QUICK WITTED

A lecturer who protested against
people going to sleep during his dis
QUESTIONS on heather lands, would, it
he perceived any tendency in that d.
rection, introduce some queer or start
ling statement to revive their tagging
attention. On one occasion, when his
audience seemed rather somnolent, he
Numbered out: "Ah, YOU have 10
idea Of the suffering Of Englishmen in
Central America, on account of the
enormous mosquitoes. A great many
Of these pests would weigh pounl,
and they will get on the logs and bark
as the white men are passing.'
By this time all ears and eyes were
wide open, and he proceeded to finish
his lecture. The next day he was call
ed upon to account for his extraorai-
nary statements. "But I didn't saw
one mosquito would weigh a pound, -
he protested; "I said great many of
them would. I think perhaps mil
lion of them might do 500 "But
you said they bark at the missionaries y
persisted his interlocutor. emo, no,
my dear sir; said they would get on
the logs and on the bark. You misun'
derstood me.''

songs met with great applause. Her

Sinding's "There Cried q Bird' ap-
pealed to her listeners in an especial
manner.

rhythm was most beautifully rendered
The masterful and pleasing manner in
which the two numbers, Liebesfren&e
and Liebescene, were played is worthy
Of much praise.

The best time to begin these periodic

II Tie duty of teachers, dentists, ply
sicians and healtA officers.
People in general should be more f.
niliar with the important subject OF
oral hygiene. Besides local pains,
aches and assesses, neglected teeth
often cause serious constitutional dis
eases. For example what people COM
monty call rheumatism, is due often to
a bacterial invasion by way Of the
blood stream from diseased teeth to
the joint in question. The part that
good teeth and proper mastication play
in food digestion is not emphasized
often enough. At times although the
germs on the diseased teeth may not
enter 3he blood stream, they produce
poisons which are absorbed and lower
the vitality of the individual. This
not only makes person less efficient,
but lenders him especially susceptible
to pneumonia AMI other acute infec-
tions. The germs of most Of the in
fectious diseases including the com
mon influenza (cold germ) gain en-
trance to the body through the mouth
or nose When the latter organs are
in health resistant condition. invaders
are not so apt to gain a foothold-
Dentistry is a special field of medi,
cine which has made wonderful pro
logress in the last decade. So rapid has
been the development that it has been
difficult even for medical men not tt
mention laymen, to keep posted Ger
tain problems, for example the roll
played by devitalized teeth have not
as yet been investigated to the salts
faction Of dentists. They and medical
men agree. however, that the conditio,

THE DEAD TOWN

Did you ever 60 into a town and,
assyou stepped from the train, have it
strike you suddenly that the town was
deads Have you ever had a town de.
scribed to you as a "dead' town9
Have you ever stopped to analyze just
what is meant by these words "dead
town?' In the last analysis they mean
just one thing-and that is that the
merchants Of the town don It advertise,
A dead town has certain positive as:
poets Of demise which are as bald as
q piece of crepe hanging on the door
Of a private house. The stores seem
to be merely existing. Their shelves
are covered with apparently unsalea-
BILE goods. The storekeepers seem to
be vying with each other to see which
will win the first prize as the town
crouch. IF you talked with them they
knocked the town, they knocked bust
ness, they knocked the mail order
house. They were continually COM
planning that other people did business
and made money but that they didn t
seem to be able to sell anything. They
guessed it was the town. Yes, that
was 1.-THE town. If you asked that
merchant if he advertised, he would
have looked at you with amazement.
What was the use Of advertising when
business was 50 bad? People who had
good money to spend, he would tell
you, were sending it to the mail orde,
houses. No, he would say he didn t

90 into live town and what will you
see? The merchants have attractive
displays in their stores. The daily or
weekly newspapers are filled with big
announcements Of special sales or low
! priced goods. They are not :fraid OF
the mail order houses because they have
the same means to reach the people
advertising-that makes the mail or
der house great. The merchants have
local associations for mutual help, an"
behind the association the local news

To find her treasures all were there.
