THE SITUATION AFTER OHIO'S
PRIMARIES

Ohio has spoken. The result. to any
candid and impartial observer, is a Sc
we're blow to the candidacy of President
Taft and a very important victory to
Colonel Roosevelt. Ohio's stanch Re-
publicanism is proverbial. and her
loyalty to her ''sons" in the White
House hardly less so. Mr.. Taft's fail
ure to obtain a majority, or even
half, of the district delegates from Ohio
is a most painful surprise 10 his mana
gers and campaigners and a reverse
which cannot but injure his prestige.
New York. it is true. ''repudiated''
Roosevelt. as Ohio has rejected
Taft. But in New York the odds were
decidedly in Taft's favor. while in Ohio
precedent, habit and local pride. as
we'll IS the complexities of the unsatis-
factory primary law, worked against
Roosevelt. The conditions were such. on
the whole, that the latter is entitled to
rejoice in a sweeping ''victory.-Chi-
cago Record Herald.
The Ohio primaries apparently COM
plete the demonstration that a majority
of the republicans of the country want
Roosevelt, and that consequently he is
about the only republican that can be
nominated.
Mistakes in the early part of his adj
ministration. followed by misfortunes in
the latter part. have brought to Mr..
Taft misunderstanding and probable de-
feat. Doubtless, his candidacy will 60
on because it represents the only possi-
BILE rallying point of the very large and
determined opposition to Mr.. Roosevelt
within the party.
There will be more and more talk of
a dark horse, but even the name and
fame of Justice Hughes would probably
fail to stem the Roosevelt tide. The
transfer to him or to any other man of
the Taft strength seems impracticable.
The southern delegates. who can deliver
no electoral votes and who represent
patronage or the hope thereof, have a
natural prediction for the band
WAGON. For them Roosevelt is as ac-
ceptable as Taft, so long as he looks
like a winner.
Can Mr.. Roosevelt be elected, if
nominated? That depends largely on his
opponent. His nomination distinctly
looks Bryanward. And. Bryan would be
no mean adversary. There are so many
republicans who believe that Bryan has
grown larger. that he would certainly
get many republican votes. On the
other hand. Roosevelt has always been
able tU cross party lines and get many
democratic votes. Probably he can dc
so again.
With Roosevelt running against ,,Bry-
an, 1t would be some campaign Min

IFILLINGS FOR THE TEETH
Gold ls Usually Best for the Purpose,
but Other Materials Often
Are Used.

OF all the materials used in the fill
ing OF teeth, none other has won
quite so universal regaSd as gold. We
learn from history that 1t was per-
Ihaps the first substance to be used
for this purpose, and while the man
iner Of using It has changed, 1t still
holds an important place in the equip
ment of the dentist. The advantages
that gold possesses as a filling ma
terial are many. 1t mere nearly APP
proaches the color of the teeth than
any other metal; it can be easily
placed in the cavity of a teeth so
firmly as to prevent further decay; it
is not affected by the saliva or the
foods that we eat, and 1t does not
discolor the tooth that is filled.
Many people have no other filing
In their teeth than gold, and with
those who can afford it, and who de.
sire it, it does very well. The usual
method, however, is to rely upon the
judgment of the dentist as to which
filling material is best adapted to each
tooth. For instance, an average
mouth may show gold filings, ANAL
gam filings, gold inlays, porcelain in
lays, crowns of various sorts and
bridges, all serving useful purpose,
and placed according to the dentists
best judgment.
The usual location for the gold fill.
ing is the front teeth, where its dura.
bility and its freedom from staining
render it valuable. Where the cavity
is large and 1t would thereby be very
noticeable, 1t would be better to use a
porcelain or enamel filling, though as
rule they are not as durable.
Many people in order to economic
have their teeth filled with cement in.
stead of gold, and while sometimes
this may be necessary, yet as a rule 1t
is poor economy, for gold is per,
manent filling, while with the cheap
cements we may only hope for tenn.
porary relief.

Work. This progressive county as
added to its assessable wealth and
tillable area 230,S9S acres OF land.
This work cost about $3S0,000, or
about $1.50 per acre, and has in
creased the value of the reclaimed
area from practically nothing to from
$500 to $4,000 per acre. The total
increased value is placed conserva-
lively at $4,500,000, or a return of
more than 1000 per cent on the orig.
jnal investment!
Dunklin county farmers have
spurned the tabled omen and have
constructed thirteen drainage dis
tricts, totaling 100 miles in length and
draining 100000 acres, at total cost
of $523,000. Cotton, wheat, corn and
alfalfa have replaced mosquitoes and
miasmatic dampness as the usual
crops from these acres.
Mississippi county has snatched
from the embrace of the swamps 200,-
900 acres, and has restored them to
eager farmers, who have given good
account of their stewardship.
One hundred thousand acres in
Stoddard county, $4,000 in Butler and
$4,000 in Scott county have been, by
engineering ingenuity, added to the
wealth of the state, at cost not ex-
ceeding $500 per acre. These figures
do not include the Little River drain
age district-the largest in the world
which is now in course of con-
struction, and which includes 100000
acres of land lying in the counties
of Cape Girardeau, Scott, Stoddard,
Pemiscot Mississippi, Dunklin and
New Madrid.
This vast area-larger than many
boosted European principalities-is to
be reclaimed at a cost of 10000,
or $500 per acre. THE increased val
uation of the land will not be less
than $25,000,000, and the increase in
the annual crop output not less than
$12,000,000. This is cash return in
land values of 625 per cent, and an
annual return from the investment of
800 per cent. The cost is higher per
acre than in other drainage districts,
because the problems met are more
complicated and the work when COM
pleted will be more thorough. How
ever, the work of educating people in
these counties to the benefits of drain
age has been well done, and the bur-
den Of $500 per acre is GLADLY shout
dered by the land owners.
In other counties drainage at a
dearer rate has been accomplished.
In Holt county $500 acres have
been drained, at cost of 1852 per

Lands of This State.

