thought by farmers that the
larger the application of manure the
greater the crop Increase. Experimen
tal data shows that such Is not the
case. At Pennsylvania it was round
that an application of six tons per
acre gave a return of $3.29 per ton as
compared with $2.29 per ton when ten
tons per acre were used. This Is a dol
lar a ton In favor of the lighter appli
cation. At the' same rate the farmer
who has a hundred tons of manure to
spread can save nearly enough to pay
for his manure spreader. Hand spread
ing could hardly put manure on at the
rate of six tons. This is not an Iso
lated case. Other work has shown nn
actually smaller yield with a large
amount than with a smaller amount of
manure.

SOIL PLANT FOODS REMOVED
Experiments Add Valuable Information
for Farmer in Use of Commercial
Fertilizer.
A great many experiments, care
fully controlled, have been made, to
determine the amount of soil plant
food removed by crops, and wnne
In a general way they are more In
teresting than practically Instructing
for the average farmer, yet they add
valuable Information along the line
of the use of commercial fertilizers.
The results obtained from the corn
experiments show nn average use by
full crops of 8!) pounds of nitrogen, 88
pounds of phosphoric acid, and 78 4-10
pounds of potash. The husking corn .
uses more nitrogen In proportion than
the enRlluge corn, but this Is no doubt
due to the prolonged feeding seuson,
developing and ripening the ears, the
ensilage being cut In green stuge.
There Is, however, quite a wide range
shown In some of the tests, which is
apparently due t6 the greater avail
ability of the. soil Ingredients. For
Instance, In full crops of both en
sllnge and husking corn Its potash
has been shown varying from CO to
100 pounds to the acre of crops, while
the nitrogen nnd-pliosphorlc acid main
tain their level average.
For Constipation snd Biliousness
Good digestion goes far toward
comfort and health in hot weather.
Undigested food in the stomach can
quickly poison the system. Geo.
Jenner, 416 Labor St., San Antonio,
