The different kinds of gum disease
demand different mouth washes and
often a patient will condemn a good
mouth wash which fails to effect a
cure when the trouble is that it is not
adapted to that diseased condition. In
diseases of the gum, particularly IN
pyorrhea, it is well to massage the
gum This is a splendid means of
stimulating the tissue and causing it
to creep forward in those places where
it normally belongs. Before we at
tempt gum massage we should see that
the teeth are as clean as possible and
that all foreign matter on the roots IS
removed Gum tissue will not adhere
or lie in close adaptation to the roots of
teeth on which there is tartar or an ac-
emulation of food debris.
The best way to massage the gum is
with the thumb and fingers, rubbing
the gum toward the cutting edge or
the TOOTH There are few people that
normally have clean mouths and when
one has learned to keep ones teeth and
gums in a healthy condition nothing
can induce him to return to the old
habits of uncleanliness.- Copyright,

BUTTER ROLLS WITH SUGAR AND
BUTTER BAKED IN

This roll is one of the most popular
of the many varieties of rolls and buns
we make. They are made of specially
rich dough; perfectly raised. mixed
and baked. In shape they are some
what similar to cinnamon rolls. But
ter rolls are baked in a. pan which
has been thickly lined with a compo-
sition of sweet butter and sugar. When
baked to a rich brown, they are taken
out and turned upside down; the bot
tom then becoming the top. The but
ter and sugar bakes right into the roll,
which with the rich bread makes a
most delicious morse1.
Besides these We bake fresh every
day, nearly a dozen other varieties of
rolls and buns, including pocketbook
rolls, cinnamon rolls poppy seed rolls,
sandwich buns, vienna rolls, Frank
furters, peanut buns. hot cross buns,
etc. They all sell at 10c per dozen.

Mrs. w. F. Watson was hostess Sat
urday at a guest day meeting of
SOroSiS club. The meeting also cele-
brated the eighteenth anniversary of
the organization of the club. which
has come to be regarded as one of the
most important and, perhaps, the most
Intellectual of the Womens clubs of
Topeka.
About hundred women attended
the meeting Saturday, which combined
a social afternoon with a program of
unusual interest. The subject for the
meeting was japanese Art" and Mrs.
Watson, who is a connoisseur, read a
paper, outlining its history, giving a
brief account of the epoch making art
lists of the country and showing some
of the points of difference between the
art of Japan and that of the western
world. She explained in detail the
process of the making of cIoisonne
and illustrated the various steps of
the process by small vases in her col
lection in various stages of Incomplete
ness and then the finished work. She
spoke of their use of lacquer, their
minute and perfect carvings and the
exquisite coloring of their painting.
Mrs. Charles Spencer followed Mrs.
Watson with some additional notes on
the art of Japan, mentioning the beau
ty of their embroidery. The point was
by a large landscape in the
han of the Watson home, done entire
~ in embroidery. She spoke of the
of flowers as a branch of
art taught in the art schools of Japan,
and the love of nature that shows in
their work. She mentioned also the
of the line in their paint |

TEDDY COULDN'T TELL
Colonel is Not Natural History
Expert as Some Might
Think

Midland, Jan. 10. Theodore
Roosevelt was recently appealed
to as an eminent naturalist.
to settle controversy that is
raging in the Midland country
regarding the habits of the
prairie hen, or tympanuchus
Americanus. Some old time
ranchmen maintain that the
prairie hen, differing from all
others of the female species,
selects her own mate. They
assert that the hens gather at
mating season in an open space
and around them squirt the lord
ly cocks, the hens will then, one
by one dart out and select their
mates. Other old time settlers
declare this story originated
with a nature fake, and that
the prairie hen like other self-re-
specting females, waits for her
soul mate to declare his prefer
eRce.
Mr.. Roosevelt was finally
chosen TO pass on the question.
and all wagers were held up
pending his decision. A letter
was received from the colonel
today at Midland. but disappoint-
mehts was keen when 1t was
found that the eminent natural
list had declared TO commit him
self. He wishes both sides a
Happy New Year and referred
them to American Museum of
Natural History.
The proposition has now been
referred to Jonn Burroughs and
Ernest Thompson-S -Seaton, and
the momentous question is still
undecided.

but it is needing some repair
work on it to make il what it
should be. The Terry county
people we are sure would help
Lubbock to put the road in good
condition. and it will not take
many months business here to
get the money back expended on
the road. Those who buy mer-
chandise, especially heavy arti-
cles. such as groceries. coal.
feed, lumber, hardware, ETC.,
will go to the town where the
road is better, and if Lubbock
contents herself to let condi-
tions remain as they now stand,
some other towns are going to
get more and more trade all the
time. Now is the time to get
busy on this proposition. Delay
is dangerous. We should get in
touch with the builders of the
road out Of Roswell this way and
get all the towns between here
and the state line interested in
the proposition and get a con-
tinuous line from that town TO
this; it will be a great item in
"a commercial way. All the
travel from and to that country
viii come through here. and
where the people are, there also
the trade will be.
Several hundred immigrant
wagons as well as touring autos
and wagon parties passing
through Lubbock every year
will mean a great deal for the
town and the development of
the country will be helped as
well. Ii is proposition that is
much more important than one
would think whom first we begin
to enumera.e the benefits to be
derived from it.
The merchants here are in
sympathy with the proposition
and all that is needed is to get
some one in the lead who will
take matter up with the Brown
field people and ascertain how
much assistance they want.
The Real Estate Mems Associa-
tion is good body to take hold
of the matter.
