wingo. S. and other considerations.

The proper way to cleanse the
teeth is to rub the upper teeth down
and the lower teeth US. as we'll as
crosswise. There is a new disease OF
the teeth called Riggs disease, which
causes the gums to recede from the
teeth. The bacteria. which is the dis
ease, soon causes the teeth to fall out;
better consult dentist at once.

The Importance of Farm Stock Get
ting a Right Start in Life.
By KARL LANGENBECK,
The Lime Service Bureau, Washington

The Lime Service Bureau, Washington
How necessary the building of Il
strong honey structure is fundamental
in animal-husbandry, is circum-
stance of which the farmer is too sell
dom reminded. A great many animals
do not get a right start in life be-
cause BODYBUILDING material is def
clent in their pasturage. 1t is no less
true, that range cattle bought for
fattening are often ricketts, and cannot
be brought to a profitable weight, be-
cause strengthening of the frame can
not go hand in hand with the putting
on of flesh. Bones are built of phos-
phate OF lime as every one knows. But
fodder and grass are deficient in this,
II the soil of pasture and meadow do
not readily supply it. Permanent pas
lures are very prone to be i'll supplied
with lime. Evidence of this is every
where to be seen in the prevalence Of
sour grasses and in messy patches in
dlcatlng a sour and unaerated soil
Protected from action of the atmos-
phere by the sod. the organic matter
does not properly decay, the clay in
the soil becomes sticky, bacterial life
WaneS and as the air cannot penetrate
the clovers and sweet grasses die out
Value of Pasture Lies in the Nutri-
ent Quality of Grass.
The value of pasture lies not only
IN the quantity but in the nutrimenC
quality of its grass. An abundance of
clover is essential because it augments
the soil nitrogen and helps the other
vegetation. Nitrogen makes flesh
But clover does not flourish without
lime. In spite of the high price of
meat, many farmers are but i'll paid
by their cattle. Much is due to the
fact that the animals do not get
chance for vigorous growth. Denmark,
Holland. the Tristan and Ho!stein pro-
vinces of Germany, all celebrated for
their stock, pay much attention to
making "fat meadows" An import
ant factor in their treatment is lining
For lime tells here as almost nowhere
else.

The Proper Soil Treatment for Good
Pasture and Fat Meadows"

The pasture soil is very liable to
sour. Lime corrects this. 1t crumbs
the clay so the aid can penetrate. 1t
develops bacterial life and decays the
animal and vegetable matter, digestS
it as it were, so that the plant foods
it holds can be absorbed by the grass.
The phosphate of the manure, fixed in
insoluble form by the iron and alumni
ma oxide of the soil, are liberated by
lime and become available to the plant,
and through them, for the bone of the
cattle. More flesh means more nitro
gen and that, as we have said, means
lime for the clover. Attend to the
pastures and meadows now with lime
that acts most quickly Quick action
is due to solubility and the hydrate
and fresh ground lime are its most
soluble forms. On the lawns of the
Department of Agriculture, it is dis
tributed with a sprcader even on
fresh green grass, so there is no fear
of its hurting the immediate growth.
1T is not necessary to wait until
Spring to lime grass lands The Win
ter time is most favorable for the
purpose of giving an early and vigor-
Gus start.

SCHILLER TRIED
 T0DYNAM|TE SHIP German Stowaway on Ma tOppO Held in New York
 on Serious Charge

New York, April 1.-Charged with at tempting to place dynamite on the Gu hard line steamship Pannonia, Clarence Hudson, also known as Ernest Schiller, the German stowaway who took posses sion of the British steamer Matoppo at sea last Wednesday night. was locked up tonight at police headquarters. According to the police, Hudson and three other men planned to blow up the Pannonia on the night of March while she was moored in the North river.
 Hudson admitted he had used mo- torboat in which dynamite was stored, but refused to state where the launch or the explosive could be found. trunk be- longing to him was confiscated at board ing house in Hoboken, but information as to it's contents was refused.
 The plot to destroy the steamship was abandoned, Hudson said because three of the men he had engaged as confederates backed out at the final conference and he decided the task was too big for two men to tackle.

SAYS BOARD Of
HEALTH TOO SMALL
Dr.. Carroll Fox Says Officer
Should Not BE Required to
Depend on His Practice.

That south Bends health depart
ment is woefully inadequate 20
handle the work required of it was
the opinion expressed by Surgeon
Carroll Fox OF the government health
bureau before the WOmen's civic
league al the Chamber of Commerce
Friday afternoon. Mr. Fox said that
the local board Of health was doing
all ina its power with the limited
means and assistance at its disposal,
and that where the public health
officer is compelled TO see To his out
side practice 90 meet his expenses
little else could be asked of him.
Too much politics, ne said. handi-
capped many health departments.
IN one eastern city, he said. every
one but the officer himself was mix
ed i'm politics. causing the affairs TO
become such that the mayor and the
head Of the department did not
speak 10 one another for two years.
Or. Fox spoke TO the league
especially on the public health,
made an attack ON some Of the old
cases He traced every disease TO
direct OF indirect transmission, and
hut one or two TO heredity. those
being only i'm cases where the par
ents could affect the health OF the
child Tie gave "flth, flies, fingers
end food as the first means Of
transmission.
In speaking of the housing survey
that ne is 90 make i'm connection
with the sanitary survey. DIT. Fox
said he would work i'm sections of
the city studying them intensely,
later making reports of the num-
her Of families and other conditions
ne finds.
DR. Fox devoted a large part Of
his time 10 discussing with the mem
hers the diseases that are prevalent
i'm the schools. but he said nothing
could be done until the Visiting
Nurse association had been broad
ened thereby educating those in
the homes as a means of prevention.
The civic league held a short
business meeting previous 10 the
talk. The next session will be held
Jan L.
