OUR FRIDAY TALKING MACHINE
CONCERT

Each Friday finds larger crowd at our
Friday concert, and that is what we want.
We want everyone who can possibly
come in to do so. These concerts begin
promptly at 2.3o in the afternoon and last
for two hours-and are for YOUR ben
eft.
The best part of these concerts are the
freedom that prevails throughout the en-
tire performance. Our friends feel that
they are friends indeed; that they are at
liberty to ask to have certain pieces play
ed-that they can have the same privi-
leges they enjoy in their own home.
This Friday, while we will have a pro-
gram arranged, yet our concert will con
sist almost entirely of the March records,
which come out on the 18th (to-morrow)
of each month.

Hints on teeth ana TOothhrusbs.

Hints on teeth and Toothhrushes.
A hollow tooth becomes a receptacle
for fragments of food, and unless these
are removed they undergo decomposi
ton, making the breath very offensive.
The use Of toothpick does not suffice.
One must use a brush and some anti
septic powder or wash. A pinch Of
boric acid placed on the brush and
ppplied to the hollow tooth is excellent.
t=nL-alsa- tend TO arrest the snrAad
Ur decay 10 other teeth. One cannot
be too careful in keeping a brush clean.
Merely rinsing in cold water is not
sufficient. Once or twice a week the
brush should be dipped into a warm
saturated solution OF boric acid or a
weak solution OF carbolic acid Zone part

horse and offered Mrs. Jones some
money. The frightened woman in
formed them that her husband was
away and closed the door, whereup.
on they tried to get INTO the house.
For fifteen minutes they 2eered
thru the windows and finally started
to come thru one of the doors. Mrs.

It was afterwards learned that the
Greek had not been robbed, but that
instead he had hidden his money I'M

against them that they had really
