"Do not stir. / am going to extract
all the defective teeth in your mouth,
and you will not have any more TO
pay than if one was taken out"
But l have only come for one"
replied the patient, young man, who
was already suffering horribly.
II tell yoT that l shall extract the
lot, and instead of thanking me you
object. You see that revolver. Well,
if you move l shall shoot you" and
the dentist laid a revolver on table
by him.
The Iuckless patient, perceiving that
he had fallen into the hands of luna
tic, resigned himself to his fate, and
had an awful time. When, however,
it was all over, the dentist was as good
as his word. He only asked for a
very trifling sum, and after eXpress-
ing the hope that his victim would
send him some customers, and would
himself return some day, bade him
farewell AS soon rs the young man
was clear of the place he proceeded
TO the nearest police station with the
story OF his woes, and the dentist, who
was known TO have beel in queer
state of mind for some time, has been
removed to an asylum. But this will
not restore the lost grinders, and the
patient has received such a shock to
his system that some time must elapse
before he can be himself again.-Paris

Sunerstitions of Farmers.

Farmers stick to the moon" in
regard to planting corn and other
crops. Some of them will not under
any circumstances plant corn in
moonlight nights, claiming that corn
planted then will produce tall
stalk with a short ear Others just
as successful plant when they are
ready, when nights are dark or
moonlight, as the case may be.
Other notions are indulged in,
such as throwing the cobs inrunning
water to keep corn from firing. Some
farmers would under no considera-
tion burn pinder hulls, the seed Of
which is TO be used for planting;
they must be scattered along a path
or highway, to be trodden upon in
order to secure a good crop.

rhn Point of the rrorerb.

An old proverb advises the shoe
maker TO stick TO his last. 1t means
that man always succeeds best at
the business he knows. To the farmer
it means, stick 10 your plow; to the
blacksmith. stick TO your forge; to the
painter. stick to your brush. When we
make experiments out of our line they
are likely to prove expensive failures.
1t is amusing, however, to remark
how every one of us secretly thinks he
could do some other fellows work bet
ter than the other fellow himself. The
painter imagines he can make paint
better than the paint manufacturer;
the farmer thinks he can do a job of
painting better, or at least cheaper
than the painter, and so on.
A farm hand in one of Octave
Thanet's stories tells the Walking Del
egate of the Painters Union, ANY
body can slather paint" and the old
lire painter tells the paint salesman,
"None Of your ready made mixtures
for me; reckon / ought to know how
TO mix paint"
The farm hand is wrong and the
painter is wrong: Shoemaker, stick
10 your last" The fancy farmer"
can farm, of course, but it is an ex-
pensive amusement. If it strikes him
as pleasant 10 grow Strawberries at
fifty cents apiece, or to produce eggs
that cost him five dollars dozen, it
is a form of amusement, TO be sure, II
he can afford it, but it's not farming.
If farmer likes TO slosh around with
a paint brush and can afford the time
and expense of having a practical
painter. do the job right pretty soon
afterward, it's harmless form of
amusement. If the painters customers
can afford TO stand for paint that
comes off in half the time it should,
they have perfect right 10 indulge
his harmless vanity about his skill in
paint making. But in none Of these
cases does the shoemaker stick to his
last.
There is Just one class of men in
the world that knows how TO make
paint properly and have the facilities
for doing it right; and that is the paint
manufacturers-the makers of the
standard brands of ready-prepared
paints. The painter mixes paints; the
paint manufacturer grinds them to-
gether. In good ready-prepared paint
every particle of one kind Of pigment
is forced TO join hands with particle
of another kind and every bit Of solid
matter is forced, as it were, to open its
mouth and drink in its share of linseed
oil. That is the only way good paint
can be made, and if the painter knew
low to do 1t he has nothing at hand to
do it with. A paint pot and a paddle
are poor substitute for power-mixers,
buhr-mills and rolier-mills.
The man who owns building and
neglects to paint it as often as it needs
paint is only degree more short
sighted than the one who tries to do
his own painting or allows the painter
to mix his paint for him. PIG.

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review Of
Trade says:
Higher temperature accelerates
the movement of seasonable mer-
chandise and improves agricultural
conditions, except where the precipi-
tation has been insufficient. The
season was somewhat backward on
the farms until this week, but lost
ground is being regained, although
the scarcity Of labor delays opera
tions.
Customary quiet prevails in GER
tain lines that are between seasons,
and mercantile collections are still
irregular, yet the future is regarded
with increasing confidence. Manufac-
turing returns indicate few strikes
and little idle machinery, some sec
tions of the iron and steel industry
having secured contracts covering
output more than a year ahead and
shipments of footwear from Boston

tile mills operate freely, notwithstand-
ing the high prices for raw materials.
Despite the coal strike and inter-
ruption to freight handling at lower
lake ports, railway earnings for the
first week of May were 1912 per cent.
larger than in the corresponding week
last year. Foreign commerce in April
surpassed the same month in any pre-
ceding year. both as TO exports and
imports, and it is especially gratify-
ing to note the gain in shipments of
manufactured products. At New
York for the last week imports gain
ed $3,421 ,929 and exports lost S1,2S0,-
500 in comparison with last years
figures.
Strength still prevails in the hide
market, although large tanners are not
operating freely, but numerous small
orders make a good showing in the
aggregate, and there is no evidence of
trading below full rates. Leather is
well maintained on the whole.

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The Dig sting Element Left Out.

Bread dyspepsia Is common 1t ar
fects the bowels because white bread
Is nearly all starch, and starch is d.
gested in the int2stines, not in the
stomach proper.
Up under the shell of the wheat
berry Nature has provided a curious
deposit which is turned into diastase
when it is subjected to the saliva and
to the pancreatic juices in the human
intestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but that
part of the wheat berry makes dark
-four, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark flour, &" natures val
liable digester is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best it can. without the help that
Nature intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
tonitis, constipation, and all sorts of
trouble exist when we 60 so contrary
to Natures law. The food experts that
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use in their expert
ments of the entire wheat and barley,
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and the
proper conditions for developing the
diastase, outside of the human body.
In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape-sugar in perfectly
natural manner, without the use OK
chemicals or any outside ingredients.
The little sparkling crystals of grape
sugar can be seen on the pieces of
Grape-Nuts. This food therefore is
naturally pre-digested and its use in
place of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use of starch in the
food, and that is very common in the
human race to-day.
The effect of eating Grape-Nuts ten
days or two weeks and the discontin-
uance of ordinary white bread. is very
marked. The user will gain rapidly in
strength and physical and mental
health.

Consul Covert reports that during the

will be held in Lyons, France, a gen.
eral exposition of all electrical devices
that can be applied to domestic uses.
1t will be conducted under the auspices
of the Agricultural and Scientific As
sociation of Lyons, and no motor will
be accepted for exhibition which is
over one-horse power. The object of
the exhibition is to bring cheap cleo
trical appliances nearer TO the people,
in order that the great mass may de-
rive some benefit from them-motors
that may be used on embroidery, sew
ing and knitting machines, ventilators,
vacuum carpet and rug cleaners, house
cleaning machines. floor polishers,
carts for transporting objects, turning
spits in cooking, etc. Motors for
weaving are excluded. They have
been in use in and around Lyons for
the last three years, and it is deemed
advisable to have an exhibition at an
early day expressly for such motors.
