DENTISTRY OF LONG AGO.
Proof That Ancients Had Some De.
gree Of skill in Art.

While unthoughtful moderns regard
dentistry as being virtually a science
OF our own age, archaeologists know
that II was practiced among the an
clients. The museums Of Rome and
other places in Italy possess various
specimens of dentists work dating
from before Christ, and another such
specimen has recently been discover
ed in the jaws Of a skeleton found in
tomb at Teano The skeleton is
that OF a woman, and from the Jaws
there was extracted a gold mount
containing six teeth. A peculiar fact
about the find is that the teeth, al.
though Mapped" with gold, were IN.
doubtedly natural, and the theory is
that the ancients used gold flaps or
rims to steady loose teeth. For arti.
iicial teeth the dentists of the old
world had fancy for animal teeth.
especially bovine, by reason Of their
ardness. though occasionally a per

BONDED PORTS.
Sec. Shaw Makes Suggestion for the
Employment of American Labor
on Free Raw Material.

concord. n. II. = Secretary Shaw
spoke before the New Hampshire
Board OF trade here Wednesday even
ing On the subject, "A foreign Market
for American Labor" He developed
an idea OF bonded factories on a large
scale, saying in part:
Merchandise can now be produced
from imported material in bonded fac
tories. 1t seems to be safe and wise
to carry the logic of this provision one
step further and have bonded or free
ports.
Without attempting a lengthy elab-
Grafton Of the idea / content myself
with throwing out the suggestions.
Suppose instead of bonded factory
we bond well defined section of
land containing several thousand
acres. Within this bonded territory
all kinds of factories could be en-
tered withSut the payment of duty.
This port should of course contain
no dwellings. l would allow free coal
and every other element of manufac-
ture, except labor, to be entered free
In other words, this free port should
be a great consumer of American la
bor, the product of which under the
most encouraging conditions, should
be for export and for export only. If
1t was removed from the port for
the purpose of domestic consumption
it should pay the same duty as if i'm
ported from abroad.

"soap Sense"

The difference in cost between a
poor toilet soap and a good toilet
soap such as Buchan's soap, is a cent
or two per week. The difference in
results, though, cannot be measured
in money. The cheap soap made from
impure fat and powerful aIkali, irri-
tates the skin and results in all kinds
OF skin trouble. Buchan's Antisep-
tic Soap, however, is not only abso-
lutely pure and a fine cleanser, but it
contains Phenol Absolut, an ideal an
tiseptic protecting the user against
contamination. If your dealer does
not keep it send his name and ad-
dress with Is cents to Buchan's Soap
Corporation, New York, and they will
send you a full size cake.
