Dublin, May 1S.-Premier Asquith
has reached the conclusion from inn
pressions gathered during his Irish
visit that the old form of government
in Ireland has had its day. The As
sociated Press learns from sources in
the closest touch with the premier that
Mr.. Asquith's conversations and con-
ferences have convinced him that the
future government must be conducted
on an entirely different system.
The prime minister has taken care
to learn the ideas and views of many
persons other than those in purely
official circles and these persons have
offered greatly varied suggestions.
None OF these, it is believed, could be
adopted in it's entirety, but it is
thought they may be welded together

SNORING.

What is snore? 1t is the sound
that results when currents of air
cause the soft palate to flutter.
This usually occurs when aperson
sleeps OH his back with the mouth
open.
While not harmful in itself, it
generally indicates that there is an
obstruction of the nasal passage
way, which in turn may be having
harmful influence Oh the health
in general.
AS rule, when a person is adj
dicted to the snoring habit. it is
because the nasal airway is not
large enough. There may be bony
growths which partially close it OIL
enlarged adenoids may be the
cause of the trouble.
Sometimes to give the sufferer
relief it may be necessary to re-
move these bony growths, or the
adenoids or diseased tonsils.
l. Also inflammation caused b!
these Instructions must be tho
roughly cleared up before a persol
can get rid of the snoring habit.
The best prevention of snoring
in cases where there is no condition
requiring medical attention,
sleeping OH the side. When tn
sleeper lies in this position tn
mouth is less likely to drop open.
For those who think it Jesse
of two evils, a harness arrangement
, extending about the head and M
, der the jaw, is advised by mean
of keeping the mouth shut an
snores shut off.-EX.

Changes in Human Teeth.

That our teeth are becoming pro-
gressively smaller and fewer is made
manifest by study of human jaws
running back through the centuries to
the earliest historic times, 5000 years
ago, and even to those of prehistoric
people whose bones have been dug up.
That they are growing less durable Is
shown by their extreme liability to de-
cay.
The tendency to reduction in the
number of teeth is shown by the de-
parture of the third molars. These
wisdom teeth" as they are called
four in number, are in many indivldu-
ais missing or understood and irregu-
lar; or they may, in other instances
fail to "erupt." Evidently they are
destined to disappear entirely. Ana
because they are no longer required LOT
use nature is making them OF such
poor ma terial that commonly they start
to decay as soon as they appear. Al
ready there are signs that other teet2'
such as the lateral inciSors, will TOTO"
the same route. Our teeth are mercy
tools. They are not equivalent 10
limbs, but are only natural imple-
ments and We're developed originally 10
meet certain needs. If the needs dlin'u'
ish the teeth must do likewise.

bank. / will go no further"
IF you DON'T" brutally stated the
insurance man. 'you are ruined by
what you have already done, / am
ruined, the bank is ruined. This is
the one chance"
In the end he went to Philadelphia
to grasp this one chance. Billy Gard
acknowledged that it was logical that
the cashier should allow him to do
SO. The draft that Caviness drew was
for twice the amount ne had named
but the harassed cashier could not
bring himself to refuse to honor it.
Caviness had proven himself a
psychologist again. Two days later a
smaller draft came but with no line
Of explanation. The chance to recoup
might depend upon this money, the
cashier felt. He appreciated the great
er chances on the other side but, hav-
ing honored the larger check, he could
not turn down the smaller one. 1t
was not logic that he should do so.
AS the days passed there came other
drafts for always smaller amounts.
There was still no report from
Caviness. Yet what excuse could the
cashier offer himself for refusing
these small drafts when he had hon.
ored the big ones. Finally the prodigal
drew, in single day, forty small
checks ranging from one to five dol
lars.
Despailingly the cashier cashed
everyone.
1t was during the week that fol-
lowed that the directors had precipi-
tated the flight of the cashier. Billy
Gard found the whole case easy to
clear up with the exception Of the APP
prehension of the two men who had
been the instruments in wrecking the
bank.
The special agent had little doubt
of his ability to catch Homer Kester,
the cashier. There was the almost in
fallible theory that such a fugitive
would write home. There was but the
necessity to wait until he should do
SO and the point Of hiding would be
indicated by the post mark. There

was no need OF haste in the case of
Kester, it seemed, but Caviness was
harder to figure out.
Yet just the reverse proved to be
true. Cards theory for catching
man Of the Caviness type held good,
while on the fugitive cashier he abso-
lutely failed.
In Royerton It was easy to find
many intimates of the insurance man.
From these it was learned that the
spendthrift often visited Philadelphia
and that while there he kept fast COM
pany. Some of the young men OF the
village knew of the places he fire.

friends.
"Such a man." soliloquized Billy
Gard, always hides with woman"
Whereupon the special agent re-
turned to Philadelphia and began in
vestigating, one after another. the re-
sorts and the sporting friends of the
missing insurance agent. One thread
after another was followed to its end
until. in tracing a certain woman to
Germantown, the special agent met
with a result and a surprise that was
beyond his expectation.
A drayman who had hauled the
goods and chattels OF the woman he
was tracing had given Gard the Ger
mantown address. It was eleven
o'clock on a sunshiny morning when
the special agent reached the address.

with the grocer at the corner, with
some children In the street. He was
looking for an opportunity to approach
the janitor of the house to question
him informally, wanted to talk to the
postman. Then he met the policeman
on this beat. He had asked this guard
ian OF the law about the occupants OF
the fiat in question and the two men
were drifting idly past when pande-
monium broke loose.
Shrek after shrek tore its way
through the drawn curtains of the
ground-foor fiat. There was the crash
of broken furniture, the whack of
heavy blows, the .thud of falling bodies.
The policeman and the special agent
ran to the door of the house to which
the former put his shoulder with good
effect. They were thus let into a nar-
row hall. OF of this were the doors to
the fat through which the noise Of a
vast disturbance continued to come.
It required the strength of the two
men to break through the barrier, and
some delay was occasioned. But when
the door was finally forced it was a
wild jcene that was revealed.
They had broken into the sitting
room. Sprawled across its floor was
the form of a disheveled woman,
frowsily blonde, shapely, clad in
dressing sacque and evidently uncon-
scious. Chairs were upset, tables over
turned.
The intruders gave but a hurried
glance to this apartment, however, for
the action of the play was still going
forward and might be seen through
the torn portieres that led into the ad-
joining dining room. AS they looked
the form of strong young man fell
heavily across the dining room table,
felled by a blow from the stout stick
of a slim antagonist. The wielder of
the attack shifted his position and
Billy Gard got view of his face, livid-
ly white, delicately chiseled and re-
fined in appearance. 1t seemed lily to
fit into this chaotic scene. Yet the
special agent knew he had seen it be-
fore and instantly the Photographic
flash of such face bending over the
dashboard of a madly plunging car
riage returned to his consciousness. 1t
was the face Of Homer Kester.
Billy Gard had often had occasion to
be vastly surprised by the unexpected
