HOOPER REQUESTS FUNDS IF BANKERS Reported That Bull Moose Treasurer Is Illegally SO-
 liciting Money

New York, August 31.--E. H. Hook CT said today that he had perhaps sent letters to 1000 bankers soliciting aid for the progressive cause. q addressed them as individuals" he said. "In no case has a letter been sent to a cor { poration or to any one as represent ing a corporation. If the address hap pened to be in care of a bank the letters may have been sent so marked, but it is ridiculous to say that we have solicited contributions from any bank CT corporation as such.'

CORNBREAD GOOD FOR TEETH
Southerners Rarely Defective in This
 Respect, Says a Navy Surgeon

From the Atlanta Constitution.
 It's the corn bread that southern boys eat which gives them such fine teeth. thinks Surgeon Allan Stuart of the local navy recruiting station.
 We accept more applicants hero th&n In any other part of the country car tainly more than fin New England, where 1 was stationed last" says Surgeon Stuart. These north Georgia boys who come off the farm measure up to a fine physical standard.
 ''We refuse practically no applicants because of bad teeth. and this. 1 believe. is due to the fact that SO much corn bread is eaten. The mastication necessa- ry exercises the teeth and keeps them healthy, and healthy teeth make for q healthy man. l made an effort to get corn bread adopted into the navy diet- but it takes southerners to eat corn bread"
 Surgeon Stuart Is a native of South Carolina. a graduate of the South Caro- Ina university and the Charleston Mee- ical college.
