Animal Thieves.
Stealing le by no means rare among
the furred and feathered creation, and
many animals apparently band togeth-
er for no other reason than criminal
purposes,
Baboons always steal in bands.
When they wish to rob an orchard
they do it in a • very systematic man-
ner. A sentinel is nested to warn of
danger. The other baboons then line
up like a bucket brigade, one or two of
the members scale the trees, and the
fruit is passed along from one to the
other until the last one gets it, wben
he puts it in a safe place.
Bees, while noted as workers, soma
times have lazy spells when tbey in-
dulge in thieving. There are instances
where whole colonies have attacked a
hive, assaulted the sentinels and in-
mates and sacked the establishment:
Bees that do this repeatedly usually
end by becoming habitual criminals. -

Floor of the Ocean.
It is believed that to an enormous
extent the bed of the ocean is covered
with lava and pumice stone. Stili
more remarkable is it to find the floor
of the ocean covered in many parts
with the dust of meteorites. These
bodies whirl about in the heavens like
miniature comets and are for the most
part broken Into innumerable frag-
ments. We are all familiar with these
heavenly visitants as shooting stars,
but•it has been only lately discovered
that this cosmic dust forms layers at
the bottom of the deepest seas. Be-
tween Honolulu and Tahiti, at a depth
of 2,350 fathoms -over two, miles and
a half -a vast layer of this material
exists. Falling upon land, this impal-
pable dust is indistinguishable; but,
accumulating for centuries in the sea
depths, it forms a wondrous story of
the continuous bombardment of this
planet by cometary bodies.
Trees and Wind.
The effect of wind upon trees is pow-
erful. Even the presence or absence
of forests may be determined by the
character of the prevailing wind or
the conditions that modify it. The
wind acts as a drying agent, giving a
special aspect to many plants. When

er on the windward edges of forests,
and trunks and branches are bent to
leeward. The deformations are most
marked near the sea or in flat regions.
The cherry, plum, 'walnut, black pop-
lar, ash and certain pines are very
sensitive to the wind, bpt mountain
pines and certain firs offer great pow-
ers of resistance, and these are rec-
ommended for reforesting wind swept
lauds.
Plain Hunger.
"Doctor, what disease is the most
prevalent among the poor?"
"An alarming condition in which the
nerve terminations in the stomach
stimulated by accumulated secretions
of the gastric glands send irritations
to the spinal cord by way of the pneu-
mogastric nerve."

think that we rich people eau do noth-
ing for those unfortunate sufferers)"—

I have been receiving parcels of

HOW TO KEEP WELL
at BY JOHN W. S. McOUL.LOUGH, M.D., D.P.H., CHIEF OFFICER
iOF THE PBOVLNOIAL BOARD OF HEALTH.
JEWELS --GOOD TEETH,
0 NLY THE RICll tau adorn themselves with rare and costly jewels.
but the finest, most useful, and most attractive of all Jewels—
good teeth—are within the reach of everyone. Good teeth aro
not only a factor of personal adornment, but their value is much
greater as a means of protection against disease.
Why does one never see a poor, grouchy dyspeptic with a set of good
teeth? Poor, broken-down teeth cannot properly masticate food. If the
food Is not properly chewed the stomach has too great a burden placed upon
it, the digestion is imperfect, the entire system becomes disarranged, and
the person becomes nervous, irritable, and dyspeptic
But this is' not all. The ragged roots and the cavities in teeth harbor
putrefying food and germs which slowly but surely poison the body, causing
Tonsillitis, Rheumatism, and Heart Disease.
About 5t per rent, of school children have defective teeth. If a child
has an aching tootle or a painful gumboil do you think it possible that he
can learn his lessons or progress in school as he should? Destructive
changes in teeth start in early life, long before the child reaches an age
where he can realize the value of good teeth.
The responsibility for good teeth is thus placed upon the parent. So
the ignorant or eareless parent is to blame for this 50 per cent. of children'
who are hampered physically and mentally because of poor teeth.
Parents must learn the value of good teeth. If they have neglected
their own teeth or if their teeth have suffered from their parents neglect,
should they not try and do better by their own children? Let the parents
realize that a few dollars paid to the dentist early in life will purchase for
their children the priceless Jewels and ensure their children's health.
Where parents fall in their duty to their children the munieipality, the
school, the public health authorities, and the state should step in find.
assume the responsibility: The children are our future citizens, and upon
their individual health and efficiency depends the welfare of the nation,
Why are the (.reeks degenerated from the intellectual, athletic, an&
warlike nation of early history, to the miserable people of the present day?
Disease such as malaria is said by competent authority to be the cause.
At no fortner period in the history of the British nation was there
greater need of ensuring, the mental and physical efficiency of our people,
Nothing Is of greater importance in this regard than the care of Nature's
jewels.
Scti

hoot teachers, school medical inspectors, and school nurses eau an
School dentists matt do the rest.
The work of preserving children's teeth should be promoted as follows;
(1) Locate children with defective teeth.
(2) Notify careless and indifferent parents of existing
trouble.
(3) Provide dental attention for neglected chiidren.
These lines are not directed so much to the public health departmentei
of well-managed cities, but more particularly to the authorities of townie
and rural oommunities where knowledge of such matters stay not he ao well',
