DENTISTS AGREE TO PRE-
 PARE EACH ONE MOUTH

Buffalo, N. r., June 1.-The Pre- paredness League of American Den lists, with headquarters in this city, has opened a registration bureau in the hope of enrolling twenty thosuand dentists who will each one agree to prepare, free of charge, the mouth of lat least one applicant to meet the re- quirements for enlistment in the army, navy, or marine corps, and sub iect to such rules as shall protect them against imposition.
 The standard of enlistment for the United States marine corps requires the applicant to have at least twenty sound teeth, with four opposed molars and four opposed incisors. Properly filled teeth are counted as sound, and many men now rejected for defective teeth will be saved to the First Line of Defense," by the patriotic mem bers of the Dentists Preparedness League, is the belief of League off cials.
 Dr. J. w. Beach, of Buffalo, is chairman of the registration com mittee.

document designed to further the scheme wrere printed at the expense of a mercantile corporation and mall led free of postal charges under the "franging' privilege of certain of a certain United States senator, the persons whose names are on the mail ing list of the concern. Why such a self-sacrificing CD interest in the scheme?
 The parcel post should be extended and enlarged, but not to further the ends of any large or small class of individuals. The "franking' system should be greatly restricted, if not al- together abolished, and certainly such criminal abuses as that mentioned above should be made impossible. If the "franking" privilege were only restricted to legitimate official bus- ness, and if the free seed" graft were the postal department might be made to pay splendid profit, or the rate of postage be reduced, or the parcel post service be enlarged, or all three des- irable ends might be achieved.

Mt. Airy, N. C.-Mrs. Sarah M. Chap pell of this town, says: "l suffered for five years with womanly troubles, also stomach troubles, and my punishment was more than any one could tell.

ABUSING THE FARMER

The American farmer nas been sused and crimes have been com mitted in his name until it is little wonder that he backs away with sus- picion from nearly every scheme that proposes to solve his problems or ligh- ten his burdens. Only too often las he found that his interests wrere made d blind from behind which those vol uby protesting friendship for him and his have bagged the game to fill their own stomachs and feather their own nests And now the schemers are busy trying to put over' another great hoax.
 Bills have been introduced at Wash ington creating a National Chamber ot Agriculture to consist of nine mem btrs, six of whom must be farmers appointed by the president and to draw salary of $20 day and eX- pgnSes during actual service. They would have a general secretary, and first and second assistant secret aries, at a salary of S7,500, 5000, and $4.000, respectively. The chamber would also "have the franking privi- lege in connection with the organi- Zatjon work" This national chamber would organize community, county, and state chambers, pertecting the or gauization throuhgout the whole coun- try, to promote the equitable distri- button and advantageous marketing of farm products, and to cooperate with federal, state and other agen- ces."
 The bills specifically provide that Whenever local unit or chamber, or any other member thereof, de Sres to offer for sale or to purchase any agricultural or commodity, or commodity relating to the farm, or desires information relating to said commodity, said chamber or said member may communicate such de sire to the secretary of the local chamber, whose duty it shall be- in case he cannot meet the needs of the applicant, to certify and forward the application to the secretary If the county unit or chamber If the sec fetary of the county unit or chamber can not meet the needs of the appli- cant he shall certify and forward the application to the secretary of the state unit or chamber. If the secre- tarY ofthe state unit or chamber can not meet the needs of the applicant he shall certify and forward the ap phcatlon to the secretary of the nat lonal chamber, whose duty it shall De to act at once upon the applicat ion"
 To whom would the national secre- lafy turn to get the goods Since 1he whole shceme is intended to dev elop direct dealing between producer and consumer by the employment of modern methods and wider use of parcel post, would he deliver the or uerS and requests to the big mercan- Vie interests urging the adoption of tne scheme? Are they the other agencies mentioned in the bill?
 Anyway, the president of one of the uiggest of the active interests rec ehtly resigned his position-though he uouotless holds his stock and other interests in the concern--to become Vhalman of the commission organiz- ed to frame and push the bills above

 Somehow a man seems to consider it mark of feminine superiority" in a woman to be unable to buy her own railway ticket, carry her own grips and check her own trunks.

Congressman Humphrey told

He has voted to take everything

other than Seattle.
Seattle business men have re-
pudiated W. e. Humphrey simply
because in Senator Poindexter
they have found a man that is big
and broad enough to represent the

Tacoma would fare well with
Poindexter in the senate for the

ALEXANDER, MYSTIC,
HAS THEM GUESSING

Tacoma theater is the home of
Oriental mysticism, pungent in
cense, and crystal gazing this
week.
Alexander. the Great, who
doesn't lay claims to mind read
ing, clairvoyance, or any other
supernatural power, but who just
naturally keeps his audience in a
fret OF uncertainty during two
hour and one-half performance,
is furnishing the mystery.
Alexander has a novel show,
and is as clever as any magician
seen in Tacoma in years. In the
first section of his entertainment
he Introduces some of the most
battling tricks ever produced.
The second part of the show is
demonstration of thought trans
ference. Alexander answered
mental questions Of members Of
his audience last night, to the en-
barrassment of some questioners
and the hilarious amusement of
the spectators. His feat of call
ing members of his audience by
name, reading their thoughts and
answering their questions, was
wonderfully witty and clever.
Alexander remains at the Ia
coma all week.

DOW CONDEMNS
HEAVY EXPENSE

At a meeting held in Roy Fri

cussing his candidacy for county
attorney, said:
We hear great lot these days
about efficiency and economy.
Every candidate places these two
words on his campaign cards. The
records show that in 1914 we
spent approximately $13,253.37 to
run the office of county attorney;
in 1915 1t had jumped to $1S,2SO.
and in 1916 for eight months the
cost has been $1,000.
Estimated on the same basis
for the next four months, It will
cost approximately $24,24O to run
the county attorneys office. IL
this same ratio increases for the
next two years you can readily
see what It will cost.
This does not include such ex-
pensive luxuries as the Haffer
case and the grand jury, neither
of which accomplished a thing.
Notwithstanding the increased
expenses of this office, II is now
proposed to establish a state Sc
cret service or constabulary. With
