No. 13. Help Prevent Disease ID you ever wonder why you do not have good health? Did it ever occur to you- that elean' food put in an unclean mouth poisons that food, and when it enters the stomach it is in a con-, dition unfit for digestion? And yet, because you cannot see it in your mouth you go on neglecting it until ton late, and you a r e obliged to seek treatment for an ailment which yos could h a v e avoided by "ean ounee of prevestion." It is a. well - established fact that hereditary -inflnences affect the offspring. Improper food in infancy is one of the most prolifip sources of lgack of vitality and p r o p e r development, and this is espeoialy'ti'ue of t h e teeth. If y o u n g children are given food deficient in lime salts their teeth will be. soft, and will be less powerful to resist decay. Our teeth, with ordinary care, s h o u l d last a lifetime. Man should die of dld age rather than from some preventable disease at a premature age.
