In Picking Wife, Look
At Her Teeth; They're
Sure Character Keys
Dental Expert Says Girls With
Pink Tinted Molars Make
Best Matrons.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-"Girls
with pink tinted teeth have loving
disposition and will make good wives"
declared DR.. Jacob S. Wells a dentist
OF Fargo, \. Oak, who is here attend
ing the national dentists convention.
Young men would do we'll if they
would have their sweethearts' teeth
examined before marrying them. Those
girls who have dull, chalky teeth are
not prone to love and. will not, as a
general rule, make good wives.
Girls of wifely inclinations have the
pink tint just below the gums 1t can
be readily seen if one will look closely.
Inc color is in the enamel and Is not,
as some dentists state. an overhanging
of the gums.
1t would seem that the best course
Tor a young man 10 pursue when he
mas doubts about the sincerity of his
sweetheart is to have a dentist examine
her teeth. | know one young man who
did this and he found that his sweet
heart had challfy teeth and she loved
him for his money.
These are scientific facts. No one
doubts that the disposition of person
can be determined by the formation Of
their teeth. 1t is as sure means Of
determining persons disposition as IS
phfenology. If you see a person with
square, white, clear teeth, the chances
are he or she will have a strong char
acter ana Will come to distinction in
the world"

Found 1912 Bids
Low and Reasonable.

Here is Mr.. Arkwrights statemen
In March, 1912, the city of At
lanta advertised for bids for fur
nishing street lights Pursuant to
his advertisement Georgia Railway
and Power Company submitted a
sealed bid April 3. 1912, at the fol-
lowing prices:
Z IL Ampere 4S0-watt arc lamps.
500 per annum.
lOO-watt soc. p. Tungsten lamps.
$22 per annum
White Way posts, containing five
100 watt soc. p. Tungsten lamps
each, at the rate of $50 per White
Way post per annum.
Ate the request of the city coun-
ell additional bids We're made on
June 10 and June Is for other forms
of electric lights. The question Of
prices for street lighting was thor
oughly investigated by the city
council and its committee. and in
June the bids were considered bv
the committee on ~electric lights
This committee asked for some
notifications in the interest of the
city. which were granted by the
company, and the proposition Of
the company as modified on re-
quest of the committee was unani-
mously accented by the committee
After investigating the prices
charged in various other cities Of
the United States, the city officials
and the members of the committee
generally conceded that the prices
offered by this company were rea
sonable and low.
In the city of Macon there is a
cut-throat rate war between two
companies Each company is try
ing to run the other out Of the
field. or to force the stronger com
pany to buy out the weaker one.
AS is always the case in situations
of this kind, the prices for electric
lights during the temporary period
Of the fight between the two COM
panies are made without regard TO
cost.
The prices quoted for Macon are
less than the actual operating cost
of furnishing service. These prices
are made fer the aVowed purpose
of running the other company out
of business 1t is exactly the same
practice as is ascribed TO the
Standard Oil Company. For illus
tration. when an Independent COM
panN entered the field the Stand
ard would cut their own prices so
low that the Independent company
couldn't meet them until the indie
pendent company had been forced
into bankruptcy then the price of
oil would go up not only to what il
was before but sufficiently higher
to cover the expense of the fight.
So it is in Macon, the prices quot
ed are only temporary. and when
the fight is over they viii be high
er than they would have been IL
there had been no fight at all.
