IMPORTANCE OF
CARING FOR TEETH

The European war has
shown most clearly the impor-
lance of caring for the soldiers
teeth. American dentists who
have been at work at some of
the hospital bases say that
wounded men whose teeth are
sound recover in half the time
required by those whose teeth
are decayed. Think what that
knowledge means as applied
to the teeth of school children |!

"BIood and Iron"

What is the real origin Of the IA
nous phrase commonly believed to
have been used for the first time by
Bismarck? We all, of course, know
that in the Prussian diet of 1862 Bis
marck declared: "The great questions
are to be settled, not by speeches and
majority resolutions, but by blood
and iron" The belief here avowed
remained with the chancellor to the
end, for in his Memoirs he repeated
the declaration thus: I'VE could get
no nearer the goal by speeches, asso-
Citations, decisions of majorities; We
should be unable avoid a serious con-
test which could only be settled by
blood and IRON" Bismarck, we may
assume, when first using the words.

Striving to believe that something
might intervene to delay or prevent
the wedding. Ware had fingered about
the town after Leila's return from the
city, but now, within twenty-four
hours of the ceremony he abandoned
all hope. A willing bride or a sacri.
fee, Leila had chosen, or had been
forced to choose stupid but wealthy
Boyd Weaver as her Afe companion.
Therefore Randall Ware was about to
fly to familiar solitary haunts, to hide
himself, to mourn in secret, to try
to forget.
It was a strange coincidence, he re.
flected, as he was driven from the
remote pineries station to the old
| camping place he and his friends had
so often visited, that he passed the
summer home of cousin Of Leila's.
In fact, II was here that he had first
met Leila. That was the previous sea-
son, when she and her mother had
been guests of the cousin in question
and of his family.
It was quite dusk as the old buck
board wagon passed the Lodge, as 1t
was called, and Ware noticed lights
moving about fireplace.
"The Davenals here" he inquired
of the driver.
"Yes, and going to stay into deer
time, hear" replied the native.
From the direction of the bungalow
merry voices echoed out as the wagon
passed on. Ware WINGED; 1t all re-
minded him OF the pleasant hours he
had spent at that spot In the company
Of Leila.

Paying Calls In Russia.

Town life in Russia is as different
as can be from lite in the country dis
tricts. One curious custom Is the after
dinner call People do not call on their
friends at tea-time, as we do over here,
but after dinner at night, or even after
the theater, paying calls at midnight
being quite the thing to do. The Rus
sian dinner always begins with side
board course Of cold meats, hors
d'oeuvres, ETC.. that is to say, the
dishes are laid out on the sideboard
and the guests help themselves before
sitting down to partake of the regular
meal. II is from this custom that we

II think So" said Stone grimly. He
knows he must make good this time or

hard twice lately. Why, even yester-
day he was to send two men to Lynd-
ham, with a woman, to get something
on this Tom Larnigan. His two men
have disappeared, and they never
took the woman at all. They didn't
wait for her, but went off with some

They had not meant to stay long In
the roadhouse, but one drink had

Dorothy had been able to loosen her
bonds and get out of the car. She
rode Off In the car just rs the two
thugs emerged, and as soon as they
recovered from their establishment
they gave chase, stealing a motor
cycle that had been standing by the
car.
Dorothy had good start; but, unhap-

almost empty. and she soon saw that
she was sure to be overhauled and
again made u prisoner. Her experience

her TO be willing to take any risk 10

Randall Ware had read in some book
or newspaper that there are animals
which, when desperately wounded,
seek some secluded solitary spot in
which they may die peacefully. This
required to him as he gloomily picked
up his sportsman's outfit, preparatory
to a speedy dash for the wilderness.
For he had been grievously wound
ed-in his affection, 1t was true, but
all that was worth striving for seemed
to have gone out of his life and he
was inclined to give up the struggle.
This had happened: The young lady
with whom he was desperately in
love, and who he was assured sincerely
returned his affection, was about to
marry another. This was her wedding
eve. II had been torment unutterable
to remain in the same town where she
was, but jealousy guarded from his
company--it was slow torture now to
linger within the echoes of wedding
bells that might peal forth the Joy of
others, but to him misery-his doom!
It was all the fault Of purse-proud,
autocratic parents. II Leila Bridges
had gone so far as to engage herself
to Ware the latter would have stood
his ground and maintained his rights.
AS 1t was, while eye to eye had spo-
ken unutterable devotion, no definite
promise had passed between them.

Tom and Ben suspected nothing.
They were delighted when they found
that the engineer and his fireman were
ren q to let them take their places in
return for the $500 Tom had offered.
The engineer led the way to an OBJ
s.ure spot and changed clothes with
Tom while his fireman gave up his
own working toys to Ben. Just FIVE
minutes before the special was sched-
uled to pull out Tom and Ben took
their places in the cab of the engine
waiting for the signal to pull out. And
lust before that signal was given Kitty
Rockford and Dorothy dashed up.
"Thats dads car" she said. where
is that special golng?" she asked the
nearest official. who smiled at her.
Boston. Miss Kitty" he said.
"Goodr' cried Kitty. Come on.
Dorothy. It's just what we want"
There was no reason for stopping
her. None of the station officials knew
anything of Rockford's derilish plan.
And so Kitty and Dorothy climbed
aboard. and moment later the signal
to start was given. Rockford and Stone,
sitting in Rockford's office, chuckled
ms they saw It pull out.
But five minutes later Rockford's
chuckling was stopped abruptly, for

furiously on Stone.

he cried.
He flung the note at Stone.

There was 10 way, he was sure, of
stopping the doomed train. The only
chance was for Dunn to fail, and that
chance. as Rockford knew only too
well, was Of the slightest. Dunn was
not the sort to fail when success de-
