While the Virginia police force, his
frantic parents and neighbors were
last evening searching in the neighbor-
hood of the 1saksen residence for Roy,
the six-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Roy 1saksen, 526 Larch street, the
little lad was fast asleep, curled up
on one of the benches at Southside
park.
He was found there at 1870 last
evening by Chief Of Police Gately and
returned to his excited parents, little
knowing what cause for anxiety his
absence had been. When found he
was just awakening from a sleep.
He was out to the park with his
parents earlier in the evening for the
band concert and in some manner got
separated from them. After a brief
fruitles search for them, Roy made
the best of the situation by curling up
on a banch at the park and going to
sleep.
In the meantime, his parents miss
ing him, called police headquarters and
the combined force of policemen, par
ents of the child, and the neighbors
began search, which was concluded
when Chief Of Police Owen Gately
found the boy at the Southside park.
He was rather lightly clad, but, it is
not believed, will suffer from the ex-
posure.
Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock the
two year old son Of miner living on
the Northside strayed away from its
home. Police headquarters was not
notified until about o'clock but short
ly after that Chief Gately picked the
child up on Maple street. 1t was
sprawled out on it's stomach on the
boulevard in front of the city hall,

GREAT IS ANXIETY
 FOR THE LAPLAND
Nothing Heard from Liner With Cargo of Munitions
 and SIS Passengers.

New York, Aug. 20.-Reports from London, Liverpool and Queenstown that the liner Lapland, now in the war zone, had fallen victim to torpedo from German submarine, caused great anxiety at the offices of the White Star line here today, and strenuous efforts to obtain exact in- formation as to her safety or de- struction.
 She was due to arrive in Liverpool today or early tomorrow morning.
 The Lapland sailed from this port August 12 for Liverpool, with 31s passengers, including IA Americans and a capacity cargo of war 1nuni' tions and other supplies. It is con- ceded by her owners if she has not been destroyed good luck alone has saved her, in the light of late news regarding the activity of the Ger mans in British waters.

to have good health has been long recognized, but only recently doctors worked out the relationship between decay of the teeth and Riggs disease on the one hand, and rheumatism heart disease on tho other. So firmly have these facts been proven that the up to date physician begins the treat ment of such diseases by an inquiry into the condition of the teeth and their sockets. If these are found to be diseased, the condition is cured before the treatment goes further. The discovery of the cause of Riggs disease is therefore of the very great est importance.
 It has long been known that ipecac would cure tho diseases which are caused by infection of the intestines with en1amoebae. From .his it was deduCed that similar treatment would cause the destruction of en- damoebae in the mouth. This was found to be the case, and emetin, the form of the drug used, is now ad- ministered by physicians for the Cure and prevention of the disease. It takes considerable time to get rid of all the malignant germs in this way, but the results have been remarkably good. The treatment is both local and general.
 In preventing mouth disease, it is important that the mouthl be cleaned several times day, and that a den tist be visited frequently to remove the tartar and the yellowish matt fer which accumulates along. the inner edges of the teeth and between the teeth. This is particularly important in the case of children, because fit has been fohnd' that many 2 child lis apparently%dlilltw who Is: 1 1ifif sl'e isfl'ealty sif- fering from ehrosto .po.isonilp 9n9il gsSp gpso- ddcedE Ebysa a mouth. fulll;xt5 lxetf 5efs asoayihg IeCtus o.. .'ftal -,-. tss V "A z, M

VETERANS, PENSIONS.

Notwithstanding the increased tax levy for the payment of Confederate pensions, which it was thought would be sufficient to pay the. veterans 100 eehts on the dollar for the amounts allowed, there has been such heavy increase in the number of pensioners that it is estimated not more than 50 or 60 cents on the dollar can be paid. It is believed the increase will nlmount to about 1900, bringing the total number on the rolls up to ap- proximately an aggregate of 10 900 The average pension is $100, so that It appears there will be a total of | more than one million dollars allow ed. The increased allowances more than make up for the deaths that oc cur during the year. In majority ol cases, a veteran pensioner who dies Is survived by his widow, to whom pension is granted.
 | There is none who would deny th' heroes of the Lost Cause t!he pitlfu amount of aid that comes from vmall pension allowance by the state and there is no legislation mor' popular in the general assembly Some have pointed out, however, th' danger of too great liberality, whlcl might lead to curtailment of th pension levy.

TRYING TO FORCE OUR HANDg

If it is true that the transatlantic liner Arabic was torpedoed by Ger man submarine without warning, in the face of the United States notifi- cation to the klaiser's government that such an act would be construed by the United States as "deliberately unfriendly," it would appear that Germany is trying to force ~oIfr' i,and." In other words, it would ap- gear that the kaiser is endeavoring to provoke the United States to action against Germany and on the side or the allies.
 It is difficult to believe that the German government would deliber- ately seek to add another to it's list of foes, unless by that means it seeks to further scheme of it's own. What that may be can only be coaiectured d. II may be that Germany seeks to pro yoke the United States to declara- ton of WET against Germany with a view of reducing the supplies of the allies, knowing that if this occurred this government would take charge of $ all intuition plants, and knowing also that our navy would be useless with her own tied up, and that there is no probability of American soldiers being sent to Europe. And then, again Germany may have another motive { She ray be seeking her own way te bring about a cessation of hostllitles
 There is one thing, however, that must be remembered. The Arabic was an English ship and had beer carrying munitions of war rom America to England ever since the ortbreak of the war, and though sne fad none on board when sunk there cre many who cannot but believe tha she was rightful prey of German war ships.
 Anyway, though we lay no claim t' talent as a diplomatist nor great Ia miliarity with international law, we hold the opinion that no break witl Germany will ensue from the sinK ;ro nY the Arabic, and it will not p' hecanse we are afraid of Germah' or any other country. but for 'h' r,;rnnle reason that the administrators swill not undertake to avenge the s'nA ssng of British ship, engaged ID tne < IN snort of munitions of War.
