A Mule 81 Years Old.

Lancaster News.
Probably the oldest mule in
Lancaster county, owned by Mr..
Lewis Cole, of Pleasant Hill,
died Monday night March 10th.
Mr.. Cole purchased this mule in
August, 1881, from the late Capt.
L. ]. Perry, who raised her.
She was then 4 years of age.
Had she lived until August, 1914
-wea4dhape been 81 years old
1t is very seldom nowadays that
you hear of a mule or horse
having only two masters. In
their old age they are usually
traded from one to another and
often fall into bad hands and are
i'll treated. This was not the
case with Mr.. Cole. 1t has been
about six years since this ami
NAL did any active work. Yet
he kept and treated her kindly
for the feeling he had for her
and the good she had done him.
MIR. Cole will surely be reward
ed for the act. On Wednesday
a nice coffin was made and she
was buried OH Mr.. Coles planta-
ton. Truly Exit" has always
had a good master.

and many of them and travel
slow and difficult. Returning

mile macadam road, a smooth
surface AID a road which was a
delight to drive on. What made
the change? Why, Mr.. ]. ].
Morgan had used a King road
drag for a short while that was
all. Just one man and a team
and that drag had done the work
and the bill for the tax payers to
foot will be less than two dollars.

An Old Elephant Story

The killing of that elephant t
over at Hartsville the other day
reminds the writer of funny
incident that occurred in York
vile some IS years ago, infor
nation of which has come down
through tradition. 1t is an ele.
phant story and a true one. John
Robinson's circus, then one of
the biggest shows in the country
but small compared with some
OF the smallest railroad shows
that tour the country these days,
was showing in Yorkville not
many yards from the spot on
which Trinity parsonage now
stands. Preceding the arrival
of the show there had been ad-
vance rumors of the dangerous
doings of an i'll tempered ele-
phant that belonged to the out
fit -one of the very few, if not
the only elephant in America
at the time. iAfter the big crowd
had gathered and the show had
commenced, the elephant broke
loose from its keeper and started
on a rampage. There was a
great commotion as a result, and
the panic, stricken people broke
away in every direction. There
was a lot of joking and laughing
about the matter after the dan
ger was over; but the incident
that seemed funniest and which
lived longest, dealt with the con-
duct Of a young gentleman who
was present as the escort of sew
eral young ladies. He pulled a
small pearl handled pen knife
from his pocket, opened the tiny
blade, and in very excited tone
said: DO not be afraid ladies, |
am here to defend you'll" The
elephant was gotten under con-
troll for the time being; but few
days later it became unruly
again near Camden and had to
be shot BY the owners Of the
circus.-Yorkviile Enquirer.

fiiS thC tlSSuSS, dllu Naturally
does you little good. Even
though you eat a pound of food
at one meal, if ii is not properly
.chewed, you may be starving
your body without your really
knowing it.
Besides preventing toothache,
helping to do away with stom-
ach troubles and warding off
disease germs from the mouth,
well-kept teeth give other advan-
tages. For instance, just from a
standpoint of good looks, you
boys and girls know is we'll as |
that there is nothing which adds
more to ones personal appear
ance than nice well-cared for
teeth. Just think this over when
you are making up your mind
to use your toothbrush even
more faithfully than your are
doing.
The tooth is composed of three
parts. The top is a laver of very
hard material called "enamer"
that forms cap over the rest of
the tooth, just as a thimble sets
over the end of finger. II takes
decay quite a long time to make
its way through this hard outer
covering. Under the enamel"
is a second layer known as "den-
tine" This is a much softer
material and when decay reaches
here it progresses very rapidly.
The sensible way to guard
against toothache is to keep de-
cay from attacking the protecting
layer of enamel. Acids start the
decay. Those acids come from
decaying food materials arc und
and between the teeth. By keep
ing the teeth carefully brushed
food PARTICLES will not remain
there to decay. and then those
decay-causing acids cannot be
formed, so there will be nothing
to bring about toothache.
II IS Surprising ilrat very few
people know how to properly
brush the teeth, and in order that
you may have the right idea, /
am going to give you a demon
stration Of the method to be en-
ployed:
First of all, get good tooth
brush shaped as though you had
taken a bite out of it. By placing
it in water for two or three hours
before first using it, the bristles
swell and hold firmly in place.
Do not use anybody else's. or let
anyone else use yours. Always
brush the teeth from the gums;
that is the upper teeth down
ward and the lower teeth up
ward. Brush the grinding sur
faces, or tops of the teeth. Then
go to the inner surfaces and
just as much care should be
given those surfaces as the outer.
Now the two times day when
1t is necessary to brush your
teeth are morning and night.
There is no objection to brush
ing them after each meal if you
wish TO do so, but twice day
is really sufficient if you are
very careful to brush thoroughly
those two times. The food par
ticles should be removed how
ever after each meal, with
piece of floss silk. If you do
not have the floss, use soft quill
tooth picks.
These are the everyday rules
for the care of the teeth-brush
them morning and night, and af-
ter each meal remove the food
PARTICLES.
Occasionally there will! be
small places between the teeth

Keep Your Teeth Clean

aggressive farmer last week,
and is well worth your time:
Boys and girls, / am to talk to
you upon the subject of THE
Care of the Teeth" In the first
place | want to prove to you
that toothache is unnecessary.
Then will show you that be-
cause tooth has ached is NOT
sufficient reason for having il.
pulled, because the dentist can,
even after the tooth h as ached,
put medicine into it that will
prevent further pain, and more
over preserve the tooth for
many years of valuable service.
We need everyone of Our
teeth; we need them every day;
we need them three times a day.
AS one little boy has very aptly
expressed it, we need them
every time we put our feet un-
der the table," 1t has been said
that the loss of one of the large
teeth in the rear of the mouth
means the cutting off of year
from the end of a persons life.
Let us see how the teeth play
such an important part in the
preservation or loss of our health.
The two sets of teeth coming
together in the mouth form q
sort of mill, the purpose of which
is to grind the food and prepare
1t for the stomach. From 250 to
400 pounds pressure is brought
upon the food in chewing, there
by forcing bits of food into the
spaces between the teeth, and if
allowed to remain there several
hours these bits of food begin to
decay. Trouble in several diff
ferent ways is going to result.
First, deeaying materials are
poisonous. If you ate decayed
meats or vegetables, you wonlx
expect them to MAKE you sick
Yet if the teeth are unclean,
every time you swallow, the
saliva carries from between the
teeth small particles of that old
food. Every bit of the clean
food taken into the mouth to
chew is mixed with those decay
ed particles before going to the
stomach. You can easily under
stand that constant swallowing
of this poisonous matter from
lodgment places between the
teeth will poison the system and
bring about sickness. This is
one of the first troubles likely to
result from improper care of the
teeth.
People speak of having indi-
gestion. Perhaps some of you
nave touches of it yourselves.
If so, remember that frequently
an indirect cause is the failure to
make regular use of the tooth
brush and dental cream.
If you let food particles lodge
against the surface of the teeth,
we know decay results, and a
cavity forms. This grows deep
er until it reaches the centre of
the tooth and irritates the
nerve" or as dentists call it, the
pulp" Once decay has touch
ed this nerve the tooth begins to
ache, and then you decide to
have it pulled out. What is the
result? You have simply taken
away that much of the grinding
surface; therefore, that much of
your ability to chew your food.
From studying Physiology and
Hygiene, you know that to get
the full value out of the food
you eat, it must not only be
throughly prepared, but also
throughly chewed before it goes
to the stomach; and you cannot
