THE means of quick communication that
exist today are developing new phases Of
influence on legislation,' said an old en-
ploye of the Senate today. 1T is surprising
to members of the finance and appropria-
tons committees to find how quickly any
proposed action discussed by them will be
known throughout the country. and how
promptly kilograms, either approving
protesting against the measure under con-
temptation, are sent to them. Today, 1t may
be, CORES spondents telegraph their papers
that tax is to be laid on a certain article
That information is printed in the next
mornings papers throughout the country
in the day kilograms come in by the score
to its members either protesting against
or commencing the action. short time ago

"WashiHgtOn may not he a great manu-
featuring city" said a dentist but there
is one little instrument that is made here
he II j,-
dispensable article in the dental business
and one that is familiar to thousands of
people probably millions. It Is the instru-
ment with which dentists remove the nerve
Of a tooth after the nerve has been killed
The purpose Of killing the nerve is to fill
the cavity that exists and that has exposed
the nerve to air. causing pain and trouble
After the dentist has treated the nerve some
time and believes it is dead he takes one
of these instruments, pushes it down into
the cavity. turns it around few minutes
and pulls out the dead nerve-a long string
like thing. The end of the little instru-
ment is made rough, having tiny teeth
When these come in contact with the dead
nerve they catch it on the little prongs
and the dentist takes it out without trouble
Ii is called a canal cleanser. in technical
terms The instruments are made in Wash
ingtOn and are distributed throughout the
world by means of New York firm that
has the sole agency. The owner of the pat
ent has probably made a fortune"
