Germs In the Teeth,

Everybody knows in general way
how important it is to give the teeth
a good cleaning and to rinse the mouth:
out first thing in the morning. The
object, Of course, is to remove the &C
emulation of bacteria which gathers
on the teeth, gums. tongue and palate
during the hours of sleep. How many
germs do you suppose accumulate dur
ing the nights sleep? In answer to
this question E. c. Bousfield, writing
In the London Lancet. gives some in
teresting and rather startling figures.
which are worth quoting. He states
that he has found the mouth on wax
ing in the morning to obtain about
5000, 100000 bacteria capable Of being
removed by a f1vefold rinsing with
twenty-five cubic centimeters Of water
each time After ordinary washing Of
the teeth with a hard toothbrush
about one-fourth the number could
still be rinsed away. After using
tooth paste only 12O,OO0,00O were left.

OIL COMPANIES
FIGHT FOR CONTROL
TEXAS PIPELINE COMPANY AND
PRAIRIE OIL AND GAS COMPANY
CONTESTANTS.

Muskogee, Okla. May 2j.-What is
believed to be fight between the
Texas Pipeline company and the Prai-
rie Oil and Gas company, to control
the crude oil production of Oklahoma,
was started here Thursday, when the
Texas company asked COR an injunc-
ton restraining the Central Oil com
pany of Bartlesville from interfering
with the piping of oil into the tanks
OF the Texas company and asked also
a receiver for the Central company.
The case is in the federal court, re-
turnable June 2.
Several months ago when oil was
selling at 40 cents, the Texas company
made its contract with the Central
company for about 10000 barrels daily
production, all the company produced,
at Al cents per barrel Since that
time the Prairie Oil and Gas company
has run the price of oil up to iG cents.
1t is understood from the petition of
the Texas company that the present
suit is to prevent the Central com
pany from breaking its contract and
keeping the Prairie company from get
ting its products from the Central
company.
The injunction was granted by the
federal court and applies to about
twenty subsidiary companies of the
Central. On June the Central com
pany must show cause why a receiver
should not be appointed. The proper
ties controlled by the Central are
claimed to be worth at least $4,000,
! 600.
