George Wore False Teeth.

During the latter part of his life Wash
ington wore false teeth, made by dent
list named Greenwood. His teeth did
not fit well and pushed out his lower
lip He had lot of trouble with his
teeth, and there is in existence copy of
letter which his dentist wrote to him
a year before he died. The dentist tells
Washington that the old set of teeth
which he sent him from Philadelphia was
very black. and that it must have been
discolored by his soaking them in port
wine or by his drinking too much port
wine. He warns Washington that all
wines containing acid are bad for the
teeth, and advises him to take out his
teeth after dinner and put them in clean
water, and should any holes be eaten IN
them by the acid. to fill them with wax
and seal them tight with piece of red
hot iron, such as a nail. He closes his
letter as follows:
''If your teeth grows black, take some
chalk and pine or cedar stick; it will
rub off. If you want your teeth more
yellow, soak them in broth or pot liquor
but not in tea or acids. To preserve teeth
they must be very often changed ant
cleaned, for whatever attacks them mus
be replaced as often, or it will gain
ground and destroy the works. The tive
sets l repaired is done on a different plal
| than when entirely new, for the teetl
are screwed on the bars instead of hav

is the reason believe they dissolve s.

chicago in Grasp Of a storm.

Chicago, June 29,-For "a hours Chi
cago has been in the grasp of one of the
heaviest storms of the year. The rain
has fallen increasingly and the wind has
blown gale off Lake Michigan, the force
of the blow rising at times to 40 miles
an hour. Much damage has been done to
truck farms near the city, and the con,
tinued wet weather has caused heavy loss
to florists, many Of whom viii be eompell-
ed to plant their flowers over again. The
flower beds in the majority of the parks
have been ruined. 1t is believed, accord
ing to the weather bureau, that severe
weather will continue for at least 80 hour:
more.

BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations OF
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
dis6guring pimples.

eminent. but willingness To help forward
il along lines of American models. We
want a government in the Philippines adj
tusted as closely as possible 10 real repub-
lean forms. We could not afford to stand
for any other. The Filipinos therefore will
consult their own best interests by at once
giving us their support, and by studying
means by which the value of that support
may be enhanced. For their welfare as for
our own. We shall continue to show the
way. The local assembly when it comes

the complete withdrawal of the Spanish
rriars from the Islands, and the appearance
in their places of pastors of the Roman

The civil power will then go it's way, and
the religious authorities of all communions

States here. will be to the general advan-
tage.
All things considered, matters are in good

only possible source Of danger lies In dis

articles on which an internal tariff Is i'm
posed. The gold reserve is assured the
former menace of the endless chain Of

there is little likelihood of the growth of

part of it's income.
