But d of the slacker charges against his pro’ e and state- ments that Dempsey fought to ald war fund campaigns brought Kearns no reply from headquarters.

If their plan is carried out by the entire legion, a fund up to $2,000,000 could be raised for the Martin- Carpentier fight.

TRY TO GET INTO LEGION INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 7.—Efforts of nurses do- ing reconstruction work in army hospitais to ob- tain membership in the Américan Legion have 80 far proved unavailing. plying to an inquiry con- cerning the status of these nurses, Lemuel Rolles, national adjutant of the Legion, says: “Members of the Army Nurse corps were duly enlisted in the military service of the United States, and as such are eligible to membership in the American _ Legion. The so-called reconstruc- tion nurses, attached to the medical department of the army, are civilian nurses and do not come under the eligibility clause of the constitution of the American Legion.” They could only obtain membership by an amend ment which would have to be passed by two-thirds vote at a national conven- tion of the Legion.

It elected Jefferson Davis Dental decay is formed by fermen- tation of small particles of food which are permitted to remain in the crevices between the teeth. This fermentation is due to bacteria and results in the formation of acids which dissolve the lime salts of the teeth, The hard white outside coating of the teeth, known as the enamel, is first attacked. This is destroyed at spots where the food is lodged and the softer intertor substance of the tooth is exposed; this is rapidly eaten away, and a cavity is formed which increases in size until only a hollow shell of enamel remains, The nerves of the teeth are extremely sensi- tive, and severe pain or toothache is produced when dental decay extends into a tooth. An abscess or gumboll may form at the root of astooth. This causes a throbbing pain, swelling and fever. It usually breaks thru the gum, dis- charging pus, with relief of symptoms; sometimes, however, the inflammation extends to the bone, ending in ita necrosis or death. Oc- ecasionally pus organisms are ab- sorbed into the blood and blood pol- soning ensues.

Q What fs the Schick test for diphtheria? Spall I allow the school doctor to make such a test on my children? A. This consists in injecting a drop of suitably prepared diphtheria toxin into the skin of the forearm and observing whether or not a char- acteristic red apot develops within 48 hours. If it does, it shows that the child is susceptible to diphtheria. If it does not, the child cannot take diphtheria, The test is harmless and if the school dogtor is now making it, I would advise you to have your chil- dren tested Q. Can you tell me the best place in the United States for a consump- tive? A. There is no best place.
