t fits into the crevice of the open book in between the pages the long part or arm should be cut a little longer than the width of the book so as to project slightly about a quarter of an inch it should not be over a quarter of an inch wide the tonsils may lead to a thick tongue or a projecting lower jaw or the lack of hard foods to chew may prevent the normal development of the jaw with conseuent crowding of the permonent teeth out of place all of these malformations of the jaw which interfere with the normal arrangement of the teeth also inter fere with the proper chewing and the assimilation offeod indigestion mal nutrition and other troubles may fol low as natural consequences the practice of these seemingly harmless habits in young children may have lasting and disastrous
