According the the United States
Public Health Service, there will be a
falling off In the sale of false teeth lr
the future. This is due to the dis
covery of the cause and method ol
treating what is known to the scientist
as pyorrhoea dentils and alveolarls ot
Riggs’ Disease. This Is a suppuration
around the roots of the teeth and
causes an Inflamatlon which produces
loosening and loss of the teeth. At one
time or another practically everybody
has Rlgg’s Disease, which is caused
by a minute single-celled parasite
which destroys the delicate membrane
which surrounds the rootfc of the teeth
and causes them to fall out.
The necessity of good teeth in order
to have good health has heen long re
cognized, but only recently doctors
worked out the relationship between
decay of the teeth and Riggs’ disease
on the one hand, and rheumatism, and
heart disease on the other. So firmly
have these facts been proven that the
up to date physician begins the treat
ment of such diseases by an Inquiry
into the condition of the teeth and their
sockets. If these are found to be dis
eased, the condition is cured before the
treatment goes further. The discovery
of the cause of Riggs’ disease is, there
fore, of the very greatest Importance.
It has long been known that ipecac
would cure the diseases which are
caused by infection of the intestine's
with endamoebae. Prom this it was
deduced that a similar treatment would
cause the destruction of endamoebae
In the mouth. This was found to be
the case, the emetln, the form of the
drug used, is now administered by phy
sicians for the cure and prevention of
the disease. It takes considearhle time
to get rid of all" the malignant germs
In this way, but the results have been
remarkably good. The treatment Is
both local and general.
In preventing mouth disease, it is Im
portant that the mouth be cleaned
several times a day, and that a dentist
be visited frequently to remove the
tartar and the yellowish matter which
accumulates along the Inner edges of
the0teeth and between the teeth. This
Is particularly Important In the case
of children, because It has been found
that many a child is apparently dull
who is In reality suffering from a
chronic poisoning produced by a mouth
full of decaying teeth.
The number of sufferers from Riggs’
disease In the U. S. is very large and
the U. S. Public Health Service is daily
receiving inquiries as to the method of
curing and preventing the disease.
Care of the Feet.
It is a universal desire among women
to have small and shapely feet and the
methods employed to bring about this
result are responsible for the corns,
bunions and distorted joints which
adorn the feet of womankind. It is en
couraging to note that women are get
ting more sensible in the matter of
shoes and are saving themselves much
torment by buying shoes that At the
form of the foot.
Soft corns are not difficult to cure,
as they are usually the result of ex
cessive perspiration, all that 13 nec
essary, therefore, Is to absorb the mois
ture, and this is readily done by
sprinkling a bit of absorbent cotton
with powdered prepared chalk and
placing It about the corn, of course
changing the cotton each time thlo
shoes are changed, until a cure is ef
fected. For excessive perspiration of
the feet or for aching feet not due to
corns, bathe tho feet every night In
hot water in which a little washing
soda has been dissolved. After bath
ing use any of the prepared powders
that are on the market, or a home pre
paration consisting of fine corn-3tarch
way be used and will answer the pur
pose.
D. J. H. writes: “Why should an
athlete break down from nervous ex
haustion?
Because muscle work may tire the
nerves. That is why Intellectual work
ers should not engage In physical ex
ercise that is too strenuous.
P. D. P. wants a simple relief from
toothache.
Take a small quantity of mustard oil
in a bottle, and after clolsng one nos
tril inhale the fumes of the oil. The
first effect is a reddening of the face,
flow of tears and difficulty of breathing.
Within a very short time all pain in
connection with the tooth will disap
pear.
E. B. B. asks: “Why do aged people
become drowsy so easy?”
Old people are drowsy because the
amount of blood that circulates through
the brain is too small. Old people
should be permitted to drowse freely
They thereby regain their strength.
Young people who are weak and blood
less and consequently drowsy, should
cultivate fresh air and good food, avoid
constipation, and keep up perfect eli
mination by frequent bathing internal
and external, fresh fruits and veget
ables, and take pains to preserve the
general health In every possible way
Drowsiness is one of the first signs of
auto-intoxlcatlon.
