During the American civil war the

adays 1t is the other way about. The
United States census reports show
for the registration states rural
mortality slightly less than that OF
the cities. The difference is so small
that equal efficiency Of registration
would give the lead to rural districts.
The testimony of the census is,
however. open to serious question,
for the census reports place the apex

July. which means that this part OF
the mortality account includes much

Some weeks thereafter a commit

Zeke for the purpose Of presenting
to him. as testimonial of regard and
esteem, gold watch that had been
purchased by the contributions of the
townspeople. The head OF the COM

Zeke and said:
'Mr. Hopkins. 1t is the desire -

Importance Of Keeping Mouth in Good
Condition.
Prof. E. Symes Thompson, Gresham
professor of medicine, in the course
Of an address at the Polytechnic, Re
gent street, on THE Evolution and
Degeneration of the Teeth" remarked
that while the bones of man and ami
mails had decayed greatly during the
past 5000 or 1000 years, the teeth had
been preserved in much better con-
dition. Teeth were not part Of bones,
but part of the skin-they were, in
fact, dermal appendages. Old people
were surprised to find that when the
teeth of the lower jaw departed there
was very little of the jaw left. This
produced what was called the nut
cracker physiognomy. Referring to
the fact that the crocodile had an an
mated toothpick in the form Of
bird, which removed foreign matter,
the lecturer enforced the lesson of
the necessity of attending carefully to
the cleansing of the teeth, and rec
commended attention to them at night
as being more important than in the
morning. In these, modern days. he
said, no chance was given to the
tooth, because everything was cooked
for man, and that was the cause of
the deterioration of our teeth in mod
ern times. Bad teeth, Prof. Thompson
concluded, destroyed good looks

GRIPS UGLY SEQUEL
KNEES STIFF, HANDS HELPLESS,
RHEUMATISM NEAR HEART,

Mrs. Van scoy Experiences Danxrrous
After-Enects from Grip and Learns
Value Of n Blood Kennedy.
The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired di-
gestion and over-sensitive nerves-a
condition that makes the system an easy
prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheuma-
tism. nervous prostration, and even con-
sumption.
The story told by scores of victims Of
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the
base of the skull; another was left tired
faint and in every way wretched from
annmia or scantiness of blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous and
couldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty i'll breathing and
acute neuralgia. In every case relief
was sought in vain until the great blood
builder and nerve-tonic, DIR. Williams
Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and
thoroughness of action nothing is known
that will approach it.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes statement that
supports this claim. She says:
81 had severe attack of grip and, be-
fore had fully recovered, rheumatism
set in and tormented me for three
months. was in badly rundown
state. Soon after it began was so lame
for a week that could hardly walk. It
kept growing steadily worse and at last
1 had to give up completely and for
three weeks was obliged to keep my
bed. My knees were so stiff couldn't
bend them, and my hands We're perfectly
helpless. Then che pains began to
threaten my heart and thoroughly
alarmed me.
