The Habit of Scandal.

Old Mrs. Etheridge had loved gossip
all her life. but. although her ears We're
always ready for it. she schooled her
tongue to disapproval.
Nobody minded what she said, for al.

utter her customary mild reproof her
eyes never failed to express interest
and Il desire for more information
The one phrase which rose to her lips
when the tale was ended had become
so habitual that toward the close of
her life she occasionally employed it
involuntarily.
Have you heard about Edward?'

TEETH AND DIGESTION

The close connection between de-
cayed teeth and diseases Of the dlges-
ton IS pointed out by writer in
Guys Hospital Gazette.
The presence of free acids in the
mouth is particularly harmful. These
may come from various sources. but
most commonly from the acid fermen-
tation OF the carbo hy drate food
lodged on or between the teeth at
the gums. and due to the action of
micro organisms present in the
mouth.
Normally the saliva Is alkaline. and
any acids produced ip the crevices of
the teeth are thus neutralized and de-
cay prevented There are two con-
ditions under which the saliva is un-
able to neutrallze the acids produced
locally. namely IL when it is de-
ticient in alkalinity. aud (2, when i,
Is deficient in quantity As to the
, former. it is we'll known that the sa-
Iva becomes less alkaline or even
acid in any condition of prolonged
gastric digestion. phenomenon
which occurs in nearly all cases ot
dyspepsia. Moreover, the teeth when
I decayed further tend to keep up the
state Of chronic dyspepsia by render
ing mastlcation imperfect A vicious
circle is thus established.
To obviate this form Of dental dis
ease the teeth should be washed fre
que ently with solution Of which one
of the ingredients is bicarbonate of
soda. This mag prevent one of the
most disagreeable results of the dis
ease-facial neuralgia.

Parrots Are Never Nrieinal,

have read of father who would
aot let his children tell their dreams
because there is in such narrative toe
great temptation to wander from the
truth. Parrot stories are too often like
dream stories-one- half true, and they
are sometimes; plainly to any who
knows the true talking power of these
birds-made up entirely or greatly ex-
aggerated. While the parrot has GER
tain unmistakable sense Of humor, and
is correspondingly wise, none of the
various species is or ever was capable
of the original wise and witty talk ia.
miliar to us in newspaper anecdotes.
In fact, the parrot is never original
in speech. It is altogether initiative
and bird that has never heard spoken
words has surely never uttered a sylla-
ble
But, judging from parrots clever use
OF what they learn to say, it is almost
certain that they come to know in a
measure the meaning of the phrases
they learn. Boner in St.

the building of new warehouses and
other improvements Presiuent
Crquhart SAID ID part:
When we began buying grain
little over year ago an attempt was
made to drive us ont of business by
the combined efforts of our competit-
ors to boost prices above the market
value. We simply advised our Gus
toners of the prices others were pay
ing, after weighing aud testing their
grain at our houses. and to sell their
grain to them.
''At stations where we had no ware
house competitors were paying three
and four cents per bushel less for the
same grade of wheat than at our
points. For emergencies of this kind
l would suggest that the bylaws be
amended to contain a provision that
whenever stakeholder shall sell any
gram other than to our own company
where we have a warehouse or ele-
vator, because Of other dealers pay
ing higher prices than the gram will
bring in the rulir g market, he shall
forfeit one-quarter cent for every
bushel sold, this money to be depos-
tied in the sinking fund of thu COM
pany.
Last June we put into operation
our first warehouse a. Davenport,
Wash. Since that time we have
bought and built warehouses at Will
bur, Irby and Thornton, Wash, and
now have plans under way for the
erection of several houses at other
points in the wheat country.
There is no question that the rail
road companies Of this state are at
the present time discriminating
against the Farmers Grain Il Supply
company in not granting us trackage
facilities
An important change was made in
the bylaws as regards voting 20 yer
of the stockholders. It was decided
to allow each stockholder but one
vote instead of according to the num-
ber of shares he may hold, and the
number of proxies allowed to be held
by a single person was limited to
three. This provision was made with
view to preventing any one person
or group of persons from controlling
the stock of the corporation. --Spokes-
