an examination of portions of meta
found in the hull of the vessel that 9
torpedo did the damage.
Captain Butcher, commander of the
Seaconnet, which was bound from
Archangel for London with timber, is
remaining at Yarmouth for an erfort
to save the steamer. Although she is
resting on a sandy bottom he has lit
tie hope of succeeding in the attempt

The portions of metal recovered
from the Seaconnet will be brough,
here and turned over to Consul Gener.
al Skinner tomorrow. According tc
the sailors these pieces are heavy and
brass-like.
The Seaconnett was about sixty
miles east Of Yarmouth when a terri
flc explosion shook her. Captain
Butcher headed the steamer shore
ward, finally reaching the sands. but
heavy sea made the position of the
crew precarious. Lifeboats from Var
mouth, however, rescued every one.
The Seaconnet had on board a car
go Of commercial lumber consigned to
a private firm in London. She flew the
American flag and had flags painted
on each side OF the bow.

YELLED IN MYSTERY

cambridge, Aug. 1.-THE question
of who robbed Ralph Belcher here on
Sunday night bids fair 10 become as
big mystery as 'Who struck Billie
Patterson" No clew seems forth,
coming and the matter remains as big
mystery as it was Sunday night.
Later information on the case re
veals the fact that the first reports
were erroneous in that it was stated
Mr.. Belcher's family was with him al
the time he was entering his home.
Mrs Belcher and the two young aady
daughters were away from home and
MIR. Belcher was entering the house
alone. His assaliant struck him un
conscious and placed him on the bed
leaving his hands folded as in death
Upon coming to he thought he was
paralyzed and called for help.
In addition to diamonds and jewel
~ taken, Mr.. Belcher was robbed OF
money representing his sales Saturday
which could not be deposited on ac
count of the banks being closed.

Care of the Teeth
BY EMORY r. PARK, M. D.

ut is better to take pains than tc
have pains take YOU One of the
best ways to avoid pain is to keep
the teeth clean. Tooth brushes are
cheap and water in most places is
free, and by using them many aches
and pains can be avoided and much
money can be saved that would 9th
erwise be spent for dental repairs,
loctors bills and drug store supplies.
Pure food laws and inspectors have
lone much in the way of eliminating
IMPURE foods from the market, but
,ure foods at once become, impure if
chewed with dirty teeth.
The enamel covering of tooth is
lard but rather brittle; therefore, peo-
lie should not pick their teeth with
knife, with pins or other metal sub
tances, or crack nuts or bite other
lard objects, as such practices are apt
crack the enamel and permit; germs
o get in their dirty work.
Much good can be done by brush
ne the teeth before going TO bed and
fter breakfast. They should be
1ashed after every meal just as the
fishes are. 1t is good plan TO have
dentist look over the teeth every
TX months. In this way small holes
will be discovered and can be filled
,efore much of the tooth is destroy
ID and before toothache and abscess-
S begin. 1t is also less expensive
nd less painful to have a small hole
lied.
Children's first teeth should be cared

lot be ground up properly but is swal-
owed in indigestible Jumps; and, al
%, the food being mixed with count
ess germs in the mouth will frequent
ferment and sour in the stomach
md intestines. This leads to poor nu-
rition, which leads to weakness that
n turn predisposes to many diseases.
A tooth should not be pulled out if
LONG so can be avoided, for not only
will its grinding surface be lost, but
