The Care of the Teeth .
The enamel is the natural pro
tection of the teeth, and it Is very
important that it should not be In
jured. It is fairly brittle and may
easily be chipped, so that one
should be careful not to crack hard
nuts with the teeth or to pick the
teeth with hard objects which
might splinter them.
You should eat hard foods like
crusty bread, which tends to polish
the surface of the teeth and to
prevent deposits on them. The teeth
should be brushed regularly night
and moining at least It is well to
brush them after each meal, be
cause the sooner deposits of food
are removed, the better. Once a
day a good tooth powder or good
tooth paste should be used to aid
in cleaning the teeth. Either will
help to remove the .sticky materials
that collect on the teeth.
The tooth brush should not be
too large. Both sides and top of the
teeth should be thoroughly brushed.
All the upper grades have been
furnisned with new bats and balls.
All the grades had their pictures
taken on the steps of the gymna
sium last week.
