Good Denifrice.

For the teeth, a good and harmless
dentrifice is composed of two parts
powdered orris root and one part each
of prepared chalk and CASTLE soap. To
clean the teeth, put equal parts Of salt
and cooking soda in thin muslin rag
and rub the teeth with that. The salt
strengthens the gums and the soda Is
harmless If the mouth is well rinsed
after its use. aJ- T U ~

Lawrence Gazette: Have you
stopped to think what will happen
uuder a direct state primary II there
should happen to be half dozen can
didates for one Office, as so frequently
is the caseP Suppose, for instance
that Smith, Jones, Brown and White
ARE candidates for governor. Smith
gets $4,000 votes, Jones 1900, Brown
1000, and White 1900. Smith gets
the nomination, although $4,000 Of
his party associates have voted
hgainst him. Practically only one
fourth Of his party want him. and
three fourths have said they do not
want him. The direct primary is all
right in small districts and when
only two men are running for the
same Office, 10 large ones, but 1t is an
experiment iraught with the gravest
danger to the party and the state.

Coming Into Its Own.

One of the reasons for the strength
in the general business situation at
this time is the VESTS growing abil-
ity to finance its larger business trans
actions. This years crop moving
will be done by western money to o
larger extent than ever before, says
the Globe Democrat. The aggregate
crop yield Of 1906 will apparently be
greater than in any previous year,
and the west will handle the work it,
SELF, with but very little aid from
New York.
Moreover, the west is consuming
more Of its own crops than ever be-
fore. Under that wise Republican
policy which has planted the factory
beside the farm the west is being
dotted with mills Of all sorts. The
center Of manufactures is following
the population center in its westward
march. Right at its own door the
western farmer has a market now for
much Of his produce and this gives
him an independence which was lack
ing in the old days. The west is
getting rich. Its mortgages on its
farms and other property are being
paid of at a rate undreamed Of dur
ing the days Of industrial stagnation
and general dependency in Cleve-
lands second term as president. Re-
publican prosperity is experienced by
the west in a direct and emphatic
way in 1906, and this is not only
helping the stock market, but it is
strengthening the general business
situation throughout the country.

Judge A. D. Nortoni, OF the st.
Louis court Of appeals, is quoted as
telling a foolish story. The story is
to the effect that for years he suffered
with dyspepsia, and ate very sparing-
ly. One day he met an old friend
who invited him to dinner. The
Judge told OF his dilemma, but the
friend said: "Just remember the ap-
petite you had when you were boy"
The dinner came on the table and was
very hearty. The judge stuffed him
self, and has never had any trouble
since. OF course the story is the
rankest nonsense, says Ed Howe. II
man with q weak stomach should
eat 3 very hearty meal, be would run
the risk Of killing himself. So much
Of the stuff printed in the newspapers
is unreliable. The great need Of the
country is newspapers that will print
accurate information that may be
relied upon.

minister to our cares here but
through Gods grace, they Will
greet us IN heaven.
