DID HE LOSE. A FRIEND?
Editor Who Thought He Had Mis-
taken. Saws Another Editor.

In little address the other evening
at an informal affair, the editor of a
big newspaper told how he lost a
friend through an editorial comment
he had made the day before. He told
them about it simply to show how easy
it is to lose friends, as he put it. But
the editor was never more mistaken IN
his life than when he made the state
ment, for the reason that you cannot
lose a friend. The fellow whose
friendship the editor believed he had
lost was never friend; otherwise he
would not have lost him. Friends
stick by you when you make mistakes
that's why they are friends.
What kind of friend is it who is
with you only so long as you fatter
him? What sort of friendship is il
that demands the best always, and will
not forgive your errors? What man
ner of friend is he who stands by your
side only when the sun is shining.
and who runs from you wien the
clouds are black and threatening?
An editor, naturally, has few
friends, albeit no class of men in the
world appreciates friends to great
err extent. But dealing as he does in
the bare, plain facts of the day, ap-
plying as he does the cold logic OF
every situation to all persons under
discussion, and measuring men and
aaaaaasres with an inanimate yardstick,
Dor naturally &spleases many
gple in the course Of his comme
But he doesn't lose any friends

informed that he has "lost a lot of

Importance of Good Teeth.

A recent investigation made by the
Public Health Service in con-
! - v ! u laZzDaa1abes of rural school
Children showed that 49.3 per cent had
defective teeth, 21.1 per cent had two
or more missing teeth, and 1853 per
cent had had dental attention. Over
ID per cent never used tooth brush,
58.2 per cent used one occasionally,
and only 27.4 per cent used one daily.
Defective teeth reduce physical eff
cheney. Dirty, suppurating, snaggle-
tooth mouths are responsible for
many cases of heart disease, rheuma-
tlspl, and other chronic affections. The
children are not responsible for the
neglected state of their teeth. The
ignorant and careless parent is to
blame for this conditions condition
which hampers mental and physical
growth and puts q permanent handi-
cap on our future citizens. School
teachers can and are doing much in
intoxicating habits Of Personal clean
illness in the rural school child. but
this will fail of the highest accom-
pllshment unless parents cooperate
heaftlty ana continuously. This is q
duty which we. owe our children.
The New Orleans Daily States,
aided and abetted by National Com
mitteeman Robert Ewing, has already
raised $4,000 for the Democratic
campaign fund. The largest single
contribution SO far received is a check
for $1,000 from Lynn Dinkins, presi-
dent of the Interstate Trust and
Banking Company Of New Orleans,
who says he has not heretofore voted
the Democrats snational ticket, though
always Democrat in state affairs,
but that the constructive legislation
enacted under the Wilson administra-
ton has changed his point of view on
national issues.

Missionaries Discover Waterfall.

Father Colbacchini of the Salesian
order, founded by Don BoscO, which
has impol can't mission stations among
the Indians Of Brazil, reports the dis
covery of a great waterfall on the Rio
das Mortes, in the Matte Crosse,
which he named after Plus X. The
Rio das Mortes, which Is be-
tween $50 and 200 meters wide and
more than two meters deep In its
higher course, narrows down gradual
ly to about eight meters, and the i'm
mense volume of its waters dashes
down through a mass of high rocks in
a wonderful waterfall more than 500
meters long. Father Colbacchini had
the name of Plus X cut In the rock
lear the waterfall and erected a large
cross made from the branches Of two
trees on the brink of the water. He
then explored the lower course OF the
river. The surface of the region
crossed by Father Colbacchini and his
party Of Bororos Is covered by strata
of sandstone deeply eroded and in
denied by water, and the river basin
was surrounded by ridges and ranges

Persons falling out Of aeroplanes
will find it quite useless to depend
upon any Of the ordinary safety de-
vices, antidotes, block systems, fire

of them are perfectly good in their

meet this particular emergency. The
only thing to do when convinced you
