FALSE TEETH FOR SOLDIERS.
A British Dentist Thinks Prevention
Better than Cure.
London Mail.

London Mail.
The War Office has already got to work
upon its plan for supplying sets of false
teeth gratis to soldiers who have lost their
teeth ''as the result of active SERVICE" and
local dentists have been approached in
various eenters with the offer of army work.
dentists is only 81 for extraction Qncluding
anesthetic and whatever the number of
teeth and from az los to "a los for the
artificial substitutes. This Is not consid-
cred by the dentists to be a liberal price
inasmuch under the present plan . the
soldier does not come into the dentists
hands al all until he is practically rendered
incapable of duty through loss or decay of
his teenth.
One of the official dentists says that nearly
all the teeth lost ruined ia the South
African war were damaged by the biscuits
The soldiers avert that the biscuits were
almost as hard as granite, and that il was
impossible to eat them unless they were
soaked overnight or boiled in fat. Instances
are numerous Of men whose teeth were
broken to pieces and who came home with
a mouth full of jagged edges.
But, according TO the official dentist the
War Office plan starts at the wrong end
so far soldiers enlisted since the war are
concerned. The War Office idea is that
these men shall wait until they are inca
pacitated for want of sound teeth and then
be sent TO the dentist for a new set The
dentists experience is that men with one or
two decayed teeth are not sent TO have
their teeth repaired, and the repair of teeth
is no part of the new plan. New sets of
false teeth for old sets of natural ones is
the War Office idea. What ought tu be done
i'm professional opinion Is to appoint dem
fists who shall regularly examine the teeth
OF every soldier In the army--twice a year
and keep the mems teeths in good repair
Recruits have to possess a sufficient num-
Der of good teeth on joining the army, and
the obvious thing 10 do would be TO prevent
their teeth from deeaying.
The army dentist should stop or
crown decaying teeth. so that most men
would never require the false set now
temptingly offered. The regular inaoecton
and mending of teeth would probably be
less expensive than the provision OF new
sets and IL would raise the standard of
health in the army and decrease the pro-
norton OF inefficients

A story Beveridse started to Tell.

Because Senator Beverage has rather a
florid way of talking, even in ordinary con-
versation, coed story has perhaps been

Yes, but not that not that" interrupted
Mr.. Lamb About the young lady. What
did you say of her?"

with even more pronounced iciness. as he
saw his story dissolving into air, that she
was passing fair

who appeared to be very serious

ANXIOUS TO BEGIN WORK
OFFICIALS OF NEW RAILROAD COM
PANY BEFORE WORKS BOARD.
Elevated Tracks Discussed mt the
Meeting-Secretary Myers Talks
for His Company.

Two conferences were held yesterday be-
tween the officials OF the indianapolis. Lo-
ganspOrt & Chicago Railroad and the city
oficia to DISCUSS the petition filed by that
company with the Board of Public Works
for permission to enter the city. At the
first conference with the Board of Public
Works and Mayor Bookwalter. Quincy A
Myers. of Logansport. and 1. n. Richie, of
this city, represented the railroad.
1t was represented by the railroad people
that If the franchise could be secured.
work on the road would begin at once. and
that the road would be in operation from
this city TO Sheridan by the first of jan
uary OF next year. In reply to a question
of Mr.. Mcguire as to what the road would
do in regard to elevated tracks. Mr.. Myers
said that he hardly thought it fair for the
city to ask the new road to elevate its
tracks when other roads in Indianapolis
which had been here for years had not
been asked TO do the same. but that when
ever the other roads were required to ele-
vate their tracks the new road would do
the same without protest.
Ii was pointed out by Mayor Bookwalter
that it would be impossible for the fran
chise to be taken up by Council Monday
night, as Mr.. Joss had not been consulted
and no agreements had been drawn. Fol-
lowing the conference with the board, the
Mayor, Mr.. Richie and Mr.. Myers held a
short conference with Mr.. Joss. Matters re-
garding the preliminary steps were dis
cussed and more meetings between the Off
Gals of the road and Mr.. Joss will occur
next week.
The Board of Park Commissioners must
next be consulted regarding the crossing
through Riverside Park, but as Charles
Coffin is out OF the city, nothing can be
done until he returns. Ii is thought no OBJ
Jections will be raised. as the new road
parallels the Big Four and will likely go
through the park on the same conditions as
that road.
Mr.. Myers was to appear before the Coun-
Gil committee on railroads last night.

TRUE PREVENTIVE OF HAY
FEVER.
Hyomei Destroys GeSms Of the Dis
ease and Keeps People Well

kyomei Destroys Gegms Of the Die
ease and Keeps People Well.
There can be little or no doubt az
% the hay fever being a germ iis-
ease. It is, too, one disease where
prevention is much easier than cure.
All who are subject to this disa-
greeable trouble should use Hyomei
daily for at least two or three weeks
before the time of their annual at
tack. In this way the annoying par
oxysms of sneezirg, running at the
nose and watery and smarting eyes
can be avoided.
This remarkable discovery makes
possible for anyone to breathe air at
home which is almost identical with
that of the Adirondacks or White
Mountains or other resorts where hay
fever sufferers go TO escape their
trouble.
II, however, Hyomei has not been
used until the disease has begun, II is
necessary to use It more frequently,
at least half dozen times daily, and
Hyomei Balm should be rubbed into
the nostrils both morning and night
This treatment will relieve at once
and will effect cure In nearly every
case.
The City Drug Store carries a com
plete line of the Hyomei goods and
will sell an outfit of inhaler, Hyome
and medicine dropper for 81, and viii
also agree to refund the money II thu
treatment does not give satisfaction
| Do not try to cure hay fever by
dosing the stomach. Breathe Hyome
and in that way the medication will
reach the minutest air cells in thu
nose, throat and lungs. soothe AM
heal the irritated mucous membrane
and prevent and cure hay fever trou
bles.
