JACK LARUE
AS SPEELER
The local dentists should hire Jack
LaRue as a speeler, for he is certain
ly enthusiastic on the subject of teeth
and their care.
Jack recently came in from the hills
where he has been prospecting this
summer in the neighborhood of Broad
Pass with good success; in fact, Jack
leaves today for Seward en route to
Cleveland, Ohio, where he goes to fin
ance his property, and says he expects
to have machinery on the ground by
next June.
Just how the subject of teeth came
up is not known, but in the general
conversation at the Crescent yesterday
afternoon Jack certainly came through
with a dessertation on the important
question of teeth, their care and im
portance, that deserves space in the
dental journals. It was noticed that
he laughed loud and long at the most
casual remarks and it seemed to the
obesrving that he was really proud of
a perfect set of upper false teeth and
chewed and spat his fine cut with evi
dent satisfaction and percision.
As usual in such conversations that
take place in hotel lobbies, the ques
tions and topics were many and var
ied, ranging from the sublime to the
ridiculous. Mining naturally came in
for its share and several took a turn
at religion. Even the absorbing topic
of the local gambling cases was
threshed out and decided, but it was
up to Jack to switch from an interest
ing account of his summer’s trip to
cuspids and molars. He started some
thing like this: “I have the false
teeth but am not blessed with grand
children and I have often thought
within the past days since I got my
store teeth what a pleasure I could
give my grandchildren. I can still see
my grandfather’s nice white teeth, all
set in pink and remember how I used
i to crowd my younger brother out of
the way when grandfather ‘took ’em
; out.’ I can truthfully say that one of
my youthful ambitions has come true,
for I now have teeth like grandfath
er s.
After LaRue got started on this sub
■ ject there was no stopping him and
he went -Oltirtp tell what a blessing,
goorl'-teeth were to humanity and how,
with just a litt|e care and attention, a
person tould always have good teeth.
He emphasized the fact, however, that
it was most important to Visit the den
tist at leant every three months for
examination and precaution against
I what lie had just gone through. Jack
failed to live up to the advice he gave
the crowd and suffered for his negli
gence. He ga\e himself as a living
example of procrastination and clever
ly told a story that comes home to
many, especially the prospector.
Jack said that it was on account of
bad teeth, caused by negligence, that
was the direct result of his losing one
of the richest placer claims in Alaska^
Continuing he said: “1 was prospecn
ing on Wisdom creek in the summeM
of 1914 and had located No. 3 below
discovery. She was panning out fair
ly well and 1 felt that at last I had
come into my own. I had my camp
ncely fixed up and everything was go
ing along smoothly when my teeth be
J gan to give me considerable trouble.
It would only have been a matter of a
few weeks for me to have gone to
Nome for attention, but like many
other men of my ilk I kept putting it
off until the pain became so intense
that I was forced to sell out for a
nominal sum and beat it to a dentist.

After being delightfully entertained |
by hitn for several days he told me:
emphatically that it would be neces-1
sary and practical for me to have my
teeth examined at least four times a
year as 1 was subject to some kind of
an unspellable disease that affects the j
teeth and gums and is common to this
country.
“I left that part of the country and
i in my two years’ wanderings finally
I landed in the Broad Pass district,
where I located some quartz property
that I believe will prove of value. I
I came down from there about a month
ago and have been stopping with
Frank Redwood here at the Crescent
ever since. I say stopping, but pos
sibly I should say sleeping, for up un
til last Friday, the day after Thanks
giving and turkey, I have been keep
ing the sidewalk hot during the better
part of the day to one of your local
dentists. And 1 want to compliment
that dentist, and will be glad to recom
mend him to my friends as a splendid
workman, in fact he is an artist in the
profession that has reached the high
est stage of science. He turned me
loose Friday and 1 immediately went
to the Frisco cafe and ordered the fin
est double porterhouse steak in the
place. I also ordered nine bowls of
soup, but only for the reason that 1
wanted to address-"‘them separately
and collectively in my own language.
I had lived on soup for nine days' and
formerly was very fond of it, but nev
er again. You know you can get aw
fully tired of such things, just the way
you people are probably getting tired
of’hearing me talk on this subject, but
ft’’islmy hobby.”
''Doctor Westermann spoke up and
asked the connection between teeth
and fortune.
■ “Oh,” said LaP.ue, “that blamed
claim, No. 3 below discovery on Wis
dom creek, later produced $675,000,
md I sold it for a mess of pottage.”

SHORT TALK
(By Dr. Benedict.)
CARE OF TEETH.
Probably no person can truthfully i
say they enjoy having work done on
their teeth, consequently many people 1
visit their dentist every six months to
have their teeth cleaned and examined
in order to discover the beginning of
decay and by having any necessary
work done early they save many hours
of suffering, both in the chair and be
fore they reach it. But that is not the
most important saving, because per
fect teeth means that you can masti
cate your food perfectly.
Each tooth on either jaw has its op
ponent on the other jaw and they'
should be so aligned that they do op
pose perfectly. The proper time to
secure this result is during the growth
of the early or deciduous teeth and
every child should be examined by a
careful dentist and any irregular teeth
should be straightened. A tooth erupt
ed and permitted to grow out of line,
is useless because it does not contact
perfectly with its opponent on the I
other jaw. Especially is this true of
the cuspids and molars, because these
are the ones that do the grinding and
pulverizing of the food and unless
food is properly pulverized it is not
properly digested. Then indigestion
follows, because there are no teeth it
the stomach or bowels.
The same thing occurs when tee'.!
are permitted to decay down to tr.c
gurus; then the opposite tooth has no
opponent and both are useless. W her
the first teeth begin to decay the>
should be filled, so they will be usefu
until they are shed and if they are in
bad condition they should be extract
ed, but they should not be extracted
too early because the second set of
teeth is laid down to develop at the
time the first teeth are shed and if the
first tooth is removed too soon the sec
ond and permanent tooth will not fol
low a straight line and may be crowd
ed to one side. The same is true if a
first set tooth remains too long, it
.will cause the growing tooth of the
second set to grow crooked. This is a
condition which should be carefully
watched.
Decaying teeth can usually be pre
vented if proper care is given the
mouth. A set of perfectly good teeth
is a source of pride to the possessor
and early use of a soft brush and
plentjr of water, plain or salt, will do
wonders. There are probably children
whose teeth seem to lack the neces
sary hardness to keep them in good
condition but they are few and they
should by all means be guided by the
advice of a dentist.
Children should be taught to use a
brush after every meal and to use it
correctly. Do not brush the teeth
crosswise but lengthwise, rotating the
bnish, which brings the bristles into
the space between the teeth. Salt
water alone will be all that is neces
sairy or if you want to uso a^'pow*
der, use prepared chalk—^this ^Ill rto
all that any tooth powder or >m paste
will do and is perfectly harmless.
Toothpicks should be unnecessary ex
cept for the removal of persistent par
ticles of meat, and should be of soft
wood. Hardwood splinters too easily;
never use pins or other metal, as
scratching of the enamel leads to de
cay. Dental floss is the proper thing
to use and can be obtained of any den
