(From the Reidsville Review.) I Not another drop of whiskey will be manufactured in the United States 'after one o'clock on the night of Sep tember 8. All other distilled spirits for use as beverages will cease to be manufactured at the same time. This ruling was made by the food admin istration after it had been bombarded for several days with a ceaseless flow of telegrams from distillers asking for specific Information. The food control law provided that the pro duction should cease thirty days af ter approval of the measure. The bill was approved August 10 and con sequently its provisions would go In to effect Sunday and as the internal revenue laws prevent operation of distilleries on the Sabbath a question .was raised In the minds of the dis tillers. Keep Well Do not allow the Jioisons of undigested ood to accumulate in your bowels, where they are absorbed into your system.

"The Care of the Teeth." special bulletin No. f8 ju?t issued by the State Board of Health, without minc- ng terms and without dealing with technicalities, sets forth the funda-: mentals of the prevention of teeth diseases. i "The teetli were placed at the ; gateway or inlet to the human body, to adequately provide the very first of the vital processes which go on I within the human body of converting the food we eat into muscle, bone brain and brawn." says the bulletin. "With dirty, decayed, diseased, brok en, missing teeth w e can no more ex pect to properly chew or grind our food than a miller with dirty, broken or defective millstones could be ex pected to properly grind his corn o wheat. "A well cared for mouth and se; of teeth are a mark of well being, refinement and character. A dirty vile smelling mouth is a reproach to anybody and a partial set of decayed, diseased snags and remnants or teoth are so many monuments to the owner's stupidity. Ignorance and In dolence. Bad teeth are an unneces sary evil, a sin of omission." With a simple statement of the story of the teeth and injunctions re garding their early care, the bulletin sets forth the three principal tooth disorders: Decay, tarta, and Rlgg's disease. A competent dentist, as early as the signs of the disease are recognized, Is urged asthe first es sential of providing remedy. As for prevention, the bulletin sets out the simple expedient of a tooth brush frequently used, and a semi-annual visit to a dentist for purpose of examination.
