CURRENT COMMENT
Free Advertising.

And now comes our old friend, Chester
]. Campbell. promoter OF various under
takings in and about Boston, seeking
more free publicity. Chester is a great
boy when il comes TO working the coun-
try press. He is publicity agent for the
Rockingham fair and for about every
thing that is pulled of in Mechanics
building, Boston. He furnishes columns
and columns of typewriter copy to the
newspapers booming the various enter
prises with which he Is connected and
modestly states with each installment
that Il can be used Immediately and
that there is no charge. What does the
newspaper get out Of iti Four tickets
to the show and the great and glorious
privilege Of travelling TO Boston at bis
own expense and using them; two dol
lars worth of tickets for SIS worth Of
advertising. We notice that real money
has to be paid the Boston papers for
their advertising space. Chester has
probably learned that il is different in
come country newspaper offices or he
wouldn't continue sending his copy. We
hasten to say that The Times Office Is
run on the Boston plsns-Bellows Falls
Times.

Earliest Coal Mine in Missouri.

The occurrence of coal in Missouri APP
pears to have been known as early az
1906, when, according TO AN account of
expeditions TO the sources Of the Missis-
sippi," by Zebulon NJ. Pike, il was noted
on the banks Of Usage river. The coal
attracted the attention of the early set
tiers, who opened. il is said, many small
mines. There Is no record of the guam
tity Of coal produced in those early
days in Missouri. the FIRST statement re-
garding the quantity mined in the state
being contained in the report of the
United States census for ls40, which rec
ords a production in that year Of 9,o27
tons.

WHAT SPRING HAS IN STORE
That May Be Accepted az Being
Assured Of Adoption.

1t Is at this time of year that all
women devote little energy to won
dering what the spring has in store
for US. Some idea of the things to
come may be gathered here and there.
but one hears SO many rumors that 1t
Is difficult to coordinate the informa-
ton and draw from 1t any definite in
dication of the fashions for tomorrow.
There are, however. a few general
facts which, without doubt, may be
accepted as authentic: Skirts have
taken to themselves a greater width.
which Is expressed by graceful gath
ers, by superimposed fiounces. or.
when 1t is a case Of heavy material,
by fat plaits over the hips. Probably
by springtime every trace Of mar
rover underskirt will have been elm
inated-a fact that gives US cause for
rejoicing. Sleeves will be long. gen.

without fullness. Collars, for the most
part, will be high-a la militaire-

eleven in the morning. A very few min
utes suffice for each case because the
curing effected by the apparatus with
in the mouth is so gradual a process.
Six operators had perhaps sixty or sew
enty cases in their chairs during the
short time that the correspondent was
permitted to remain in the clinic. The
majority of the cases so far have come
from the wounded taken directly to the
hospital from the front, but during the
last few weeks many cases have been
received from other hospitals whose
surgeons have heard of the work be-
ing done by the American dental clinic.
Most of these cases were for reopera-
ton. of course.
In addition to the more serious sur
gical work which the American den
fists are carrying on large amount OF
extremely important minor work in the
way of repairs to bad teeth is being
accomplished. Soldiers who cannot eat
cannot fight and it takes better than
ordinary teeth to chew army food. The
number of men who have been sent
back from the trenches because they
have broken off their rotted teeth by
biting on hard biscuits and have then
fallen ill from indigestion of food
swallowed whole is very large. There
are also in the regular military hos
pitfalls of Paris and the provincial cities
hundreds of men who have simply lost
their false teeth in the trenches. The
state of dental culture in France is so
low-until 1894 any person whatsoever
could hang out his dentists sign
that the ordinary recruit has teeth
which an American dentist would say
offhand made him useless for long
campaigning.
The English soldiers, too, have very
bad teeth. The consequence is that
trenches, even among officers, strange
as that may seem. One English gen.
eral even had to have a dentist visit
him under fire to pull a tooth.
Important as Good Feet.
The point which the American dem
lists emphasize is that dental work is
so rapidly done that it would be pos
sible to have every man properly
equipped with chewing apparatus in
time Of peace and that eating is such
an important part of a soldiers ac-
tivity that it is as foolish to send him
out to battle with bad teeth as it would
be to drill men with impossibly Grip
pied feet with the idea of making ex-
cellent marchers out of them. In
order to raise the dental standard in
armies, of course, it will be necessary
to grant medical rank to dental practi.
TONERS, who consider themselves as
medical men who have taken up the
legitimate medical specially of the
teeth and mouth.
Thus it is hoped that the war may
have the incidental good effect of ad-
vertising the tremendous social value
Of the American dental standard and
introducing into armies some sort of
systematic treatment of this important
matter.

HEALTH HINTS WORTH while
Remedies for Distressing Insomnia
Leaving Powder on the Face All
Night 10 a Great Mistake.

To overcome sleeplessness one
should perform intense mental work
during the first part of the day. The
evenings should be devoted to a uni
form occupation in a uniform environ
ment, and one should be careful to
take a sufficient amount of exercise.
If the lungs are cramped by i'm.
proper posture they fail to get the
proper amount Of oxygen and do not
throw off the waste and poisonous mat
tiers they should.
A warm bath will often draw the
blood to the surface of the body, and
thus bring about sleep.
Those who persist in going over In
their minds the affairs of the day
should sip a cupful of warm water

Long after she and everyone else Of
this generation shall have become
dust, Audrey Munson, who posed for
three-fifths of all the statuary Of the
Panama-Pacific exposition, will live in
the bronzes and canvasses of the art
centers of the world. Her form and
features are depicted on every prin-
cipal building at the exposition. At
least twenty million persons will be-
hold the wonderfully modelled head
and figure of the girl during 1915. Miss
Munson began posing when she was
fourteen years old and during the
nine years that have passed she has
been in constant demand by Americas
foremost painters and sculptors. The
figure of this slender, graceful girl
considered by modern critics as the
nearest approach to the classic lines
of Venus-is reproduced in sculpture
from one end Of the country to the
other. Miss Munson lives in New
York.
