Some Sprinting

IL is stepping some when a man can run so fast from boat to shore as to not even get his feet wet. This is what member of the fire department is re- ported to have done one night last week. Three of the boys went fishing on pond south of the city. Pouts were not biting very brisk, and in the course of the conversation one of the trio told another that the third was afraid of cells. This the third member of the party denied, although he said he was not especially fond of them. The lantern was shedding dim light over the edge of the boat, mosquitos were singing and stinging, and a wrig- gling hornpout was occasionally pulled aboard. Suddenly there was a hard tug on the line of the man in the bow, and over came squirming three pound eel. No sooner he'd 1t been landed in the boat, than the man whom we have called the third party Jumped up on the seat. Over went the lantern and all was darkness. There was the shadow of vanishing figure leaving the boat, and the man who was not especially fond of eels was soon calling to his companions from shore, which was some distance away. How did he get there2 His feet were not even wet. His companions say that he ran so fast the water held him up, and he is the only man in the company that can walk, or run, on top of the water. of course this Is fishing story and some license is allowed. Generally the ve- racity of the boys would not be ques- toned, but this--well, it i> up to the reader We tell the tale as 1t came to

Very Quiet Fourth

"The quietest Fourth we have ever seen, ' is the expression most heard re- garding the way Putnam's safe and sane Fourth of July was observed. There was scarcely any noise and not an accident has been reported.
 The night before the 4th was extre- meIy quiet and not until long after midnight was there even an occasional explosion of powder. The police were given no trouble and an attempt 10 ring the bell on the church of the Nazarrene, Elm street, was nipped in the bud. The extreme heat kept peo- pie of the street and the business section was deserted. A good number went to nearby cities where plans for celebration had been made.

Muster Postponed to 1912

At meeting of the muster com- mittee of the Putnam fire department it was decided that it would be better to postpone the muster for year to give the committee more time to raise the necessary funds. It was with re- luctance that this postponement was decided upon but it was thought best to wait for year and have money enough to assure big time than to try to go ahead this year and only carry out half of the plans.
 The matter of having the stores close every Thursday afternoon during July and August was abandoned and vote of thanks was extended the following who had signed the petition to close:

Swat Thai Fly

The sins of the house fly having been found out, war is being made up- on him. He Is not ilynched, hung, or electrocuted, but just ignominiously swatted. Even some of the ladies so- cieties have agreed to swat him at ev- cry opportunity, and swatting contests with prizes for the greatest number of victims have been instituted. A soci- ety for his extermination has been formed in the west, and literature has been sent out broadcast telling of his disease-spreading habits and asking co- operation in the war of extermlnation. No fly but dead fly is good fly, and "Swat that fly" Is the slogan.

CROOKED TEETH MAR BEAUTY
Irregularity Usually Can BE Prevent
ed " Parents Take Proper Caro-
and Precautjon

How often we meet with people,
otherwise beautiful, whose mouths
are disfigured with irregular teeth.
1t would seem that nature In bestow-
ing the gifts Of form, complexion and
the other elements of beauty, had at
last baked at the one thing needful
to complete the charm. Persons thus
afflicted suffer from decay Of their
teeth. from inability to chew their
food properly. and their faces appear
misshapen, due to the improper de-
velopment of the jaws.
The sad part about this condition
is chat in nearly every case 1t might
have been prevented easily by proper
rrecaution of the parents. but being
neglected it continues to grow worse,
and when the child arrives at the age
of discretion and demands that the
condition be corrected the work be-
comes more difficult. Goethe says,
Impression is one of the three pow
ers that move the world" no wonder
then that the child resents the early
negligence of its parents.
The chief causes of irregular teeth
are thumb sucking. mouth breathing
and the early loss of teeth from de-
cay Parents should remember that
the bones of the child are not yet
hardened. and that the slight pres
sure of the thumb in the mouth OF
the child is enough not only to cause
irregular teeth, but also to change
the shape of the jaw itself. In for
mer times little attention was paid
to the nose and throat of the child
We have dearly paid for that mistake.
Mouth breathing not only causes ir-
regularity: it also invites easy intro
duction into the system of various
diseases. The child's nose should be
examined early for adenoids or other
abnormal conditions. At this time, il
there are any cavities formed, the
teeth can be easily filed with little
or no pain, saving the child and the
parents much discomfort later. Most
important of all, however, the tenn
porary teeth should be retained I'M
til the permanent teeth are ready
to erupt, and that time ranges from
| the age of six to that of fourteen.
A practice to be condemned is the
extraction of loose teeth prematurely
There is a certain time when each
tooth should be lost, and quite often
tooth will become loose and be ex-
tracted by the parent, when ii should
and could be retained for a longer
period and an irregularity be prevent
ed.
