QUICKSILVER BAD ON TEETH
Fumes Of Mercury Produce Salvation
and Miners Seldom Live More
Than TWO Years.

Quicksilver miners follow the most
unhealthy trade in the world. The
fumes Of the mercury produce con
slant salvation, and the system be-
comes permeated with the metal: the
teeth Of the unfortunate men drop out,
they lose their appetite, become ema-
ciated and, as a rule, seldom live long
er thar two years.
Chloride of lime, employed by
bleachers, frequently destroys the
enamel and dentine of the teeth. But
phosphorus, used so largely In the
manufacture of lucifer matches, at
fects a very large number of persons,
women. girls and children greatly pre-
p~onderating.
People who work In soda factories
are affected by the teeth becoming
soft and translucent; they break of
close to the gums.
DR.. Hesse of Leipsic states that ba-
kers are likely to suffer from decayed
teeth on account of the -four entering
the mouth during work collecting on
and around the teeth, where II decom-
poses and generates an acid destruc.
tive to dentine.

obIitera.ina Field of Waterloo,

While Americans are observing the
semi-centcnnial of Gettysburg, and
thousands study the battle by the aid
of the monuments and markers on the
battlefield, complaint comes to Eng
land that the Waterloo terrain is In
danger. While La Hale Sainte and
Hougomont still bear the marks Of
cannon shot, both are in danger Of
being rebuilt, and part of the Hougo-
mont wall against which the wave of
French courage dashed in vain has
already been pulled down. That is not
the worst of the situation, according
20 a British officer who recently visit
ed the field. "Tramcars" and cheap
fares have been followed by "tawdry
cafes" located on the very spot
whence the Imperial Guard recoiled.
What is to be done? The suggestion
is that cooperation of Belgians and
Englishmen who would preserve the
topography of Waterloo many be effec-
tive in doing for that famous field
what has been done for Gettysburg, but
the first step, it is admitted, will be
very expensive. II preservation Is not
organized there is danger that the
strategic points will be obliterated by
garden and farm feld.-Boston Tran

G W ON cHILD'S FACE

S~tratford, Iowa--"Three years ago
this winter my seven-yearold son had
ringworm on the face. First 1t was In
small red spots which had q rough
crust on the top. When they started
they looked like little red dots and
then they got bigger. about the size
Of a birds egg. They had a white
rough ring around them. and grew
continually worse and soon spread
over his face and legs. The child suf.
fered terrible itching and burning, SO
that he could not sleep nights. He
scratched them and they looked fear.
full. He was cross when he had them.
We used several bottles of liniment,
but nothing helped.

Red Tape In France.

A curious little monument to French
red tape is to be seen at the Petit
Palais. The clock In the building has
marked the same hour for the last
13 years, although 1t is in perfect re-
pair. The explanation borders on the
ridiculous.
At the close of the Paris exhibition
Ii years ago a busybody of an Of
fetal stopped the clock for no other
reason than that the exhibition was
closing its gates. Since then 1t has
remained stationary. for the simple
reason that 1t does not appear on the
list of clocks which the official clock
winder to the municipal council LAS to
attend to. and until some particularly
energetic member OF the council at
tends to the matter the present state

PASSION FOR THE "PARLOR"
tom of Using Poorest Rooms
for Sleep.

In the course of lectures on per-
sonal hygiene at the Royal Sanitary
institute, Prof. II. r. Kenwood, medi-
cal officer of health for Bedfordshire,
dealt with THE Home" Much might
be done for the prevention of tuber-
culosis by the improvement of the
home, he said, according to the London
Daily Telegraph. Wherever there was
dirt there was also degradation. But
1t was the really invisible dirt In the
form of germs in the atmosphere or
ground that was the most harmful. 1t
was essential in dealing with these to
make the acts of cleansing rs simple
as possible, and there should be no
heavy pieces of furniture to move;
no ~nailed-down carpets, but movable
strips and squares and light washable
curtains. 1t should be remembered
that there Is no such thing as dry
cleaning. busting was a mere dis
turbance of particles unless a damp
cloth, tea leaves OIL wet sand were
employed.
Mas there, he asked, anything more
absurd han to find a little house In a
shabby genteel street with it's bed
room accommodation overtaxed and
the best apartment used as the par
lor-that holy of holes, with it's odor
that might be called sanctimonious,
and occupying cubic space that could
be far better used? This passion for
the parlor was almost like the fetish
of the ~uncivilized.
Direct sunshine, with it's regenera-
tive power and germicide effects.
should not be reduced by heavy cur
tains. 1t was the soundest OF invest
ments to make the home as healthy
and attractive as possible. The cuckoo
type of parent, depositing its children
at school and expecting them to learn
everything there, should realize that
the true influences in youth are those
of the home itself.

BY RELIGIOUS MEN
Our Nation Owes Its Origin to Those
Who Stood In Fear Of
the Lord.

No student of the philosophy of his
tory will for a moment deny that the
discovery and colonization of North
America was directed by the guiding
hand of Providence, neither wiz any.
one dispute that the Declaration of In.
dependence and the formation Of our
government were the actions of men
who stood In conscious fear of the
Lord. Each Of the original IL colonies
was established on distinctive and
dominant religious principles. Eacn
of them sought to know the will of
God, and to do 1t. In all their dis
cussion Of the problems of freedom
and In their reasons for independence
our fathers made their appeal to God
and his truth was written In their
hearts. They looked to him as their
leader and defender. When liberty
came they recognized God as its au
thor-giver, so that the emblem OF our
freedom was a God-given banner 10

Tell the wondering. listening world once moro
Of the glory we claim and our strength

And waited DER prairie and mountain side:
Let the folds Of our glorious flag be tossed

Cause the dogs 70 hide or to flee In dread.
Let the cars and the kings Of the world be

OF the pride and tho strength Of a free

great zeal or paradlng, considerable
oratory, the reading of the Declaration
of Independence, closing with numer-
u dinners and the drinking Of as
many toasts as there were states In
the Union.
Fire crackers, cap pistols and other
ear-splitting devices which have caused
so many Of the injuries following in
the wake Of the national holiday, were
unknown a century ago. There was
sufficient incentive hen to make the
biggest kind of a racket. The country
was engaged In a second war with
England, and the younger generation,
with the example Of the Revolutionary
veterans before them. might have
been excused had they given vent to
noisy demonstrations.
According to the newspapers Of the
time, however, the celebration of July
4, 1912, was conducted in a very or
derby way. The phrase safe and sane"
was not used in describing the events
of the day. Their substitutes a GEN.
fury g were "genteel' or " respect
able" One of the early celebrations
at Princeton was thus described:
The flag belonging to the town was
displayed opposite the front of the
college. At IL o'clock a genteel COM
pany Of ladies and gentlemen assem-
bled in the college hall, where they
were agreeably entertained by two ex-
cellent orations suitable to the occa-
sion.
How safe the Fourth was in New
York 100 years ago may be judged
from n of the newspaper accounts,
which says:
We are happy to state that nc evil
accident happened, and that the great
est order and tranquility were main
tanned through the day and evening.
The Fourth of July, 1912, was
opened with the raising of the Stars
and Stripes over all the public build
ings and on the shipping in the har-
Dor. At ten o'clock the militia with
the members of the Tammany society,
