THE COLD INLAY.

The gold inlay Is, painful effort on
the part of the dental profession to
discourage the sale of false teeth.
When man was created he was given
a set of teeth which 1t was intended
should last as long as his appetite. II
Is getting harder and harder however,
to find people who have the same teeth
they carried around with them in
childhood's happy hour. A man may
own prominent, defiant eyetooth
which appears to be sound In every
limb, and almost before he knows 1t
some dentist with prying forefinger
will discover that it contains cavity
which looks like the opening of a drive
well. 1t then becomes necessary to
insert something which will preserves
the tooth and enable the owner to mas
tfcate in a contented. bovine manner,
hence the personal popularity of the
gold inlay.
The gold inlay is caused by drilling
400 feet below the surface and exca
waiting a last resting place for SIS
worth of labor and material. This is
simple process and does not hurt the
patient any more than to gaze on the
bill. After the hole has been made
large enough to comply with the by
laws of the state dental association, a
dummy inlay is made out of wax, and
the patient Is allowed to depart and
carry the hole with him. When he re-
turns the real inlay is installed with a
mallet welded by an inhuman female
office assistant who could earn more

finest artillery armory to he found

The people of Davenport did this as
favor to the members CT Battery B.
They showed their pride in the boys.
they commended their patriotism in
tangible and substantial way.
When the boys were called into the
active service Of the government these
same Davenport people formed the
Davenport Patriotic Society. the pur-
pose of which was to raise fund to
take care of the families OF the guards
men while the boys were gone. Dav-
exporters promised the boys they
would do this. Until government mon
ey became available for this relief
work Davenport was paying out as
much as $4,000 month 10 the guards

When it was noised about that the
boys were likely TO stay for some time
on the border men were sent down TO
see if they were treated all right. Mon
cy was raised for anything the boys
asked for. Football suits We're sent.
Funds for special dinners We're raised.
And when they started home the au-
thorities were persuaded 10 send the

the boys.

Duane looked around him for book
or paper. anything to read; but all
the printed matter he could find con-
sisted of few words on cartridge
boxes and an advertisement on the
back of tobacco pouch. There
seemed to be nothing for him to do.
He had rested; he did not want to lie
down any more. He began to walk to
and fro, from one end Of the room to
the other. And as he walked he fell
into the lately acquired habit Of
bTooding over his misfortune.
Suddenly he Strengthened up with a
jerk. Unconsciously he had drawn his
gun. Standing there with the bright.
cold weapon in his hand. he looked at
1T in CONSERVATION. How had he come
to draw it7 It might have come from
a subtle sense. scarcely thought OF at
all, Of the late, close and Inevitable re-
lation between that weapon and hirp-
self. He was amazed to find that. bit
ter>as he had grown Of late, the desire
to live burned strong in him. Life
certainly held no bright prospects for
him. Already he had begun to despair
Of ever getting back to his home. But
to give up like a white-hearted coward,
to let himself be handcuffed and
Jailed, to run from drunken. brag-
ging cowboy, or be shot in cold blood
by some border brute who merely
wanted to add another notch to his
gun--these things were impossible for
Duane because there was in him the
temper to fight.
In that hour he yielded only to fate
and the spirit Unborn In him. Here
after this gun must be a living part
Of him. Right then and there he re-
turned to a practice he had long dis-
continued the draw. 1t was now 2
stern, bitter, deadly business with
him. He did not need to fre the gun,
for accuracy was gift and had BE-
come assured. Swiftness on the draw,
however, could he improved. and ne
set himself to acquire the limit OF
speed possible TO any man. he stood
still In his tracks he paced the room |;
he sat down, lay down, put himself In
awkward positions: and from every
position he practiced throwing his
gun--practiced 1t till he was hot and
tired and his arm ached and his hand
burned. That practice he determined
to keep up every day. It was one
thing, at least, that would help pass
the weary hours.
Later he went outdoors to the cooler
shade OF the cottonwoods. From this
point he could see good deal OF the
valley. Under different circumstances
Duane felt that he would have en-.
joyed such beautiful spot. He saw
d good many Mexicaris, who, OF course
wore hand and glnva with Rlnnd
Also he saw enormous hatsbcats, crude

and opportunity to save stake in
three years he would NIL the ranks OF
such an army.
The men are coming home from the
border from one cold shoulder to an
other They have been treated padly
by the federal authorities and arrive
home to see the newspapers pleading
with employers to give the men who
left them In patriotic service back their
jobs. There is little to encourage vol
untary service in the situation. They
are the men from whom such service
comes in emergency In dire emer-
eency they would do the same thing
over; but next time the emergency
would have to be plain and unmistak-
able.
Arthur Brisbane's suggestion is worth
study and consideration. Why not
make military service also Industrial
service and an employment worth
while?

SPEAKING 0Ff0LE0.

Congressman Haugen is quoted as
favorable to a lower cleo tax fixing a
| standard of color for oleo and remov-
| ing certain restrictions on the butter
substitute. He is said to have declar-
led that no legislation of the sort could
be brought before this session but 20
believe that it can be worked out next
year.
| AS matters stand the tax on oleo is
being paid and the advance in that ar
ticle consequent upon the high butter
prices is being paid by those who can
least afford to do it. Butter or oleo is
a necessity in the poorest home. But
ter is at price that precludes its use
in many wage workers homes and oleo
has followed it as far as it can and
keep its market. And the man who
pays it is the one with family TO keep
on the smallest income in a time of ex-
traordinary high cost of living.
The buttermakers and dairymen are
beginning to see that the high tax on
oleo is a serious injustice and are said
to be ready 10 compromise on lower
taxes and fewer restrictions.
But why not this session? Why not
afford this relief when ii IS most need
ed? Why wait q year when the ne
cessity is apparent?
Oleo is healthful. While we are used
u calling il a substitute for butter 1t
is entitled TO stand on it's own feet as
produc and not as substitute. II is
cheap and is also satisfactory. And
there is as much good sense in com
planning of the 10 cents that each user
of oleo must pay for colored oleo as
in complaint over high coal prices.
There is plenty OF cleo as there is plenty
Of coal. And il may be added that col
oring oleo is as much a part of its pro-
duction as an attractive food as color
ing butter. OF course crooked dealers
may sell oleo as butter but the tax has
not prevented that. The way to get at
those persons Is to fix sufficient pen
atty under the pure food laws and en-
force the law thoroughly. Perhaps at
that we should have persons willing to
take the chance at Bookkeeping butter
Inc as We have those who take the
chance at bootlegging whisky but it
is not Of evidence that the tax on whis-
ky has eliminated or even decreased
bootlegging.
The big tax on cleo should come off
The restriction against color should be
removed. A heaithful and cheap food
should not carry a penal tax

HOW SHALL We GET An ARMY

What are we going 20 do about a
United States army? The regular mil
itary establishment desires to get rid
of the national guard and the guard
is about ready TO quit.
Men refuse to enlist in the regular
| army and enlistments are the result OF
eager canvasses of prospects or the
impulses of adventurous youths who
still hold the impression that soldiers
life is one of glory. With the guard
gone and voluntary enlistments insult
ticient to keep a small army at full
strength what are we TO do for SOL
diers?
The regular army establishment looks
forward 10 a compulsory military sys-
tenn. But it is looking farther than the
voters, Such system is not approved
nor would it be approved If it were
10 become law. The idea OF conscrip-
ton except in time Of actual war does
not appeal to the average American.

ton argued for an army which should

And why not si5 month when the
