Do you take care of your teeth? Do
you recognize the fact that good teeth
are d valuable asset in maintaining
the general health of you entire
body?
Do you know that the kind of food
you eat has an effect upon the eondi-
ton of your teeth?
Teeth. as any other organ of the
body, need exercise! This exercise
must not be too severe, of course, es-
pecially if the teeth are not used TO
it.
You will remember that the savage,
who is accustomed to chewing and
biting tough fbrous foods, usually has
very fine teeth.
The tendency, as civilization in
creased, has been to eat softer foods.
And the result is hat foods which re-
quire real chewing have become dis
liked and often eliminated from the
daily diet.
Cooking, soaking, grinding and
other means are resorted to nowadays
to save the trouble of chewing when
the food which needs chewing has
been retained in the daily food list.
This state of affairs has caused the
teeth TO forget their old cunning. Ma
ture, finding there was little or no
need for strong teeth, has failed to
| provide them.
But it is a grave question whether
this ''age of pap. as it has been call
ed. should be allowed to continue.
Teeth are an attractive feature of
the human face, as well as a useful
member of the digestive apparatus OF
the body.
Let's not give them a chance to dis
appear because of lack of use. Let
us put some foods which require
chewing into our daily diet. Let Us
| give our teeth some exercise and pre-
serve these valuable aids 10 good
health.
Don't soak your bread in the tea
and then eat it. The hard is
good for your teeth and your stom-
ach.
Don't let the "age of pap" deny you
the pleasure and the profit of a good
sound set of teeth.

time for sentimental airs, what's the
matter with expanding the idea?
Take the case where the heroine in
the play has been driven from home
and is misunderstood by all her old
friends, and the villain is about TO de-
prive her of the papers-not her
curling papers, but the documents
that will prove her innocent.
Why must the violins do a tremulo
effect, sending shiverS down your
spine and making you feel as bright
and cheerful as a tombstone in a dog
cemetery? Wouldn't il be great dur
ing these weepy episodes if the orches-
ira cranked up and then let loose on
Too Much Mustard" or THAT
Clothesline Rag?
This Is just a suggestion. and it is
hoped that it will be taken in good
part by the Weepy or

for railroad companies to install string
orchestras at all railroad stations. Part

III COMMON LOT.

THE COMMON LOT.
1 questioned once when my heart was
sad, =
Tho the skies were blue and all ma
ture glad,
Where is the beauty that lies in Life p?
To me it is only an endless strife.
1 see in the eyes of all l meet,
1 see in the faces hat pass on the
street
The marks of the cares that are bitter
and deep,
The shadows of tears that the strong
must weep.
1 see mems shoulders low-bend with
care,
1 loo with pain on the silvered hair.
And l know that mar has not lived or
died,
Who has not struggled in sorrows
tide.
But. somehow, rhe thought of our
destiny
And our common lot appeals to me.
The beauty in Life l fain would find,
Lies in my love for human kind.
Tho you are as rich as l am poor,
Our lot is the same, the Hand most
sure
Is raised in a power omnipotent.
Ana an eQudl lot, OF SoIIOW DASnL
With joy and peace and the pain OF
strife,
Is the beauty that thrills me with love
OF Life.

A WIN

waters OF Gatun lake will be turned
into the canal oct. 10. The barrier
OF rock and earth which now holds
these waters back will be shattered by
a mighty explosion Of dynamite. and
like the shot that opened the war of
the revolution it will be heard round
the world.
The significance OF this event can
scarcely be comprehended. We con-

We think OF the procession OF vessels

and the tons OF freight they will

wonderful facility OF intercourse the
canal Will provide, with the opportu-
mites for extending commerce il Will

THE DANGERS OF MENDACTTY.
BY Rerton BraIey.

1t takes a brainy nan TO lie ana
freely get away with it. to twist the
honest truth awry and very blithely
play with it: the stupid man who lies
is caught and people socn get wise to
him, his %fabrications come to naught
and failure" well applies TO him.
In fact. the ordinary chap who
trihes with ~veracity discovers soon he's
in the trap made by his own men
dacity. he's tangled in an awful mess
of whopping hbs and little ones, and
lies that seemed a huge success prove
very frail and brittle ones.
n SO, unless your intellect is bet
ter than the run OF them, the folk
you meet viii all detect your lies
and fall for none Of them; it takes a
man of high class mind to lie without
betraying it. and such a ran you'll
always find too wise To be eSsaying it,

For the Proposal Meetings to be
Held in Pierre Janu.

at Pierre on Monday, January 3, of
the state proposal committeeman of
the various parties and factions. and
the placing in the field of congress
sional and state tickets and candidates
for nomination to the Office Of United
States senator, the campaign which
will eliminate in the primary elections
to be held throughout South Dakota
in March will be formally opened.
While the democrats of the state
do not expert that the ticket to be
nominated by them in March will
sweep the state ut the November
election. they do expect to profit from
many mistakes which the republicans
may make In the selection of candi.
dates at the March primary election.
They have their attention directed es-
pecially to the United States senator
ship, and believe that il the repub-
licans nominate m unpopular candi-
date at the March primaries they may
be able to place in the field a candidate
for the senate who will defeat the
republican candidate at the election
in November.
The holding Of the primary elections
in March will compel candidates for
nomination to the various state and
county positions to make their cam
psigns during the lnoet stormy period
of the winter. but this will not be
without its redeeming features. The
farmer vote contitutes a great part Of
the vote OF south Dakota, as Of many
other states, and the campaign. there
fore, will be carried on at q time when
the farmers will have leisure to con-
slider the claims Of the various opposing
candidates, and the primary in March
will come at a time when they are not
as busy ~ they will be Z few weeks
later, when their spring work opens
up.
Becaose Of this II Is expected the
