Toledo. O.. Sept. 16.-Adolph Rutmeyer,
whose home Is located on Bayview lane,
two blocks north of Michigan avenue for
three weeks has subsisted upon diluted
foods and the softened diet is caused by
the fact that through mysterious process
he has lost all his teeth. Rutmeyer ia a

teeth began to decay IN an alarming man.

OF several dentists to save the molars they
rotted away one by one and dropped out
OF Rutmeyers mouth. The progress OF
the decay was astonishingly fast. Today
Rutmeyer's gums are as innocent of mo-

In Mr.. sludd's District.

Under the above head the last

There Is much speculation in both
parties as to what Democrat in the
Fifth district can be induced TO take
up the almost hopeless fight against
Mr.. Mudd. The addition Of two
Baltimore city wards to the Fifth
district by the recent Legislature
had the effect Of squelching the as
pirations of several young Demo
Gratis who, had there been no change
made. would have gone after the
nomination and entered the fight
this fall. To most persons, the
changes made in the district seem
to have largely increased the Re-
publican majority. Some OF the
Anne Arundel county politicians,
however, take different view and
assert that with good, aggressive
candidate, the Democrats can carry
the district under the present ballot
law. The enemies made by Con-
gresham Mudd, they claim, in his
own party are numerous and have
increased since the last campaign.
He is not, they say, the king he was
in his county in former years. There
are indications that Senator Green

up the gauntlet against Mr.. Mudd

islature several changes were made
in the County Treasurer Law of st.
Mary's county. The Bill was in
troduced by Delegate Grason and is

Among the changes are:
The Treasurer is to hold Office

taxes before their property be ad-
vertised for sale for taxes. And,
thirty days notice must be given of
tax sales, rs under the old Act. The
Treasurer, in his discretion, may
defer advertising delinquents prop
erty until August /, instead of June

urer is authorized to deposit his tax
collections in a National Bank or

Maryland Tobacco.

The fact that the French Govern
ment in inviting its proposals for
tobacco TO be furnished it this year
omitted all mention of Maryland to-
bacco has occasioned much comment
and a good deal of alarm among all
interested in the growing and sell
ing of the crop.
The representative of the French
Government has been in Baltimore,
has met and talked with Commission
men and tobacco buyers and has
carefully studied the market. But
he has kept the results of his obser-
vatiOns TO himself. What he thinks
and what he will recommend 10 his
government he has not given out for
publication.
Holders OF tobacco have the conso-
lation of knowing that in the an
nounced French contracts no pro-
vision has been made tosupply from
other States the amount of tobacco
usually bought from Maryland.
Every one hopes that France will
buy her usual amount of Maryland
tobacco; many believe that she will,
and think the omission from the
contract means only a change in the
method of buying. But no one
knows. We hope the uncertainty
will soon be cleared up and trust
that the new move of the largest
purchaser of our tobacco crops may
result advantageously for the grow
ers.
