Mastication has larger function
than merely to prepare the food for
swallowing. When thoroughly per-
formed it trebles or quadrupes the
amount Of saliva. mixes it thoroughly
with the food and initiates one OF the
essential processes Of digestion, the
conversion of starch into sugar. This
is the only part OF digestion over which
We have direct voluntary control.

School Children Suffer From Dental Disorder

Defective teeth may affect the health
Of the entire body. The influence is
chiefly Of four kinds: Q) Decreased
power Of masticaton. due either to
decay or Irregularities Of the teeth !;
(2) the toxic effect Of pus which IL
absorbed directly into the blood or
taken into the stomach and intestines;

the possibility OF acting as a breeding
ground and distributing point for the
bacteria which cause acute infectious
diseases.
Thorough mastication Is prevented
by defective teeth. This Is due to lack
of chewing surface. to Irregularities
which prevent the teeth from meeting
evenly and to local tenderness. Many
children from to II years are de-
prived of half the normal chewing sur

The hand displayed vertically refers
to quantities, each extended finger
meaning 5000 bushels up to $4,000 for
the entire hand Whether the grain

n slight motion of the hand to or from
the trader making the signal
The official reporter stationed in each
pit sees all this signalling, and partly
by observation and partly on informa-
ton given him by the traders notes
the latest price and gives 1t to a tele-
graph operator at his side to be put
on the ticker. Thus the price of grain
is made every moment of the session
and transmitted to all the markets OF
the world.

will accept a nod and a shake of the

discussion. This means that 1t is a
business imbedded in honor.
No contract, either written or oral, is
more binding than the contracts to
which a member Of the association Is
a party. No informality. no absence
Of legal technicalties will avail under
the rules of the association to absolvc
a man from undertaking compliance

MAN HIGH Up IS ACCUSED
ALLEGED MANN PLOT AGAINST
ST. PAUL MAN.
Miss Cox, Principal in White Slave
Case, Is Being Sought by
Officers.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-Charles F. De-
woody, former superintendent of the
Chicago office of the department OF
justice, appeared before Judge Lam
dis to explain accusations against him
made by two witnesses who testified in
an investigation into charges that the
indictment under the Mann act of Will
liam Rufus Edwards of st. Paul was
the result of a plot by Miss Ada Cox,
the complaining witness.
Miss Cox failed to appear at the in
vestigation, but deputy marshal
went to the home of her mother in
Rockford, ILL.,, and if found she will
be placed on the stand
Mrs. Sidney l.. Berry, an acquain-
lance of Miss Cox testified that Miss
Cox had referred to James H. Wilker-
son as nice man and a gentleman,
and to Mr. Dewoody as also a nice
man, but that he had double-crossed
her and got some of her money.
Miss Cox received verdict of ST.

followed the indictment bert under
the Mann act.
Paul Hughes, a reporter, submitte3
an affidavit to Judge Lands affirming
that Miss Cox had told him of receiv-
ing $4,000 also from Edwards.
"'They tried to shake me down for

continued. Il asked her who?"

Advanced Position.

Pekin, China, Sept. 30.-The Ger.
mans in Kiao- Chow, the German pos
session in China, have evacuated the
Waldersee line of defenses before an
overwhelming force of the enemy
Tsing-Tau, the capital of Kiao-Chow, is
consequently completely invested
With the japanese army of invasion
which succeeded in capturing these
Notifications is also a British force.
The German losses are reported to be
but small.
The assault on the Waldersee line
was made in the face of raking fire
from the German defenders of the forts
and also from the big guns of the Ger
man warships lying inside the harbor
of Tsing-Tau. The naval guns played
fiercely upon the Japanese flank and
rear but the invaders pressed forward
finally dislodging the defenders, but az
some considerable price in dead and
wounded. This success for the invad
ers completes their enlightenment of
Tsing-Tau on land. Outside the bay
Japanese, British, French and Russian
warships are on guard.

DISEASE IN RANKS ALARMS
BRITISH ARMY AUTHORITIES ARE
GRAVELY CONCERNED.
Cholera, Typhoid, Dysentery, Rheu
matism and Pneumonia in Vari-
Gus Army Camps.

London, Sept. 30.-The British army
authorities are gravely concerned over
the sanitary situation in the field
Constantly recurring reports insist
that not only is Asiatic cholera preva.
lent among the wounded in Vienna
and Budapest and among the troops
on the firing line in Galicia, but that
it actually has developed in certain
parts of Russia. In addition typhoid
and typhus, as well as dysentery, are
said to be raging in the ranks of some
of the German armies, and many
Frenc hand British soldiers have been
sent back from the field base suffering
from milder diseases.
AS a result of these developments
extraordinary activity is evidenced at
all of the hospital bases. The troops
at the front have been sent enormous
quantities of quicklime, which is be-
ing used wherever it is necessary to
clean up battlefelds in the rear of the
troops. In addition the most extra
ordinary precautions are being taken
to make sure that no water used by
the army in the field is taken from
contaminated sources.
In this respect the British army is
much better off than any of the forces
in the field. From the first landing on
French soil the commanders of the
troops have been very active i'm safe
guarding the water supply. Whenever
the field kitchens are not engaged in
preparing food for the men, they have
been kept in operation boiling water.
Consequently, up to the present time,
the British eXpeditionary forces have
been remarkably free from disease
The heavy cold rains that continued
for more than week, however,
brought a veritable epidemic of rheu-
matism to the soldiers in the field
Compellod to stand hip deep in water
filled trenches; to fight day and night
in clothing from which water dripped,
the contending forces actually suffer-
ed and since then the percentage of
sick is fully as large as the percentage
of wounded.
In addition the weather conditions
took severe toll of the wounded and
reports from all of the hospitals, obth
here and in France, show a high per-
centage of pneumonia cases at the
present time.
