Cancer of the lip" physician
stated recently, us caused more fire.
cancer from would think by the
the Toothbrush. toothbrush. Let me
illustrate this by typical case which
am treating now. John Blank smoked
good deal, and to keep his teeth white
he cleaned, them hard three times day
with brush whose bristles were like
wire. He brushed a little patch OF
skin from his lower lip. Afterward he
was careful, and the sore spot healed.
But then he forgot, and, the spot be-
came sore again. This went on year
or so. Two days out of the seven this
one place in Blanks lip was sore. FL
nally it began to pain him; it hurt all
the time; it smarted even when appar-
emily healed. He would awake in the
night with the sharp, pinching pain
there, and the pain was like the clutch
now-cancer due to the irritation which
he had applied thrice daily for year
to that one spot with his stiff-bristled
brush. No wonder he had cancer, and
no wonder there are many such cases.
People won't learn that tooth-clcaning
may do harm. They are proud of 1t, as
of bathing, and they can't believe that
any little pain or irritation due to 1t
can be other than of benefit"

$50,
The Iowa crop report contains q
suggestion that may be psrtly re-
sponsible for the
short Drop OF
wheat. 1t indicates
a considerable gain in acreage Of corn
and falling off in the acreages of
wheat and other crops, with improved
conditions of live stock. This is taken
as an indication that the tendency is
more and more each year to devote
the farm to corn for stock feeding
purposes and to give up the raising
of small grain for market. With the
usual price of grain and stock this is
good policy, and it is advised by most
of the agricultural papers, which urge
it as the best plan for small farmers.
The shipping of feed when the stock
might be fattened on the farm is
wasteful. An illustration is found in
a recent number of the Louisiana
Planter, which told of the use of mo-
lasses in that section of the country
for stock. 1t seems that while for
years low grade molasscs has been
shipped to England from New Orleans
for fattening stock, it had not oc-

discovery in regard to the profitable
ness of feeding corn seems to have

The Promises and Predictions of
1896.

The republican platform of 1896
promised the country bimetallism by
international agreement.
The democrats said the party was
not sincere in making the promises.
A commission was sent to Europe
to arrange with the powers for coinage
at universal ratio to be established
by the leading commercial nations.
When the commission was making
favorable progress in that direction,
Mr.. Mckinley sent to congress brief
message advocating the gold standard,
thus'confirming the charge of Implicitly
and insincerity in the platform declar-
alton in favor of bimetallism.
The party press and its speakers
everywhere proclaimed that there was
money enough, that the country did
not require more.
The democrats contended that an
increase in the money in circulation
would raise prices, increase wages and
provisNd ditional employment to all
branchesSf labor. Now the repuhli'

Early in the evening the ncighbora heard

persons in the adjoining house made an
investigation. With a lantern they de-
scended to the cellar. where William Ran

As the man with the lantern stopped
over the dying man the goat charged him.
His fury was sc great that the man re-
treated and summoned aid. But the goat
succeeded in driving off half a dozen men.
and Policeman Halpin was called in. With
his night stick he succeeded in driving OF
the goat until he had found the man was

found on the verge Of death from exposure
