Before the Toothbrush,

Before the invention Of tOOthbrushes
people used to clean their teeth with
linen. This is evident from William
Vaughan's Fifteen Directions to Pre-
serve Health" published 1902, in which
the author tells those who want to
keep the teeth white and uncOrrupt"
that they must wash the mouth after
every meal. "sleepe with the mouth
somewhat open and in the morn.
ing take a linnen-cloth and rub the
teeth well within and without" In
Vaughan's time several varieties Of
tooth powder we're known. the recipe
for one of the simplest being as fol-
lows: "Burne piece of Corke till 1t
looks like a Coale. then take 1t out OF
the Eyre and it will fall to ashes.

CARE OF GOOD CLOTHES.
The Finer the STUFF the More Watch.
full One Should Be.

1t is very common mistake to be-
lieve that good materials, whether OF
cotton, silk or wool, need less care than
cheap ones. How often does one COM
plain of the lack of wearing quality In
garment for which a big price has
been paid. Yet, most frequently, what
has worn out the fabric has not been
actual use, but the neglect 1t has suf-
fered.
One of the principal differences be-
tween good and cheap materials Is that
the better grades are finer spun. This
may mean that the fabric is stronger
and, in proportion to the uses to which
1t is put, may wear longer, but 1t also
means that each tiny thread by itself is
weaker and more apt to injury. Any
thing which may attack the threads
one by one, therefore, does more harm
with fine goods than with coarse.
No matter how careful one may try
to be. clothes that one wears gradually
get tri1e of the grease from the per.
spiration of the body. In spite Of con-
slant watching clothes will become
dusty. This combination of dust and
body moisture forms regular breeding
ground for tiny little vegetable growths.
These are so small that 1t takes the
most powerful microscope even to see
them.
In themselves these bacteria do but
little harm. but many Of them set free
an acid which eats into the fiber Of the
material. If the individual fiber is
coarse the deposit Of the acid upon II
Is not enough to eat all the way
through. but if it Is sheer or woven Of
fine threads one by one the threads are
eaten through and the texture weak
ened
Good clothing, instead Of being kept
shut away in boxes and drawers, should
be constantly aired and shaken. The
finer the material the more often should
1t be looked after. A coarse piece of
goods will wear out by using, fine
piece by being laid away.-New York

AT THE CHURCHES
Baptist Church Notes.

Last Sunday the Baptist church
with the other churches in the city
enjoyed the visit of the Methodists in
the absence of Brother Douglass.
In the evening the theme was Co
ing Backward" Our God is a God of
progress. The development of a
spiral nebula into our solar system
was a great step of progres in the
universe. The change of Mt. Mazama
from burning crater, belching forth
burning gases, lava and rock, into a
quiet crater with vegetation on its
rim, and one of the most beautiful
lakes in the world in its bosom, was
step of advancement in the earth's
surface. There has also been great
advancement in the race. Abraham
was one of the great men of his day.
But Abraham was a nomad. He built
no schools, hospitals or churches. He
had many wives. Although a man Of
faith, ii is doubtful If he was mission
ary in spirit. He was a great man
in his day; but the great and good
men of today live on higher moral
and more serviceful plain than the
great man of faith of the age past.
SO God has gone forward with his
works; but men and nations have at
times gone backward. Sin is what
retards the wheels of progress. The
great sins are forsaking God and de-
spising the Holy One of Israel with
all that this entails. "The OK know.
est his owner, and the ass his mas
ter's crib; but Israel doth not know
my people doth not consider. The
dumb animals know their masters
voice; but men refuse to answer tc
the sound of gentle stiffness in theil
souls, and they are, therefore
"estranged and gone backward"
Rally day of the Sunday school will
be October 10.
The themes for next Sunday are:
Thinking Evil and Thinking Good,
and THE Soul and Fruit of Relig-
ion."

Dryden, has proclaimed with resonant
emphasis:

Nevertheless how many young stu
dents of electricity today ever heard
of William Gilbert?
1T was Gilbert, Queen Ellzabeth's
court physician. who first puzzled his
brains with rubbed amber and bits OF
glass and silk and shellac," says Mr.
Wells. and so began the qulckening
of the human mind to the existence of
this universal presence, And even
then the science of electricity remained
a mere little group of curious. facts for
200 years, connected perhaps with mag
netlsm-a mere guess that-perhaps
with the lightning. - Except for
the lightning conductor, 1t was go
years before electricity stepped out of
the cabinet Of scientific curiosities into
the life of the common man."

