The Teeth.

The accumulation of tartar on the
teeth makes them unsightly and is Of
ten the cause Of bad breath. IF the
teeth are properly brushed each day
tartar will not have the chance to ac-
cumulate, but If it has already been
allowed to do so it can be removed by
very simple treatment. Moisten the
toothbrush in warm water and dip
it, into magnesia. Rub on tho teeth,
and after three. applications the tar
tar will have entirely disappeared.

mcStic corporations. The decision Of
the Colorado case is quoted at length.
Tn conclusion Justice Gary says:
"Under the act Of 1893, hereinbc-
fore mentioned, the petitioner, upon
being permitted to do business in this
state, was subject only to such liza abili-
ties and duties as were imposed on
natural born citizens Of the state Of
thr United States and as the citizens
Of this safe engaged in business Of
like character with the petitioner,
were not required to pay license fee
il could not be enacted Of the peti-
tioner.
"It is the judgment of this court
that the prayer Of the petitioner be
granted.'
The comptroller general estimated
that the revenues Of the state were
affected to the amount Of about $780,
600 under this decision. Attorneys in
t"rcsted in other corporations stated
that the tax on domestic corporations
might also be affected by reason of
the point that these should not be
taxed when foreign corporations do
ing the same business were exempt. 4
further test Of the case may be made.
