THE CARE OF TEETH Was Subject of Dr. Roy Archbold’s Hygiene Talk to High School. IT WAS ILLUSTRATED With Seventy-five Stereoptican Views—Was Very Instructive. * ___ The hygiene of the teeth was thoroughly discussed before the high' school students this morning by Dr. Roy Archbold. This was one of the regular Friday morning hygiene lectures, but on account of the dark and' gloomy weather, it was decided to have it this morning. This was done because of the fact that the lecture' was illustrated with stereopticon views, the gloomy weather being favorable to this. There were seventyfive fine views, and these were used with the Masonic lantern, in charge of C. R. Dunn, operator. The lecture was a very practical one and instructive, giving the students an insight into this very important part of our make-up, and upon which so much of the general health of the body depends. Dr. Archbold will also give this lecture before the Methodist Brotherhood, as announced before. o WANTED—A good reliable party to take the agency for Mitchell and Krit cars.
