You can't do these things with your teeth
in bad condition.
You must come to realize, sooner or later,
that no one thing has a more direct bearing
on the conditions of your general health than
the teeth. In the first place, they are of vital
Importance to the digestive apparatus. We
just wish that you would ask your doctor
what he thinks of the Importance of a good
digestion. We will bet hat that he will tell
YOU that it is the keynote to the whole BUSH
ness. If your digestion is bad, you feel bad
all over.
Bad teeth not alone prevent you from
chewing your food properly, which in itself
il serious enough, but also they are actual
producers of virulent poisons within them
selves, like any other portion of the anatomy
would do if it were in a decayed condition.
Not only that, but they make the very finest
kind of a home for germs of all sorts. These
poisons are communicated directly into the
system when the food comes in contact with
the teeth, and you can easily imagine the
result.
1t is absolutely unnecessary for anyone
to have bad teeth this day and age. In the
first place, we have brought the cost of the
very highest class dentistry down to a point
where it is now within the reach of all We
have been able to do this on account of the
immense volume of business which we do
at this office, which permits US to take a
much smaller profit on the individual case
than the office which does only one-third
to one-half the volume that we do.

HOW HISTORY is DISTORTED
Curious Liberties Taken by Scholars
With Events in Other Countries, as
Matter of "Poiicy."

Curious liberties have been taken
by the scholars of one country with
the history of another, the distortion
being, of course, due in many instances
TO policy" A striking example is
found in Russian textbook edited
by a great Russian scholar, novaiskf:
Louis XVI was good and peace
full king. After a long and famous
reign, in which he was most happy
in his choice of minister of finance. he
died quietly in Paris, beloved by all his
people. His death was caused by q
hemorrhage
The successor of Louis XVI was his
son, Louis XVII. During his reign
the brave, royal army, commanded by
Gen. Napoleon Bonaparte, captured
the largest part of the European con-
tinent for the French crown. But the
faithless Napoleon showed tendencies
toward misusing his power, and was
suspected of harboring dishonest de-
sigSs against the legitimate ruler.
With the help of his majesty the en-
peror and autocrat of all the Russians,
his plans We're frustrated, and he was
deprived of all his possessions, hon
orS and rights to a pension. He was
then exfled to the island of st. Helena.

Chinese Industry Revived.

Chinese manufacturers Of vegetable
dyes have been induced to revive the
manufacture of that product which
had been almost wholly suspended.
The higher prices being paid for these
dyes at present is said to have made
possible the organization of the busi-
ness on sounder economic principles.
Large quantities of the dyes have al
ready been shipped to the United
Kingdom, where they are said to be
giving satisfaction. There is prac-
tfcally no limit to the supply, pro-
vided the price paid is commensurate
with the cost of production. In Japan,
before the introduction of mineral
dyes, there were probably more diff
ferent vegetable dyes used than in
any other part of the world. Few of
the dyes, however, were strictly fast,
and the only thoroughly dependable
black was the one made in the kyoto
district and used largely in dyeing
/ the haori, the short, jacket-like gar
ment worn by the Japanese men and
women alike The vegetable dyes were
long ago supplanted by mineral ones.
but existing circumstances are said by
| American Industries to be forcing a
return to the older dyes.

Better Marketing Conditions.
{ Rutland News.)

Through the agency of the Greater
Vermont association, better marketing
conditions for the farmers of this state
are contemplated. A committee of
some of the ablest men in the state, in
Guiding Theodore \. Vail of Lyndon
vile and State Commissioner of Agri-
culture, f. S. Brigham of st. Adams,
propose to cooperate with committees
from business organizations of New
York and Boston to the end that the
producers of food products may get a
better deal. Middlemen in Boston and
New York, it is felt, have gotten the
lion s share, have fattencd at the ex-
pence of Vermont agriculturists fol
years, and the efforts of the committee
will be toward eliminating some of the
practices that have been followed by
the iobbers and toward obtaining a
greater share of the benefits OF high
prices for the producing farmers. II
can only be hoped that the effort viii
be successful.

A Commemorate Work.
{ Barre Times.O


The board of trade at Brattleboro
has evolved a plan for the benefit of
the citizens of Brattleboro. whereby
public meetings are to be held during
the winter with addresses by men prom
inent in various departments of state
activity. For instance, it is proposed
to have f. S. Brigham, state commits
sioner of agriculture, NJ. b. Hillegas,
state commissioner of education, and
J. W. Titcomb, state fish and game
commissioner give talks upon the par
ticular line of activity in which each
one is engaged, thus bringing to the
knowledge of the people of the com
munity something of interest, if not of
practical value to them. The idea is
splendid. The people of Vermont can
aever get too much information about
the working of the state s administra-
tive machinery; and in proposing to as
sist i'll the requirement of that informa-
ton the board of trade at Brattleboro
is doing a commendable thing. The
only possible objection would be the
spread of the desire for addresses by
these gentlemen to the extent that their
regular routine of administrative work
would be interfered with; and yet there
is little danger of such popular clamor
for information as to encroaeh upon the
officials time.

Worlds Greatest Liar.

Perhaps the most voluble liar that
ever lived was the Baron Munchausen;
that is, the fictionized baron. The real
baron was kindly soul who lived
III Germany, and who in nOwiSe de-
served the evil reputation that at
tached to him through the use of his
name in a series of highly colored
adventures that appeared in print in
London in 1855.
The authorship of the absurd tales
is mystery. 1t is generally believed
that Rudolph Erich Raspe, Ques-
tionable character, wrote the stories
first, but there is no absolute confirma-
ton. Following the original series a
number of additional adventures were
written by less skilled pens.
