S3E ^Eri»--THEIR PRESERVATION Infancy to Three Years of Age > The first deciduous dt baby tooth is the CENTRAL INCISOR which appears in the front part of the mouth about six months after birth. From this time then, until the child reaches the age of two and one-half to three years all the baby teeth have erupted. They are twenty in number--ten in the lower jaw and ten in the upper jaw. Between.the apes of three and! six no more teeth will erupt, but during this time, the permanent teeth' are developing beneath the deciduous j or baby teeth, and each baby tooth, should be preserved until the proper time for it to be "shed," as they are of vital importance to the proper d,e-| velopment of the jaws and the posi-j tions which the permanent teeth will! occupy. | Six Years of Age -- First Permanent | Six-Year Molars | When the child reaches the age ofj six, the school age, there is something taking place that is of the utmost jm- j portance to the future development of the child's mouth. That is the eruption or coming through the gums of the* fvrst permanent or six-year molars. There are four of these molars--two in the upper jaw and two in the lower jaw. They come in, directly back of the baby set of teeth and DO NOT REPLACE ANY BABY TEETH. The development and preservation of these four six-year molars is of very great Vfiiportance for several reasons. First: They are the first of the* permanent teeth to take their pos- < ition'in the child's mouth. . " Second: The position of the sixyear molars will determine the ~ "position of all succeeding perman- 'y "(iyit teeth and therefore are an im- , , portant factor in regulating the j ' lerigth and width of the jaws. y Third: The length of the six-".-- • yeaV molar crowns determines the separation of the jaws. It can be said, then, that these four six-year molars are the "CORNER POSTS" or "FOUNDATION" for the permanent teeth and jaws and should be preserved for a lifjetime.pj Seven Years of Age ; J v Second Permanent Tooth The next permanent tooth erupts or comes through the gums about the age of seven in the front part of the mouth. From this time until the child reaches the age of 14 to 16 all the permanent teeth are rapidly replacing baby teeth. This is NATURE'S plan, but there are diseases of the teeth and gums that might interfere with this plan. One of the most common prevalent is that of DENTAL CARRIES or DECAY. "We cannot consider a child'in perfect health, unless the mouth is in a healthy condition." With these facts in mind, then, how are we going to help nature and how can we pre vent-diseases from attacking our teeth? There is no one positive cure, but a few health practices will help to prevent these diseases. Watch next week's Plaindealer iFor the concluding chapter of this series. A. JOANNE RUUEN, School Nufse.

