Cure for Toothache.

There is girl now in our wards with

of the worst teeth did not suffice to cure
the neuralgia. which was due, we sup

their removal. 4 microbe obtained from

still too young. but the lovers thought
otherwise. The girl wrote to her fiance
that she would never forget him, and

The following amusing story is told
here of the crown princess and her motor
car: Not long ago the princess asked
the kaiser's permission to use her car
without crown being displayed on the

about more freely.
Recently the kaiser noticed that the
crown had been replaced in prominent
position on the car and inquired the
reason why. "Oh. because we were so
often held up by the police for furious
driving" was the crown princess reply:
but now we have put the crown back
we are not bothered any more"

BERLIN. July o. 1912.
With the return Of the holiday season

summer resort of Importance there are
opportunities afforded for all sorts OF ex-

growing in popularity, and seems to have
an increasing body Of medical opinion
In its favor. All that is required is the
sun and the SUMS rays hitherto have
been free and untaxed. 1t is the sim
plest and perhaps the most harmless
form of light therapeutics.
The bathers must be protected from
the wind. and in a position open to the
south. they recline on rugs, dry sand
or heather. The head must be protected
against the suns rays. and the position
OF the body changed every ten minutes

sun bathing of course. has been known

solariums in their villas. where the in
habitants used to sit in the strong rays
of the sun and be cured Of rheumatism
and govt. But it was not until the
Swiss. Arnold Rikli. took up the cause
that the modern world really turned Sc
rious attention to 1t.
Rikli was a sun fanatic, and there can
be no doubt that he exaggerated the eff

connected with 1t number of other
doubtful practices, such as vegetarianiSm
and barefoot walking on wet grass. 1t is
probable that the famous Lahmann In

ADMINISTRATION VIEW
OF LODGE RESOLUTION
Acquisition by Foreign Powers
of Harb0rS in American
Hemisphere.

Although no formal decision has been
reached by the executive as to what shall
be done with the Lodge resolution adopt
ed by the Senate bearing upon the ac
QUESTION of harbors and ports in this
hemisphere by corporations representing
foreign powers. it is declared that for
the present, at least, that resolution will
be regarded as intended solely for in
ternal guidance. Certainly 1t will not he
necessary to communicate it to any other
government, unless some action is taken
by such government which would appear
to violate the spirit of the declaration.
Such is said to be the present attitude Of
the administration.
Resolution Not a Statute.
In explanation Of that position II is
stated that the resolution is not stat
ute: it is not a joint resolution, and 1t
does not require the signature of the
President.
1t was adopted by the Senate behind
closed doors and in the secrecy OF eNecu-
tive session. No foreign government has
the right to question the State Depart
ment on the subject. Nor is the eXecu-
tive bound TO accept the doctrine laid
down in the resolution. which is simply
declaratory of the opinion of the major
ity of the Senate at this moment.

No attempt had been made up to today

Dental candidate. There has been much
talk among the delegates of naming Gov.
Hiram W. johnson of California. a repub-
lcan. but IL Col Roosevelt should finally
determine that democrat might increase
the strength and add to the appeal OF the
new party ticket there Is every reason to
believe that his views will prevail.
Gen. Luke Wright of Tennessee and Col
John NJ. Parker of Louisiana have been
most frequently mentioned in this connec-
ton as democratic possibilities. An agree
ment appeared TO have been reached last
night. however. to name Col. Parker as
permanent chairman of the convention,
and this was believed by many to mean
his elimination from the ticket. Col.
Roosevelt was expected today to decide
the matter in an expression of views to
the delegates.
An outstanding feature of the pro-
gTessive convention is the number of wo-
man delegates in attendance. 1t was
estimated today that there would be
several score of them seated. although
it had been found impossible to make up
even a temporary roll for the convention
