How Acids Affect the Teeth.

All acid foods are very injurious to
the teeth. If tooth is put in cider,
vinegar, lemon juice or tartario acid,
in few hours the enamel will be COM
pletely destroyed SO that it can be re-
moved by the finger nail as if it were
chalk. Most people have experienced
what is commonly called teeth set ON
edge. The explanation is, the acid of
the fruit that has been eaten has so far
softened the enamel of the tooth that
the least pressure is felt by the exceed
ingly small nerves which pervade the
thin membrane which connects the
enamel and the bony part of the teeth.

How to Polish Linen.

Melt together an ounce of white wax
and ounces of spermaceti with a large
spoonful of salt. Dissolve these ingre-
dents over slow fire and pour into a
wet cup to cool. Make boiled starch in
the usual way, cooking it slowly for 90
minutes, and for every tablespoonful Of
dry starch used add lump Of the aoove
preparation about as large as a cherry.
Use no cold starch and do not sprinkle.
When the starched pieces are dry, lay
them in wet towel for two hours and
bring up the gloss by rubbing evenly
with the heel of a polishing iron. The
great secret in glazing starched goods is
to use the polishing iron properly.

PHILLIDA'S BIRTHDAY.

Although you might surmise
She descended from the skies
Yesterday,
My Phillida would scOrn
To deny that she was born
Quite the ordinary way.
But should you ask her "when?"
She will smile upon you then,
With an air
That would seem to indicate
She was Just as old as fate,
With the ages in her hair.
The month, the day. perchance,
She'll confess with merry glance;
For she knows
A birthday box may come
Something that may tell, though dumb
More than words would dare disclose
But never will you gain
What is locked within her brain
Videlicet:
What year, most happy one,
First awakened to the sun
Those deep eyes of violet.
And yet she is, in truth,
Such paragon of youth,
You'll agree
The subject of her years
Could not be made a source Of fears,
TO the maid SO young as she.
But Phillida is sage,
If to-day she told her age
Frank and fair,
Five and twenty years from now
Some one might the truth avow,
When she does begin to care.

goods instead of manufactur-

European goods instead of manufactur-
ing them ourselves. AT a re-
cent meeting of Exempt Firemen 1t was
found that a majority of the company
favored the patronage of home indus
tries There was no division on party
lines, no thought of politics in connec-
ton with the question, yet number
declared they preferred to pay % cents
more and get goods that were made at
home by American labor. This is the
strongest kind of protection argument.
These men were not millionaires, who
could afford to throw away money.
They simply testified that it would sat
isfy them better as American citizens
and residents of this city to patronize
home industry than to go abroad to
obtain articles at less price. What
more do Republicans claim?
A Democratic official Of this city re-
Gently. in talking to his colleagues,
stated positively that he as we'll as
many other Democrats had concluded
that protection was essential to the
prosperity of the country and that prac
tically the whole country wanted a
moderate protective tariff All this
proves that the only object of the DEM
ocrats now is to lead the people off to
a side issue, knowing that on the sub
ject of the tariff they stand no chance
of succeeding, and every speaker that
appeared on the platform Saturday
evening knows that the real issue in
this campaign with the 65000,00O out
of the 10000, 900 of people is the restora-
tion of prosperity by active industry.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
WORTHY OF HONOR.


Everybody in south Dickinson
county is acquainted with Martin
Pease, Republican nominee for probate
Judge, and everybody who knows
him is his friend. Before election he
will probably see many Of the voters
Of the rest Of the county and we as
sure them that when they meet Mr..
Pease they will meet perfect gentle
man. He is native OF Oakland
county, Mich, and was born Aug. a.
1886. His first vote was cast for John
C. Fremont for president and as he
began, so has he conCinued, an ardent
and faithful Republican. He was
soldier of good standing. Enlisting
in Co. +, lst Michigan cavalry in 1864
he served as orderly sergeant until
1866, putting in two years in the
army. After the surrender Of Lee he
was sent west with his command and
served in the campaign against the
Mormons and Indians. During his
military career he was with his COM
mand in 81 engagements OF more or
less Importance, among them being
those OF the Wilderness, Beaver Dam,
Yellow Tavern, Meadow Bridge, Mil
ford, Baltimore, Cross Roads, Cold
Harbor, Trayilllan Station, Front
Royal, Winchester, Cedar Greek, Ap-
pomattox, etc.
MIR. Pease came to Kansas in Feb
ruary, 1874, homesteading In Hope
township He was the first trustee Of
the township, when it was yet . part
Of Ridge, has been justice OF the
peace, township treasurer, mayor o.
