i;l MAN AND DOG HAVE
TROUBLE
Story 30
bin Uncle Joe left Mr. Man's
e he was sure-enough mad.
.. . . .. j : s
t to thirJc tnai ms aog nau
ken ud with some strange dog,
'd gone away for a whole night
i d day, leaving his things there
"thout anybody to Jook after
"sm, and that Blackie Bear had
f ne and done - all these things
dle his dog was gone. It was
S much! And then for Howler
;: tell him such a story about
"hting the bears, and coons and
' ler wild animals! Oh, it was just
J awful, and he was going to beat
Swler most to death, and after
M he was going to keep him
lined, so- be couldn't leave the
ice.'-
Uncle Joe was saying all these
ugs out loud to himself as he
at most running on his way
sk home, and Jay Bird was flying
)ng listening to him. And Jay
rd had heard enough to know
tat was going to happen to
wler, and he spread his wings
d hurried on to tell him before
icle Joe got there. He found
iwler lying in his bed on the back
ticed porch, and a big bowl that
d been licked clean. Aunt Judy
d given her poor dog a nice sick
f's dinner, and now she .was in
kitchen fixing dinner for two
ghty mad people, and it was
ing to take more dinner for them
I in was good for an awfully aore
g. So she didn't hear Jay Bird
J Howler what Uncle Joe was
ing to do to him, and to be ready
jump out as soon as the door
opened.
Then Howler began to whine and
'draper terribly, and he thought
int Judy would come and let him
t, but she didn't. She did come
t, and she patted him on the
id and said: "Poor doggie; I
ttw it hurts. I guess those
icals did nearly kill you. But
it stay in bed for a few days,
i you'll be all right"
And now here came Uncle Joe,
-Ji a great long switch that he
cut in the woods, and he was
mming the little limbs off of it,
1 he was coming mighty fast.
What are you going to do with
I It switch!" Aunt Judy asked,
m inside the lattice porch.
'Just open that door," Uncle Joe
d, "and I'll show you what i'm
Jng to do with it"
kxmt Judy opened the door, and
: Uncle Joe started in, Howler
irted out, Uncle Joe was stand-
on 'the doorstep when Howler
ne through the door. He raised
big switch and came down with
f his might on Howler's back,
1 Howler jumped between his
js and turned him bottom up
rds, so that when Uncle Joe
yne down he struck the step with
)t head, and it raised a knot about
big as a goose egg, in about a
Bute.
fowler didn't waste any time get
tg out of the yard, and when he
Biped the fence Jay Bird was
.It ahead of him, and he said:
follow me," as he flew off through
the woods towards Blackie's house.
Hound Dog had been expecting
Howler to have trouble, and so he
wasn't a bit surprise when he saw
him and Jay Bird hurrying up to
the house. Howler was all out of
breath, but he soon got rested
enough to tell Hound Dog all about
what Uncle Joe had done to him.
"Well," Hound Dog said, "we will
just charge it to him, and we will
ask Blackie how he wants it paid."
Then after they had their supper,
they went to toed.

Museum To Mark
Twain Proposed
FLORIDA, Mo. Restoration of
Florida's old landmarks, as they
were in the boyhood days of Sam
uel L. Clemens, is under consid
eration by the State Park Depart
ment. Clemens spent his child
hood here.
The extent of improvements at
Mark Twain State Park and a de
cision regarding the restoration
project depends upon funds that
may be available.
It has .been suggested that the
old Clemens home be moved to
the lot upon which it stood orig
inally and that a Mark Twain Mu
seum be constructed.
DONALD DUCK
Sugar Causes Teeth To Decay
A Ten-Year Research Discloses
CHICAGO It's the sugar you
eat that causes teeth to decay.
That's the conclusion reached
after ten years of study by Dr.
Leonard S. Fosdick of the North
western University Dental School.
Sugar taken into the mouth pro
duces an acid which, with bac
teria normally present, causes tooth
decay, he reported yesterday to
the mid-Winter meeting of the Chi
cago Dental Society.
The only method known at the
present time to control dental de
cay, which has good scientific evi
dence to support it, is to avoid the
instake of sugar into the mouth,"
he said.
Some conclusions Dr. Fosdiek
drew from the research and which
disprove many popular beliefs
about tooth decay were:
1. There is no evidence to indi
cate 'that cleaning the teeth will
stop or decrease decay.
2. There is no relation between
soft and hard teeth and tooth de
cay. 3. Eating hard - foods doesn't
prevent decay.
4. Dietary changes have no di
rect influence on the enamel,
where decay always begins.
5. Tooth decay is not a contin
uous process but an intermittent
one.
6. Calcium and phosphorus are
needed for tooth formation but
don't decrease decay.
7. Increase in decay during preg
nancy probably is due to carbo
hydrates and sugar, taken in great
er quantities because of increased
appetite. It is not due to calcium
or phosphorus defficiency.
Some persons, Dr. Fosdick said,
suffer little or no tooth decay be
cause they have aliva with a high
er acid neutralizing power, a high
er degree of supersaturation of cal
cium phosphate, a larger carbon
dioxide combining power, a larger
flow, and a greatly diminished
bacillus acidophilus count.
Ninety new industrial plants be
gan operations in North Carolina
last year and additions were made
to 129 others, the State Depart
ment of Conservation and Devel
opment reports.
Raleigh, capital of North Caro
lina, is planning to observe its
150th anniversary in 1942.
