ANANIAs THE FIRST DENTIST
Moaning Patient, Who Just Had Tooth
Pulled, is Satisfied as to identity
Of First Liar.

The dentist says it's all right to tell
the story, but that his name must not
be used.
His explanation of his modesty is
that it Is unethical to advertise. He
must rest under the suspicion, how
ever, of being afraid that his story
is scarcely good advertising, even If
he does deny that he is the principal
character.
A friend of his-a dental friend
had just pulled tooth for a patient.

Doctor, you told me that 1t
wouldn't hurt to pull that tooth" he

HIS HAPPINESS IN DANCING
Footworl< Did Not Bother Anxious
Pupil, but Rather Wanted PRO
fessor TO Teach Him Holds.


Daniel G. Reid, the New York ca
talist, smiled when reference w
made to the modern dances. He said
he was reminded Of the chief concern
Of a party named John Henry.
John Henry wished to wise himself
on modern dancing, and went to a
well-known professor for instruction.
At the first lesson the pupil didn't
show any great aptitude, and several
times the instructor was compelled to
call halt.
Just a moment, sir! Just a mo-
ment!" he intervened, for the tenth
time. "That win never do"
Whats the matter?" responded
John Henry. "Am getting things a
BIT twisted?"
Yes" answered the professor, ''you
must watch your footwork if you wish
to learn the dances"
That's all right, professor" cheer
fully returned the pupil. "You needn't
bother about the footwos.s. Just teach
me the holds. "-P Philadelphia TeIe-

MOT startlingly new in style, but de-

The use Of the new fdF-Cloths, light

The bodice and sleeves OF the model

sleeves are long and close fitting about
the forearm. They taper TO the wrist
and extend in rounded point over the
hands. A rufie OF the material,
doubled, finishes the edges Of the
bodice at the front and across the
back. In many dresses Of mapped or

are used for finishing edges.

Detroit, Mich, June 25.-The most
amazing thing in the Ford automo-
bile works is the ward for consump-
tiVes.
Think of it! A factory that is
tuberculosis sanitarium!
Only these consumptives work and
are gaining in health as they work!
While walking about the factory
with Judge Neil, the mothers pension
advocate who has just held lengthy
conference with Millionaire Ford on
the latter's methods, Ford shyly drew
a document from his pocket and said:
81 have just received a report
which indicates that our plant here
may cure it's employees who have tu-
berculoSis."
Judge Neil wanted to know all
about it right away, so Ford sat down
and told us.
ct is known that dry air aids men
suffering from tuberculosis to re-
cover. l knew that we had place
in the shop where the air is very dry.
1t is the steel tempering room. The

air is very dry there. consulted

the experiment should be made. We

that they are useful and are made

cat other sanitariums every one is
sick. They talk about their trouble,
for they have nothing else to do.
They get discouraged and are separ-
ated from their regular work. But in
our heat treatment part of the idea
is to have the sick men work. They
earn wages. They are part of the
working organization, and the feel
ing that they are getting back into
the regular affairs of life aids in OBJ
tanning the beneficial results"
From the Office of the plant, the
conference, which included members
of Ford's sociological and surgical
staff. adjourned to the steel temper
ing room-the tuberculosis sanitar-
ium, if you please.
1t is building $50 feet long. 1t
has glass sides, and Is flooded with
daylight when the sick men are at
work. The floor is iron. Along one
side is a row of annealing furnaces.
From these furnaces the hot metal is
taken and laid on the floor to cool.
The temperature is high and the
air as dry as in the desert country
where tuberculosis patients are taken
to be cured.
Many of the men at work were
evidently suffering of the disease, but
on their faces were looks of hope, and
the entrance of Ford, their leader,
brought smiles and mods of familiar
ity and good will.
Charles Frizowsh, one of the sick
men, was met. His sleeves were roll
ed up and he was busily at work. The
surgeons referred to their records of
his case and it shows the results as

HOOD RIVER PRAISED
BY FRA ELBERTUS

(From an article by Ebert Hubbard in
Green's Fruit Grower)
The Hood River valley apples have
attained an international reputation,
This Hood River valley is one Of the
most picturesque and beautiful spots
one can imagine. The cool nights and
the warm sunshine of the days seem to
contribute exactly the right conditions
for apple culture.
4 However, there are many other dis
tricts that can produce just as good
fruit as the Hood River valley. provided
the same amount of genius is brought
to bear.
! admire the Hood River valley ap-
Piles, but admire the Hood River peo-
pie more. They have brought genius
to bear in the business Of apple culture
and apple salesmanship. They know
how to prepare their wares for the
market in the most attractive shape.
Many American apples command a
price in England. | have paid shill-
lug for a Hood River apple and had 1t
served on a silver platter with the or
iginal wrapper upon it, duly served by
fiunky in side whiskers, who expected
tip for his genius in selection. And
really, | was little proud of the fact
that people in America occasionally
do their work SO superbly we'll.
And, as the years go by, apple cul-
ture will receive a degree Of attention
that it has never had before. Fruits,
vegetables and poultry are now being
regarded just as important as corn,
wheat and oats, and, perhaps, little
more so.

MANY ROADS ARE
BUILT in OREGON
fFrom Portland JournaD

A notable advance was made this
year in Oregon in highway improve
ment. The total expenditure Of the
counties will approximate five million
dollars. The estimated amount for
1918 was three and one quarter mill
ions. The most notable expenditure
this wear was on the Columbia high
way by Clatsop, Columbia, Multomah
and Hood River counties, aggregating
over one million dollars. Second to
this was the expenditure Of half a
million dollars by jackson county on
the Pacific highway over the, Siskiyou
mountains.
In hard surface construction jackson
county leads the state. During the
year a paved road was built from Cen
trail Point to Ashland via Medford, a
distance of about IA miles.
A noticeable feature about this year, 8
expenditure is The tendency towards
more permanent construction. The old
wasteful policy is being gradually
eliminated and more attention is being
given to drainage and grades as the
base for future construction. Scientific
methods are being introduced and
trained men are being employed.
