DECAY OF THE TEETH.
The Three Principal causes-Food
That Is Cleansing in Effect.

The Three Principal causes-Food
That Is Cleansing in Effect.
OF all physical ailments to which
the human race is subject decay Of
the teeth is perhaps the most gen.
eral and widespread. This is true at
least of modern times, for examina-
ton of ancient skulls has shown that
although the ancients suffered from
decaying teeth they did not suffer
to such an extent as we do today.
The examination of the school chill
dren of the present day betrays an
appalling state of affairs in this re-
gard.
We know that the tooth itself is
covered with shield of enamel
which is intended to remain intact
and preserve the dentine, or real
tooth material, from the assaults Of
harmful germs formed in the mouth.
principally by reason of the lodg-
ment of particles of food between the
teeth or in small depressions and
dents. Certain kinds OF food, es-
pecially sugars and starchy foods, IL
allowed to remain in contact with the
teeth set up an acid fermentation,
during which the bacteria which are
produced literally feed upon the
teeth, first eating away the enamel
and when that is gone burrowing
down into the dentine until the pulp
of the tooth is exposed. AS soon as
they reach the nerve of the tooth a
terrible toothache announces the fact.
There are three causes behind all
this trouble-improper food, wrong
ways Of eating and lack of cleanli-
ness. The mistake of serving too
much overlooked, soft food is re-
sponsible for much of the trouble.
and this Is just as true for little chill.
dren as 1t is for adults. The teeth were
given us to bite with and to chew
with and If they are defrauded Of
their natural work they become un-
healthy.
In addition to this, certain articles
of food. such as raw apples and
nuts, which call for mastication be-
fore swallowing, are absolutely
cleansing in their effect upon the
teeth. Mechanically they remove
masses Of soft decomposing material.
Besides this; masticating promotes
the flow of saliva, which in it's turn
helps the growth of the good germs
which are needed to fight the bad
ones, for it should be remembered
when it is said that the mouth is
always full of bacteria, that the good
germs are making brave fight
there as we'll as everywhere else in
the body.
Finally toothbrush should be the
first birthday present, and its reg
Mlar and persistent use should be
made a most important part of the
child's early training. A simple aka
Line toothwash, or cream should be
used once day, and the dentist
should be consulted at regular inter-
walls, because there is no matter in
which prevention is so surely better
than cure as in the care of the teeth.

Annapolis. While engaged a few
days ago in surveying land near
Halls Station, In Prince Georges
County, recently purchased by
Messrs. Thomas and Mosolf, of North
Dakota, Mr.. John Shepherd, of Anne
Arundel County, came across large
white stone. which, judging from the
inscription ON it, probably has some
connection with colonial history of
Maryland.
The stone is feet long 16 inches
wide with depth of inches On
close examination one side of the
stone was found to have engraved on
Il a shield or figure about three
quarters of an inch deep and IL by
1 s inches in dimensions. The shield
Is somewhat similar to the Maryland
coat of arms. Within this figure is
beautifully cut the following in
scription:
''Benedice Calvert's First Bound
airy of Swangton's Lott"
The lettering is of the old colonial
style, the ''f's and SIS" being alike,
and the stone is in good state of
preservation. Just what significance
this stone has is not known, but in
view Of the mention of Calvert's name
in the inscription the theory has been
advanced that is probably had some
connection with the laying out of
one Of the Southern Maryland coun-
ties, probably Calvert Benedict
Calvert, the name contained In the
inscription, was the fourth Lord
Proprietary Governor of Maryland in
1715, succeeding his father, Charles
Calvert.

an isolated, hostile, fever-infested
country, but just home. She had
made its wrongs her own, and with
all its unnamed horrors it was still

She hummed gay tune as the
two black men strobe along swinging
her gently in her silk hammock, and
watched through half-closed lids the
splashes of sunlight that played daz-

the barracks. There was group
of soldiers and tourists standing
about the door, and Patricia lowered
her eyes as she met the glances

TAB WAY OF SLEEP.

There Is quiet path of sleep
That leads US back to God;
One sanctuary that remains
When all earth's paths are trod.
Away, away, from fretful sound,
From light and thought and care!
o part the hidden, leafy gates
And let me. breathe it's air.
Cool fingers for the lidded eyes
The zephyrs there shall bring,
The while we glide and dream and
drift
From every sordid thing
Through shaded avenues of rest
Where toll was never known,
Where God in His great mercy
broods.
And mends and heals His own.
Awake, our foes are round about,
Our watch must ceaseless be,
But sleep, and they are put to rout,
Forget, and they will flee.
Heirs, bid at last to come and share
Eternity's calm sweep,
We. with the ages. drop all care
To sleep-to sleep-to sleep.
In helpless, glad surrender there
The soul lies bare and prone,
Till washed and bleached as glitter

On mountain SUBMITS blown.
o sleep, the self-fulfilling prayer,
The answer freely given,
How, 9sweetly blow thy piny winds
Fl 5m off the hills Of heaven!
He goes to sleep? He goes to God.
Then CHEEKY bid him speed.
He goes to meet the Sovereign Power.
The balm for all our need.
Who comes from sleep he comes from

o welcome him with grace!
Fresh from the allrestoring hands.
The Light is on his face.

