Associated Press Report.
v DALLAS Texaa Jan. 22. Public
fctillty electric power plants in Teias
4arlg 1923 produced approximately
na bUUoB kilowatt hours of electric
e Barry according to the Texaa Pub-
lic Service Information bureau. Toil
la-about ninety million kilowatt noun
month. Only 10 Statei exceeded
thia record. All of this was pro-
this record. All of this was pro-
Idooed by steam power with the ex-
jMKtion of seren million kilowatt
IHurars which came from water power.
The steam power was made by
AfUliWlA M.l kMA mrtA m half
fnillion barrels of fuel oil snd four
ad a hslf billion cubic feet of gas.
'In addition to this energy pro-
duced by public utility electric plants
.there was some power produced by
.plants not in the public service. .
f ;Thls large use of power in Texss
IsT Interesting by comparison with a
comparatively few years ago within
.the memory of men now living
rhan power used in Texss wss con-
' lined mostly to horses snd hand pow-
ar said the bureau.
- iWlnd snd water were the oldest
sources of power" the buresu said.
"The first power development iu
the United States wss s wster wheel
to ran a flour mill at Plymouth. The
tlret power in Texas wss from flow-
nf water sway back in the days
'wnen the missions were being built.
"The increasing use of electric
powr In Texss is due to growth of
industries in this Stste and to wider
application of electric power to pro-
tectees that used to employ other
power. This wider application of
. electric power is a result of engi-
Ineering progress thst has made for
.'efficiency and economies in the use
f such power
: "A notable feature of the electric
adnstry in Texss is that the lncrees-
lng demands for electric service are
t'ao great as to make for a very ex-
; tensive financing and building move-
ment among electrical central sta-
ntibus In .all psrts of the State."

What happens there
The edges of' your gums are rounded.
"They form a little triangular crevice where .

lodge there. They ferment and form acids
which eat into the teeth. This is Acid
