MILLIONS IN TOOTH FILINGS.
In Ten Years 1t Is Estim ated 81 5,OOO,-
600 in Gold Has Been Used.

or the wealth of this country there
Is certain part that has never en-
tered into the reports of the census or
fiscal departments of the government.
There is, if the estimates of men who
should know are to be taken as au-
thoritative, over $l5,000,00O personal
wealth in the shape of gold, of which
the government is entirely ignorant,
or, if not ignorant, has decided not to
mention in its financial reports. Each
year there is over $2,O00,OOO worth of
gold that disappears, says the Boston
Post, that is lost to the moneys of the
world, and yet it is not lost.
More than $2,OOO,O00 worth of gold
is used annually in caring for the
mouths of citizens of the United States
who have been neglectful in the matter
Of their teeth. This 100000 is prac
tically wealth that is fixed in the
mouth Of dentists patient; 1t ceases
to exist as precious metal of impor-
tance in the world of finance, and is
only a plug in tooth, a base article,
lost forever as an article for which
men have fought and died and MUIR
dered and perjured and sold them
selves, since the world began.
The figures seem vast when the
small amount used in making filling
Is considered, but they are undoubtedly
correct. The man in charge of the
gold department of the largest dental
supply house in the country arrived at
these figures after extensive research
and calculations, and his estimate is
verified by other men in position to
know.
Two million dollars taken out OF Its
stock Of gold is the price that the coun-
try pays annually for having its teeth
cared for in an up-to-date manner.
Ten years ago 1t is estimated that
only 20 per cent of the people of this
country ever went to dentist except
to have tooth pulled. Five years ago
the percentage was 33 1-3. Now, 1t is
declared, so per cent of the population
pay visits to the dentists chair for

Lord Curzon's return to India as
viceroy for an additional term beyond
that for which he was originally ap-
pointed, calls attention to the success
Of the British in finding the right men
for administering the affairs OF gov
ernment in their colonies, and their
wisdom in keeping the successful pub
lie servant in office The case Of Lord
Cromer. as the British representative
in Egypt, is another illustration of the
point, and Lord Miner is regarded,
even by those who disapprove his pol
Icy in South Africa. as a brilliant ad-
ministrator. The Americans did not
fall much, if at all, behind the British
when they were called upon to solve
similar problems. Judge Taft proved,
in the Philippines, that he was an ad-
ministratOr of the first rank, and Gov.
Wright, his successor, belongs in the
same class.

moderate manual labor in the pure and
bracing air of the country is just what
these puny, aspwaisted lads need,
and that to send them to the crowded,
unhappy city is to send them to their

swing the sledge, or shove the fore
plane, and their pinched chests will be
expanded, their sunken cheeks plump
