Several Good Tooth Washes.

Peroxide of hydrogen is a good anti.
septic tooth mouth wash and it also
helps to whiten yellow teeth Di-
iuted alcohol is also refreshing and
powdered pumice stone used once in
awhile is excellent for removing
stains. An OCCASIONAL cleansing of the
teeth with salt is beneficial The gums
should also be rubbed. Teeth cannot
be beautiful unless they are healthy.
and they cannot be healthy unless
they are well cared for. If you neg

aching, becoming discolored or crumb-

dicated that he II willing to carry
out the suggestion Of his secretary OF
agriculture II the people of Washing
ton would Indicate that they really
want such an Investigation made.
"One OF the most pitiful things OF
modern times" said Secretary Wilson.
rs the manner In which the poor OF
the large cities are beaten down by
the prices which prevail at this time
The prices are such that no man work
ing for ordinary wages can meet them.
They are beyond the pocketbook OF
the poor. and there is nothing that
gives the poor any protection from
them. This condition undoubtedly pre-
walls In nearly every city.
THE farmer Goes not get half the
price the consumer pays. Many per-
sons are inclined to place the blame
for high prices on the farmers, but as
a matter of fact the farmers are not
benefited by the high prices. A few
middlemen. selected individuals. who
step In between the farmer and the
consumer. are the persons who reap
the benefit"
Secretary Wilson believes this is a
condition that cities alone can rem
edy. He thinks that If 1t Is true, and
he believes 1t is true, that somewhere
between the farmer and the consumer
in the city are individuals who are
making too large profit on the stun
the farmers produce, 1t is the duty OF
a municipality to find out who these
persons are and to put a stop to the
overcharging.
The commissioners for the District
of Columbia are much interested In
the suggestion of the secretary of ag-
riculture that an investigation into
the cost of living be conducted here.

Pole residing in the second ward at

night, when he turned loose on him,
the ball from 80 entering his left
leg just below the groin.
Reardou was at once removed to
the Leuont hospital, where his in
