Why Teeth Decay.
The question to what extent the
alkaline earth salts in drinking water
affect the decay (caries) of teeth has of
late been studied in several quarters.
Statistics have been collected by Rese
in several localities in Bavaria and by
Foerberg, in Sweden. These have re
vealed the interesting fact that the
extent of decaying teeth bears a definite
relation to the hardness of the water;
in other words, to the quantity of cal
cium and magnesium salts in the earth
through which the water passes. The
harder the water the better the teeth;
the smaller the quantity of these salts
the greater the decay of the teeth.

The healthfulness of bicycle riding
for women is still a disputed question
between eminent physioians and health
reformers.
Csed in moderation it surely creates
for women a means of nut-door exer

concede. Used to excess, like any
other pastime, its effect is likely to be
dangerous.

enced some concern for their daughters
who are fond of wheeling. In the fall
of '96 Miss Bertha, who had ridden a
great deal, began to fail in an alarm
ing manner. She grew steadily paler
and thinner, and it appeared she was
going into consumption. Rest and
quiet did her absolutely no good. A
physician found her pulse at 104 a
