ALLEN GRIFFITH DISCOLORED TEETH Pleated Sleeve Gives Striking New Effect FATTERlf sna T EETH are never pure white. A negro’s teeth look white because of the contrast with hls dark skin. Most teeth . are a blending of yellow and blue. The enamel and dentine are both seml-translucent, the dentine carrying the underlying color, which is more or less yellow. Discoloration of the teeth is usual ly- due to deposits on the outer sur face, to fillings ot to drugs to treat teeth. Deposits that form on the outer surfaces, of teeth are due to the for mation of mucin plaques which be- Thls class of stains Is due entirely to failure to keep the tooth surfaces clean. In certain parts of the country, many of the children have badly spot ted teeth and discolored enamel This is due to the mineral content of the water. i ■ Where the enamel Is broken or worn away so the dentine Is exposed It Is very easily discolored. When the front teeth erupt their cutting edges have three serrations which wear away as the teeth are used^Thls wear Increa with age and finally, in many in stances, the enamel Is worn through. Discoloration then Is easy. Many to bacco users’ teeth finally become very dark as the stain penetrates through the tiny canals which radiate all through the dentine. Women who smoke will find their front teeth grow- ing disgustingly unsightly as they grow older. Pitted teeth are also a source of discoloration. Pits In teeth are usual ly due to childhood diseases, such as measles, scarlet fever, etc. Any Illness that interferes with the nutrition for a short period of time may cans? pits In the tqeth.

The pits are a secondary result,' due to the fact that all the poweite of the system are concentrated on combating the disease and its effects, during the period when the teeth are forming. Pitted teeth decay rapidly because they afford a lodging place for the fermentation of food. They are usually treated by filling which Is necessary after decay starts. Many of these cases can be treated by polishing. The enamel can be polished down until the surface Is smooth, which prevents de cay, and removes and prevents a re turn of the discoloration. • • •- _ CITY VS.

In spite of the smoky at mosphere of the city, while 3.7 per cent of country children have an af fection of the lungs. The proportion runs just about four to one against the rural youngsters. This list could be carried on In definitely. To what Is this condition due? It can only be^due to one thing. The city child gets better medical and dental attention than the country child. No one can go through our country districts without' noticing the dirty, unkempt mouths of most people. They seldom visit a dentist except io have a tooth extracted' Bad teeth are acknowledged to have • direct bearing on the health, and teeth without doubt play_j.n_Lmportant part In the poor showing of the coun try child. The army draft In the late war dis closed the fact that the city boy has far better teeth and la more perfect physically than the boy from the rural dlstrlcta. The city Ley has a far better opportunity to come In contact with the dentist and learns to take care of Lis teeth and keep them In a high state of efficiency. In most of our city schools there Is some sort of fctrtal examinations of the children, while ' only a few states make any' attempt to care for the teeth of the children In country acheols. The draft In the late war also showed that a large per cent of the physical/ defects of our boys are remediable, and they were remedied wherever possible. Is this not the best possible argument for military training? Would It hot be far better to draft our young-men who are out of work now and put them In the army where they would receive proper medical and dental care than to keep them In Idleneaa on a dole? ft -Waatara Wwaaaw Ualo*. “I don't know,”, answered Cactu ^06,—“We're doin' our hest.
