FEBRUARY VEAAGE_ HIG_ll__ PUT FESTIVAL RUSHIORKON FOR BAD TEETH SEATS ON SALE SEWAGE ·PLANT Dentiata Fin~ Various Types Reserve 2,200 Seata for North of Infection Prevalent · Shore Event Of 600 apparently healthy men examined for tooth and mouth infection, seventy-eight per cent had one type of infection or another, and fifty-three per cent had parts of the ' bone along the sides of the roots of their teeth destr~y ed by the infective process known as pyorrhea,-this was one of the pertinent Statements of Dr. Arthur D. Black, dean of Northwestern University Dental school. in a recent radio talk. Dean Black's topic was "Dentistry and Health" and his keynote was that from early childhood the teeth of every person should be carefully inspected and properly treated by expert dentists. "In Chicago," continued Dean Black, "500,000 children in the public and parochial schools have about 31h million cavities. If not cared for, each decay progresses Wltil the pulp, or nerve is exposed, when the tooth must be extracted, or treated. Extraction may result in separation of other teeth, inflammations of the gums, and eventually pyorrhea. Treatment may result in infection in the bone about the end of the root. Common D efect "Six thousand X-ray pictures taken a few years ago of the mouths of 600 adults who were apparently in good health, average age 22, showed over l.500 treated teeth, and an average of Slh teeth missing per person. Allowing for a few who never had wisdom teeth, we might say that an average of four teeth per person had been extracted because of neglect of cavities of decay. "A careful examination was made in 1912 of the mouths of the children then in the sixth grade, who had no mouth hygiene training. In 1918. a similar examination was made of the sixth-graders who had this training for six years. A comparison showed that the number of cavities had been reduced by more than fifty per cent. The dental problem of this city (Bridgeport, Conn.) had been cut in one-half, and what is equally important the health department report showed a tremendous reduction in the communicable diseases of children for this period. For example, the death rate for diphtheria had been reduced 50 per cent, measles 75 per cent and scarlet fever. 96 per .-<::ent. This indi<;ates the importance of all children in a school having clean mouths." Command R eaea rcb Work Dr. Black commended tlte research work, now going on, as to proper diet as a preventative of tooth decay. The Research Commission of the American Dental association is spending about $25.000 a year and recently the Carnegie Foundation, he said, had made a grant of $85,000 for dental research of one special subject. He advised every one not to wait until the tooth aches and then go to a dentist-like Andy Gumphut to have his teeth examined at regular intervals each year. Seats are now open to new course subscribers for the Chicago North Shore Music festival to be held at Northwestern university gymnasium from May 26 to 31, Carl D. Kinsey, business manager, has announced. Practically three-fourths have been sold to last year's subscribers. There. will be six. concerts during the festtval season, when such artists as Mme.
