PIucky and Successful Struggle to Es-
cape the Embrace of the Writing
Monster, Which Would Have Crush
ed Its Victim Like an EgssheII.
Few men after having been roughly
squeezed by a python have lived to tell
of their sensations while in the en-
brace of the big snake. An English
man employed in the London zOologi-
fortunate few.
The Britisher while in Antwerp Wis
tied the Jardin Zoologique, where he
observed that a big python-a female
about fourteen feet in length-was suf-
fering from carries of the jaw, with Ill
ceration of the mucous membrane, a
condition often fatal TO snakes in con-
fnement.
Having pointed this out to the resi-
dent director, the Englishman obtained
permission to make trial of an ONT
ment that he had found efficaciCus in
the early stage of the disease among
his own snakes.
Now, as ill luck would have it, the
regular keeper was absent on this par
ticular occasion, and his place was fill
ed for the time by another from some
other department of the institution.
This man spoke nothing but Flemish,
a tongue of which the Briton was ig-
nOrant.
The Englishman went into the py-
thon's den with this attendant. taking
it for granted, of course, that the man
was accustomed to snakes and hand
ing him the box of ointment to hold I'M
til the Briton should be ready to use it.
When the Englishman had brought
the python fairly down to the floor he
gripped her hard by the neck, which
action had the effect. as he intended it
TO have and which it always has with
snakes, of making her open her mouth.
While holding her thus he pressed her
head away from him at the same time
to prevent her catching hold of any
portion Of bis clothing in her efforts to
overcome him.
In her fright and rage she drew her
body up across the Britisher's back and
twisted her tail round and round his
other arm. All that the Epglishman
now required of the keeper was, by
teasing or pinching her here and there
or by unwinding the tail when necessa-
~, to cause her to shift her coils con-
stantly and prevent her resting long
enough on one spot to apply undue

DEF0RMED MOUTH HANDICAP
Many Reasons Why Irregular and
d Unsiohtiy Teeth In Child Should
|, Receive Early Attention.

Should I have my child's teeth
|ltraightened? In most cases, yes.
lor several reasons:
|4 Appearance. There is nothing
which detracts more from persons
looks than unsightly, irregular teeth,
ind the modification suffered by =

ian not be over-estimated.
+. A child with deformed mouth en-
!ers the race of life with big handi-
zap and It's treatment may mean a
question of success or failure, happi-
aess or unhappiness.
Service. The primary purpose of
our teeth is for servic ;, to grind the
God fine enough for it to be readily
iigtsted by the stomach. The jaws
md teeth, when normal present a
wonderfully perfect machine for
crushing and grinding our food, but
when the jaws are imperfectly devel-
,ped or teeth are lost or misplaced,
It's effectiveness is ruined just as any
,ther machine is ruined by removing
some Of its parts.
Freedom from decay. Occasionally

lad any dental work DONE" Usually
luch people have perfectly regular
teeth, for. certain 1t is that the more
irregular the teeth the more dinlcult
hey are to keep clean, the more
points there are for Judgment Of

comparatively few points for lodg-
nent Of food debris With consequent
nv little decay.

DEcAYED TEETH A MENACE
ed-MIIIIons Of Germs In Broken
Roots.

No decayed teeth must be kept in
the mouth; either they must be filled,
crowned or extracted. Broken down
roots carry millions of disease germs
about them, and must be removed.
Filings which have rough or over
hanging edges, especially at the gums,
are dangerous to the adjoining teeth
on account of the deposits and germs
which collect at such places, and also
because Of the irritation caused to the
gums by such conditions, bringing In
time diseases Of the sockets and loos-
oning Of the teeth. The same thing
applies to crowns, whether they car

THE GOOD FARMING TRAIN


The people of Warren and vicinity
turned out in large numbers to meet
the Good Farming" train upon it's ar
rival here on Tuesday afternoon. The
public schools in the city and in many
country districts We're closed to en-.
able the pupils to attend this "school
On wheels" Fully thousand per.
sons passed thru the cars during the
afternoon. There were eight "school
cars" labelled as follows: Domestic
Science Car, Boys and Girls Car,
Dairy Car, Farm Crops, Farm Machin-
cry, Poultry, Horses and Cattle, Sheep
and Hogs, besides two or three other
touches for the use of the instructors
and attendants. Each car contained
samples and exhibits used in illustrat-
ing the lectures, including fine speci-
mems of live stock and poultry. In
charge of each car was one or more
instructors connected with the extern
sion division of the Minnesota state
university, all of them experts in their
line and many of them practical farm
ers. This School on wheels" is real.
~ an outgrowth Of the extension divi-
sion of the state university and the
aim is to bring the university to the
farm, so that the average farmer will
have chance to learn and profit by
the work of the institution. The 500
railway company has generously fur
nished the train and is transporting it
free along it's lines. .
It was pleasing to note the great
interest with which both old and
young viewed the exhibits and listen
ed to the lectures. It shows that there
is an eagerness to learn about scienti-
fic farming, and that alone is worth
a great deal. Many new ideas were
scattered broadcast in fruitful soil
that will eventually grow and ripen
into better farming. Especially will
the young people who saw this train
have a. higher opinion of the farmers
vocation and will be more content to
stay on the farm.
The Warren Commercial Club enter
tanned the gentlemen members of the
school train at smoke social at the
club rooms in the evening.

CAUSE OF DECAY IN TEETH
AeIde Formed BY Decornposlns Food
Dissolve Teeth Like Sugar Die
solves in Lemonade.

When food decays in the mouth
acids are formed which eat into the
teeth. They dissolve that tooth Just
like sugar will be dissolved in lemon
ade. only not SO quickly. For long
time 1t will not hurt much, Il any.
Maybe It will hurt a little some day
when you take drink Of cold water
but 1t does not ache. But the acid
keeps on eating away at the tooth and
the hole keeps on getting bigger and
bigger, until one day that tooth just
aches like everything. And that is
the way teeth decay.
Now, am going to ask you one
question. When the weeks washing
Is all ready to be put away, mother
picks up your stockings and runs her
hand way down inside to the toe.
Sometimes she finds little hole
there. When she does find hole,
what does she do? "a voice, "She
mends it.'') That is right! She mends
1t. Now, If mother misses that little
hole and you put on those stockings
again and wear them that little hole
becomes big hole and the next time
mother sees it she says, ooh, my! /
wish I had found that and mended 1t
while it was little for it has been get
ting bigger and bigger and now 1t will
take good deal longer to mend. "
Well, that is just the way it. is with
these holes the acid makes in your
teeth. They just keep on getting big.
ger and bigger. It is much easier and
better to mend them when they are
little holes than to wait until they
become big ones. 8
Now, here is something want you
to think about. I have told you the
rotting or decay of your teeth comes
from tho rottinI or decay of tho food
left about the qecks of the teeth and
in between them. Since that is 90,
don't you .thinlsit would be better to
try and get rtdssof that: food before it
decays? ! do! IL you do not get rid
of it but just leave it there, after =
while you will have little holes in your
teeth and they will grow larger and
larger, like tho hole In your stocking
until they get go largo you will have
toothache. And We agree that no
body wants Z toothache.
