Jaws.
The sad part about this condition is
that in nearly every case it might
have been prevented easily by proper
precautiOn of the parents, but being
neglected 1t continues to grow worse,
and when the child arrives at the age
of discretion and demands that the
condition be corrected the work be-
comes more difficult Goethe says,
Impression is one of the three pow
ers that move the world no wonder
then that the child resents the early
negligence of its parents.
The chief causes of irregular teeth
are thumb sucking, mouth breathing
and the early loss of teeth from de-
cay. Parents should remember that
the bones of the child are not yet
hardened, and that the slight pres
sure of the thumb in the mouth of the
child is enough not only to cause ir-
regular teeth, but also to change the
shape of the jaw itself. In former

dearly paid for that mistake. Mouth
breathing not only causes Irregular

into the system of various diseases.
The cbild's nose should be examined
early for adenoids or other abnormal
conditions At this time, if there are
any cavities formed, the teeth can be
easily filled with little or no pain saw
discomfort later. Most important of
all. however, the temporary teeth
should be retained until the perma-
nent teeth are ready to erupt, and
that time ranges from the age of six
to that of fourteen. A practice to be
condemned is the extraction of loose
teeth prematurely. There is a certain

LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE.

We are pleased to note the fact
that there is some interest being
shown in the organization of law
and order league in Scotland Neck.
The town and community needs such
an organization to assist the officers
in putting down the lawlessness,
and especially such as Sunday SELL
ing. blind tigering etc. The longer
these things are allowed to run the
harder it Is going to be to break
them UP when the effort is made.
We are not believing our communi-
ty is the worst in the State nor do
we intend to make it appear in that
way, yet it is fact that there is a
great deal of lawlessness here, and
most of it can be stopped now with
out much effort. Just let this class
see that there is some interest shown
in these matters by our people and
they will begin to weaken and
trcmble.
We call upon the law-abiding citi
zenship of Scotland Neck and CON-
munity to meet and organize law
and order league. Let every citizen
be requested to come out and join
the league and failing to do so would
put them down against the move
ment for better law enforcement.

TO SECURE MORE JUDGES.

There is a movement on foot to
ask the next legislature TO increase
the number Of Superior Court
Judges from sixteen to twenty-four.
Those advocating this measure claim
that the present judges are worked
too hard and then there is no avail
able judge when there is occasion
for an extra term of court or some
Judge is. sick and prevented from
holding court.
We hope the coming legislature
will be slow to put the additional ex-
pense Of nine judges upon the tax
payers of the State. The present
judges are only required to work AZ
weeks in the year and some of them
are not actually engaged more than
% or 80 weeks in the year. We have
seen it the case when there was
two weeks term of court for a coun-
ty, the first two days of court would
be taken up in trying criminal cases,
the next two in disposing Of civil
cases and by the fifth day of two
weeks term Of court, the Judge
would be on his way home. This is
not always the fault of the Judge
presiding, yet we believe that when
two weeks term of court is set
that it ought to mean just what it
says and court ought to be in session
for that length Of time if there are
enough cases on the docket, other
wise they could adjourn. Let a
judge coming into district serve
notice to the lawyers Of each county
that he was going to try the cases
on the docket and for them to be
ready. Work along this line and
there will not be any necessity for s,
many more new judges and an add;-
tiona expense.
Another thing. Watch the man
that talks so much for these new Of
fees and you will see the same fell
low asking to be appointed to the
position when there is an appoint
ment to be made. In some cases it
is hard to wait for the other fellow
to die before action is taken TO land
the job in case death should come.

the Oil with the Paint. If the Paint
thus made costs more than 81 go per
gaflon-if the Paint as you use it is
not perfectly satisfactory--then re-
turn whatever you have not used
and get ali you have paid for the
whole of it and besides the money
you have paid to the painter. No
other Paint compares with L. & M.
