ing and before retiring is not enough. The
various mouth-wash disinfectants and the use
of dental floss in themselves cannot be relied
upon. The scorned toothpick must be reestab-
lished, according to Professor Levett, because
nothing else can perform its functions ade-
quately.
The toothpck finds its way into all the lit
tie crevices of the teeth where bits of food
lodge and become dangerous putrid matter. 1t
may be used, too, support for the medi-

of the teeth when they become diseased under

secretion. which, when hardened, turns into

lime, which incrusts the teeth and renders
them unhealthy.
The use of the toothpick at table may not
be extremely edifying, but. according to Pro
fessor Leyett, it helps to preserve the teeth.

Picking Teeth a GOOD HABIT

II TIQUETTE frowns upon the use of
toothpicks at the dining table, but
modern dental science seeks to en-
courage the habit. According to Professor
Levett, one of the most eminent French dental
surgeons, the toothpick should be as much a
part Of the setting Of the table as the knives,
forks and plates; and if the meal is pro-
tracted one the toothpick should be used be-
fore rising from the table.
1t is a fact that, notwithstanding the ac-
knowledged skill and pronounced advancement
in the science of dentistry, we still lose our
teeth far too soon. This is either through
pyorrhea, that dread disease Of the gums
which causes seemingly perfect strong white
teeth to detach themselves and fall out. or
through lack of cleanliness upon the part Of

Why DRUG Stores Sell CANDY

W.T. HY does the drug store sell candy?
w A not inconsiderable part of the
business OF the average druggist
to-day is the selling of candy And yet
one might imagine that drugs and confec-
tionery had no very obvious relation.
But the fact is otherwise. Centuries
ago in Europe candy was sold exclusively
by druggists. Not only that. but they were
the only candy manufacturers. 1t may bs

Why New Things

Fellow In Psychology at Columbia University.
AVE you gone entirely new place and
Fl yet had sudden feeling that you once were
a ~ there before? Have YOU in the midst Of a
conversation had strange conviction that long ago
you said just those words under just those circum
stances?
And If SO. how did you explain the feeling?
Many poets and authors have felt and described this
experience. though rule. they do not attempt to
explain It.
Thus Sir Walter Scott says: How often do we
find ourselves in society which have never before
met, and yet feel impressed with a mysterious, ill
defined consciousness that neither nor the
subject is entirely new; nay, feel If could
anticipate that part of the which has not
yet taken place"
Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy Pierre Lott and
many others also testify to the experience.
1t must then be of fairly occurrence. And
in fact doubt if single person who reads this has
not had it at some time other.
Then surely 1t should have name. And here the
scientists step in. Poets first have described the
sensation but 1t remained for the psychologists to
christen It, AS usual with psychologists, they chose
good long name, and termed the illusion form of
paramnesia And this particular form is generally de.

Des Moines, June There is sus-
p1cion here in Dies Moines that the ac-
tivity of the.state highway commission
in regard to good roads in and about
Des Moines is to some extent due to
the fact that the commission wants to
make practical demonstration right
where it will count Of its ability to
start things adding in good roads
matters. At no place in the state has
there been so much advertising Of the
new road law az farce and failure
as in Des Moines. It seldom has been
referred to here In other than depre-
eating tones, as If nothing whatever in
the way Of making better roads can be
expected frem a highway commission
which is strActly on-political and has
its headquarters at Ames. Now the
commission is going to demonstrate
that there is merit in the law and that
it will be a big aid in getting better
roads.
The commission went hard after
the Des Moines city council and 1t is
said there is intent to also go after the
board Of supervisors and see whether
there has been anything done toward
road making in the vicinity Of the cap
ital city.
1--WE purpose to find out" said one
who has faith in the future of road
building in Iowa, whether or not the
authorities can sit back and permit
road making to lag here in the county
where the state capitol is located. and
then have the claim 60 forth with some
show Of truth that the new road law
is total failure and can easily be
evaded by any and all officials. That
seemed to be the program here but it
is not going to be permitted if we can
help it."
