MIR. CLARENCE W. SMALL

MR.. CLARENCE W. SMALL
in the course of his remarks said that the
antis had yet to disprove figure or to
explode an argument made by the annex
ationists. Judging from the Mayors
annual recommendations Of the appro-
priations for city purposes during the
coming year, the various accounts will
run as short as they have this year and
we shall be called upon to meet these
deficits in the shape of increased taxes.
MR.. LUTHER B. ROBERTS,
the Democratic candidate for mayor, was
called on and said in brief: I am no
new convert to annexation. From all
the points of view from which l have
made my observations we are going to
carry annexation. (Applause.) There
was time when wards six and seven
Oakdale and Stroudwater, were working
for annexation. Now the other wards
of the city are for it and are as enthu-
asiastic as we were then.
MR.. THOMAS G. HARRIS
said have no fear if annexed that our
city will be oyerrun with the liquor ele-
ment. The anti-annexationists say that
there is no need of a steam fire engine in

W AR NEWS.

In this column from week to week during the
continuance of the war, THE AMERICAN will
print the important facts and events of the
war in the order OF their occurrence. We shall
cndeavor to separate the wheat from the chair-
fact from rumor-to the end that readers of The
AMERICAN will be correctly informed of the
progress of events. We will give no space here
o unauthenticated rumors and will relieve the
news of all sensational features and mac.
curacies which are inseparabe from daily press
reports and news buctins. We viii tell the
plain, uuvarni-hed tale, that the files of THE
AMERICAN may afford fairly correct history OF
the war. On Wednesdays, however, we will
print tde most reliable news bulletins received
up to the hour of going to press, but these
bulletins will be entirely apart from this
column.

Gloves and Sentiment.

1t is unpleasant to be reminded that
nearly every feature Of our civilization
that promotes comfort is traceabie to
the victory Of the stronger over the
weaker. The following story along this
line, of Mrs. Horace Greeley and Mar
garet Fuller, is revived by The In
terror:
Mrs. Greeley had a strong antdpathy
to kid gloves, and never wore them up
on any occasion. One day, 1t is said,
she met Margaret Fuller on the street,
and instead of greeting her with any
usual salutation, she touched Margar-
cts hand with shudder. exclaiming:
skin of beast! Skin of a beast!'

What spoi1s the Sweet Tooth.

What Spoi1s the Sweet Tooth.
A little boy who is quite well &c.
luainted with the man who keeps a
grocery. happened to be in there the
other day when the grocer was weigh
ing out sugar. The white, glistening
stuff appealed to the little fellows
sweet tooth and he asked for lump
of sugar.
The grocer laughed. "The idea," he
said. You mustn't eat 1t. 1t will rot
your teeth"
"WhyY asked the boy. He had been
told such things many times before,
and many times before had he asked
why" but never had he received a
satisfactory answer.
oh" replied the grocer vaguely, "be-
cause 1t will. All sweet things break
the enamel on your teeth and rot
them"
Then the boy arose in the might Of
his injured pride. Il don't see," said
he, "how that can be. Sweet things
oughtn't hurt any more than sour
things, or bitter things, or not so much
in fact"
And the little chap was right. But
he didn't know it, nor the grocer didn't
know it. Consequently, it Is just as
well to enlighten them and at the same
time correct the generally prevailing
erroneous impression. Sugar, and other
sweet things in themselves do not hurt
the teeth-that is, it is not the quality
Of sweetness that is injurious, but the
fine, sandy particles that abound even
in the most highly refined sugar. These
scratch against the teeth and break the
enamel, but the innocent sweetness
gets the credit for all the damage
