GAY BEAU PLAYS
WITH TWO WIDOWS

PARIS, Dec 15.-John B. Lake
Baker, former private secretary of the
late James G. Blaine, and an aged
Beau Brummel of Paris, is credited
sitions of marriage to two wealthy
widows, one of whom is the beautiful
Mrs. George Law of New York and
Paris. The reason for putting a condi-
ton in the matrimonial proposals is
that Baker has wife at present His
proposition, therefore, cannot become
absolute until divorce is obtained
Predivorce proposals of marriage
are now quite the vogue among Ameri-
cans in Paris while seeking release
from matrimonial bonds
Mrs. Baxter Tevis Mckee, the Post
ley Currans and Miss Ethel Cook have
all gone through the conditional pro-
postal system. But Baker, who is a
good liver, and gourmand and bou-
levardier, and the best pre-
presents flowers to one or both of the
in the Bots in the morning saunters
along the boulevards in the afternoon,
present flowers to one or both of the
widows at every hour Of the day.
In order to be fresh for the follow
ing day this Anticipated beau goes
to bed at o'clock every evening. The
Travellers Club, into which he wanders
occasionally because of his member
ship in the Metropolitan Club of New
York, takes his conditional proposals
very seriously He admits his need to
marry and a rich wife to keep up his
status, his spats from London, flowers |
from Nice and champagne of the best |
brands, all indicating his costly tastes |
Bakers next marriage will be his |
fourth. The present Mrs. Baker was
a Mrs. Freeman, whom he married |
three months after the death of his
second wife.
Mrs. George Law, who is now at the
Hostel Castigion, gayly humors the
aged Lothario by saying she is
battered by the conditional proposal,
)ut it is understood that Bakers prop
)sition really finds favor in the eyes of
he other American widow, whose

STORY OF WASHINGTONS

world to admire, says the Gem State

This tree is the old mission tree
at the mouth Of Alpowai creek in
Asotin county. It's history is an en-
pertaining one. In 1926 Rev. H. H.
Spaulding, father of Henry Spauld-
ing of Almota, then missionary
among the savages of the wild and
unpeopled coast, brought from Erie
county, New York a number of ap-
pie seeds. These he planted at the
Lapwai mission, in Nez Perez coun-
ty, Idaho. They sprouted and grew.
In 1887 Rev. Spaulding uprooted
three of the tender apple sprouts and
at the mouth of the Alpowai, upon
land then claimed by Red Wood,
chief of the Alpowais.

remedies are useful only as expedients
| to quiet pain until more permanent
| and reliable service cen be secured.
OF all the materials used In the fill
| ing of teeth, none other has won
| quite so universal regard as gold. We
learn from history that it was per-
haps the first substance to be used
for this purpose, and while the man
ner Of using it has changed, 1t still
holds an important place IN the equip
ment of the dentist. The advantages
that gold possesses as a filing ma
terial are many. It more nearly ap.
proaches the color OF the teeth than
any other metal; II can be easily
placed in the cavity of a teeth so
firmly as to prevent further decay; it
is not affected by the saliva or the
foods that we eat, and 1t does not
discolor the tooth that is filed.
Many people have no other filing
in their teeth than gold, and with
those who can afford it, and who de-
sire it, it does very well. The usual
method, however, is to rely upon the
judgment of the dentist as to which
filing material is best adapted to each
tooth. For instance, an average
mouth may show gold Filings, ANAL
gam filings, gold inlays, porcelain IN
lays, crowns of various sorts and
bridges, all serving a useful purpose,
and placed according to the dentists
best Judgment
The usual location for the gold fill
ing IS the front teeth, where its dura-
bility and its freedom from staining
render It valuable. Where the cavity
Is large and It would thereby be very
noticeable, It would be better to use q
porcelain or enamel filing, though as
a rule they are not as durable.
Many people in order to economic
have their teeth filed with cement in
stead of gold, and while sometimes
this may be necessary, yet as a rule It
Is poor economy, for gold is a per-
manent filing, while with the cheap
cements we may only hope for tenn
porary relief
Some people show poor taste in try
ing 20 have their teeth display as
much gold as possible, much after the
style Of the Jockey who sports q mas
stye watch chain. Others carry their
sensitive feelings too far the other
way, and viii not allow any gold in
their mouth whatever, even If it fs the
one thing needful to preserve the
tooth. Both these extremes are
wrong, and the sooner We get 70 US,
ing better judgment the better for our
teeth. The shape of the tooth, it's 10
cation, condition and other points en-
ter into the question 20 largely, that

There are very few people who have
not experienced at some tine Of their
life that nagging, persistent pain
known as toothache, pain that tends
to drive one to distraction, and
which one is at loss to know how to
control. In most Of the common
aches. a measure of relief can be OBJ
tanned by the use Of Hniment, by rub
bling or by heat; but the excruciating
pains inside the tooth often defy such
simple remedies.
The pulp. or nerve, as It is some
times called, closely resembles e small
fiber of beefsteak. and lies in the
middle of the tooth. Being thus en-
cased in a bony socket, when 1t be-
comes inflamed and starts to swell,
there is no opportunity to enlarge, and
this is one of the reasons for the
severe pains. A similar Inflammation
IN the arm, for instance, OF that
amount of tissue would hardly be no
ticed.
Toothache may be roughly divided
into two classes, those cases in which
the nerve is alive and those in which
the nerve is dead. Put" says some
one, Il do not see how any tooth car
ache without live nerve; there must
be some mistake" There is no mis-
take, nearly one-half of the toothache
We have comes from just such cases.
When you see some one going around
with his cheek all sweIled out, as II
he had eaten an apple dumping and
forgotten to swallow II, you may be
certain that he has no live pulp IL
the tooth that is causing the trouble.
OF the many remedies for toothache
the one best adapted for the home is
oil Of cloves. It IS fairly efficient for
all forms of toothache, IS mild IN its
action, and does little damage If It &C
cidentally spreads on the tissue.
Strong solutions containing carbolic
acid, such as are often sold IN the
form of liquids. or waxes, should be
avoided, as very often the mouth is
burned by their use.
When the pulp is alive the tooth Is
sensitive to heat and cold, sweets

cavity causes intenee pain. II gen
