 Tootchache.
 And would they never have the toothache, either?"
 I'm not so sure of that. In fact I have one family that I've been taking care of that way and they do some- times have toothache. But they have a heritage of very soft teeth. Besides I minimize it."
 "Why don't all parents have their children taken care of that way?"
 Partly because they are careless and partly because they are afraid of the expense.
 'Wouldn't it be cheaper in the end ?"
 These Children Will Never Dread the
 Dentist.
 "Of course. And I'll tell you what I'm doing With one family. I've made a price per child for the year and I'm taking all the responsibility. The agreement is that I am to have the children when I send for them. It's an experiment, but I hope it will work. It will mean saving of money to the parents without any loss to me, and think what it will mean to the children!"
 The dentist laid down a compara- lively painless implement and reached for that most dreaded weapon of all the dentists arsenal-the buzzer. And l wished---Oh, how l wish ed-that preventive dentistry had been the style when I was young.

Why Madge's Victory Turned to
 Ashes

Ashes.
 Miss Draper has found a house for us'
 I echoed Dicky's words in blank astonishment. His bit of news was so unexpected, amazement was the cnly feeling that came to me for a moment or two.
 Enervated by the unusual warmth Of the first April days, Dicky had ex- pressed a wish to move almost at once to the country. Upon my pro- test that it would be impossible to find a house in SO short a time he had airily remarked that there would be no bother about a house as Miss Draper had found one near her sisters home.
 Well, what's the reason for the awful astonishment? demanded Dickv trucuIentlv You look as if a bomb had exploded in your vicinity.'
 He expressed my feeling exactly Months before, when we had gone to Marvin for 9, days outing, Dicky had been much impressed by the beauty of Miss Ora per, whom he saw on the train. I secretly had been both angry and uneasy, when upon accidentally meeting her at her sisters tea room he had discovered her art aspirations, and had engaged her as a model, promising to assist her with her art studies
 I knew that Miss Draper had be- come a fixture in his studio, acting as his secretary as we'll as his model and pursuing her art studies under his direction. But his references to her were always so casual and in- Clfferent that for months I had not thought of her at all. And now I found that Dicky had progressed to such a degree of intimacy with her | that he not only wished to move to l the village which she called home, l but had allowed her to select the | house in which we were to live.
 The bomb of which Dicky had spoken could have done no more
 damage to a building of brick and l wood than his words did to my peace 1 Of mind
 might be foolish, overwrought but all at once I recognized in | Dickys beautiful protege a distinct menace to my martial happiness. l knew I ought to be most gguarded in my reply to my husband, but I am afraid the words of my answer were tipped with the venom of my feeling 1 toward the girl.
 Say You're Jealous" 'T admit I am astonished," l re- Ilied coldly. You see did not know it was the custom in your circle foi an artists model to select house for his wife and mother. You must give me time to adjust myself to such hizarre state of things" I was so furious myself that 1 did 1 rot realize how much my answer | would irritate Dicky. He sprang to | his feet with an oath and turned on 1 me the old, black angry look that ] 1 had not seen for months. | "Thats about the meanest slur ] ever heard" he shouted. Just be- ! cause a girl works as a model every l ether woman thinks she has the right

There are only two ways Of raising

state highway commission OF Arkansas
explains the trouble In that state.
which Is also the trouble In most
states, as follows:
Under our present lack Of system
the enormous sum Of 1890 900 per
year Is being spent from the general
mill tax alone. with no great Inn
provement over conditions OF the past.
Our present law provides that each
county be divided into numbers OF
road districts and that the taxes col
lected In any district be spent only In
that district Pulaski county Is divid-
ed into twenty-six road districts. sew
eral OF which do not have more than
500 per year These small districts
are each In charge OF a road overseer.
I venture the assertion that 5 per cent

1t is really no wonder that farmer

construction than that outlined In this

He knows that his taxes, or his labor

niflcant return. He does not know
that the same money and labor spent
at the right time and In the right way
would accomplish far more One Of
the great problems In paying for roads
Is how to stop the waste Of large sums
through ignorance. A great improve
ment can be made by placing the work
under overseers who are intelligent,
energetic and faithful and then placing
these overseers under competent tech
nicaliy trained men who cannot only
guide the overseers, but also have sufl-
Gent personal influence to educate the
people to an appreciation of how much
can be accomplished II the available
means are used properly. Finally. the

very carefully. The dull eyes, coated