A. H. R. writes: "What is a proper
diet to feed the nerves?"
All good foods that assimilate well
feed the nerves. The mineral consti
tuents of whole grains and of certain
fruits and vegetables are especially val
uable for the nerves. An all round
wholesome diet with sufficient outdoor
air to lead to perfect digestion Is the
best sort of food for building up the
nerves. It is not what you eat. as how
you digest it, that Is important.
R. F. P. wants to know why one per
son wants to become fat and another
thin, and how to accomplish either.
One of the hardest things in the ^orld
Is for a person naturally thin to be
come fat, and for a person naturally
fat to become thin. Of the two a
change is harder for the fat person.
The only thing for a thin person that
will do any good is regular hours, re
gular exercise, regular sleep, and as
much simple and nutritous food as can
be taken without indigestion.

ALASKA
NOTES
A dog poisoner got two valuable
canines at Petersburg recently.
Doctors Sloan and Romig, of Seward,
have applied for a contract to take care
of the insane people of Alaska.
The Fairbanks town council has by
ordinance reduced the price of electric
juice from 30c to 25c per kilowat hour.
Governor Strong has announced his
intention of going for a hunting trip
out in the vicinity of Seward in
October.
Seattle’s claim to be the gateway of
Alnska is persistently reiterated on
every occasion where Alaska is in for a
share of glory.
Twenty thousand dollars worth of
furs are hung up for display in the
Bank of Seward. The gerater part of
the furs came from Attu island.
Walter Capen was brought to
Petersburg recently from Kake suffer
ing from four wounds inflicted by a 32
calibre pistol in the hands of his wife.
At the head of Palmer creek, near
Seward, a man named Hersey has a
one-stamp mill crushing a ton of rock
per day, and the rock Is said to pro
duce $500 per ton in gold.
The Petersburg Commercial Club has
decided to offer prizes of $15, $10 and
$5 for the three best written atrlcles
setting forth the industries, resources,
Climatic conditions, location and gen
eral information relating to tho town
By the fire at Valdez, Colonel W. P.
Richardson has suffered losses that can
hardly be estimated. Among the papers
of his that were stored in the Road
Commission office were his commis
sions in the army al the way from the
rank of lieutenant upward.
Built at Alameda, Cal., in 1899, the
wooden steamship Bertha found its
grave on the northwest coast of Kodiak
Island, where, after striking a rock,
she was beached and consumed by Are,
together with her cargo consisting of
lumber and other material that was to
be used in the construction of a can
nery at Kogglung. No lives were lost.
She belonged to the Pacific Alaska
Navigation -Co,, the Admiral line.
The father of Mae Eldrado Edgren,
famous In gold rush days as the "Klon
dike baby," died recently in Minnesota.
In 1898, when Just graduated from
Wisconsin university, he married a
classmate, and together they sought
wealth in the great North. The mother
died in camp there, but pounds of gold
were contributed by "tho boys” with
best wishes to the baby. The wee girl
was for long the only representative of
her sex In camp.- Springfield Repub
lican.
following the expressed wish of the
j governor that a new name be given to
j the town of Anchorage "Matanuska” is
J suggested as being appropriate because
| of the geological position of the town
| 'n relaHon to the coal fields. This will
doubtless be the shipping point for
Matanuska coal and is a name well
known throughout the United States
Identifying this section of Alaska. The
town In the coal fields could be callet
"Chickaloon" and the junction eoulc
be designated "Chickaloon Junction.”—
Cool Inlet Pioneer.
The Cordova Times, which has been
nursing a grouch ever since the govern
ment railroad passed them by on the
other side, says: "Despite our desire
to be entirely fair to our sister town ot
Anchorage, and the government of
ficials who are bossing creation over
[there, ,we do feel that the sale of lots
in Alaska at the prices asked for them
by the land office, is subject to the
severest criticism. The government
of the United States Is too big a cor
poration, too important an Institution,
to play the part of land speculator and
carry It off with good grace."
