Ought to be Stopped.

The amount of filth and garbage
dumped out along the south limits Of
this town is getting to be menace to
the health of the place. For half a
mile along the Mcclellan hedge there
are dead cattle, horses, mules, asses,
dogs, hogs and other animals running
into the hundreds lying and rotting,
communicating the atmosphere for
miles around. In addition also it is
the unloading place for all the offal of
the town. Some means ought to be
provided for its destruction.

Are You on the "Night Row."

AT one of the stables in town they
have what they call might row.
where boarding horses likely to be
called for in the night are kept. And
there are some horses on that row not
owned by physicians. But it's con-
tidential matter, and enquiries will be

If You Are Not Interested
In Your Teeth.

The condition of the mouth has
much to do with the general health.
The improvement following the
placing Of the teeth in healthy
condition is often surprising. One
cause of so.called "bad breath" is
due to the tartar on the teeth, they
being otherwise sound and good.
Tartar is in many mouths the only
enemy to contend with. 1t ac-
cumulates at the neck of the teeth,
irritates the gums, causing them
to become infiamed so that they
bleed easily. This should be
taken as warning, and if DR.. IT.
vine is called upon in time will
prevent much injury. If not done
the accumulation continues and in
time the teeth become loose. A
great many intelligent persons fail
to appreciate the importance of
taking care of their teeth until
compelled to do so by suffering.
Then they want their teeth ex-
tracted, and it is just as foolish to
have a tooth extracted because it
is in an liberated or broken down
condition as it would be to have a
finger amputated because OF the
appearance of felon or the re-
moving of an eye to get rid of a
cataract. Diseases of the teeth
and surrounding tissue are certain
ly as amenable to treatment as are
ulcers or morbid growths in other
parts of the body. A tooth that is
decayed contains cavity in which
food collects and is decomposed,
causing an offensive breath. The
decomposed food is dislodged and
carried into the stomach where it
may cause trouble. OF course the
trouble is increased by the number
of teeth involved. A person with
poor teeth cannot eat with satifac-
tion, he Is in nervous condition,
his food imperfectly masticated
and insalivated, hence goes into
the stomach unprepared for diges-
ticn, thereby causing Indigestion.
Decay generally begins in some
obscure point inaccessible to the
patient-hence the advantage of a
visit to

The fate of the silk petticoat
seems to hang in the balance. For
several months past it has been the

Far and wide the opinion is ex-
pressed that the rustic of the silk

ceding towards fashions remotest

Tlle white MANS Burden.
BY Rudyard Kipling.


Take up the white mans burden
Send forth the best ye breed
Go, bind your sons to exile
TO serve your captives' need;
To wait, in heavy harness,
On futtered folk and wild
Your new-caught sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
Take up the white mans burden
Inpatience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
BY open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain,
To seek another's profit
And work another's again.
Take up the white mans burden
The savage wars of peace
Fill full the mouth of famine,
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
(The end for others soughD
Watch sloth and heather folly
Bring all your hope to nought.
Take up the white mans burden
No iron rule of kings,
But toll of serf and sweeper
The tale of common,things.
The ports we shall not enter,
The roads We shall not tread,
Go, make them with your living
And mark them with your dead.
Take up the white mans burden,
Z And reap his old reward
The blame of those We better
The hate of those we guard
The cry of hosts we humour
(Ah, slowlyD toward the light
"Why brought we us from bondage,
Our loved Egyptian nightH
Take up the white mans burden
Ye dare not stoop to less
Nor call too loud on Freedom
To cloke your WEAKNESS.
BY all We will or whisper,
BY all we leave or do,
The silent sullen peoples
Shall weigh your God and you.
Take up the white mans burdenl
Have done with childish days
The lightly-proffered laurel,
The easy ungrudged praise;
Come now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years,
Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom
The judgment of your peers.

rhe BrOwn MANS Burden.

Labouchere's parody on Kip
ling's "The White Mans Burden, F"
printed in Truth, has attracted al
most as much attention as the
poem itself. I have given you an
idea of the parody in previous
dispatch. Hero it is in full:
Pile on the brown mans burden
To crafty your greed;
Go clear away the niggers
Who progress would impede;
Be very stern, for truly
Ills useless to build
With new caught, sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
Pile on the brown mans burden;
And IL ye rouse his hate,
Meet his old.fashioned reasons
With Maxims up to date.
With shells and duIndum bullets
A hundred times make plain
The brown mans loss must ever
Imply the white mans gain.
Pile on the brown mans burden2
Compel him to be free;
Let all your manifestoes
Reek with philanthropy.
And If with heather folly
He dares your will dispute,
Then in the name of freedom
Don't hesitatet to shoot.
Pile on the brown mans burden,
And If his cry be sore,
That surely need not irlI you
Ye've driven slaves before.
Sieze on his ports and pastures,
The field his people tread;
Go make from them your living,
And mark them with his dead
Pile on the brown mans burden,
Nor do not deem it hard
If you should earn the rancor
or those you yearn to guard.
The screaming of your eagle
Will drown:the victims sob
Go on through fire and slaughter,
There's dollars in the job.
Pile on the brown mans burden,
And through the world proclaim,
That we are freedoms agents
There's no more paying gamer
And should your own past history
Straight in your teeth be thrown,
Retort that independence
Is good for whites alone.
Pile on the brown mans burden,
With equity have done;
Weak, antiquated scruples
Their squeamish course have run.
And though It's freedoms banner,
You're waving in the van,
Reserve for home consumption

Or lag along the course,
