A Bear Just Misses Revenge.

Herman Russell, farmer of Hud.
son township, had a thrilling escape
from den of bears the other day,
says a Boyne City (Mich.) dispatch
to the Chicago Inter Ocean. While
driving along the road his watchdog
secuted a cub and Herman, seeing
the little fellow, decided that it would
make a good pet.
He accordingly went over to the
cub, but when he attempted to pick
him up he was confronted by a big
mother bear, who put up a fight. Her.
man took to the first tree, which was
a small sapling. Mrs. Bruin sized up
the situation, then deliberately
gnawed the sapling until it broke.
Russell was saved by falling into
the branches of larger tree.

"Cut your hair, pull your teeth. Pull

That is the esteem in which the dental
profession is held in many parts of Tur-
key.
In the interior country the practice of
dentistry could hardly be called a profess

are frequently BARRIERS, who pull teeth in
connection with their tonsorial occupation

Always have the window up, or else
down from the top, but never let the breeze
blow directly across the bed when you are
sleeping. 1t chills the blood, which stops
its free circulation, thus giving disease a
chance.
Deep breathing feeds the blood with
oxygen, cools the system and carries off
carbonic acid gas, which is poison. Car
bonic acid gas creates heat, thus causing
fat. Fat is degenerated muscle. Thus
deep breathing kills fat in and about the
chest and heart and creates muscle in its
stead The chest and stomach become
