TRAPPING STILL SUCCESSFUL
Despite the fact there is more
natural food for deer In South,
west Tcxns than there has been
for many winters, trapping of deer
by the Texas Game Department
by use of new, individual traps
continues to be successful. The
first three weeks of trapping
brought 151 deer into the traps.
They are transported to areas suitable for raising deer, but from
which they have been shot out.
tThe new traps, of which the
Game Department will soon put
all Its 122 in operation, catch one
deer at a time. However, the bucks

the supply Is too large for the food
available, do not injure themselves

baited with cottonseed cakes and
apples, which deer consider great
aeucacies.

CHURCH OF CHRIST
J. G. Malphurs, Minister
One of the greatest mysteries in
the book of Revelation is the
mark, or the number, tof the boast
of the thirteenth chapter. It likely has received more anxious study
from various scholars than any
other part of this symbolical book.
By our Lord putting the name
of man In symbolic language, rather than in actual spelling with
letters, Ho doubtlessly saved the
persecution.
church from some
Since the message of Revelation is
addressed to the church and for
the servants of Lord (Ch.
),
it is up to them to make a study
of the symbols and to interpret
the number of the beast. That the
Lord expected at least a few of
the saints to be able to find the
number of the beast, and to inform
others, is clearly implied in the
18th verse of this 13th chapter:
"Here is wisdom. He that hath
understanding, let him count the
number of the beast". "The Num
ber of the Beast" will be our
subject for the. evening hour, 7:15
Come and help us count his
number, 660, and find what name
In history should be given to the
beast.

word Itself is a
sufficlqntly formidable to frighten us, and the disease It represents is
nothing to joke about. It is commonly knowi as
pyorrhea, and next to tooth decay is the most prevalent dental disorder, according to the Dental Institute of America
Broadly speaking, pyorrhea consists of diseased pockets about the teeth, the tissues supporting
which became irritated for various reasons causing lowered resistance to the Invasion of germs In
time, the germs destroy more supporting tissue,
the tooth is loosened and often lost Pyorrhea literally means a flow of pus
"Neglect arid Ignorance account for the startling prevalence of this disease." says the Institute,
"for dental science has evolved a simple and highly effective method of treatment Vast numbers
of people are losing their teeth from sheer lack of
dental care "
Statistics by some authorities show that the
percentage of Americans having pyorrhea range
about as follows- At 20 years, 10 per cqnt; at 30
years 50 per cent; at 40 years, 80 per cent; at 50
years, 90 per cent or more.
Records show that in nearly all advanced cases
there is evidence of total neglect of professional
dental attention over a considerable period of time
So whether we call it pyorrhea or use the
more fearsome term, periodontoclasia, we should
look out for this highly prevalent disease, and
have it treated early, thus preserving health and
possibly extending life
