WHY IS The THYROID GLAND.

More important than all the dentists
and their new filings and methods Is
the mystery of why teeth decay. DIR. IL
EVAN Waller. an eminent British dental
authority, believes that Il certain duet
less gland in the neck. known as the
"thyroid.'s largely controls the destiny
of cur chewing apparatus OF course
no one doubts that cleaning the mouth,
selecting proper food and general care
of the health aid in keeping the teeth
sound: and lack of these things con
tributes 10 their breaking down Rnt
these are not the only causes nor the
main ones
In spite of neglect and ignorance some
peopl have absolutely no trouble with
their teeth while others brush and clean
and Yet spend small fortunes with the
dentist "a polished tooth never de-
Gays" they say. and this is probably
true, bnt it is equally true that nobody
can keep every portion Of every tooth
polished all the time.
The lungs and the liver and the heart
aud other organs are supposed To take
care OF themselves WITHOUT ones per
sonal attention" SAYS Dr Waller, THAT
is natures business If nature does not
attend Il her business We ought not to

cleaning up after her as il size were a
careless heusemaid, but should eall her

Good health was early recognized as
one OF the foundations lor good teeth.
But many eases of excellent general
health show poor teeth. SO We must con-
clude that there are various kinds of
good health. some which mclude good
teeth and some which do not. Also
many patients of very feeble eonstitu-
tion for some reason have no need oil
the dentist"
Among all the varying causes of health
and disease Br Waller finds one con
stant factor When there is trouble with
the thyroid gland there is trouble with
the teeth.
All over the body, in hooks and cor

FIRST GAMBLING CASE GOES TO THE JURY
IFrom Tuesday's Daily,

The first of the gambling cases in which Birch Brothers are charged with conducting an open game of black jack" went to the jury shortly after o'clock yes terday afternoon At midnight the jury was still closeted in its private room in the St. Michael hotel.
 The defense attorneys sprung a neat surprise when they announced, after the state rested, that they had no testimony to offer and, therefore, had subponaed no wit nesses. Attorneys Reese M Ling and LeRoy Anderson for the de- fense offered all the testimony they deemed necessary 10 support their case, in two ter-minute arguments before the jury.
 The defense based its case upon the cont ention that there had been no infraction of the law; that the game as conducted in the Birch Brothers establishment was entirely within the provisions of the law and that the game was in no detail of a professional character.
 A half dozen witnesses subponaed by the County Attorneys office tes- tihed along the same strain to the effect that they had gambled in the Birch Brothers establishment They admitted to playing black jack" for money or its representative val ues. But there was no testimony brought out to show that there had been a "cut" made for the "house" It was upon this fact that the de- fensc laid particular stress.
 The jury was sworn in shortly after the l o'clock session was called by Judge Smith. The prose cution occupied practically the en tire afternoon in furnishing the evidence. In order to give the case to the jury yesterday the four attorneys in the case agreed to limit their arguments before the jury to ten-minute periods.
 The verdict. in this case is await ed with keen. interest by not only the defendants but the others indict- ed by the grand jury for the al legged conducting of gambling estab- lishments who will be tried today. These defendants are Dillon & Davis. Scholey & Scholey and A. w. Robinson.

OREGON APPLES NOT
 AS GOOD As OURS.
(From Sundays Daily.)

$. B. Wilkins, Of Salem. Ore professional fruit culturist. has re- turned for his second inspection of various orchards, and states the at ;ract:ve conditions noticeable one year ago bring him back to make q more general trip of observation. He also i> identified with a nurs- cry in the above city, but states the business is but incidental to again coming to this region, which ap peals to him as without a peer in the line of apple-growing
 His present trip is to be extended to every locality where fruit is grown, while he will also visit Co., conino and Apache belts before re- turning north. In speaking particu larly of the apples reared in this section. Mir Wilkins yesterday in- formed many people that the imprac- ticable manner in which the indus try is followed and the unexcelled flavor nature bestows are a revela- ton to his trained methods in rais- ing fruit of the unexcelled quality he has inspected and which exceeds that Of his home state. If the grower desires to heed advice and follow the footsteps of the modern 'ulturist tree planting by dynamite
 i'll reveal wonders in propagating an article that will most assuredly bring gratifying results" was one of the emphatic expressions of this authority Only one exception 10 this principle may be noted, he says, and that is where the soil is sandy, in which case there is no occasion to resort to this procedure.
 MT. Wilkins also says he is as founded to learn that not an English walnut tree is to be seen in this region and with the exception of a single one in the front yard of the home of Herman Voge in this city, the farmer has certainly overlooked very remunerative product. The climate is ideal and soil conditions could not possibly be better for propagating this yield. The walnut tree for profit and for shading pur poses supersedes all other growths in Oregon, he says, and the same will be the result in this region If it is introduced. He is astonished over the possibilities of this country in its asset in apple growing and samples taken and forwarded to him 1t home attracted very much at tention and created comment of the most favorable character He may possibly locate here.