ALL AUSTRALIAN WOMEN VOTE

ALL AUSTRALIAN WOMEN VOTE.
The women of Victoria, Australia,
are receiving congratulations from
all parts of, the world over their
victory in the fight for the ballot.
Victoria is the last of the Australian
states to extend the franchise to
women, and the bill before the
State Parliament was put through
only after desperate and protracted
struggle. Fourteen times the bill was
thrown out by the legislative council!
after 1t had been passed in the low,
err house. But each time the hostile
majority diminished, and the women
pushing the measure thereby found
renewed hope. The bill finally went
through by majority of four to one.
the opposition at the last moment scat
tering in dismay. The Suffragettes in
England are planning to make the
best of the victory The details of the
fight also are to be sent to the SUI
fragette leaders in this country, to-.
gether with facts of the part women
play in the government of Australian
states. Since. women received the
ballot in Australia it is asserted the
Government has gained in purity, and
this was the ruling factor in the
final submission of the unfriendly ele-
ment in the Victoria Parlia-
ment. Whether for better or worse
it seems that equal suffrage is on
the way for all the civilized world

corsage shows a swathed effect
around the figure to the point where
the skirt is attached, while the lat.

Often, however. the corsage is
without the swathing folds, but is
built like any other corsage, and
where the skirt is joined to it there
are plaits of the gown material, or

HANDBAGS KEEP GROWING.
Handbags are growing until they
threaten to become as ridiculously
large as the hats which have prevail
ed this winter. Women seem never
to know exactly what they want. A
few years ago they were going with.
out even purses. Then they devised
a pocketbook with a strap attach
ment, which they praised as safe
guard against the sneak thief. Now
they carry their big handbags and
invite robbery. They have their peck.
etbooks, too, placed in a slit in the bags,
thus offering a double invitation to
the thief to snatch and run. The real
temptation in the handbag. however,
is that the average woman burdened
with package. or even an umbrella,
hangs it on her wrist. AS a result,
there is little danger in cutting the
soft leather handle and walking off
undetected with the plumber. Reports
of scores of such thefts have been
made to the police within the last
few weeks, almost all of them by
women shoppers. These losses, how
ever, will not mean lesson. Women
cannot change their natures, and they
will go on buying these big handbags
for thieves to carry off until fashion
runs to some other absurdity in the
handbag or pocketbook line.-New

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.

81 The cause of rheumatism and kim
dred diseases is an excess of uric acid
i'll the blood. To cure this terrible
disease this acid must be expelled and
the system SO regulated that no more
acid will be formed in excessive guam
titles. Rheumatism is an internal
disease and requires an internal remedy.
Rubbing with Oils and Liniments will
not cure, affords only temporary relief
at best, causes you to delay the proper
treatment, and allows the malady to
get a frmer hold on you. Liniments
may ease the pain but they will no
more cure Rheumatism than paint will
change the fibre of rotten wood.
Silence has at last discovered a per-
feet and complete cure, which is called
Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds of
cases, it has effected the most marvel
u cures; we believe it will cure YOU.
Rheumacide ''gets at the Joints from
the inside, sweeps the poisons out of
the system, tones up the stomach,
regulates the liver and kidneys and

Good Roads Movement

An agitation, promising 10
bear early fruit, has been started
in Asheville for an automobile
road from. that city to-Greenville.
The Daily Hustler last Summer
advocated this movement in a
series of articles which were
widely copied and commented
on at the time, and it is believed
the newly awakened interest in
good roads so manifest all over
the South now will result in the
early and complete success of
the movement. The BENEFITS to
all towns on the proposed auto
mobile highway are so evident
and so great that comment is
hardly necessary.
The Greenville, IS. c. News
says:
"The announcement that the
Asheville Motor Club is heading
a movement to build a highway
to Greenville to connect with the
New York-Atlanta route, has
created considerable interest
here.
Asheville motorists reached
this determination at a meeting
held last week, at which it was
decided to map out the best
available existing route between
Greenville and Asheville and
nave maps printed with descrip-
tive folders. The members
present unanimously agreed that
they would lend their best efforts
to further the building of a good
road to Greenville, and a news
report in the Asheville Citizen
declared that little difficulty is
anticipated in getting Buncombe
county to macadamize or sand
clay the road to the Buncombe
county line, and it is believed
that the public interest in Elen-
derson county for good roads,
and the efforts Of the enthusiast
tic automobiles OF Henderson
vile who have already been
working for a better road to
Greenville, will result in Hender-
son county carrying the work to
the State line. The report adds
that private aid will be available
to build on the mountain grade
into South Carolina"

A POLICEMAN
DisorderIy Man Who Rode
Back and Forth on Ferry
Subdued After Fight.
WOULD HAVE USED KNIFE

Patrolman William Hartmann had
considerable difficulty in arresting a
Hungarian at the Staten Island ferry
shortly after O'Clock last night.
The man, who gave his name at
headquarters later as Ras Laslow.
thirty years old, had been riding
back and forth across the Sound on
the ferryboat and made considerable
trouble on board. AS he left the
boat later the policeman attempted
to place him under arrest, but Las
low resisted and grappled with the
officer. Both went down but Hart
mann was on top and soon managed
to subdue the man.
As Laslow was inclined to show
more fight the policeman placed his
wrist chain on him and started to
take him to the lookup by way of
Market street. When near Rector
street the man put his hand in his
pocket and tried to draw knife.
Hartman was on guard, however,
and used his club on the mans hand.
At the police station when searched
a big penknife with the large blade
open, was found in his coat pocket.
Acting Recorder Colyer fined the
prisoner s25 this morning but as he
was unable to pay 1t sent him to jail
for fifty days. City Marshal Wal
ters made the man take bath in the
lookup before taking him to New
