Although he has had all hi teeth removed, Mahatma Gandhi, Inda’s little 67-year- old rebel, refuses to wear false teeth, therefore lisps. “Artificial teeth,” he says, “form only another form of modern torture. If people confined themselves to whole- some liquid food, like goat’s milk, they wouldn’t need teeth.” For Many years the bizarre Hindu wore an upper set of . false teeth, but only at meal- time. Miss Madeleine Slade, his English disciple, who was custodian of the plate, has put the false ivories away on a shelf. , SIOIIIILD: | i and i 1 { imunication addressed to Messrs. | of the right of way mentioned in iw.
