A Serious Objection,

That the scoffers and cross-question.
ers of the suffragettes often bring con.
fusion upon their own heads was well
illustrated at a recent meeting at
which Mrs. Borrmann Wells was de-
liyering an address. A man had asked
several questions, and in each instance
received prompt reply. His final
query was;
why don't you get married?"
There is one serious objection to
your suggestion replied Mrs. Wells,
and the objection refer to is at pres
ent standing beside this platform in
the person of Mr.. Wells"

A Clean Mouth.

Now and then one hears incredible
stories of persons, otherwise appar-
emily Intelligent and cleanly, going
round for months, and even years,
with their mouths full of germ-laden,
aching. decaying teeth.
These persons will give the most
1 ridiculous reasons for their uncleanly
folly They are too busy, or they have
an insane dread of the dentist, or some
such nonsense. In the very poor and
very ignorant all this may be under
stood and forgiven, but in other
classes 1t is objectionable. Luckily
their number is small, and their pun
ishment Is sure.
Very few of those who are children
to-day will be able to say by and by
that they suffer on account of neglect
of their teeth in youth, but many
adults can honestly say so now The
science of dentistry and the mechanics
by means of which that science is
applied have made enormous strides of
late, and will undoubtedly continue to
advance in the future.
The modern germ theory of disease
as applied to the mouth and teeth has
brought about SO much exact knowl-
edge of prevention and cure that soon
decayed tooth should be disgrace
to any civilized man.
1t is universally accepted that a
clean surface does not decay. All de-
cay Is caused by germs, and the germs
cannot multiply and work evil unless
particles Of food are left on, under
or between the teeth. When these
particles are so left they first become
softened by the saliva, and then afford
lodgment for certain germs which ex-
cite an acid fermentation. The acid
30 formed attacks the enamel of the
teeth, and this is finally perforated.
Now the door is opened for the
germs of decay to enter. In this min.
ute opening in the enamel they find
sheltered spot where they can increase,
and by their action cause the destruc-
tion of the vulnerable dentine.
This whole process of the formation
of the destructive acid may take place
within a single day, If the toilet of
the mouth Is neglected.
Seeing how easy 1t Is for this de-
structive work to be started, one
should make trips to the dentist very
regularly, that damage already done
may be repaired, and that the deposits
which settle on the teeth in the form
Of tartar may be cleaned away. This
tartar does serious damage as long as
1t Is allowed to stay, and 1t cannot
be removed by any home treatment

ABOUT TIME TO GO HOME.
Olive Stewart, at 8 O'Clock AM.
Had Seen Everything.

Sergt. Montgomery of the fifth police
precinct was passing near Pennsylvania
avenue and Sd street southeast this morn
ing shortly after 3 O'Clock, when his at
tentiOn was attracted to a young woman.
She was walking along Pennsylvania
avenue. looking in the store windows, and
showed no evidence of uneasiness because
of the late hour. When approached by
the bluecoat she spoke as pleasantly as if
he were an old friend of her family.
I've just been seeing the sights said
the young. woman. who soon gave her
name as Olive May Stewart and her ad-
dress as the Magazine road. I've been
al the Union station and all about the
city" she added, land now I'm tired
enough to go home
Miss Stewart gave her age as eighteen
years. Sergt. Mont gomery took her to
the police station. She was made happy
by being taken to a warm room and being
made comfortable.
The young woman said she had left
home yesterday and came to the city to
see the sights. Her father called at the
station about daybreak and took her
home.
