THE SWEET-TOOTH It has been observed that imigrants coming from rural districts have splendid teeth', while those coming from cities have coated tongues and poor teeth. An examination into the cause of this, has led to the conclus ion that in the country they ate coarse, dark breaks ana plenty ol fruits and vegetables. In the cities they eat more starch and sugar. It has been found that tp eat fruit at the close of a meal will tone up the gums and clean the teeth; while to end the meal with gooey, soft, starchy or sweet foods will leave the teeth all stuck up with particles of food. To eat sweet-meats, and to gratify the sweet-tooth, is not as good for the teeth, nor the system, as to eat sim ple hard foods and plenty of fruits. ma9 greatly, and for her guests enter- Dohbermi.
