A LOCAL DEPARTMENT ALSO OF GENERAL INTEREST IX 



(Continued from page VIII) 

 Naturally this is the portion of the 

 work that she likes best for she is 

 thoroughly a woman and the building 

 of pretty things appeals to her most. 



The human side of business has not 

 been neglected by Miss Manton. In 

 fact she has not grown hard or stern 

 as most people are wont to picture 

 business women. She has always been 

 kind and considerate to those in her 

 employ and all who have helped her 

 are now sharing in her success in some 

 way or another. She has made a close 

 friend of every one of her employees 

 and some have remained by her side for 

 longer than two decades and they now 

 assert that she is the best and truest 

 friend that they have in the world. 



It is significant that early in her 

 business-building Migs Manton se- 

 lected electricity to do her work. In 

 the Newark factory electricity is used 

 to operate practically all the machin- 

 ery, including big printing presses, 

 wood-cutting machinery (used to 

 build pattern racks) pattern-cutters, 

 and a host of other appliances. Fifty 

 thousand square feet of floor space is 

 occupied by this big manufacturing in- 

 stitution, and the entire area is illum- 

 inated by electricty. 



In all about twenty-five motors are 

 employed in Miss Manton's factory. 

 These range from a half horse-power 

 to twenty and twenty-five horse-power. 

 The central station serves this factory 

 for all of its night work and a great 

 deal of its day load as well, for when 

 the factory is working up to top speed 

 the electric service must be absolutely 

 dependable in every sense of the word, 

 and this dependability can only thus be 

 secured. 



Talks on Teeth. 



BY DR. D. KATZ, STAMF'ORD, CONNECTICUT. 



We often hear a mother say that it 

 is useless to fill children's teeth, and 

 that she would rather have her child's 

 tooth extracted. Those mothers do not 

 know that early extraction of teeth, be 

 they temporary or permanent, will in- 

 jure the child. 



Often the six year molars, which are 

 permanent, are mistaken for tempor- 

 ary teeth and are neglected, finally be- 

 ing extracted, thereby causing abnor- 



mal occlusion of the teeth and irregu- 

 larities, for the correction of which 

 money must be spent, and the patient 

 subjected to many unpleasant opera- 

 tions. I will speak about this part of 

 dentistry in another article. 



For this reason, many cities and 

 towns have dental clinics in the schools 

 so as to save the children from the 

 evils which come to their mouths and 

 later into their general system, because 

 their parents have neglected to look 

 after such cases. It would be fortunate 

 if all towns and cities had such an ar- 

 rangement. 



Decayed teeth impair the general 

 health. Decayed teeth not only give 

 ofif millions of germs that are swallow- 

 ed and poison the digestive tract, but 

 they prevent the proper mastication of 

 the food, which thus fails to afiford full 

 nourishment to the body. Such teeth 

 increase unnecessarily the work of the 

 digestive system, and the result is dys- 

 pepsia. 



So much for the injury to health that 

 decayed teeth produce. The least ob- 

 servation will prove that a great part 

 of your success, whether in the busi- 

 ness or in the social world, depends on 

 your appearance. While you give much 

 of your time to your outer apparel, do 

 not begrudge your inner apparel. No 

 amount of raiment will change the fac- 

 ial expression, the smile displaying 

 stained or decaying teeth, the mouth 

 pufifing out ofifensive breath, sunken 

 cheeks indicating missing teeth. 



Decayed or missing teeth prevent 

 thorough mastication and poison the 

 digestive tract, and that, in time, ruins 

 your health. Without good health 

 there is absence of good appearance 

 and presence of poor energy. Without 

 appearance and without energy, can a 

 person be successful? 



Ahvays keep your mouth in good 

 condition. How can you do it? On 

 this part of the subject there is an 

 abundance of advice to be given to the 

 general public. In the next article I 

 will speak about this. 



Flowery are the realms of Nature, 

 Scented are her wooded aisles, 



Come and share with her your leisure, 

 Let her fill your day with smiles. 



— Emma Peirce.
