DETECTIVE BURNS IN NEW Or

New Orleans, Dec. EFF the in
vestigation now being pursued by
William j. Burns has the results
that the famous sleuth is satisfied
are already indicated, a New Orleans
chapter to the dynamite outrages of
the clique alleged to have been work
ing with the McNamaras will be re-
corded, and the criminals of the
same type of the murderous brothers
will be brought to justice in the local
courts.
The explosion which wrecked a
portion of the wall of the H. T..
Gotham e Co. building, in Tchoupi-
toulas street, near st. Joseph, more
than year ago, Mr.. Burns alleges
was the work of dynamiters, and Mr..
Burns himself arrived in the city
yesterday to conclude the case, which
he has been working on for some
time, and to possibly arrest the per-
petrators of the deed.
While Mr.. Burns would give out
no information beyond the bare
statement that the Cottam explosion
was a dynamite outrage, one of the
links in the chain of explosions in
esta blishments not friendly to labor
unions, all originating from the one
baleful source, it is understood that
the detective is preparing to close in,
and that possibly in a day or SO ar
rests may be made.

AFFAIRS In CHINA.

Pekin, Dec. 28.-Disgusted at the
refusal Of the princes and the mobiles
OF the imperial clan to contribute
funds to carry on the war, Yuan Shi
ka1, the premier, tonight took sick
leave, which, it is believed, presages
his early retirement from office.
Yuan bitterly resents the bad faith
of WI Ting Fang and the other rev
olutionists, who, having proposed to
leave the decision as to the new form
of government to national con-
gress. The veteran statesman fears
that republic means the country's
dissolution. He says he will not ac-
cept the presidency. He now feels
the only chance of a sane solution
lies in fighting it out, but he is handi-
capped by lack of money.
Diplomats here are extremely pes
simistic regarding the outlook and
believe that in the absence of fur

Mr.. Arnold Kistenmacher, living
several miles from Abita Springs,
was badly bitten by his own dog, last
Saturday. He was catching hogs
and was trying to make the dog let
go of one. The dog seemed to be

few inches and fastenino his teeth
IN his face and chin. He bore him

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT WORK.
The Care of the Teeth.

In conversation recently with a
dentist, who has earned the right tic
Ispeak with authority by the charac-
| ter and durability of the work which
he does, my attention was drawn in
a very forceful manner, to the great
necessity of educating the children
in the care of their mouths.
When We realize that ninety per
cent of all diseases enter the human
system through the mouth, we can
readily see what it will mean to so
train children that brushing their
teeth and keeping the mouth in a
clean, sanitary condition shall be
such a fixed habit as to require no
effort.
We are told by psychologists that
"every time we think slight change
takes place in the delicate nerve
cells of some part of the BRAIN that
every action leaves it's indelible mark
or crease-and that just as it is
easy to crease paper where it has
been creased before it Is likewise
easy for action to take place the
brain, where it has taken place be-
FORE" therefore when an act has
been performed many times the
crease becomes so well established
that acting along that line is merely
a habit; something done without con-
scous thought. This is tho condition
we wish to establish for children in
the care of their mouths by the per-
sistent insistence of parents and the
teachers.
Statistics prove for us that from
IS to SO per cent of all school child
rem are suffering from dceayed teeth
and that mo other ore condition is
responsible for such suffering in child
life and so influential in retarding
scholarship"
DR.. Gulick, who made an extensive
examination of the school children of
New York, gave it as his opinion that
two decayed teeth in the mouth of
child will keep him back in his school
course six months.
At present public sentiment is
trained teachers a necessity in most
Why should not that
same power create the demand for
he best health obtainable among
school children?
In localities where parents are ig- |
lorant or Indifferent if the teacher |
will give a few minutes daily to a
ak on the subject of prevention of |
disease by keeping the mouth clean
Ind perhaps institute a tooth brush
lrill to interest the smaller children,
he results, l believe, will be sur
,rising.
The daily persistence of the teach
II along tbs line will be spoken of
It home by the children and will
esult in their insistence upon having
Doth brushes and powder-and the
outcome will be healthier genera

lssimilating the instruction given

the cause of much favorable COM

giving first-class service, with the at
tendant cleanliness, moral surround
ings and healthfulness that, makes it
valuable retreat to those who are
appreciative of home comfort and
influences.
