A CHINESE DENTIST.
HE Simple Way Of Patching a Gap In
q Patiently Teeth.

Patients Teeth.
How crude IL the dentistry OF the
humber inhabitants of modern China
Is disclosed by the Rev. John Mac
Gowan in the following bit Of descrip-
tion published in the North China Dial
~ News: Right in front Of us on the
street doctors table is a small heap Of
teeth, not manufactured by any cum
ming workman, but by the subtle al
chemy Of nature. They are OF all sizes
and conditions. There are huge molars
that have done yeoman service In the
past and even teeth strong and deter
mined looking and worn, as though
they had failed In the battle OF life
and had come here to end their days.
They were all marked and discolored
with the signs and symbols Of the wear
and tear they had gone through They
were a grewsome sight to look upon,
and wondered much how such a curl.
Gus collection could have been gath
cred together. Where did you get
these fromT asked the doctor, point
ing to the heap, which, however, was
careful not TO touch.
"'oh, bought themP he replied.
When man has to part with tooth
he continued, he does not throw 1t
away. He brings It TO me, and buy
II for few cash, for he knows that
In my profession 1t will come in handy
some time or other Just as he was
speaking patient came up to him. On
being asked what he wanted he re-
piled simply by opening his mouth to
the very widest extent 1t was a huge
cavern and reminded one OF the en-.
trance to the Thames tunnel. 1t was
seen that his four upper front teeth
were wanting, having been knocked
out by a fall from wall, and he was
anxious to know II the doctor could
supply their places with new ones.
"'Of course cam he promptly re-
piled, and, measuring the cavity in the
jaw, he carefully and with practiced
eye selected from the heap the four
teeth that would exactly ali It. He
then drilled hole In them Longitude
nally and inserted a bit of coarse iron
wire to bind them to each other. The
ends of the wire were next inserted in
holes that were carefully drilled into
the teeth on each side of the cavity.
and az once the chasm disappeared,
and the crowd that had been looking
on with critical eyes declared that his
mouth looked as natural as though the
new ones were those with which
kind nature had originally supplied
him."

ing advice by an eminent authority, who
writes for readers of large Eastern

by those who suffer.
Get from any good pharmacy half
ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces
OF Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake
these well in bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime; also drink plenty ofgood water.
1t is claimed that there are few victims
of this dread and torturous disease who
will fail to find ready relief in this simple
home made mixture, and in most cases a
permanent cure is the result
This simple recipe is said to strengthen
and cleanse the eliminative tissues of the
Kidneys SO that they can filter and
strain from the blood and system the
poisons, acids and waste matter, which
cause not only Rheumatism, but numer-
GUS other diseases. Every man or
woman here who feels that their kidneys
are not healthy and active, or who suffers
from any urinary trouble whatever,
should not hesitate to make up this
mixture, as it iscertain to do much good,
and may save you from much misery and
suffering after a while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix the
prescription ready to take if our readers
ask them.

The December meeting of the w. c. T.

Simonds last week Tuesday. Mrs. H. N
Turner led the devotional exercises, the
secretary's report was given by Mrs. T.

charge. Mrs. T. P. Farrell read an article
on Prohibition in Georgia" speaking of
the wonderful turn for good that had
been made. Georgia entered as prohibit
ton state Jan. list. During the cam
paign the w. c. T. u, the Ministerial
association, and the Anti-Saloon League
of Georgia all worked together and the
results all the world knows. Credit was
given the w. c. T. u of that state for
having more influence than any other or
ganization in this line of work. Echoes
of the National convention" in Georgia
was read by Mrs. Sarah Marshall and
she told how the leaders of the convention
emphasized the fact that alcohol must be
done away with and every means pos
sible was being taken to abolish the sa-
looms. Apaper on Freedom in Georgia"

Georgia's freedom has ceased in regard
to the liquor question and she has a strict

cider is fancifuIly supposed to be the

The brutal murder Saturday night in
the little town of Sutton in Caledonia
county demonstrates once more the ter
rible consequences Of liquor when taken
to excess, and every man who drinks the
vile stuff is liable sooner or later to tenn
porarily lose control of his faculties. If
this brute would have but turned the
weapon on himself first the community
would not have met with an irreparable
loss. 1t is worthy of note in this con-
nection that Sutton is a no-license town
as are also all towns in that county.
Il Vergennes Enterprise and Vermonter.
1t may be that over-indulgence in in
toxicating liquor was the direct cause of
the ghastly Sutton murder and suicide,
but at this distance it would appear that
insanity was the first cause and the
drinking of the day of the crime but an
incidental St. Adams Messenger.

New Years Greetings.
The Country Church


]
Beside the quiet village street,
AtrOnt the meadows green and sweet,
The little church appears;
Its whitened spire landmark true,
Preserving now mid fashions new
The style of former years.
The church where preachers firm and bold
Spake faithfully in days of old
The message God had sent;
Where men, impressed by voice divine,
Confessed with sacrtmental sign
Their true and high intent.
From this dear shrine the fathers passed.
Their faith unfaltering to the last,
And gained the victor's crown.
And from these doors the sons depart
Prepared to act the manly part
In large and busy town.
little band are praying still,
In this old church beneath the hill,
For grace to persevere;
For wisdom in these thoughtful days
To teach old truth in modern ways,
With inner vision clear,
May all who go and all who stay
For Heavens constant blessing pray
Upon the church we love;
That she may have her bridal dover,
The fullness of the Spirit power,
Descending from above.
Then each new year shall yield its fruits,
goodly band of new recruits,
The broken ranks to fill;
And grateful lips shall witness bear
of highest joys which all may share
Who do their Fathers will.

PRESS COMMENT.
DR.. Long and the President

1t was one of the best strokes OF for
tune that DR.. William j. Long OF STAN
ford, Conn, ever experienced to have
President Roosevelt pitch into him and
then for him to pitch into the president

learn from the announcement in connec-
ton with DR.. Longs lecture at St. ohns-
bury Friday evening, that he lis unable
to accept one-half his invitations to

Col. George Harvey's New Honor.

paper success of Mr.. George Harvey,
editor OF Harper's Weekly and other
publications issued by the famous pub
fishing house, will note with satisfaction
that he has been selected for the Bromley
lectureship at Yale for the year 1908.
This ectureshp, which was endowed by
the widow of the late Isaac H. Bromley,
must include lectures on journalism at
least once in four years. Editor Harvey
has had varied journalistic career and
in view of his long experience in con-
nection with daily newspapers in the
American metropolis as we'll as with
successful literary publications, it would
be difficult to find man better qualified
than is this able son of Vermont to give
the course of lectures on journalism at

Veteran Pastor.
The death of DR.. Wheelock of Cam
bridge removes one OF the last of the
pastors whose life was spent almost
wholly in one parish. In this case it had
the further distinction of being the parish
in which he was born. In this respect it
must be regarded as unique among the
long pastorates. Such distinction
speaks well for both the character and
the ability of the one who could hold
both the respect and the affection of the
community in which he was reared.

his later years will recall the vigor and
aptness of his address, indicatingin some
