NEW CURE FOR TooTHAcHE
start "A Strenuous Argument with the
Dentist, snort some AID
Run,

A few days ago I dropped into a so-called
dental parlor. Most places Of torture are
now called parlors. even to the barberies.
Mine was not to be a social call. merely to
while away a few idle moments. but was a
business call, purely and simply. / had been
receiving the call to 60 for several days,
and at last l could thrust it aside no
longer; l had a genuine case Of old-fash-
toned toothache. 1t is a pity there Is not a
more aesthetic name for toothache.
1 had a third degree grip on my left jaw
as 1 entered the ~slaughter-I mean the
dental parlor. l wouldn't open my mouth
for fear l would take more pain in, so 1
pointed. "Let me see it, said the dentist,
who Is never afraid to look somebody else's
pain square in the eye. Don't you want 1t
flled?" he asked, casting a glitteeing look
at his steam drill. "Filled?' / %grOaned;

looked at me. Il never use it," he replied,
quietly.

You don't have to, you know" "All right, "

sarcastically, ARE you running a business

he drawled, Il get more fun out OF it than
anything else. My greatest pleasure in life
is in yanklng people all round this room"
"Well, confound you, you can't yank me

LIMIT IN HEALTH FADS
Doctor insists that Frequent wash
ing of Hands IL a Good
Thing.

Civilized man touches a hundred things
with his hands to every one with any other
part of his body. Literally he sticks the
former into everything. 1t follows. as DR..
Eceles points out in the Dietetic and
Hygienic Gazette. that hands probably play
a very important part in the spread OF
disease. From this the further corollary
may be drawn that washing the hands is
a sanitary process OF great Importance. 1t
affords an imperfect but partial dlsinfee'
ton.
Pretty much everything touched by the
hands may be infected-money, newspa,
pers. books, street car straps, restaurant
knives and forks and tumblers, other PEG,
pies hands, door handles, public pens and
pencils. and so on, ad infinitum. Every
one of these touches may, and some of
them certainly do, result in a transfer Of
germs. Fortunately most Of the newcomers
will be harmless, but occasionally a batch"
arrives analogous to the Black Handers,
and IL they find any cut or minute abrasion
of the skin. or IL the imbecile carelessness
of their host rubs them into the eyes or
mouth, the possibility of a death, or at
least an expensive illness in the latter's
family, becomes imminent.
Therefore, says DR.. Eccles, wash your
hands as often as opportunity offers. You
can't overdo it. Clean hands are of far
more Importance hygienically than esthet-
ically; washing them after handling Some
dangerously infected object may save your
own or some one else's life. AS you have
no way of distinguishing infected from un-
infected things-bank notes, for instance
the hands should always be washed as a
matter of routine before they are carried
10 the eyes or lips.
What DR.. Eccies would like TO see adopted
is antlseptic hand washing involving the
routine use Of some fairly strong germi-
eide. This is a counsel of perfection that
cannot be hoped for. a more frequent use
Of soap and water will be boon enough for
a first step. The Medical Record agrees
with DR.. Eccles as TO the necessity for a
hand washing crusade.

BLIND WOMAN WINS HER CASE
Success of Long Fight to Get Brother
Out of Prison I'm Mon
tRnR.

Before leaving Washington last week for
his home In Helena, Governor Norris OF
Montana gave a promise that won for him
the prayers and blessings of a blind young
W oman in Washington.
The promise was that in several months
he would do all In his power to restore to
her her only brother. Harvey Wilton who
she has not seen for more than seventeen
years, and who she will never be able 10
see again because of her afflletion.
The promise will open the penltentiary
doors to the brother-a Washington boy
who was raised and educated In Rrookland,
and who, when scarcely more than q years
old. found himself behind prison doors,
serving a sentence OF eighty years at hard
labor. The boy received the sentence be-
cause he was in company with a desperate
when the latter shot a deputy sheriff. who
died from his injuries. The desperate
escaped, and the boy received the fuu
penalty Of the law, because out in Montana
an accomplish in a crime can be held
equally guilty with the principal.
Miss Dolly Whitton, sister Of the boy, is
an inmate of the Young Woman's Christian
Home, in C street northwest. and touched
by the pathos of her case, Senators Dixon
and Carter and Governor Norris of Mon
tara have Interested themselves in her
behalf. Miss Grace M. Thomas, Frederick
Ohm, John b. Lord and William Ohm also
are assisting in the effort TO restore to the
blind sister the brother whom she adores.
Miss Wilton told how her whole life had
been lived under a cloud, and how. day
after day, she had dreamed Of nothing but
her brother.
Years ago, when ! was nothing but a
girl going to school" she said. Il loved
my brother better than any one in the
world. Since / became blind I have had
more time to think Of him, and what his
release will mean. Just to have my brother
In my arms once again would make me-
the happiest girl in the world.
An day long l sit and wonder II tho
authorities will give my brother his liberty
and he win come to me. who loves him
SO much. We always were companions
and / have never passed a happy moment
since he left. For wears I did not know
where he was, and that added to my misery
and uncertainty"
Governor Norris promised Miss Whittor
that II nothing unexpected comes up and
Whitton continues a model prisoner In,
governor will recommend that Wilton be
released on a parole, and as Attorney Gen.
eral Galen OF Montana also is favorably
inclined to a parole Whltton's release from
the pcnitentiary is looked for. Under q
parole a convict is expected to report Il
the law Officers twice a year, so they cor
know II he is Keeping his parole. but II

home to look after his blind sister. tn,

ernor Norris required Of Whitton's friend.
was that they satisfy him and the members
OF the board of pardons that they will fur
rish the means to bring Wilton TO Wash
ingion and sustain him until he can ge.
work. This was done.-Washlngton Post.

Weddings, engagements and rumors of
others have come in quick succession OF
late, and although accusations are en-
phatically denied by some. the straws
point too straight to be misleading. Among
these suspects Is one young woman who
returned from college not long ago to ac-
cept IN office to which so much suspicion
attaches that to merely hold It has come
to be counted almost an announcement.
The young man Is the son of a prominent
Omaha merchant and is completing his
course in one OF the leading eastern col
leges. Although both young people and
their families deny that there is any oc-
CASTOR for speculation, the fact that the
young woman expects to accompany the
young mans mother east this spring, to
attend the Junior prom" of his college,
confirms the suspicious of their friends,
The informal making and serving of tea
is coming more and more into favor among
Omaha women, not a-few Of whom have
become expert in the use OF the little al
cohol flame, the little copper Kettle and the
tea ball. The art Of making tea, like that
OF writing letters. has by many been
classed among the lost feminine gifts. and
our g~randfathers are wont to tell us that
NNHlei Oh thc present generation are pass
ing by one OF the most attractive accom-
plishments a woman can have. The prac-
tice of making afternoon calls is not, how
ever, sufficiently general among men now
a-days to enable them TO speak authori-
tatively on this subject, and evidently the
women who do boast the accomplishment
are willing to exercise it with the utmost
simplicity for the benefit OF their women
friends.
