Nothing can be more offensive in man
or woman than foul breath, and no
one can have decaying or dirty teeth
without reaping this consequence. We
/ all know how disagreeable it is TO be

| is positively nauseating. No employer
wants a clerk, or stenographer, or
other employe about him who taints
| the whole atmosphere of the room IN
which he is. Nor does he, if he is at
all particular, want one whose appear
ance is marred by lack of one or two
front teeth. Many an applicant has
been denied the position he sought be
cause of bad teeth.
! How easy it is to preserve them
when they are naturally good! Any
one can do it, Brush them after each
meal with a brush stiff enough to re-
move all particles of food, but not so
stiff as to injure the gums. Warm Oh
| tepid water should be used, with lit
/ tie powdered orris root, which helps to
keep the breath sweet. Any other
good tooth powder may be substituted,
or the occasional use of a little fine
salt will be found beneficial. If fibers
of meat, or particles of any other food
that can not be removed with brush,
lodge between the teeth, they should
be removed by a wooden toOthpick. On
no account use pin, or penknife,
or your fork. In passing, let me add,
do not use toothpick at the table, on
the street, or anywhere else in public.
Nothing can be more ill-brej or dis
gushing. Do not try to crack nuts or
to bite any hard substance with your
teeth. This causes the enamel, or out
er protective covering to break, which
is the same as if you were to break the
skin on any part of your body. When
the enamel is broken the tooth begins
to decay, and severe pain and an I'M
pleasant breath are the results. Vio-
lent changes of temperature, such as
from ice cream to not coffee, also cause
the enamel to break. If, in spite or
proper care, your teeth trouble you,
you should Immediately consult good
dentist. Do not go to a poor one be-
cause he happens to be little cheaper.
You will find that most pernicious
sort of economy. Make any reason
able sacrifice rather than go about with
front tooth or two missing, for, be-
sides seriously interfering with ones
speech, griRning vacancy where a
tooth should be has most injurious
effect on ones appearance. 1t is a
wise thing to have your teeth exam
ined at least once a year by a goou
dentist.-Success.

TRi6UTE TO AN EDITOR.

Philadelphia Press-Theodore
Wright has for q years been the
editorin-chief of the Philadelphia Rec
old. His associates on that paper
seize the anniversary of his long serv.
i've to express by private testimonial
and public tribute their appreciation
of his personal qualities and inspiring
direction. With less association, but
no less admiration, the Press gladly
follows them in heartiest recognition
of his conspicuous leadership in mold
ing public thought.
Through a remarkably successful
career of nearly a generation Mr.
Wright has put his distinct impress
and individuality on the Record. With
personal modesty which shrinks
from anything like self-o5trasion hs

force. His knowledge is as accurate
as it is wide in its range; his high
ideals of public service and duty and
his fidelity in enforcing them are
equally notable. and his lucid. incisive,
pungent writing makes his articles as
attractive in manner as they are
strong in matter. He has the rare
editorial power, with various capable
writers, of giving the effect Of perfec,

TEETH AND DIGESTION.

The close connection between de-
cayed teeth and diseases of the diges-
ton is pointed out by a writer in Guys
Hospital Gazette.
The presence of free acids in the
mouth is particularly harmful. These
NAV come from various sources. but
most commonly from the acid ferment-
alton of the carbohydrate food lodged
on or between the teeth at the gums,
and due to the action of micrO-organ-
isms present in the mouth.
Normally the saliva is alkaline, and
any acids produced in the crevices Of
the teeth are thus neutralized and de-
cay prevented. There are two condi-
lions under which the saliva is unable
to neutralize the acids produced local
ly, namely: % when it is deficient in
alkalinity, and 90 when it is deficient
in quantity. AS to the former, it is
well known that the saliva becomes
less alkaline or even acid in any con-
dition of prolonged gastric digestion,
a phenomenon which occurs in nearly
all cases of dyspepsia. Moreover, the
teeth when decayed, further tend to
keep up the state of chronic dyspepsia
by rendering mastication imperfect. A
vicious circle is thus established
To obviate this form of dental dis
ease the teeth should be washed fire.

Adufteration of Cod-Liver Oil.

