Over $50 teams from all parts Of

afternoon to dispose Of all the claim

No teams were permitted to enter
the race after July 1. Each team was

those who cannot send a messenger can
send a letter, thereby letting the world

Treatment Of Pyorrhea.

1t Is well known that the disease OF
the gums called pyorrhea is respon-
sible for certain diseased conditions of
the body, aside from the diseases of
the gums themselves. When pyorrhea
is well established it is difficult con-
dition to cure; but Professor Fischer
has recently pointed out that solu-
tion of ipecac used as mouth wash
is an effective preventive. A few drops
of the tincture of ipecac, or two drops
OF the fluid extract of the same drug
should be dissolved in a half glassful
OF water. and the mouth rlnsed thor
oughly with this mixture before retir-
ipg.
This treatment will not cure a case
of well-established pyOrrhea, but it is
said to check the condition in the ear
lier stages, and will prevent the spread
OF the disease with great certainty.

PUBLIC VOICE NOT HUSHED
Western Idea That There Is Lack OF

together Erroneous.

The view is assiduously cultivated
in certain circles that the Japanese

and that IL is always a unit on great
public questions, but nowhere is self
criticism more freely INDUCED. and

ing daily crying out that educational
reform should be the great cry of the

living is another bone Of contention.
Some hold out for the old standards
that produced the great race capable
of making the history oil the last fifty
years. but the Chugwa. Shogyo of
Tokyo, after citing European and
American efforts to rails he peoples
living standard, says SC My:
But, in the Orient, the governed are
considered by the ruling classes as so
much dust. The conditions of living
OF the people are neglected Conse.
quently. the majority Of them are suf-
fering from difficulties of living. They
are emaciated and sickly from lack Of
nourishment. Since Bismarck's social
policy was executed, the condition of
the German people has improved con-
siderably. The valuo Of German labor
has increased. That is a chief cause
of the national strength of the Ger
man people. In Japan II is different.
The strength Of the people for lack of
proper nourishmenf is decreasing.
How can we expect to win in the
struggle for mastery in the world in
competition with others? The bad
taxes and the excessive issue of con.
vertible notes are responsible largely
In bringing about this sorry state here.
On the part of the people, they are
rather getting reckless in this expendi-
ture They make unnecessary ex-
penditure, neglecting to save money
for necessary things. We should dis.
courage as much as possible the habit
Of borrowing and not paying back.
Loans for business undertakings are
all right. But loans for extravagant
living should be discouraged. Some
people shun labor and seek easy liv.

self-governing people? How can we
win in the field Of competition under
those circumstances"

TIMBERING MINES IS COSTLY
Owners Compelled to Put Millions Of
Dollars Underground Every Year
of Operation.

Nearly 90,000,O00 cubic feet of tim.
Der are placed in the anthracite mines
uf Pennsylvania every year, if an esti-
mate in the Colliery Engineer, lately
acquired by Coal Age, that the amount
of timber in anthracite mines is ap-
proximately one cubic foot for every
ton of coal mined, is correct. The tim
bered gangways and drifts cover a
vast extent, exceeding 1000 miles, and
the closely timbered shafts with their
miles of heavy guide timbers which
must be constantly replaced. form a
large item. The total output since the
beginning of anthracite mining is over
2,500,000,OOO tons.
A billion tons of water or over IL
times as many tons as the coal pro-
duced during the year, must be pumped
out of the anthracite mines every year.
According to the chief of the Pennsyl-
vania department of mines the timber
ing is an even greater expense than
the pumping. The cost of placing this
vast forest below ground is stagger-
ing.
The cost Of the material is given as
The St. Joseph observer. [volume] (St. Joseph, Mo.) 1906-1932, 1916-01-29

about 6.5 cents per cubic foot for
round timber and 20 cents per cubic
foot for sawed timber. At the lower
figure this would make 90,O00,O00 cubic
feet cost s5,S50,O0O. In addition to this,
there are millions of mine ties, and
heavy white oak is used for the mine
cars. The use of steel timbers, which
are being adopted on account of their
longevity, for main gangways, turn
outs, pump rooms and shaft and slope
bottoms, will add to the total cost of
mining for the next few years but will
effect final saving. Most Of the tim
Der now used in the anthracite mines
is yellow pine from the South.
