W.t-tA. added further to an impres­ sive string of wins by defeating Blyth in the,,Wingham Arena Friday night by a 4-2 score, The clubs played a couple of weeks earlier lit Corrie with 7 the same result. Only a small crowd was on hand, due to the state of the roads from the two villages and the counter-attractions locally. The work1 of Steurriol, diminutive Gorrie net-minder, was perhaps the' greatest factor in that club’s win. Out in front, Brown, Leggatt and Higgins looked good. Sam McGee, in the net for Blyth, had an off-night, although he was afforded poor protection. Joe Haggett exhibited some good stick­ handling and a good turn of speed and along with Doak, was perhaps Blyfh’s best. The game, for the first two periods at least, was not a bad ex­ hibition of the great winter pastime.

M: with time were A bus' K HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND L'lFEl INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA BAD BREATH ri saw Whether it is called bad breath, or halitosis, it is equally offensive, and most, if not all of it, can be overcome by giving greater attention to the care of the mouth. Halitosis is not a new complaint. It was known to the Greeks who call­ ed it by several uncomplimentary names. Modern advertising has had so much to say about it that many people have been made uncomfortable for fear that they may be offending. The most common cause is the teeth. We all know the bad smell which comes from decaying meat or vegetables. Similar decay takes place in the mouth when particles of food are left in and around the. teeth, and the breath is tainted.- thereby. Teeth which are themselves decayed, or gums which are oozing pus also foul the breath. One smell may be overcome by an­ other odour; it is then a question as to which you prefer. At one time, perfume was used chiefly to offset body odours due to a lack of bathing. Mouth washes and gargles do not take the place of mouth cleanliness any more than the use of perfume ov­ ercomes the need for regular bath­ ing. The bad breath may arise from dis- cased tonsils or infected sinuses; rare­ ly is it due to other than local con­ ditions in or adjacent to the nose and. mouth. Eructations of sour material from the stomach will taint the breath for a few minutes only. Proof that it is the particles of food which are responsible is seen in the experiment carried out when onions and garlic were swallowed in capsule form; there was then no odour of either on the breath. Social customs have had an impor- tant influence upon personal health. Halitosis is not a health problem, but mouth cleanliness is very definitely a subject in which those who are in­ terested in health are vitaliy concern­ ed. The mouth is the gateway to the body. A clean mouth promotes den­ tal health, which in turn, contributes to the general health and well-being of the-whole body. A healthy mouth, allows for proper mastication and gives digestion the right start A healthy mouth is a clean mouth, and a clean mouth is an odourless Cavity-., Questions concCi'nittg Health, ad­ dressed to the Canadian MediCal As­ sociation, 184 College St., Toronto* will be answered personally by letter.
