Feed the Teeth:
We have •long had` the idea, that
the' adult teeth . were . finished pro-
ducts, and ,all, that we could do; . to:
keep them healthy,,' was ' to . keep
• them clean. People . who keep their
teethscrupulously clean sometimes
• develop tooth decay or pyorrligee
which ghosted that Tceeping the teeth•
clean was not enough. 'Experiments
have shown in 'the. ;lest few years
that -.diet had an effect on -the con-
ditions of ' other parts of the body:
'and • it was reasonable to suppose
that diet might affect the -teeth. Such
is the case. • •'
Teeth are very .largely composed
of lime (calcium)',.' and in the grow-
ing; period ' which .last from 'before
the !child' is born until Mout 'the.
twenty-first year, calcium is ' very
necessary. This is found-'i:n milk and

OP GENERAL APPLICATION
A townsman hi.. Ontario
recently wrote to the Ontario Agri
cultural College asking whether the
Provinctial "born Borer Act had any
application in cities, towns and vil-
lages. Professor Caesar, who is in
charge of the enforcement of the act
'replied .emphatically • as follows:
":growers of small plots . of torn in
t 'villages, town '. and •cities must 're-
member.that the act applies -to .them
'just as much as to the .farmers, and
that sometimes ' their • corn is more
heavily infested than the corn on
the , farms. All corn stalks on these
plots and all coarse, alongside
them must be gathered' and burned
as soon as they are dry • and the
ground • then spaded. or plowed."
• WALKERTON '
Last Thursday night Chief • Fergu-
son observed a car with but one head
'light burning. This touring auto was
curtained in. The officer ordered the.
driver to "open• up" and identify him-
self. 'Earl Peglo, .of Hanover, com-
plied. With him were two girls. When
asked if he had a driver's operating
permit• he replied in, the affirmative,
but stated that `he had left it ,at home.
However, the incident did . not end
there, for when, on Tuesday, he •ap-
peared• before Magistrate Waikee,
here, accessed of driving'a car when
not in, possession of the necessary
authority, he pleaded guilty, and ad-
mitted to. the cou'rt that he never had
such a permit: Peglo was taxed to. the
extent of $10 end -costs,-Telescope.

FLOWERS BENEFICIAL.
, ' IN ROOMS. OF SICK
',That flowers flowers are beneficial rather
than harmful . in hospital and other
sleeping rooms, is ' embodied in a
statement issued by the Department
of Agriculture, referring to the prace
tice of removing flowers .at • night.
The belief that plants should be
removed • from ' sleeping rooms j let
night is a ;tiisely, without foundation
says the director of scientific work
in the Department of Agriculture. In
many hospitals • it is the regular'
practice_to remove. flowers and plants
from. the rooms at night, .because it
is thought that they are in some way
injurious to the • patients.: . '
Instead of plants •being+ 'harmful
'they' are beneficial.; During the day
they give . off oxygen and moisture
rand take up carbon dioxide. At night
these processes slow down and small
amounts of carbon dioxide . are given
off, but a whole greenhouse full . of.
plants would not give off enough
'n' bon dioxide , to iniurioasl.y afi'ert.

The only occasion for reinovin•
plants and' • flowers from 'sleeping
rooms is in the case of poisonous
plants and in cases of people who

Said, as he flipped his tail:
"To try and live .to' great old age

Unless one watched his diet from
The day that he was hatch.ed.'•
And never ate a tempting bate
That had a string- attaehed1..
.M'y 'father • said when I was ivoun :
`Beware of tempting bate; •
`Tis better far to pass it by '
'And let your hunger Wait'
Than •try to beat the unseen hand
With whom your wits are matched.
