IF GRANOAO'S GUMS
FADE, DON'T WORRY

If granfather smiles at you with a
sort of purplish or yellow smile, do
not send for the doctor. He may
seem to have nine kinds of smallpox,
or "yaller janders" or something,
but no. He smiles thus because the
artificial gums of his false teeth are
colored with dye that runs. This re-
grettable situation is reported by the
Dental Manufacturers club of the
United States, which met at the Au-
ditorium hotel in Chicago the other
day. Since the war there have been
no German dyes. Hence it has been
impossible to make store teeth with
fast colored gums. The gums fade,
turn yellow and purple, and look like
the dickens. The dentists and dental
manufacturers hope to remedy the
evil.

EXPECTS DOLLAR SILVER

Silver is now quoted in the sixties
and advancing rapidly, with a fair
chance of reaching rs long before
the war closes. After that when re-
organization comes to Europe, silver
will be in such demand that it will
no doubt go to 81 per ounce, and it
may not stop even at that price. says
the Ely Record. The Asiatic coun-
tries and India are also in the mar
ket for the white metal for coinage
purposes, which is creating an addi-
tional demand. 1t is announced that
Russia has placed orders with j. P.
Morgan & Co. for 200. 900. 900 ounces,
which is strong indication that
Russia will adopt the double stand
ard even before the close of the war.
The high price of silver and all
other metals means renewed pros
perity for Nevada, which is now
rapidly coming into its own as pro-
ducer of precious metals. 1t is stated
that at the present time 1000 mines
are operating in Nevada. and that
work will soon be resumed on many
old-time mines that have been idle
for the past 40 and so years. Ne
vada is now coming to the front with
leaps and bounds, and is to-day no
doubt the most prosperous subdi-
vision in the union.

ElkO May License Gambling

Elko Independent: At their meet
ing this afternoon, the County Com
missioners are considering the ques-
ton of licensing all games in Elko
and Carlin.
District Attorney Carville has
given the opinion that ordinances
might be adopted which would pro-
vide for the licensing Of games in
towns having town government,
and if the Attorney General, who is
expected tomorrow, concurs in this
opinion, there is little doubt that
such ordinances will be passed.
The recent grand jury called atten-
tion to the fact that the gaming laws
are being violated daily, and the sher-
iff was directed to take steps to en-
force the law. In the opinion of the
Board the matter can best be regu-
lated by providing for high license
for all games. Furthermore, con-
siderable amount of revenue for
town purposes could in this way be
secured.
We believe that such action by the
Board would meet with popular favor.

AS A POLICE CHIEF HEALEY Is A
GREAT TRAFFIC SQUAD HEAD

GREAT TRAFFIC SQUAD HEAD
What does the city council think
about the chief Of police? What do
the aldermen think of man who
has ignored, stalled and failed to en-
force the ordinances passed by that
body.
One alderman, VIM. Rodriguez,
says that Chief Healey should be
ousted for the good and welfare of
the people of Chicago. ..
His whole attitude throughout his
administration Of the affairs of the
department has been one of incom-
petence and shows his inability to
grasp the situation" said Rodriguez
1.-THE department has been consid-
cred joke since his appointment
Council should demand his discharge
from the position of police chief for
his disregard of vital laws passed by
this body. ..-
"This action by the council would
seem to be in accordance with the
views of the mayor, provided he has
been attentive to the failure of the
police department under Healey. 1
Mayor Thompson himself, some
time after he had appointed Healey,
said the department was rotten. He
ISLANDERS the whole department be-
cause of the failure of it's heads to
enforce the ordinances passed by this
body, and which, at the time of their
passage, were considered legal"
From time to time a rumor has
gone the rounds that Healey was go
ing back to head the traffic squad,
which he made the best in the world.
Both the mayor and the chief have
refuted it. Again it comes stronger
than ever.
Healey refused to enforce the fen
der ordinance, getting an opinion
from the corporation council saying
it was illegal when the council had
twice asked him, why the delay?"
