BETTER TEETH
fewer DENTISTS BILLS

Your teeth decay because particles
Of food get into crevices between and
around the teeth and create germs
of decay. Ordinary tooth powders
and washes are entirely inadequate
to prevent It.
Try Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic, de-
licious. harmless germicide. Just
little in glass Of water. and rinse the
mouth and brush the teeth thoroughly.
It will whiten the teeth, prevent
and remove tartar, destroy all germs
Of decay and save you dentists bills.
Paxtine thoroughly cleanses, de-
odorizes and keeps pure and odorless
false teeth and bridgework. Paxtine
Is far superior to liquid antiseptics

The extraordinary popularity Of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all Injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine

Starch necessary, with the result Of
perfect finish, equal to that when the

SIMON GOVERNMENT IS LOSING GROUND

Port au Prince, July 22--With Presi-
 dent Simon on a sick bed the govern
 ment troops in a state of disruption, all
 the towns in the north of Hayti in the
 hands of the revolutionists, and the ad- vance guard of the insurgents pressing
 upon the capital conditions bid fair to
 see a new administration in control of
 this republic at an early date.
 Today the advance column of the revo-
 lutionists occupied Mrebalis and Las
 Cashobas, important places about 20 miles
 to the north of Port all Prince. Troops
 sent out several days ago to check the
 insurgents which were temporarily suc-
 cessful, offered no resistance when the
 main forces of the rebels attacked the towns.
 The people of Croix Des Bouquets about 10 miles north of the capital, are in a state of revolt. A serious rising oc- cured there and General Thomas. com mandant of the commune, was killed. His troops returned to Port au Prince in great disorder. Cressier. town seven miles south of the capital. is in arms. Port au Prince is in state of panic. | All the stores are closed. Ii is expected | the revolutionists will lose no time in marching on the capital. The troops here are few in number and while their loyal | ty has not been questioned in similar situations in the past it has not been found difficult to induce the soldiers to
 attach themselves to the winning cause.

| Col John W. Tomlinson, one of the
 most prominent attorneys in Alabama,
 was pronounced in a dying condition at 1 St. Vincent's hospital at an early hour | this morning.
 1 He was unconscious at 3 o'clock and | it was believed at the hospital that he 1 could not live through the night. The surgeons had abandoned hope of saving | his life following paralysis of the bowels, which set in after the recent operation | for appendicitis. It was thought possible | that he might finger until o'clock this
 morning.
 The condition of Colonel Tomlinson did not begin to cause alarm until yes terday morning. Following the opera tion it was found that the appendix was in very bad condition and his hea ..
 action was also weak. Yesterday when it was seen that paralysis of the bowels had set in his condition gave those iu attendance genuine alarm
 Several consultations were held dur
 ing, the day, participated in by some of the most prominent surgeons of the city. including Dr. Cunningham Will son and Dr. Frank Nabers, and ev erything possible was. done for him. He grew steadily weaker however. ard Hast night at midnight hope had prac- tfcally been abandoned
 Colonel Tomlnson was i'll only q short time prior to the operation. The
 operation was decided upon late Wednesday night and was performed about 1 o'clock Thursday morning at St. Vincents hospital. The weak heart action was looked upon as unfavorable from. the beginning. Colonel Tomlin- sons was a fleshy man and this, too. was an unfavorable circumstance Everything was regarded favorable, | however, until yesterday morning, when complications began to set in,
 The paralysis of the bowels was of
 the most alarming character.

 were Mrs. Tomlinson, their two daugh : | ters and Colonel Tomlinson's brother,

 MAKE A BOLD HAUL

| New York, July 22.-Three armed thieves invaded the heart of the Tender loin'' district at it's gayest hour tonight.
 smashed a Sixth avenue jewelry window, shot the clerk dead, grabbed 5000 worth of diamond rings and got away in taxi cab pursued by scores of persons who
 had witnessed the murder and robbery. A woman, who the police believe was q confederate, entered the store of Jacob Jacoby few minutes prior to the shoot ing and asked MT. Jacoby to test her eyes | for glasses While she engaged him the
 window glass was smashed and Adoiph Stern, a clerk, rusned to the street An undersized man with a. revolver blocked him at the door Stern tried to brush past him to get at man who had poked his hand through the broken window and
 grasped a tray of diamond rings. The undersigned man shot twice and Stern fell My God. I'm shot he cried. A moment later he was dead.
 Passersby saw the man at the window withdraw the tray of diamond rings, tuck it under his coat and dart across the street He disappeared through the open door of a. red touring car. The engine coushed and the machine was gone with half a hundred men pursuing It. These soon were outdistanced, but not until the first three numbers had been caught. They wero 537 and constitute the chief cew left for the police.
 The man whot shot Stern ran In the op- posite direction, unseen by anyone but MT. Jacoby. The murderer fired wild shot at Jacoby eluded him and escaped.
 Detectives took up the trail within
 few minutes, and armed with descriptions of the slayer and the automobile are hopeful of heading off the thieves.
