FALSE TEETH FOR SOLDIERS.
A British Dentist Thinks Prevention
Better Than Cure.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mail.
The war office has already got to work
upon It's plan for supplying sets of false
teeth gratis to soldiers who have lost their
teeth "as result of active service" and
local dentists have been approached in vari-
Gus centcrs with the offer of army work.
The price allowed by the war office to the
dentists IS only Fl for extraction Including
thetic. and whatever the number OF
teeth and from 70 les. to "a los for the
artificial substitutes. This is not consider
ed by the dentists to be a liberal price, In
asmuch under the present plan the SOL
der does not come into the dentists hands
at all until he is practically rendered in
ca pa BILE of duty through loss or decay of his
teeth.
One of the official dentists says that near
ly all the teeth lost or ruined in the South
African war We're damaged by the bis
cults. The soldiers aver that the biscuits
were almost hard granite. and that
1t was impossible to eat them unless they
were soaked overnight or boiled in fat. In
stances are numerous Of men whose teeth
were broken to pieces. and who came home
with d mouth full of jagged edges.
But according to the official dentist, the
war office plan starts al the wrong end so
far as soldiers enlisted since the war are
concerned. The war office idea is that these
men shall wait until they are incapacitated
for want of sound teeth. and then be sent
to the dentist for set. The dentists
experience is that men with one or two de-
cayed teeth are not sent to have their
teeth repaired. and the repair of teeth is
no part OF tire new plan New sets of false
teeth for old sets of natural ones is the
war office idea. What ought to be done in
professional opinion is to appoint dentists
who shall regularly examine the teeth of
every soldier in the army-twice year
and keep the mems teeth in good repair
Recruits have to possess sufficient num-
Der of good teeth on joining the army. and
the obvious thing To do would be to pre-
vent their teeth from decaying.
The array dentist should stop
crown" decaying teeth. 50 that most men
would never require the false set now
tcinptingly offered. The regular inSpec-
ton and mendinS of teeth would probably
be less expensive than the provision OF
new sets. and it would raise the standard
of health in the army and decrease the pro-
portion of inefticients.

Ruskin in Ethics of the Dust chapter OF
Crystal Sorrows"
God ploughed one day with an earthquake,
And drove his burrows deep!
The budding plains upstarted,
The hills all a.ieap!
But that Is the mountains secret,
Age-hidden In their breast:
Gods peace Is everlasting
Are the dream words of their rest.
He hath made them the haunt Of His beauty,
The home elect Of His grace;
He spreadeth His mornings on them.
His sunsets light their face.
The people OF tired cities
Come up to their shrnes and pray;
God freshens again within them,
As He passes by all day.
And 10, have caught their secret,
The beauty deeper than all.
This faith-that life's hard moments,
When the Earring sorrows befaH.
Are but God ploughing His popptatnsi
And those mountains yet shall be
The source of His grace and freshness
And His peace everlasting to me-

A New Mine Will Be Opened
on Land Owned by Frank
Corey
A THICK VEIN is DISCOVERED
The Coal. Which Is of Good Quality, Is
Similar to That Which Is Being
Mined in Lehqh and Which Is Con-
sidered the Best Iowa coal-Demand
Increasing.

Special to Times Republican.
Lehigh Aug. 21.-A AZ foot vein OF
coal has been struck on land owned by
Frank Carey, just this side Of Carbon
and near FIT. Dodge. Carey who has
had a great deal of experience in the
coal mining business and who IS veal
thy. has had a prospector at work for
some time. 1t has been determined to
a good quality. similar to that they are
mining in Lehigh, which is considered
the best Iowa coal. The drilling IS
being continued with view of locating
the best point in the basin where the
shaft will be sunk at once, so as to en-
able the company to get the mine open
ed on large scale by the time the
heavy coal season is at hand.
Mr.. Corey is proprietor of the Corey
Coal Company of this place and has
been a successful operator in Lehigh
for nearly % years. Mr.. Stephens has
been his superintendent of mines for
nearly Is years, they both are practical
coal men and are very enthusiastic over
the extent Of the coal found on this
land The new mine will be equipped
with modern machinery so as to be able
to produce a large amount of coal in a
short time.
Coal of the quality found on Mr. Cor
ey's land has become quite scarce in
the vicinity of Carbon and this new find
will Insure supply for the various
stucco mills in that vicinity and the
manufacturing plants OF TT. Dodge as
we'll as preventing a domestic shortage
in that city such as was experienced
last winter.
The demand for coal for domestic
and manufacturing purposes is increas-
ing and this fact induces Mr.. Corey to-
commence operations on his lands near
Carbon, where he has known for sew
eral years there was q good vein of
coal. He has proven himself close
observer of conditions and has shown
good judgement in not having opened
this field OF coal in previous years. and
thrown 1t upon the market at time
when the demand was not equal toI
the supply.
The management Of the business will
be conducted by f. A. Ayres manager
Of the Corey Coal Co, from the office
in Lehigh.
The new mine to be opened will mark
an epoch in the history in the coal in
dustry of Webster county.
