RELATION OF WATERWAYS TO
RAILROAD LINES.

NJ. Smith brought TO the attention of
the Inland Waterways Commission the
ovcrshadowing importance to waterways
Of their relation with railroad lines, the
fa.t that the bulk OF the traffic is !ong
distance traffic. that it cannot pass over
tho whole distance by water, while It can
20 anyv here by rail. and that therefore
the power of the rail lines to pro-rate or
not to pro-ratc With water lines really de-
termines the practical value OF a river
channel The controlling value or ter
minals and the fact that out Of fifty or
our leading ports over half the active
water frontage in twenty-one ports was
controlled by the railroads was also
brought to the commissions attention,
and reports Of great value were prepared
both for the Inland WATERWAYS Commits
sion and for the National Conservation
Commission. In addition 10 developing
the basic facts about the available timber
supply. about waterways. water power
and ron ore Mr. Smith helped to develop
and drive into the public conscience the
idea that the people ought to retain title
10 our natural resources and handle them
BY the leasing system.
The things accomplished that have been
enumerated above were Of immediate con-
sequence TO the economic wellbeng or
our people. In addition, certain things
were done Of which the economic bearing
was more remote but which bore directly
upon our welfare, because they add 10 the
beauty Of living and therefore 10 the JOY
OF life. Securing a great artist Saint
Gaudens, TO give W. the most beautiful
coinage since the decay OF Hellenistic
Greece was one such act. In this case ]
had power myself to direct the Mint 10
employ Saint-Gaudens. The first and
most beautiful Of his coins were issued in
thousands before Congress assembled or
could intervene. and a great and perma-
nent improvement was made I'm the beauty
Of the coinage. In the same way, on the
advice and suggestion of Frank Milet. We

Mere Are Some Hints That May Help
You Through Your Ordeal.
Everybody breads the dentist. The
bravest heart quails at the thought OF
the man with the forceps. One who
has been through many trying expert
ences with the dentist and who has
made study of eficiency in all direc-
tons claims to have made some dis
coveries that ought to be helpful to
all. Here are some of bis suggestions.
Your siege In the dentist chair will be
greatly lightened il you will remember
a few things:
Keep the. throat moist by gargling
from time to time as you sit In the
chair with water mixed with some an
tiseptic preparation of an ordinary
character such as every dentist has at
hand.
1t is not bad idea before you go to
a dentist to take bit of chewing gum
In the moSth to promote a free low
of saliva. II the gum has flavor,
that will be helpful and will check the
tendency to dryness of the throat and
the tickling sensation that follows.
Carry a large handkerchief with per-
fnIne or cologne ON it. which you can
hold IN your hand and inhale the
cologne whenever you have a mo-
ment's rest You will find it very re-
freshing. While the dentist is at work
the handkerchief will give your I'm
gers something to clasp. This may
help to divert your attention from the
work on your teeth.
Relieve the strain upon your throat
at every opportunity while the dentist
ia changing his instruments by lifting
your head from the chair-for even a
single moment-and taking deep
breath. Shut your eyes and think of
some problem, some particular friend
or of some one in whom you are deep
Iy interested. This will divert your
thought from the dentists work
Remember that most of the pain we
fear we can escape. In these days
dentistry is less painful than ever be-
fore. 1t will probably never be entire
" painless, yet much Of the work OF
the dentist is now done without in
nicting pain, though, of course, it is
always unpleasant to have any one
operating with steel instruments in
your mouth.
II a painful moment comes while
you are sitting in the chair you can re-
Iieve it instantly by taking a long
breath. Try it and see. = Leslie
