ct is rather remarkable. said the
review, THAT in most sections where
business conditions are at their worst,
there is much optimism for the immed
late future and a general feeling that
with normal crops there will be very
great Improvement in all business mat
tiers during the remainder of this year.
i" Manufacturing is exceedingly quiet
throughout the country. Mining of all
kinds suffers from strikes and lack of
demand Lumber interests are feeling
the dearth of building especially in
small towns and in the country. The
railroads, because of decreasing reve-

naturally, caused much apprehension

centers of the West and SouNl.
Against these unfavorable condi

CLAIMS PYORRHEA CURE.
Says Germ Responsible For Disease of
Teeth Infected Soldiers In Philippines.

Says Germ Responsible For Disease of
Teeth Infected Soldiers In Philippines.
DR.. Michael T. Barrett, a Phiiadel
phia dentist, announces that he has
found the germ which causes that
dread disease of the teeth-pyorrhea.
Every since dentistry became science
this disease, which causes teeth TO
drop from the gums and makes the
use of false teeth necessary, has been
the subject of study and investigation,
always with small result.
There is low animal organism of
the amoeba type which L believe is en-
tirely to blame for the presence of
pyorrhea in the mouth" said DR.. Bar
rett. Il have examined forty seven
patients who We're afflicted with pyor-
rhea, and in every instance found this
same animal organism existing in the
gums.
81 was aided in finding a treatment
for the disease by the fact that this
same amoeba which l believe is the
cause of pyorrhea in the mouth was
found several years ago to be the cause
of dysentery and liver trouble among
our soldiers in the Philippines. Work
ing on his theory, applied solution
of emetine to the diseased tissues of
the mouths in which found pyorrhea
existing and the pyorrhea disappeared
coincident with the killing of the
amoeba."

broad powers of municipal ownership,
centraliZing the municipal government

q merit system, a legislative assembly
of one house and the initiative, refer

tive official will be liable to recall on
petitions signed by 20 per cent of the
registered voters, in two-thirds of the
wards.
Mayor Kiel and Comptroller Player
will serve until 1917, the terms for
which they were elected by the people.
| While all the other elective officers
| hold Office during the terms for which
/ they were elected, TO 1917, they, in
/ effect, become appointiye officers after
/ the charter goes into effect.
/ Officials viii be appointed by the
1 mayor as follows: Assessor, collector,
treasurer, supply commissioner, reg
lister, city counsellor, city marshal, two
city court judges, president of the
board of public service, director of
public utilities, director of streets and
sewers, director of public welfare and
directors of public safety.
i The mayor also viii appoint an eff
cheney board, similar to the civil ser
vice commission. This board will pass
upon applications for all city positions
not elective or appointiye.
The directors of streets and sewers,
public welfare and public service. with
president, will constitute the board
of public service.
The comptroller is to be the head of
the department of finance, but the bud