trous to an Army.
II you suffer defeat in front Of a
great town and have to retreat through
1t under the blows Of the victorious
enemy you are In the worst possible
position for conducting that retreat.
The streets of the town Out few Of
which will run parallel to your course

defiles in which your columns will get

may be compared to the pouring of

side the place. You will run the risk
of a partial and perhaps of complete
disaster as the enemy presses on.
There is very much more than this.
A great town cannot but contain. If
you have long occupied it, the material

enemy should not see. You will GER

In general, to fight in front of a

conference will be held, already is
arranging to have addresses by the
leading marketing experts Of the
northwest. The growers will discuss
the experiences of the 1915 season
and will devise ways and means OF
meeting the 1916 situation so as to
produce profit for the orchard in
dustry.
This is a year to study distribu-
ton in the apple market" states Mr..

Forward Pass Will BE Much in Evi.
dence.

dence.
Keen students of football believe
that the much maligned forward pass
will come into its own this season,
and that more of the open style game
will be exhibited than in years. If
they are right, it marks the capitula-
tion of raft of eastern critics, and
particularly eastern coaches, who
heretofore have gazed down with
rather lofty disdain on that play.
The east for years has looked as
kance at the forward pass. It has
been regarded as last ditch resort
to be used only in the last half or
quarter in final desperate attempt
to pull a game out of the fire. 1t
was too dangerous, they contended,
and it would never work against
really formidable defense.
The first big intersectional combat
in 1913 gave 'em jolt. Little Notre
Dame, with a rattlng good football
team and no reputation, came east to
meet Uncle Sans army aggregation
at West Point. What happened is
history now. The Hoosiers simply
buried the soldiers under an ava
lanche of skillful passing, executed
by little Gus Dorias and his mates.
The army was squelched, 35 to '13.
The east gasped. This wasn't foot
ball, at least not as she was played
in the east. However, it didn't take
the army long to get "hep" to the
situation, and in the annual army
navy scrap that same year the SOL
diers won hands down. The victory
was directly attributable to clever
passing. Other eastern coaches,
however, have been slow in following
suit.
Be that as II may, 1t is generally
understood that the forward pass
adds lot to the game from the spec
tator's viewpoint. Two teams, both
good ones on defense, vainly bucking
each others stonewall lines, and re-
sorting to futile end runs, doesn't ap-

Canal Opening
Epoch Making

The Dalles, Ore, May 5.-Marking
an epoch in the development of the
Pacific northwest, The Dalles-Celilo
canal and locks which make possible
the uninterrupted navigation OF the
Columbia river from the Pacific
ocean 497 miles to Lewiston, Idaho,
on the Snake river, and 456 miles to
Priest Rapids, Wash, on the upper
Columbia, were officially opened
Thursday.
The ceremonies took place at Big
Eddy, four miles east of here, at a
point adjacent to the canal.
Heretofore cargoes of river steam
ers had to be portrayed around the
Cello rapids, distance of 81 miles
over a state-operated railroad. Now
the steamers will go directly through
the canal and locks. Where two lines
of steamers, one on each side of the
rapids, were necessary in navigating
the river, only one will be needed
now.
A pretty feature of the dedicatory
exercises was the christening through
the breaking of bottles containing
water from all the tributaries of the
Columbia by bevy of beautiful girls
Thousands of persons crowded botf
sides of the canal during the cere
monies, among them being a commit
tee of senators and congressman, rep
resenting the United States govern
ment, the governors and legislative
committees from the Pacific north
western states.
Preceding the opening ceremonies
a program. including auto trips fol

tor boat races and marine sports, was
given in this city.

Guy Bates Post to
Appear at Vining

One of the most notable scenes in
"Omar, the Tentmaker," in which
Guy Bates Post comes to the Vining
Theatre for a nights engagement
Saturday, June 5, shows the interior
of an Oriental home and the streets
on each side of it, This is the first
time that such an effect has ever
been presented on the stage. Rich
ard Walton Tully, author of the Per-
sian love-play. which was the big
dramatic success of last season in
New York, was eager to reproduce
the atmosphere of the east, and he
took this means. Wilfred Buckland,
his partner, for ten years stage di-
rector for David Belasco, suggested
the use of triple arch. By this way
the audience is epabled to see the in
terror of Omar's home, with all it's
wonderful tapestries, the narrow
light of evening. and beyond them on
either sire the tavern and the potter's
shop. BY this great scenic achieve
ment the audience can see what goes
on inside the home, and outside at
the same time. The triple arch is to
be copied in new production this
season in New York, the most direct
form of compliment to Tully and
Buckland.
