The teeth OF the nation are much
neglected asset and the British Den
tai association has been considering

AFFAIR. Investigations have indicated
that not more than per cent Of all
children of school age have sound
teeth. How great is the influence of
this In retarding the development and
producing weak and improper nourish-
ed bodies cannot easily be estimated
but 1t is doubtless true that much dys-
pepsia and illness have resulted from
poor teeth. In the South African war

Twenty-Five Years For Assault

Within SO hours of his commission of
the crime and after a trial lasting but II
minutes, Edward Gibson, the negro who
made a brutal attack upon Miss Dorothy
Paris near her home, at Wenonah, was
last Friday sentenced to ~ years at hard
labor in the State Prison and to pay a fine
of $4,000 and costs, by Judge Starr, of
Woodbury.. Allowing for the time re-
quired to work out the fine and costs, the
sentence is equivalent to % years.
As Gibson pleaded guilty to the
charge, but little testimony was taken
and no jury was called. The prisoner
seemed utterly Indifferent to his fate
and never WINGED, even when Judge
Starr, in pr%onouncing sentence, thunder
ed: "You are a disgrace to your race,
and it is fortunate for you that you
reside in a l~aw-abiding community. As
a punishment to you and as al example
to any II who may contemplate such
a deed l will impose the full limit of the
law"
Gibson said he would not have done
it if he had not been intoxicated.
