Poor Children Have Best Teeth ,

A doctor in the British Medical
Journal makes the statement that the
most perfect teeth he has seen have
been In the mouths of the children of
the very poor-children who never
possessed a tooth brush. This physi-
clan states that these youngsters eat
more carbohydrates and less deter
gent material; also, they eat fewer
sweets, and, possibly, which is more
to the point, there is something In
their organizations which resists both
sweets and starch.

DEATH VALLEY
SCOTTY PROVES HIM
SELF RANK EAKER

Death Valley" Scotty has at
last solved the mystery Of the
origin Of bis sudden wealth which
caused his rise into fame several
years ago when he chartered
special train and made q specta-
cular dash across the continent.
Scotty is under arrest in Los
Angeles and is being Investigated
by the grand jury there in connec-
ton with the probing into the
affairs Vt the Death Valley Scotty
Gold Mining & Development Co.
The Los Angeles Times has the fol-
lowing to say regarding Scotty:
Death Valley Scotty" told to
the county grand jury today that
A. M. Johnston, president Of the
National Life Insurance company
at Chicago, has grub-stakei him
for years and that E. Burt Gay
lord, mining engineer of New
York, who is said to have squan-
dered nearly two million dollars,
put up the $4,000 which "Scotty"
paid for the special train in which
the Death valley man made his
spectacular trip across the CONT
nent several years ago.
This afternoon the grand jury is
questioning "Scotty" to find out
Why these men supplied him so
plentifully with cash.
"Scotty" also testified that he
had tried to persuade the Death
Valley Gold Mining & Developing
Co. to locate few mining claims
in Death valley in order to give
the mining scheme the appearance
of genuineness, but alleged that
they refused to DO so, saying it
was unnecessary. F. C. Goodwin,
secretary of the company, is be-
fore the grand jury this afternoon
with books and records of the
company.
"Scotty" told the grand jury to
day that his "hole lin the ground
Down in death valley" is a myth,
which has been used for years to
fill the pockets of promoters.
"Scotty" was brought from Jail be
fore the investigating body in con.
necton with the probe into the
affairs of the Death Valley
Scotty Gold Mining & Developing
Go. whose vice president and
secretary testified that they paid
$25, 900 to the: Death valley man
June of this year.
With the exception of F. C.
Goodwin. the secretary of the com.
pany. and its treasurer, Gold.
" orthy, the officers of the the con.
Germ have apparently dropped
from sight. Frank Sharp, vice
president, cannot be found by the
district attorneys men, neithe,
can Thomas A. Watt the president
Just before "Scotty" went int,
the grand jury room, a moving
picture concern took Photographic
of him and of Samuel L. Browne
chief Of the detective service OF
the district attorneys office. These
it is said, will be shown all over
the country, labeled 'Scotty' and
the man who broke him."