It is the great healer. It allows our bodies to recover from the fatigue of the day's activities. The average healthy adult spends about one-third of his life in slec$>. For example, a fortyyear- old person who is in the habit of sleeping eight hours a night will, if he lives to be seventy, sleep for 10 of the 30 years of life leffc to him. Far from being a waste of time, those 10 years spent in sleep will make possible what he does during the "20 years he is awake. Loss of sleep for a night or two can be made up, but too little sleep night after night will undermine the health of a rugged person and turn a cheerful individual into a cross, irritable one. Sleep is so essential to life and the restoration of tissues that, if we are kept awake over too long a period we can literally "go to sleep standing up." Children must have the proper amount of sleep in order to grow at* ia normal ratfe. During normal, healty sleep, vital activities are reduced or slowed down. At this time the body is especially free not only to mend worn-out tissues but to build new ones. This building of new tissues is called growing. If a child is to grow properly, he must have adequate sleep. , < Why Barbados Molasses Has Rum Flavor, Puzzle The delightful, if you like it, rum flavor of Barbados molasses has been the principal reason why this type of molasses commands a high price in the market. Just why the Barbados product should have 4his peculiarity has been a matter of considerable study by Department of Agriculture scientists. They have found out the secret and are preparing to apply their discoveries to the domestic product in order that it may compete with the Barbados. After it arrives in this country, Barbados "molasses" is stored or "cured" for some months. During this time several reactions occur. First there is a yeast fermentation which produces a small amount of alcohol, after which a bacterial fermentation takes place which develops the rum flavor. Scientists in the bureau of chemistry and soils have identified the yeasts and bacteria which cause these reactions and found that they produce the same flavor in domestic cane syrup. It is believed that t.he development of this flavor in domestic cane syrups will increase the demand for such products. The flavor is retained in baked products and" confections made from the syrups. Why It Is a "Yale" Lock ®e name "Yale" lock comes from Linus Yale, a lockmaker, who was born at Middletown, Conn., in 1797, and reared in-'Herkimer county, New York. In 1847 Yale put up a stone building at Newport, N. Y., which is known as the Yale Lock shop. He had a son, Linus Yale, Jr., who also became a lockmaker. In 1868 Linus Yale, Jr., and Henry Towne organized a corporation to manufacture locks at Stamford, Conn. Yale, however, died a few months later, before the enterprise really got under way. The company was at first known as "The Yale Lock Manufacturing Company." In 1883 the name was changed to "Tbe Yale and Towne Manufacturing company." Why Word "Oyes" Is Used The worn! "oyer" as used by a crier in court is defined as hear ye; hear, or attend; and is used by criers «< courts to obtain silence before a proclamation. It is usually repeated three times. It is pronounced o-yes, the o as in the word old the « as in end, accent on both syllables. Why Tears Aid the Eye The real object of blinking is to give the eyeball a wash and rid it of amy dust or other irritating particles. Every time we blink the fluid that we call tears is set free from its little home in a gland and so allowed to pour over the front of the eyes. Why Fresh Air Heats Quickly Fresh air heats more quickly than stale air because the fresh airthat is, air containing a large percentage of oxygen--has a higher thermal conductivity than carbon dioxide, which forms a large proportion of stale air. : - A Why "Pop" Is So Calls* Certain sweet, non - intoxicating drinks containing carbon dioxide were named "pop" because when the bottles were opened the corks were expelled with a pop or quick, explosive noise. The original was "soda pop." Why Barns fiave Imitation Windows The custom of painting imitation windows on barns was brought to the United States from Europe. It wap started there in order to avoid window tax and at the same time to .give an appearance of affluence. Why Forsythia Is So Called The ornamental shrub Forsythia is named for Forsyth, a British botanist. Odd Decorations for AHrn In Tibet many altars are decorated with castoff objects, such as old Christmas tree tinsel, camera-film rolls, broken rat traps, burnedout electric-light bulbs, and empty beer bottles and tin cans. FARM TOPICS HUMOR BJRDS FOR POULTRY PROFITS Catering to Hens' Whims Is Found Good Plan. - Japan's Giant Spider CflUl v The giant spider crab of Japan may be 11 feet from tip to tip of its claws. The body of the spider craTi may be 18 inches long £6d fi laSS# wide. By K. R, Alp. Poultry Extension Specialist. University of Illinois--WNU Service. It will pay poultry producers to learn how hens behave like human beings. Whims in poultry behavior can be noticed in fowls just as easily as they can be in human beings, and in many cases they are likely to be similar. Although there is a difference of opinion as to whether .hum an whims should be catered to, the successful poultryman knows that for good egg production, poultry whims can not be overlooked. For instance, putting fresh feed in a feed hopper fpr poultry "works just about the same as putting fresh bread on the table for the family meal--it usually results in increased consumption. A feeder which requires frequent filling is a distinct advantage, since the frequent filling encourages egg production. Just as humans dislike water that has been heavily chlorinated, so hens will turn up their noses at water which has been polluted with some pill or powder. Such a practice is likely to result in low.water consumption and low egg production. The more Appetizing the water, the greater will be its probable effect on. egg production. When it is cold it will pay to keep water warm as well as clean. To many people a dessert makes a meal complete and often helps to make up for any shortcomings of the main course. Judging by their reactions to a moist mash feeding once a day, poultry would agree that such a feeding serves them well as a dessert. Many flock owners resort to moist feeding as a means of feeding some of the vitamin and mineral concentrates such as codliver oil, sardine oil and milk products. Hens also react favorably to clean surroundings. When clean litter is substituted for dirty litter, there is much singing and scratching which helps increase egg production. 8&OCUM*8 LAKE Chesney Brooks and Miss Orissa Brown of Waaconda were dinner guests Sunday with Mrs. Meta Coss and daughter, Althea, at thp Ben Ran home at Crystal Lake.

ALfflOFF HOWL West McHenry $6,000 Invested In Tools and Equipment For Each Job Electric Farm Fence Is Regarded as Dangerous It is extremely dangerous for anyone unfamiliar with the principles of electricity to experiment with the electric fence, says Harry L. Garver, investigator in rural electrification at Washington State college. Electric fences operated by storage batteries and properly constructed by expert electricians will give safe service. But it is never advisable for the amateur to attempt to build his own equipment, Garvtr says. In all probability, it would not meet safety approval, thereby making the owner liable for any damage that might be done by it, he added. While it is possible to build electric fences that are connected with the home wiring circuit, this practice is not encouraged; there is too much danger of unskilled persons making the wrong connection and sending the full Charge through the fence. It is believed advisable to post warning signs on all electric fences. Nests for R. I. Reds A nest for a Rhode Island Red hen should be from 12 to 15 inches square and about 12 inches high. One nest of this type must be provided tor every four or five hens in the flock. The dark front nest with an entrance from the rear is coming into general use. It avoids egg eating and losses from pickouts. The "community type" of nest is a favorite with many poultrymen. It has the same general construction but is built without partitions dividing it into individual nests. This nest may be six or eight feet in length with a four-inch board in front to retain the litter.

Stage a continual pick-up of wire, nails, etc. Do not mend stanchions with wire. If a nail is missed while making a repair about the feed alley, find it. Outlaw the steel brush around the feed department. Feeding the Hens The feed for hens depends upon several factors. First, the development of the bird; second, the rate of production; third, the condition of the house in which the birds are kept, and fourth the amount of mash the birds consume daily.
