DEWEY'S 18TH BIRTHDAY
Navy Officials Offer Congratulations
in Person.

Washington, Dec. 26. - Admiral
Dewey was seventy-nine years old to-
day and Secretary Daniels and his
council and most of the high ranking
officers of the navy made their con-
gratulations in person at his office.
Secretary Daniels read to the admiral
part of diary kept by an officer Of
the U. s. S. ship Colorado, dated De-
cember l6, 1886, which told how First
Lieut.. George Dewey had tried to
make the Christmas season on that
old steam frigate happy by giving
each blue-jacket bottle of wine.

SAYS MERCHANTS SHOULD NOT
SOLICIT BUSINESS ON WHICH
THEY CANNOT MAKE PROMPT
DELIVERY.

This year at the beginning of the
hay season we were able to buy
for the sum of $1.50 per bale few
bales of wire, then the supply was en-
tirely exhausted and we have lived on
promises of more coming in few
days for the past two months.
Yes, they "would have it next week
sur from Memphis" or "by Tuesdays
boat from Mobile" but to this date
it is not here. We hace purchased
all the coil wire that we could make
do at all and cut it ourselves, having
paid two prices for it because we
needed it so badly. Our hay is still
in the stack and how much longer we
must wait goodness only knows. OF
course we should have sent off for it
ourselves in the first place, but we
thought as they chad let ordered" we
could get it sooner from them.
Now this is only one instance of our
experience of "trading at home" Mr..
Merchant, give us the same induce
ments to trade at home that are given
us to send away and we will be only
too glad to patronize you.
We want you to live and let live,
but don't take it all and blame the

BRITISH BLUNDET IN INTER-
PRETING PRESIDENTS NOTE

London, Dec. 26.-Prof. A. F. Pol
lard, who holds the chair of English
history in London university, writes
to The Times urging that while it is
clear that somebody blundered re-
garding the phraseology and presen-
tation of President Wilson's note, it
ais also clear the people here are blum
'dering in interpreting it.
"We have to remember" writes
Prof. Pollard, "that it is addressed to
our enemies as we'll as to ourselves,
and has, therefore, to observe the dip
lomatic conveniences and to assume
tthe sincerity of enemy professions.
Secondly we should remember our
own procedure before the war; We
addressed an identical inquiry re-
3 garding Belgian neutrality to France
sand Germany. France gave prompt
$nd satisfactory assurances. Germany
evaded the question and invaded Bel
gium.
Immediate war between the Unit
ed States and ourselves is out of the
question because we are bound by
srecent treaty to cooling off period
of not less than year. Germany re-
afused that restraint and the immedi-
ate issue, therefore, turns on Ger
many's reply to the Presidents note"

HEALTH HINTS
TEETH.

From early childhood the habit
should be formed of giving the teeth
regular attention. With suitable
tooth brush, water, pure soap and pre-
cfpitated chalk the teeth should be
cleaned carefully and thoroughly.
A small brush with bristles OF I'M
even length is best. Brush the teeth
and gums inside and outside
81 Pass waxed floss silk between the
teeth after each meal in order to re-
move the food and other foreign mat,
ter collecting on the surface. The
teeth should be brushed before break
fast and after each meal and before
going to bed. !,
Do not wait to visit a dentist until
filling or extraction is necessary. Ar
range with a dentist to examine your
teeth at least twice year and to ad-
wise you. It Is better and cheaper for
you to enlist his services in the pre-.
vention OF trouble than to wait and
give him the larger operations which
will be harder for you and cost more.
Remember that exercise is just as
necessary 10 the proper development
and healthful maintenance OF the teeth
and tissues into which they are set as
of any other part Of the body. In
these days Of prepared foods the teeth
do not get the proper exercise that
vigorous chewing of food provides.
