trba+ same evening Prince Radolin. now Am
Russia heard the story of the incident from his

make representations in the proper quarter
apaiost the gratuitous manner in which a mem

prince Radolin shook his head. He was des-

Where Teeth Are Worshiped.

An American traveler recently delivered a lecture before a. distinguished audience at the home of wealthy New Yorker. On the table before him stood one lone object.
 Said the traveller, While was in h. dia three Royal Commissioners were sent there by the King of Siam to negotate for the purchase of a certain tooth. They failed in their mission, however, their offer of the surprising sum of $250,000 for the much coveted tooth, being declined.
 The tooth In question came, as the Hi-dus believe, from out the mouth of Buddha-the founder of the foremost re- liglon of the Orient-and hence for 2400 years that tooth has been an object of worship.
 Tt Is enclosed in a golden caslSet in shrine fin the Great Inner Temple at Randy, and attracts thousands of wor- shipping pilgrims from far and near every year. and has never been exposed to the gaze of an unbeliever.
 "In hundreds of other shrines in India the teeth of human beings are worshiped by Hndus, who, above al value good teeth as the reward of good ancestry and of eternal vigilance In the care of the body.
 We Americans can certainly learn q lesson from the Hindu worship of teeth the lesson of respect for one of the most important parts of our bodies, For good teetn are not only veritable jewels in th3 mouth of beauty, but indicate good health good breeding and refined habits.
 And here," concluded the lecturer. holding up a blue enameled box of tooth powder, with it's patent telescopic meas urng tube is a dentfrice that is used by people of refinement in every part of the world where the use of a tooth brush is known. It bears the label of Dr. l. w. Lyons Perfect Tooth Powder. and is the shrine at which thousands upon thousauds today express respect for their teeth, for it not only cleanses, preserves and beautihes them but imparts a natural fragrance to the breath I, myself, have carried Dr Lyon's Perfect Tooth Powder twice around the world not being will ing to trust the preservation of my teeth to any other dentifrice."