The foreign fish oils used fol
adulteration by some dealers are
mostly those from coalfsh, cusk. ling,
and haddock. 1t is claimed that no
adulterstion is practiced by the manu-
facturers in Lofoten during the winter
fisheries, and that the oil made there
at that time is exclusively extracted
from the livers of cod, for the reason
that no other fish is caught there
after those fisheries begin, it appear
ing that the cod drives all other
species away from the banks Chemt
Gals are not used for adulteration. as
far as | can learn, except that some
few manufacturers employ very
small percentage of sulphuric acid
during the steaming process in order
to facilitate the extraction of the oil.
Ii cod-liver oil is mixed with oils from
livers of fish nearly related to the
cod, such as oils from coalfish, had.
dock, ling, and cusk and the ad-
mixture is 10 per cent or less. the
adulteration is difficult to prove by
analysis. The genuine medicinal cod,
liver oil is of light amber color: the
odor is slight. The adulteration OF
cod-liver oil is said to have been I'M
known, at least in Norway, prior to
the last couple of years. Oil from
coalfish brought very moderate prices
in the Lofoten islands prior to 1903,
but that year it was in great demand
by buyers from Aalesund and Bergen,
who paid at one time $40 per barrel
for the refined article. The oil OF
cusk has been refined in prior years
also, but it was in much greater dc
mand in 1908 than formerly. bringing
as high as s64 per barrel. These oils
are refined in the Lofoten islands
mostly in the summer season. and the
genuine cod-liver oil in the winter
1t is no secret that these oils are
largely used for adulteration of cod
liver oil.-United States Consult Gen

OUR NAVY BOTTLED UP IN 1912.

Despite the gathering of the storm,
the full force of which was to be ex
pectcd in the spring, the United
States ships-of-war that reached port
in the early and middle winter OF
1928 remained. There is. perhaps,
an unrecognized element of hind
sight" in the surprise felt at this fact
by seaman of today knowing the
views and wishes of the prominent
officers of the navy at that period.
Decatur, with the United States,
reached New York in December, &C.
companied by the Macedonian.
Neither of these vessels got to sea
again during the war. By the time
they were ready to sail. both out
lets to the port were effectually
blocked. Rodgers, with the president
and congress, entered Boston Deem
Der 31st, but did not leave again until
April g. The Constellation, Captain
Stewart. is reported, perhaps err
roneously, as nearly ready for sea at

Euchred by the Women.

Some men in New Jersey town
formed an association to break up
women's euchre clubs on the ground
that the clubs were interfering with
the home duties of the players. The
resourceful wives, deprived of their
euchre, retaliated by starving out the
invaders of their pleasures, and the
ultimatum, mo euchre for the women,
no dinners for the men," bottled up
the masculine squadron in a gastrono-
mic Port Arthur, with no hope but un-
conditional surrender.-Baltimo

THE KLoNDYkE DENTIST.

High prices often prevail in frontier
towns, and those who live in new set
Elements become accustomed to the
charges and think little about them.
A man who recently returned from the
Klondyke tells good story.
People get used to paying big
money for trifies," he said, "and
two dollars box for sardines or five
dollars for a pound of bad coffee came
to be regarded as reasonable prices.
But once / had the surprise of hear
ing an Unexpectedly low price named.
It was like this: | had a jumpina
toothache-was nearly wild with it
and went to shanty where was told
there was a dentist. A rough-lookine
fellow told me that he was the den

tooth. He looked me over, got his
forceps fastened on my tooth and
yanked it out after a couple of HARD
twists.
How much?' | asked.
Well. two dollars, / guess said
the dentist.
II paid him, although my jaw still
ached badly.
That's the cheapest thing I've
seen round here l remarked, as
gave him the money.
Well ne said, 4 thought I'd make

light i pulled the wrong tooth

A MAY MORNING.


Come stand awhile upon yon south
ward slope
Commanding from it's gently rising
breast
A fair, wide outlook Ger the pleasant
fields;
Over the winding river; far away
To stern New England hills but late
ly clothed
In springs apparel 'Tis the month of
May.
These hills and valleys many a chang.
ing garb
the year
Through twelve swift months; and as
this fleeing day
Its morning wonder spreads upon the
trees
And verdant greensward, summon all
thy powers
Fresh in a perfect morn-and strive to
snatch
The meaning forth from this one
earthly scene,
From this one passing hour. Might'st
thou indeed
But speak the half of all that lies
revealed
Before thy very eyes, in characters
Belittling all expression, straight the
world
Would listen in amaze, and down the
years
phU name would Immortal
Heaven is here!
Man knows not how to view the mir
acle
Nor dreams that it were worth an
empires price
If unreproached he might look forth
Such wondrous purity. His heart, alas !,
On bare, material things too oft is
fixed.
The centuries reek with blood that he
has shed.
To hold poor possession, for space,
Over the flashing bauble that he styles
A gem Thy lifetime's span, though
well prolonged,
Might scarce suffice thee that with
Jealous care
Perchance with blightings of thy bet
ter self
Thou shouldest of the finer sort amass
A paltry handful.
Gaze about thee now
The early dew lies fresh upon the
fields
Der which the ascending sun with
lavish wealth
Pours morning beams. The myriad
million blades
Of tender grass that clothe the wide
expense
Of yaried-sloping land, on every side,
Bear each dewy tribute to the day.
IT'S marvelous!-a countless multitude
OF rarest jewels flash and scintillate
Up yonder beauteous knoll, around thy
feet,
And down the gentle sloping fields that
lure
Thy wondering gaze away to blossom
ing trees.
These be the riches of the pure in
heart.
9 blessed Spirit that all things in
forms!
Show us that better wealth than
monarch's rule
Thy riches, better treasures that lie
Fore'er unguarded, yet inviolable;
None, though they seem to enter, may
lehold,
Save whom thou wilt, thine inner
sanctuary.

