The Red Cross work of mercy,'

help is needed, the Red Cross is
always there . ' . The Disaster

HALE, HEARTY AT
SEVENTY.NINE
D. A. MacDonald of Lochalsh
celebrates his 79,th birthday on
Thursday. Nothing unusual about
that" but he had a full stet of
teeth on the lower jaw and
bought his first tooth brush about
a month ago, ; .
Don’t get the idea though that
Dan hasn’t been looking after his
teeth. For, these many years he.
has cleaned them three times
daily with salt and a. brisk mas
sage of. teeth and gums with his
finger. Dan says he rubbed them
till they “squealed’’, and he
shows sparkling set of teeth
top and bottom, There are a few
malar-gaps-on-the'"upper jayv, but"
the lower teeth hre intact. A few;
of them/ have been crowned, be
cause they became worn down by
years of -mastication;
We didn’t^ think to ask; -Mr.
MacDonald what had.decided him
to <buy the tooth .brush after
seventy-nine years without one; ’
D. A/is hale and hearty, light
