of a ''Gang."

Detective Voiles and Officer Frazier
arrested Charles Stewart, a negro, on
information from Ell Reno, Okla,
which charges him with stealing cat
tie. Stewart with four others, stole ten
high grade cattle from a farmer near
Ell Reno and drove them to KingfEsh-
er. where they sold them. Stewart
was arrested while asleep in room IN
the rear of a barber shop which IS
owned by his uncle, William Stewart,
at 1928 Kansas avenue.
Charles Stewart with Al Freeman.
Jim Herbert and Will Greenwood, all
negroes and white man, it is
charged, committed the first theft on
January Il. when they drove away six
head of cattle. Stewart helped drive
them to Kingfisher and was in To
peka on the night of January II and

ed to Oklahoma, and the gang it is

roots of the teeth are destroyed Thus
pockets are formed about the teeth into
which filth and bacteria accumulate.
This condition will generally be man
ifested by the teeth shifting their posi-
tion-either spreading apart or rotat-
ing or both; pus flowing from the peck
cts when pressure is made over the
tooth root and the affected tooth gradu-
ally becoming loose and the gums sore
or tender and bleeding easily.
The vital thing for the patient to
know is whether or not the tendency
towards pyorrhea is evidenced in his
mouth and if so what can be done to
hold the disease in allegiance or check
it's progress
No medicine has ever been suggested
which viii cure pyorrhea and the soon
er this fact is recognized by both
dentist and patient the better for all
concerned. The best treatment is the
thorough removal of all irritating sub
stances of whatever nature and the
polishing of all exposed tooth surfaces
and the subsequent proper rse of the
tooth brush, powder or paste to keep
teeth and gums in healthy condition.

GUM DISEASE IS PREVALENT.
MANY Persons Afflicted With Pyor-
rhea AIveOIaris.

The disease known as pyorrhea al
veolaris is probably the most prevalent
of all dental diseases, for more teeth
are lost from this condition than all
others combined. The disease occurs
in the mouths of all classes of people
more frequently however, in the
mouths Of those who have been rather
neglectful in regard to the care of the
teeth. Yet pyorrhea can and does occur
in the mouths of those who give their
teeth the best attention. The disease
differs from decay of the teeth" in
that the tissues around the teeth are
attacked and destroyed rather than the
teeth themselves
The most important thing to be i'm
pressed upon the mind of the patient is
the fact that the best and most per-
nanent results can be obtained in the
treatment of the disease when it is re-
cognized and corrected in its earlier
stages.
The disease generally begins by some
foreign substance. such as tartar. de-
posted on the teeth, causing irritation
of the gums. Unless this tartar is care

COWS KICK HIM TO DEATH.
Angry Bovines Kill Farmer as He At

Harrington, Kan, Jan. 25.-One of
the most remarkable deaths of recent
years was reported here when Mr. A.
H. Teel, a farmer living two miles
south of Lost Springs. was kicked to
death by the family cows.
The story as told by members of
the family is that Mr.. Teel left the
house with the milk pail to complete
his evening chores and went to the
barn where the two cows were fast
ened and proceeded to milk them as
usual. The cows were standing close
together and Mr.. Teel began to milk
when suddenly one of them became
frightened and began to kick. This
started the other one and before Mr..
Teel could escape he was struck in
the head and rendered unconscious.

their heels and was evidently kicked
a number of times as his head was
badly bruised when found by his little
daughter.
When she arrived at the barn she
found her father lying face downward

Medical assistance was soon secured,
but Mr.. Tee1 had passed away short
~ after being taken into the house.

SOCIALISM BUGABOO
Is Held Up to the Lumbermen by L. G..
Boyle.

Kansas City, Jan. 25.-If the eoun-
try merchants are to save themselves
from being swept out of existence by
the big mail order houses they must
organize for their own protection, L.
c. Boyle of Kansas City, former at
torney general of Kansas, said today
in an address here before the South
western Lumbermen association
meeting in annual session
THE insistent clamor to destroy the
country merchant was first heard,
Mr.. Boyle said, simultaneously with
The demand to eliminate the middle
man applies only to country mer-
chants, because the mail order houses
coHfine their operations to country
districts.
Il am forced to believe that if the
farmer and laborer but understood the
situation Alright the mail order bust
ness would be short lived Eliminate
the country merchant and the bust
ness of distributing the necessities OF
life will of necessity center in the
hands of a few great corporations. Inc
only solution of the dilemma then viii
be state and national socialism.
1.-THE solution of the problem lies in a
close, militant, aggressive organiza-
ton. The rule of reason was applied
to the Standard Oil case and this was
done to meet the business exigencies
courts will not apply the same rule
when the little fellow is concerned let
all the little fellows get together and
make a tremendously big fellow and
then he can apply the rule of reason
1.-The lumber dealers cannot do this
work alone. All retail associations
must get together in federation. There
are a million of you when thus united.
Lay aside your party differences and do
something for the retail merchant"