VIOLATION OF REVENUE LAWS.
rncle Sans Officials After the Offenders.

Uncle Sans Officials After the Offenders.
Numerous violations of the internal
revenue laws have lately been discover
ed in several counties where the Maine
prohibitOry laws have been rigidly en-
forced by local or county officers. The
revenue laws prohibit transfers Of tax
receipts from one person to another.
The holding of revenue tax by a Ii
quor dealer is, under the State law,
prima facie evidence Of sale, and such
evidence is often used by sheriffs in
obtaining nuisance indictments. To
escape prosecution under that clause
of the statute some of the saloon keep
ers in Maine have lately resorted to
the substitution of fictitious names, or
the names of their bartenders or out
siders, in applying for the government
tax receipt. In some instances they are
said to have been advised by local at
torneys that the government would be
satisfied, regardless of what name ap-
peared on the application. Special reve-
nue. officers who are covering Maine
cities are said to have found many such
cases and have enforced the revenue
law, obliging the proprietors to make
out new applications, pay the tax bill
again and the penalty of half the
amount of the tax, though on the walls
of their saloons were hanging receipts
showing that the tax had already been
paid in the names of others.-Portland

Nantucket Fishermen See Probable Source
of Income.
What will mean source of large in
come to the Nantucket fishermen, if
successful, is the shipping to the New
York markets of dog fish, portion of
which, it is understood, is cut into
steaks, and sold as species OF white
fish. Heretofore these fish have been
considered pest, driving off into deep
water any smaller fish that may be
approaching the shoals near the shore.
Some years ago they were caught with
hook and line and sold for their livers,
from which high grade of oil was Sc.
cured, and the earcasses were then
turned over to farmers, who used them
as fertilizer
During the past summer and at pres
ent they are lowering around the island
shores in large numbers and in some
instances these schools have come into
the harbor. They have been captured in
large quantities in the bluefish nets. In
one instance there were more than 1000
in the steamer Petrel's traps in the
vicinity of Great point. There were
scarcely any other fish to be found, SO
Capt. Manter of the steamer, communi-
Gated with the New York market, with
the result that the following day he
shipped to New York several hundred,
iced and packed just as mackerel, soup
or bluefish would be.

The Rough Riders.

Woe to the lords of the land oppressed
= When the flowing tide runs strong,
With freight of hate on its sullen breast
And the vengeance that waited long!
They ruled the isle with rod of steel;
With scourge they snote it sore,
TIL its manhood broke, for it would not
kneel,
And it knew its sons no more
But back to the land of love and woe
They came to demand their own;
And a scoffing world looked on, till 10!
1t saw they came not alone.
For out of the North and out of the South
And out Of the East and West,
Welcome as rain to land of drOuth
Went our bravest and our best.
Nothing they feared, alive or dead;
They were not of the fearSOme kind
They followed wherever their captain led,
And his place was not behind.
Well to the fore in every fray,
First on the crest of San Juan height,
They fought in the straight Rough Rider
way
AS their captain loves to fight.
They cleared the isle of the tyrant horde;
They gave it into its peoples hand
God send one day such another sword
For another captive land.
But work is now for the Rider bold,
To clear the land that he loves the best
OF its evildoerS and evils old
And many civl. plague and pest.
What our captain says he will surely do ;
What our captain does will not be iii;
And the millions behind him here are true
AS the Riders who rode at san Juan Hill.

Charlotte Mans Buck Fever.
Blazed Away at SO Yards with n Shot Gun at
Herd of Deer and None Fell.

Herd OF Deer and None Fell.
CALAIS, Nov. 2. A Charlotte man
was the victim of a most distressing
attack of buck fever, one day recently,
and he hasn't recovered from the shock
yet. He was at work in the field near
the station of the Washington County
railway when eight nice deer marched
across the field and proceeded to feed
upon windfalls in the orchard about so
yards from where he was standing. The
man had stout gun and a dozen car
tridges loaded with buck shot, so he felt
that his hunting was over for this year,
so far as deer was concerned. Selecting
a fine buck as his first victim he opened
fire, but the animal was still feeding un-
concernedly. He fired again at the buck
and then at the flock generally, but
strange to say not hair did he disturb,
and when all his cartridges were gone,
the deer turned about and ambled leis-
urely toward the birch grove nearby,
apparently not the least disturbed by
the vigorous but ineffective lombard
ment to which they had been subjected,
leaving a much disguised marksman
staring helplessly after them. He was
inclined to think that his cartridges
were all blanks until he examined the
trees among which the deer were feed
ing and found them we'll peppered with
leaden pellets.
