PROPER KISSING.
If You Want Your Lover to Love You,
Have Good Teeth.

If You Want Your Lover to Love You,
Have Good Teeth.
There are a good many people in
love, and love leads to kisses. At
least, if it does not Immediately lead
to kisses, it is usual that fond persons
while conversing cit near each other.
At such time they can see whether
each has nice, white set of teeth or
not. And it is more than likely that
if either has neglected his, or her,
teeth. the resulting offensive breath
will be noticeable to the other person.
The question is: Are fine, white,
perfect teeth admirable and attractive?
Will they tend to enhance your charms
in the eyes of your lover? Will yellow
teeth, or the pungent odors that exude
from uncleaned or decaying teeth, have
the opposite effect upon one who otner.
wise might be fond oftyoo?
Aside entirely from the fact that it is
more comfortable and practically help
full to have perfect teeth and keep them
in good order, you should not forget
that the very persons whom you would
wish most to like you may be strongly
repelled by neglected or foul condi-
tion of your teeth.
These considerations ara eminently
sensible things for people to consider.
They are suggested by recent talk
with DR.. W. A. Wise, of the famous
dental firm, Wise Brothers, Failing
building, Portland, Oregon. This firm
is probably the most up-to-date concern
in the Northwest. They put teeth in
order without causing any pain, and
their prices are extremely moderate.
The moral OF this story is that levers
should not neglect their teeth. There
are probably $4,000 bad toothed lovers
within SO miles of Portland, all of
whom should go Immediately to Wise
Brothers and get fixed up for proper
kissing.

indeed, had his own banking account,
his earnings, amounting to some thou
sands a year, being credited in his

Guilty in keeping them off and much of
her clothing was torn or gnawed

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
famed condition of the mucous lig lg of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have q rumblfng sound OF imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the tnflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube restored to
forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

- SLEEPY GRASS"
It Has a Sedative Effect Upon ali
Horses Eating of 1t.

There is a species of grass, Stipa
vaseyi, growing In the mountains Of
New Mexico and in some of the neigh
boring regions, that has the remarkable
effect of putting to sleep every horse
that eats 1t. Until recently there have
been only vague and unauthentic ac-
counts of 1t. But at a recent meeting
of the Washington Biological Society,
Vernon Bailey, an official of the Biolo-
gical Survey, described the effects Of
this grass on the horses of the explor-
ing party of which he had charge last
year.
They had camped in the Sacramento
Mountains in New Mexico, at an alti-
tude of about eight thousand feet.
Their horses had just been turned loose
to Craze on grass that had an abund-
ance Of green blades and tall heads full
of ripe seeds, when a passing ranch
man warned them that 1t was sleepy
grass" and added, 'If they get good
feed of. that grass you will not get out
of here for a week" After the horses
had grazed about half an hour the
warning was needed, and the horses
were picketed In another spot.
The next morning all the horses were
drOWsy, and one was sound asleep,
standing with legs braced and ears
and lower lip dropping in most un-
usual and grotesque fashion. He had
almost to be dragged to camp, and
would not eat his oats or drink water.
He preferred to sleep. All the horses
were sleepy for about three days, but
no i'll effects followed, except profuse
sweating while travelling and little
loss of flesh from preferring to sleep
instead of eating full rations.
The range horses are said never to
eat sleepy grass, and those that are
brought into the region where it grows
and turned loose eat of it only once.
Horses that were thought to have
strayed and were lost for days have
been finally found asleep in the bushes
near camp. Cattle are said either not
to be affected by eating this grass or
to refuse to eat it. The exact facts are
not known. 1t is possible that when
more is known about this sleepy grass,
an extract may be made from 1t which
will be of use as a sedative.
