I’EWER MARRIAGES—WFIT T
The time has new cane for all

has discovered that there were 45.-

formerl in the United States last

Forty- live thousand fewer mar-

of the children? “but of our na-
tional institutions? What of the Pi-

Well. perhaps it isn't as bad as it
looks. For. when you look into lnat.
tors. our country isu‘. really going
to the dogs. We Americans are
probably better people now than we
have ever been in our history. May-
be this Census Bu:~ . -- report has its
brighter side.
The Census Bureau doesn't have
any figures about the ages at which
people are getting married nowa-
days: but it is to be suspected that
if it did. one would find that the
average couple is waiting Just a lit.

Now that may be the reason fen.
this decrease in marriages.‘ But at
all events you can rest assured that
it isn't because of any increase in
free love. or any sudden growth of
selfishness on the part of our yoprlg
people. or any other of the numerous
reasons that the grcybeards will put
forw'md.
Jls ,it matter of fact its a good

For most of the people who are
agitated over what they term our
"divorce evil" have tackled the mat—
ter wrong end to. They have for-
gotten that the time to apply cor.
rsctlve measures is before the mar-
riage takes place, instead of after
husband and wife have ceased to
care for each other. .
Unfortunately. it isn't
that all of this decrease in marriages
last year was‘due to a. growing cau-
tion on the part of prospective life~
partners. But it is highly probable
that :1. large share of it was. '

And it's more than possible that

eration. The reason we have so
many divorces is' chiefly the fact
that too few people have taken time
to think before they got married.

That's why one can draw hope
from the Census Bureau‘s figures.

that the time to avoid divorce is

Bacteria Gets Into Body Through Teeth

bacteria 'ili enter the softer tooth
structure remain the enamel.
This soft tooth structure is known
as the dentlne. The domino sur-
rounds the cclltcr of the tooth
which contains the soft pulp and
when once the enamel rods are bro-
ken the delttlne is dissolved rapidly
until the bacteria reaches the pulp
where it sets up all inflammation
which eventually causes the death
of the pulp.
The pulp of a tooth is a very do-
licnte structure containing the blood
supply and the nerves which feed
the tooth and give it its life. When
the pulp decays the bacteria live on
the dead tissue and gradually work
their way down the center of the
root or root canal where the live
pulp has been. Finally they reach
the small opening at this and of the
root‘where the blood vessels and
the tooth and pass on
through i": small opening into the
surrounding tissue,
No more favorable conditions for
the development of bacteria could
he had and when you realize the
fact that it is possible for some
forms of bacteria to’ develop from
one to more than fifteen million ill
the space of twenty four hours you
can readily see that quite a family
many develop in u very short lime.
The poisonous substances manu-
factured by the millions of bacteria
do not stay in the confined area.
,but enter the blood stream and are
carried to all parts. of the body.
Now the battle really begins and un-
deni'avorublo conditions the natural

are to cold or dampness. grippo. or
other debilitating diseases. it may be
impossible for the time being to
fight the battle successfully and the
bacteria may enter the blood stream
and travel over the whole body.
These bacteria may find a more
desirable place to live than on the
roots of the tooth. They may lodge
in the valves or in the lining of the
heart or in the kidneys and cause
serious trouble or perhaps death.
Many times they make their home
in the joints ot‘ the hands. feet. and
knees and cause rheumatism.
By no means are all the infections
in different parts of the body caus-
(-d by disease teeth, but a consider-
able number of them are and when
we consider that. diseased tooth are
so common and that the majority of
the people neglect their teeth. sla-
ilstlcs showing that 90 per cent of
lilo people have decayed teeth. it
seems foolish to run chances of such
serious trouble because of conditions
that could lluvu been prevented so
easily.
An aching tooth is a very common
ailment but it will become less com-
mon as people begin to realize that
o’wthaclle is the danger signal the
do loan; pulp of, the. tooth sends out
to Jvnrn us that bacteria are pro-
gressing toward it. and will soon ge-
slroy it.
It. is much safer to be censtanily
on the lookout for dental decay. to
remember always that it. clean tooth
never decays and to do our utmost
to lump our mouth. the gateways
. to our bodies. in a clean and whole-
sor/ condition.
