no sound from the silent room bevond.
The brandy revived him. He passed
from the dining-room into the hall.
Nothing would have induced him to
re-enter that room. He took his coat
and hat from the rack and. hastily
opening the door, stepped ont into the
brightly lighted hall of the apartment
house, and stepped out straight into
the arms OF Gillette and the stalwart
police captain Of the precinct, who
lived on the top floor.
Gillette had been worried over the
look on Fanshaw's face when he had
left the fiat. He had hung about the
street all the evening, and had heard
that one wild, piercing scream. Co

around the corner, he had conf1ded his

come together to investigate. AS they

Some Interesting Facts About the
Dental Functions.

Dental Functions.
In the great Malagawa temple at
Randy is tooth attracting pilgrims
from far and near. A special mission
was sent from Siam to try to purchase
this, supposed tooth of Buddha. An
amount equivalent to S250,000 was of
fered for it. 1t is not strange that
portion of the human body should
be thus worshiped There are many
shrines where teeth are held as OBJ
jects of worship, inclosed within gold
en- caskets, and rarely exposed to the
gaze of the unbelievers.
The average individual values
tooth lightly, even as an object of util-
ity, in it's natural setting, and it's loss
is considered TRIVIAL matter, unless
it happens to be front tooth. Not
until nearly all the teeth have been
destroyed by decay or rmoved by the
forceps does one realize what has hap
pened.
When one tooth has been extracted,
you have really lost two. Teeth cut
and grind. The grinding teeth may be
likened to millstones-one acting up
on the other. Remove a tooth and the
opposing organ is without a function.
1t has nothing to grind against. 1t
will lengthen slightly, as though in
search of mate, and in the case of
the gnawing animals the loss OF an
incisor usually results in the death
of the animal. The opposing tooth
elongating, prevents the use of the
remaining teeth, or, as frequently hap
mems to rabbits, the tooth, havin ne
work to do, curves upward until it
penetrates the skull. Luckily, our
teeth are limited as to their growth.
1t is curious fact that most PEG
pie in chewing use one side of the
mouth more than the other This
can be traced usually to some defect
on the unused side; but the habitual
use of one side of the mouth is detri-
mental to the opposite side and the
health generally.
'The strength of an organ depends
upon It's use" applies to the teeth as
it does to any other part of the body.
The mastication OF coarse food NAV

does not interfere with their function

An Arboreal Wedding.

There recently took place in this
neighborhood a wedding which was
as startling as any one coul wish.
It seems that the bride had peculiar
notions about weddings, and she had
made up her mind to have her mar

monial. There were to be no attend
ants except the maid of honor, the
brides sister, and at the time appoint

The ones who talk against the cook
ing schools of today are only those who
have very little practical knowledge of
their methods and results" said n prac-
teal housewife after attending an I'M
usually intereStin" lesson" and the
truth of this has been repeatedly no
ticed.
The opinion is too general that cook
ing school methods are antagOniStic TO
health and economy. when the truth is
quite the reverse. This prejudice may
arise from the fact that demonstration
lectures. as reported i'll the newspapers.
generally illustrate the more elaborate
dishes such lectures being given to
suggest novelties or to please the de-
mand for something extra nice.
Sometimes. however. the more eco
nOmical dishes are demonstrated. but
the general audience or reader fails to
understand il as such. \ woman will
read rule which calls for a cupful of
this half a cIpfUl of That. flour To mix,
etc. and confuse its brevity with plain
ness and economy. Give her recipe
calling for half the expense. but with
accurate measurement and the proper
way of mixing and cooking carefully
written out. and she will call it TOO
fussy for her" This may be Il retiec-
ton on her common sense. but ii is
often true nevertheless.
Cooking school methods are scientific
methods. and these should be the guide
always in preparing food for the fam
lily. And it is only those who under
stand these facts from practical knOwl-
edge who rightly appreciate cooking
schools and the good work they are
doing throughout the country in these

woman Suffrage In Colorado.

There has been so much said of late

about equal suffrage in Colorado.
have been actively engaged in the cam
paign from beginning to end. Two
years ago a few women organized the
WOman's Republican league. This fall
we reorganized under the name of the
Woman's Republican League of Colo
RADIO. We have over 1000 workers in
this league from the ranks of the best
and most representative women of
Denver; also organizations in almost
every town in the state. The junior
league of Denver is composed of young
married women and first voters and is
largely made up of leadiAg society peo-
pie.
Il can speak with authority of these
matters for the reason that. as vice
president OF the league. l was given
charge of the work of organization in
Denver and many other places in the
state.
Denver was organized in this man
ner: Each district had its chairman "a
woman of influence; each precinct
had its chairman. who had Il house to
house canvass made to be certain that
all Republican women were registered.
Certain women We're delegated to look
after Indifferent voters on election day.
The Democratic women had a good,
strong organization of the best women
in that party. and whoever says that
the women Of Colorado have little in
terest in the ballot makes a false state
ment. There are Indifferent women in
the state just as there are Indifferent
men. but they belong TO the minority
