MAKE YOUR TEETH SAVE MONEY
Your teeth probably have cost you
a lot of money. Nearly every adult
has gold, silver or other precious
metal stowed away in his teeth. Many
have had to buy their teeth outright.
Your teeth represent an invesement
a thousandfold more vnlueble than the
amount of the dentist bill. They are
your investment in health.
But what is perhaps more timely
right now is that they can be made'
big factors in cutting the cost of liv
ing.
Read what Fletcher says about
chewing food. Learn what Dr. Wiley
has written about obtaining the maxi
mum of nourishment from a given
article of diet.
You will find that you would be
able to get along on about half as
much food as you use every day if you
would chew it slowly and thoroughly.
The human body runs on its food
just as the engine runs on coal or
gasoline. If you shove coal full of
clinkers into the engine you will not
get results. The clinkers would not
burn and produce heat.
Putting unchewed material into the
human stomach is feeding it food
clinkers.
In order to be absorbed, food must
be in solution—broken into tiny bits
and suspended in digestive juices.
You protest vociferously when you
pay a dollar for steak that you think
ought to cost fifty cents. You are get
ting only half the value of your money.
But you will get nearer a dollar’s
worth of nourishment out of it if you
will only put your teeth to work.
We do everything fast. We rant
if the train is late. We rush to work
and rush through our tasks, rush home
and eat hurriedly, rush to the theater,
rush back to bed, and wind the alarm
clock so as not to be late for the
morning rush next day.
We have the national rush habit,
and nowhere will it do us more harm
than bolting what we eat.
Aside from the physical harm oc
casioned by gobbling our lunches on
the run. we cheat ourselves out of
hard-earned money.
A dollar’s worth of food, thoroughly
digested and absorbed by the tissues,
will give more strength at less tax
on the body than two dollars’ worth
improperly masticated.
Put your teeth to'work.
HOUSES AMD HOMES
America needs homes. In 1890
4S per cent of our people were home
owners; in 1910 this per cent dropped
to 45, and today it is estimated to be
only 42. Home-owning going down—
to what? To tenantry, absentee-land
lordism, to slums, that disease of so
ciety which has been raging at the
heart of the major European nations
since Watts with his steam engine
made it possible to centralize indus
try?
The stoppage of building during the
war has left us a million homes short.
That which has long been an indus
trial handicap has now become a na
tional menace. The need of houses
to stabilize the labor market may be
come a demand for homes to save a
nation. Thus it happens that the most
important thing to be said about in
dustrial housing at the present time
is to watch for a new point of vie&
in approachin git. A new vision is
needed.
