Pretty teeth are impossible possessions
unless the general health is good, yet no
matter how excellent the condition of
the system, regular and most careful at
tention must be given If the services of
a dentist are not be called into requisition
unnecessarily often.
In the daily care of the teeth tooth
brush Is an essential and the selection of
one is an important feature that few
women realize. They are apt to buy a
cheap variety, regardless of shape or
bristles, and herein lies the first mistake
in the care Of the teeth. A brush with
bristles the same length is good only for
the front teeth. A moments thought will
convince any one Of this truth, for the
jaw is slightly curved so that a fiat
surface will touch only the middle teeth,
leaving those at either end of the brush
untouched. OF course, there is slight
rubbing over of the latter, but 1t Is not
sufficiently thorough to be of benefit.
Therefore the best kind of brush is that
with bristles a trifie shorter in the mid
die and longer at either end. The brush
should also be narrow. rather than broad,

Brush With Medium Soft Bristles.
Too much care cannot be taken to as
certain that the brush is not too hard,
but at the same time is sufficiently stiff
to act on the surface of the teeth. Should
it be too hard it will cause that most
serious disorder, shrinking gums, in which
the upper part of the teeth are left bare,
sometimes causing them to get loose and
fall out. A brush that is too soft is not
as efficacious as 1t should be. The only
way of deciding what Is the right quality
Is by feeling, for If there is the least sore
ness of the gums following cleaning a
softer brush must be employed.
Having chosen the right brush the bene-

BELMONT STABLE TO EUROPE.
New Yorker Shipping His Horses to
Withdraw Competition.

NEW YORK, September 11.-Aug1Ist
Belmont is shipping his horses to Europe
in order to withdraw his competition with
the small breeders and horse owners, ac-
cording TO a statement which Mr.. Bel
mont made today on returning from Eu-
rope. Mr.. Belmont said that it was his
intention to send more horses to Europe
in the near future to race there than he
has done heretofore. This, he added, was
done because he regarded it as fairer TO
the smaller breeders and owners upon
whom, he declared, the racing situation
was bringing great loss and in some cases
ruin.
Mr.. Belmont said he would keep enough
horses to be represented this year and
would continue breeding horses in Ken
lucky. In order to enter horses in the
races in France Mr.. Belmont said he was
negotiating for a small farm near Dieppe
where he intends to breed horses for The
French tracks.

ICELAND FOR IcELANDERs.

ICELAND FOR IcELANDERS.
Iceland and Denmark have been for q
series of years endeavoring to settle
their mutual relations as governments.
The differences are somewhat similar to
those of Sweden and Norway which fin
ally eliminated in the separation of those
two countries few years ago.
Icelanders of course generally are in
favor of greater or less completeness of
autonomy for Iceland. The more radical
want something akin to complete indie.
pendence, or at least about the same
relationship to Denmark and its govern
ment as Canada sustains to the British
government.
Lately there has been a committee at
work attempting to make basis of
settlement and has now reported. The
chief features of this report make the
Icelanders acknowledge the Danish king
as king of Iceland, that Denmark shall
have the management of foreign affairs
and have some representative part in the
government of Iceland, but in all local
matters Iceland shall be self-governed.
A further provision makes such agree
ments when adopted perpetual
The report of the committee meets the
views of the present Icelandic govern
ment IN power and OF the offce-holders.
The latter are largely. composed of men
who have been educated ia Denmark
and naturally are prejudiced in that dir
cotton.
On the other hand the more radical
orliberalparty are much opposed to these
provisions OF the committee report and
especially to the provision making the
agreements Of the present, perpetual.
There is to be general election in
Iceland On September llth, and the po-
litical fever is very high at the present
time. and the contest promises to be the
most exciting ever held there.
Our American Icelanders are naturally
very much interested at the present time
in the politics of their old country,and
also naturally are almost unanimously
with the radicals for Lcelandic indepen-
dence. ~
In furthurance of this feeling, during
the last week cablegrams have been
telegraphed. from this city, Gardar,
Mountain, Winnipeg and other places,
encouraging the liberals and conveying
the sentiment of the American Icelan-
ders as Iceland for Icelanders-No
promises"

copy can rightly be given the heading

not care to advertise the name of can
didate which it opposes then it ought to
head its printed ticket under its own
heading, thus, 1.-THE Herald Ticket
which it is and not the Republican
Ticket" which it isn't.
Section 13 of the primary law, which
deals with the method of selecting sena.
torial candidates speaks of them as
candidates" all the way through, six or
more times, until the final election when
it says 1.-THE candidate of each party re-
ceiving the highest number of votes ~
shall be the NOMINEE" This we pre-
sumo is the distinction that the Herald
and some other papers are making when
they leave out the name of Mr.. johnson.
They say that Mr.. johnson is not the
nominee of the party as yet. Undoubt.
edly the other state officers at this time
are the regular and legal "nominees" of
the Republican party-but MI. johnson
is not. He is still but "candidate''
though in sense a semi-nominee. But
it that is true then it is equally true that
Mr.. Marshall is not nominee" and on
that ground Mr.. Marshall's name should
also be left off the "Republican Ticket"
But referring again to the section IL we
lind that the two candidates (senatorial)
OF each party are to be placed upon such
ballot under their proper heading land
as the words ballot and "ticket" are
used anonymously in the paragraph Is
following) so it necessarily follows, that
the Republican ticket or a copy thereof
must contain the names of the two can
didates for senator, or else it will not be
the Republican Ticket"
However, the Pioneer Express hoists
its flag this week, subject to correction
by the Republican state committee as to
spelling of names etc., in its own way
but as nearly as possible to the two bal
lots which will be received by each
voter and the voter can take his choice.

JAcoBsON.s PIE.rY.

The papers say that the Republican
candidate for governor of Minnesota
Jacob p. jacobson, eats pie with knife
OF course he ought not to do it-when
in company.
Honestly, when you come to think Of
it, is there any other reason? Isn't it all
just matter of fashionf On the other
hand inst it fact. utility, convenience
and even elegance demand the use of the
knife rather than the fork?
just think Of where we would be at il

steak, such as we ordinarily get at the

Under the provisions OF the primary
law both the Republican and Democratic
county committees met at the county

delegates then took theirsseats in the

and returned to their homes full Of
hope and cheer.

evening after the arrival of the train
