Easy to Keep All
Teeth PearIy White

1t will be found quite easy to keep
the teeth white shining and free from
discoloration by brushing them daily
with refined avatol. This is much more
satisfactory than the usual tooth pow
ders and creams. Not, only because
avatol is free from elements which
might injure the enamel or cause the
gums to shrink but because it will
really clean the teeth, removing even
the most obstinate stains and deposits
The reason so many teeth are never
thoroughly clean no matter how much
they are brushed and scrubbed, is the
presence of transparent films, or
"placques." so called, which adhere to
the tooth surface and which become
discolored by dirt, decayed food, nico-
tine or other things. These films are
really thin layers of fat-whicb ac-

continual prayer for their leader who
was in prison. That was not the sort
of prayer meeting that grows restless
if ii lasts even five minutes past Q
O'Clock. 1t is a beautiful glimpse of
a church in house that this narra-
tive gives us. AS we see in this cot
tage prayer" meeting, when it comes
to praying, the women may be
counted on. How constantly Christian
women have been driven to prayer.
That was a fearful, solemn meeting
held in Marys house.
Suddenly all were shocked by Wig
orous knock at the door. Some bad
news" we can hear some pessimist
whispering. But young Rhoda. or
Rose, as her name means, who could
be easily spared slipped to the door TO
see what the interruption meant.
There she heard Peters voice. and in
her exciteme ent ran back to tell the news
without opening the door to let him
in. Just like a woman" says cynic.
Rhodas tidings were received with
open unbelief. You are craZy!" 1T
is q ghost" The Christians could not
believe that their own prayers had
been answered.
Too Good to BE True"
All the while Peter stood knocking
at the door. The vigor and the eager
ness of his blows showed that they
were not spirit rappings. At last
somebody collected his or her wits
enough to let the apostle in.
Then followed such prayer meet
ing as the Church has seldom seen.
II was given over to Peters expert
ence," interrupted by many eXclama-
tions of amazement and Thanksgiving.
| am sure that some of our conven-
tionalized church to-day would have
been shocked at the excitement of
that meeting in Marys house.
The story shows the antiquity of
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-04-28

one of the most heretical doctrines
ever cherished by Christ tians, namely,
that a thing could be TOO good to be
true"
AS had been Peters attitude toward
the visit of the angel, so was the
state of mind of these Christians.
They did not have faith enough in
their own prayers, or in the prayer-an-
swering God, to believe that what they
wanted most could really come to
pass. As if God ever designed less for
His children than they desire for
themselves. God is always better than
mans expectations. A young minis
ter once complained to Spurgeon that
he did not have many converts as a
result of his preaching.
We'll you surely don't expect con-
verts every week." replied the great
preacher.
"Oh, no, not at ALL" the inquirer
hastened to reassure him.
Then according to your faith be
it unto you," was the sound answer of
Spurgeon.
There are mothers who will read
these lines who have a haunting fear
that they love their babies too much.
Others see the shadow of impending
sorrow because their happiness is too
good to last. Out upon all these vile

planning ever more beautiful things
for us that the Imagination can de-
wise, until we came to the supreme
experience where we shall realize,
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither hath entered into the heart
of man the things which God hath
prepared for them that love Him."

himself went into retirement for a
time. He could not ask for a repeti-

A Never Failing Way

(Aids to Beauty

No woman is immune to superfluous
growths, and because these are likely
to appear at any time. it is advisable
to always have some delatone powder
handy to use when the occasion arises.
A paste is made with some of the pow

hairy surface; in about minutes this
is carefully removed and the skin
washed. You will then find that your
skin is entirely free from hair or fuzz.

State College
Has Share in
Preparedness
(By Special cOrrespoDdent.)

Agricultural College, IN. M, March
2S.-War on the Mexican border, only
a comparatively short distance from
Las Cruces, has given added impetus
to the military work Of the 125 soldier
boys at the State Agricultural college.
Military training Is an important
part OF the curriculum at the college
and has been fostered and encouraged
by DR.. George q. Iadd ever since be
assumed the presidency of the instt-
tuition.
At the present time there are two
companies at the college, A and b,
under the direction Of Lieutenant
Samuel Heron, u. s. a., retired. The
student soldiers drill three times each
week and are now highly efficient in
tactics and maneuyers.
Although DR.. Ladd is a believer in
reasonable preparedness, for protec-
tion, his object in encouraging the
military training at the college Is pri-
marily that Of developing the students
physically.
"A sound body is SO absolutely es-
sential 70 success in life, that there
is no room for argument, said Dr.
Ladd recently. by means Of open air
military tactics and compulsory drills
we get every man in college outa mum,
Der, of hours each week, and require
a certain amount OF vigorous exercise
on the parade ground. we reach IN
this manner the boys who do not so.
in for athletics and those who do not
care to take regular exercise in the
gymnasium"
Whether or not companies A and B.
OF the State college would hurry
across the border into Mexico in the
event the United States calls for vol
unteers, IS OF opurBe q question to be
decided If such a contingency arose.
If the companies would be called into
service, however, they would go in
with colofs flying and in the best pos.
sihle physical condition and with an
adequate knowledge Of military life.
IN encouraging out door exercises
for boys, DR.. Ladd has not overlook
ed the girls, who arc under the per
sonai direction or Mrs, VA. ~ Wink
ingham, dean OF women. The girls
r advised by Mrs. Wlnkingham as
to the best methods of exercise aud
how and when to practice them. For
bot hboys and girls DIR. Ladd inaug-
urated the Harvard system of phys
ical testing and grading, and in addi-
tion frequently lectures to the student
body on health and hygiene. It Isl
sale to say that in no other institution
in New Mexico. with the exception OF
the New Mexico Military Institute, is
20 much time and intelligent attention
devoted to physical education and
training as at the Agricultural college.

approval, and ii approved will be
submitted to the Stockholders fot

The contract has been already ap-
proved by the directors OF the ass0cia.
tion. IL gives the association author
ity to construct at its own expense,
and on its own responsibility, a plant
for the development Of hydro-electric
power on the Leasburg canal about
fourteen miles north OF Las Cruces,
This will be done by combining two
drops in the canal, netting a fall of
twelve feet, and developing 600 horse
power-about four times the capacity
of the present plant OF the Las Cruces
Light company.
It will be the idea OF the association
to wholesale this electricity to the Las
Cruces plant, which will care for the
distribution of it in Q retail way. This
electricity will be generated by the
Leashurg plant at a fraction of the
expense Of the steam-dFiven plant in
Las Cruces. In addition to the market
that win be found in this way. IL Is
planned to irrigate about 500 acres Of
land on what is known as the Fort
Selden fiat a bit Of fertile mesa
plain from fifteen to fifty feet above
the rest of the valley on the east side.
II is estimated that the plant will
cost 100000, and it Is planned to raise
