Danny Meadow Mouse
crept Into the little hole In
the bank of the Smiling Pool his
heart was beating so fast that It
didn't seem toihlm be would be able
to move again for a long time. You
see, crossing tbe Smiling Pool was
a long swim for such a little fellow
as Danny Meadow Mouse. He had
not been In the water for a long
time before, and so of course swim'
tt Was the Head of Snapper, the Big
Snapping Turtle. ,
mlng tired hln much more than It
would have done had he been In the
habit of swimming every day. It
wouldn't have been so bad If he
hadn't been obliged to swim Just as
fast as he possibly could. , As It
was, tbe Big Pickerel who lived in
the Smiling Pool bad almost caught
him. So between bis terrible fright
and his bard work Danny was quite
, used up.
He laid down, and for a; while
Just panted and panted, and all the
. time wished that he bad stayed at
- home where he belonged on the
other side of the Smiling Pool. By
and by his heart stopped beating
so fast, and he didn't have to pant
so to get his breath. Too know, tbe
little people -of the Green Forest
and tbe Green Meadow recover very
.quickly from fright and weariness.
This Is a wise provision of Old
Mother Nature. If It were not so
they would not be prepared to meet
unexpected new dangers. 1 v-, .

fore Danny once more felt quits
like himself; He crept to the en

wanted to see If Beddy Fox was

The Smiling. Pool, was' as calm
and peaceful and lovely as If no
such thing as danger was ever
known there. Over on tbe other
bank Danny; could see Reddy Fox.
It was evident that Beddy bad not

down Into the water and bis heart
gave ' a little Jump. . Half hidden

A'l dioiila realiy was discovered
on I - -tr 11, 1844, by Horace
Wti.u, a d nthit of Hartford, Conn.,
v.lien he o.Tarcd' himself as sy pos
sible nifinyr ta sulterlng humanity,
by inhaling citrous oxide end hav
ing a tooth extracted. In January,
1&5, Doctor Wells took his discov
ery to Boston and operated before
the medical college. . He was ridi
culed and pronounced a fraud. Tbe
wise men of Boston pointed the
finger of mockery snd cried "hum
tug," determined to break upon
the rocks of derision any man from
the. country, who supposed the "wise
men of the city-ridiculous enough
.to believe' his story.1 r.,;w.!iv-:;::-'i''
Dentists In their eagerness to re
lieve human suffering and pain, have
. for years successfully used local an
esthetics such as cocaln and novo
cain. ; In later years .they have de
veloped the use of a : combination
of nitrous oxide end oxygen, the
safest ' general anesthetic . known
The death rate; from nitrous: oxide
and oxygen Is estimated at one in a
million, against ne in thirty thou
sand in ether.:'; 'vi'?r?y:x':--
JJentlstry's latest gift to suffering
mankind Is conductive anesthesia or
nerve blocking, , by which the area
controlled by a nerve is rendered
insensible , to pain. . Surgery is now
able to perform major, "operations
such as laparotomies' and amputa
tions by Injecting the nerve trunks,
with novocain. What ' would-be
man's fear and dread of dental, and
surgical operations without the gra
cious sleep of snesthesia? ' " .
Through anesthesia, dentistry has
given to humanity one of Its great
est boons, and it Is hard to conceive
that in the past tew years, bills
have been Introduced In some " of
our state legislatures to prevent'

Do yon see a clean, healthy mouth

tjpethJ :r"; tt 1 ,:"ii '". 1 f
una1 mucous membrane . of. - the
mouth is highly resistant to the in
vasion of bacteria; if this were not
true, we would all be in constant
trouble from mouth Infections, for It
is easy to Remonstrate that every
mouth in any civilized community
contains a great variety of bacteria,
most of them . of highly, .virulent
straIns.'J.:.:'i.:,:w.-yv,::'f,'V ATjiffy,-
Daring the past few years it has
been the practice to remove the ton
sils, but to overlook their" source of
infection the teeth.-:-Let us see
how the tonsils become infected.
The substance of healthy tonsils
is composed of small aodales . of
lymphatic tissues arranged ;lin
groups of 12 to 18 crypts and con
nective tissue, blood vessels and a
for nerve fibers.; Front the crypts
numerous follicles branch out into
tbe substance . of : the tonsil . by
means of irregular channels. -
While well protected from the out
side, yet, because of their peculiar
construction - and the y. numerous
lymphatic, plexuses and crypts, they
are Ideal incubators for micro-organisms
that may dace succeed in
penetrating the , lymph : channels.
The lymphatic vessels of the gums
terminate ' tn tbe ' snbmaxilary
glands. Tbe lymphatic vessels lead
ing from the. plexuses surrounding
(he tonsllar crypts also pass to the
submaxllary ; glands. It is there-
Tore readily seen that bacteria qay
pass almost directly 'from , the gum
margins to the tonsils. . . ' .::;;
uacteria... passing, into ine lympn
channels may easily pass on to the
tonsils and be enormously multi
plied, both In number and. virulence,
and be passed through the submax
llary glands to the. deep cervical
glands, and finally on to other parts
of tbe body without the surface of
the tonsil even being disturbed. This
Is why the removal of the topslla,
while Immediately helpful, does not
always remove the source of the
trouble. The same condition still
remains, and operation after, opera
tion frequently succeed each other
as the lowered ' resistance of some
other point causes It to become in
fected. ",' ''.'. ::'';i;Vl'''
If the teeth are properly cared
for first, and the Crypts of the ton
sils carefully cleaned out, the ton
sils may; frequently be saved. .In
any event the teeth should be the
first consideration, for In treating
diseases resulting from focal Infec
tion the original point of Infection
must be eradicated. -