That money sunk into very unlove.
ly and very muddy bitches is money
well spent has been thoroughly
proven by the progressive farmers of
Missouri. Figures gathered by the
Missouri Waterway Commission in it's
recently completed study ,of drainage
conditions show that optimistic Mis-
sourians have put the vast sum of
$5,500,000 into drainage bitches, and
with profits Aladdin-like in their pro
portions.
Ten years ago there were 3,750,000
acres of land in this state which were
totally under water or useless be-
cause of excessive moisture. South
east Missouri, rendered low by the
New Madrid earthquakes of 1811-12,
was more extensively cursed with this
excess Of natures greatest gift than
any other part of the state.
Rivers in that territory were small
and crooked and had but slight fall,
hence they were inadequate to carry
off the continuously heavy rainfall of
that region. The land continually re-
sembled an overfiowed street with the
rainfall gaining steadily on the insult
ficient sewers; therefore It was but
natural that Southeast Missourians
became the pioneers in drainage
work, BY deepening and Strengthening
their streams the fiow-off gradually
gained on the rainfall until there was
no excess, and consequently no
swamp lands.

Ad0Hn the street the noisome smells
That come from out the open doors
OF greater and OF lesser hells
Drift derelicts by scores and scores
The battered hulks that once were men,
Caught in some eddy of the tide
That will not let them go again
Upon llfes ocean fair and wide.
Nobody knows their port or name;
Submerged in this unchartered sea
They drift the course that knows no
shame,
Unmindful of what hopes may be,
AS old, bleak derelicts they drift
With never one to call them, friend;
No fair horizons may they lift
Nor find their drifting at an end
We shudder as we pass them by,
We draw away as they come near,
And stife, too, our gentle sigh
For fear, forsooth, that they may hear.
BY what strange shift OF wind and wave
Have they been driven from the
course7
What sullen prank of fortune gave
To their slow drifting all its force?
One day these drifting men were MEM
And hope beat high within each breast;
They held their way all true-and then
Some wave took them upon its crest;
Some wave Of sin or shame or doubt
Flung them, DER whelmed them with
It's might,
And now from hope are they shut out.
No stars may guide them through the
night.
GOD pity them and pity us
Who watch them drifting out and in

Along the Street Of noiscme smells.

HOW 10 RELIEVE TOQTHACHE
Oil of Cloves Is the Best Home Rem
edy for That Most Distress
ing Pain.

There are very few people who have
not expert need at some time of their
life that nagging. persistent pain
known as toothache, a pain that tends
to drive one TO distraction, and
which one is at loss to know how to
control. In most of the common
aches, a measure of relief can be OBJ
tanned by the use Of liniment, by rub
bling or by heat; but the excruciating
pains inside the tooth often defy such
simple remedies.
The pulp, or nerve, as 1t Is some
times called, closely resembles small
fiber Of beefsteak, and lies in the
middle of the tooth. Being thus en-
cased in a bony socket, when it be-
comes infiamed and starts to swell,
there is no opportunity to enlarge, and
this is one of the reasons for the
severe pains. A similar Inflammation
in the arm, for instance, of that
amount of tissue would hardly be no.
ticed.
Toothache may be roughly divided
into two classes, those cases in which
the nerve is alive and those in which
the nerve is dead. But" says some
one, II do not see how any tooth can
ache without a live nerve; there must
be some mistake" There is no mis-
take, nearly one-half of the toothache
we have comes from just such cases.
When you see some one going around
with his cheek all swelled out, as II
he had eaten an apple dumping and
forgotten to swallow 1t, you may be
certain that he has no live pulp in
the tooth that is causing the trouble.
OF the many remedies for toothache,
the one best adapted for the home is
oil Of cloves. 1t is fairly efficient for
all forms Of toothache, is mild in its
action, and does little damage II 1t &C.
cidentally spreads on the tissue.
Strong solutions containing carbolic
acid, such as are often sold In the
form of liquids, or wakes, should be
avoided, as very often the mouth Is
burned by their use.
When the pulp is alive the tooth is
sensitive to heat and cold, sweets
hurt 1t, and anything thrust into the
cavity causes intense pain. 1t gen
orally has what we style jumping
pains, but there is little soreness, or
swelling. In these cases If the cav
ity is gently wiped out with a pledget
Of cotton, and small piece of cotton
saturated with the oil is laid in the
bottom and held in by larger pellet
Of cotton, the pain will generally sub
side, if there has not been too much
Inflammation.
When the pulp is dead, the pain is
dull and heavy, the tooth is sore and
feels longer than the others when we
bite. In time there is swelling and
much distress. In these cases there
will not be much relief from the medi-
cine unless it should happen that the
cavity is open to the dead pulp and
the medicine can get to it. Home
remedies are useful only as expedients
to quiet pain until more permanent
and reliable service can be secured.
