CURES FOR
Remedies That Do Not Appeal to the
Ordinary Man TO-DAY

Remedies That Dc Not Appeal to the
Ordinary Man Today. .
The man in dental anguish some
times curses with Burns the venomed
stang that shoots his tortured gums
alang." Sometimes, ON the other hand,
he prays. st. Augustine in his "Con-
LESSONS" relates how he once suffered
from "dolor dentium' (toothache), ap-
parently in an aggravated form, for
he could not speak. Thereupon he
wrote on wax a prayer to God for the
other brethren to repeat, and as soon
as all We're on their knees the pain
went. But what a pain!' he says.
"Never since my tender age had l ex-
perienced the like" Southey in his
Life of John Wesley" tells of that
eminent preacher that when his own
tooth ached he prayed and the pain
left him.
Unfortunately ordinary men do not
seem to have such ~eficacious faith.
When the e%xcruciation begins, they
must bear it philosophically, and on
S~hakespeare's authority toothache
finds out just the weak place in the
philosophers armor of patience. In
the middle ages the devout who were
racked with pain had a special patron
to whom they could call for deliver
ance. st. Apollonia, a martyr under
the emperor Philip, among other
cruel indignities had her teeth pulled
out. In consequence she became tooth
aches tutelary saint, as her emblems-
one of which is holding a tooth in
pinchers"-suficiently testify.
And there would seem to have been
yet another martyr, st. Blaize, who
took cognizance Of the disease. He was
honored in the little town of st. Bla-
zey, in Cornwall, where candles Of
fered upon his altar were supposed to
be an infallible cure for toothache.-

A Retort That silenced an Interrupt

An effort Of one Of John B. Coughs

the politicians began to give considera-

uor dealers are said to have been so
frightened that they employed men to
follow the lecturer, sit among the audi

Think Of the fields Of tasseled corn

dollars worth of corn to the whisky

Then, turning to Cough, he went on:

SOUTHERN RAISES WAGES
Tho Engineers Receive an A5vsnce to 'stau-
dard Pay
(By the Associated Press.)

Knoxville, Tenn, Dec. 9.-All en-
gineerss of the Southern Railya system
have been granted an increase of wages.
The increase is from the pay Which the
engineers have been receiving to what is
known as STANDARD pay" four and one
half cents per mile for freight engineers
and three cents fer passenger engineers,
and pay for overt time when laid out,
etc. The increase will amount to at
least ten per cent, but the best feature
is that the standard scale. is more sais
factory" to the men. 1t was necessary to
send committee of one man rom each
of the divisions of the read to Wash
ington before the matter was settled.
The conductors of the system stand an
excellent chance of getting better money
for their services. A committee is now
at Washington for the purpose of con-
ferring with General Manager Ackert.
The conductors also want the standard
wage schedule and will probably get it.
