Washington, for example, had a man running for Drosecutinor attorney, in King; its most populous county. whojpublicly announced he would not take any part of-the salary, if elected. The similarity with Oregon ends there, for while Oregon elected by overwhelming vote to high of fice the man who renounced all or the major part of the official salary.

For example, every day more-.' aad -more evif ence A ia being accum ulated to prove that good teeth depend almost , wholly on proper diet.-. -. For many years dentists - and doctors, . health and school offi cials, have laid great emphasis on the proper cleansing of the teeth. We have been taught how aad when to brush the teeth and mas sage the gams, what kind, of a brush to use. what paste -or pow der to put oa It. why dental floss is necessary, what month-wash to employ. . And we have been train ed to make semi-annaal trips to the dentist to have him repair the damage that has taken place. Now we are being- taught that unless the diet is correct, all the physical-care that can be given the teeth will not preserve them. But, on the other hand. If the diet is correct, the dentist's-exam ination .will more, often than. not. show that all Is welL ! , Damage to the teeth comes pri marily from within. The teeth fall to form properly or their sub stance breaks down because of a lack of the proper food elements to build them np and make them strong; and .resistant; Tests have recently been con ducted at the University of Mich igan to discover the effect oa the teeth of eating sugar. . Groups of children were carefully watched during a certain period. All of them were gives , an antiseptm month wash twice daily. Borne were allowed their . usual . diet while the others were put on one from which sugar was practically eliminated. At the end of the period the teeth were examined. Two-thirds of those who had eaten sugar had developed cavities. In those who had not had sugar there was no evidence ot decay. Doubtless, it was not the su gar itself- a valuable food when properly used that caused the Mlecay. More likely it is because sweet food takes away, the appe tite for the foods necessary for tooth development. Knowtnc- these things, yon will see why it is wise to eat sweets. especially, in a concentrated form like candy only at the end of a meal. When that la done; there is more likely to be a properly balanced diet, the essentials will be taken. Then the teeth will not suffer from a lack of the food elements they need. what are these elements mat take part la buUding the teeth? The most Important ones are lime, phosphorus, and the sub stance known as vitamin. D. To .secure these elements the diet should contain fresh fruits and 1 vegetables but, more impor tant than anything else it should contain an adequate amount of milk. "! A quart of milk a day by Itself would supply all the vitamin D needed by an adult. For babies and children it is the chief source of this important element, and should never be omitted from the diet.
