DISCUSSION HELPS, ANYWAY

OF tremendous interest and Importance will be
discussion by the general conference of Methodist
Episcopal church, at Minneapolis of propaganda
prepared by special committee after four years
consideration.
1t is proposed to put this church, with member
ship of three millions, two hundred and thrtyfive
thousands, on record for the wage-earner.
The propaganda calls for abolition of child labor;
reduction OF working hours to lowest practicable
point; safeguarding of conditions of toll for
and equitable division of profits of industry
For years this great church has been preaching
and praying for such things these but, not
withstanding this fact its conference committee says
that labor and social conditions have become such
that the church must formally declare itself and
take prominent part in doing things Hence if
this representative body of sincere declares for
equitable division of the profits of industry for
instance, we may justfiaby expect that the church
will adopt some novel, direct and practical way of
advancing such propaganda To progress to re-
form man resorts to preaching, prayer, politics
We are today witnessing social upheaval that's
bound to practically drive the saloon out of politics.
Will the church take place in it? While many of
the good men in that Minneapolis conference may
shudder over mere suggestion of the slightest rea-
ton of their church with politics. it is fact that
sacred history discloses several instances wherein
the church played politics for sake of cause not one
inch higher than that contained in the propaganda
we have outlined above.

WHY WEAR STORE TEETH
OVER AGAIN YOUR FACE? HOW IT'S DONE

DETROIT, Mich, May 6.-You
can fill your mouth full of fine
teeth that originally grew in an
other face-if you have the price,
say $4,000 per tooth.
For 1t seems that there is not
a tooth with nerve so dead that
1t won't go to work again IL it
gets a chance to serve somebody.
Cast aside by the person in
whose jaw 1t grew and ached, any
old tooth will gladly serve any
body who will give it mouth room
will take root and grind and
cut and gnash for its new owner
till the cows come home.
But there are not very many
dentists in the world who can
transplant teeth. There are Just
about two who can be said to be
expert tooth transplanters. One
of these is DR.. w. j. Younger, an
American who lives in Paris and
who often crowns the teeth of
crowned heads. The other Is DR..
Robert Good of Chicago, who was
pupil of DR.. Younger and who
Is perhaps the foremost dentist in
America.
DR.. Good has transplanteed
scores of teeth. The other day,
