Dental Room for Animals.

In order that the teeth OF domestic
pets may be given proper attention. a
dental department has Of late been
established in the Angel Memorial
hospital, a Boston institution for the
medical and surgical treatment Of
dumb animals. Dogs, cats and other
animals are cared for by experienced
practitioners who work upon them
with almost as much care as II they
were human. Even to many admirers
of dogs, the thought Of giving at
tention to an animals teeth may pos
sibly seem odd. Yet the importance
of doing 30 is very apparent to any
one who realizes the close connection
between good teeth and good health.
So far the dental work has been con-
fined chiefly to cleaning teeth, treat
ing affected gums and extracting now
and then a decayed tooth. The depart
ment, however. is well equipped with
instruments, and 1t is understood that
other work will be undertaken

New York. Sept. 6. - General
strength characterized the market to-
day. notwithstanding a tendency upon
part Of the Industrial shares, and
some others, to wobble. The strength
shown was due more to the covering
of short contrlcts than to any broad
b1ying movement.
opinion in the street appeared to
be fairly well established. however,
that new short selling would be at
tended with some danger and that,
since many stocks are being quoted
at bargain prices, new buying power
will begin soon to develop strength.
This opinion was strengthened not a
little by the current low call money
quotations-today's figure being 3la
per cent.
The market. in general, has been
heartened by the defeat of the La
Toilette, Hollis and other revenue
bill amendments. and the adoption
of the graduate war profit tax by the
Senate acting as a committee Of the
whole.
Persistent reports that the govern
ment had fixed the price OF red
metal at 25 cents. which report gained
color from a recent large sale to the
Allies at that figure. lent strength
to copper shares, following an early
weakness. Utah led In a lively rally.

Paralysis Germ Driven
From City, According
To Health Department

Mr.. Polio Myletus Germ, packed
up his grip the other day and left
the District for the season.
So says a report from the health
department, which announces that
infantile paralysis cases, it is ex-
pected, will no longer be found on
the official health book of 1917.
Five cases of the infantile plagu
were recorded in the District dur
ing the past summer. Two of the
cases resulted in the death of the
victims. two the cases are marked
recovered, and in the remaining
case the diagnosis was changed.
1t is not thought likely that any
other case of infantile paralysis
will be reported in the District
before next summer. The record
of five cases this year compares
favorably with the number of
thirty-odd cases reported in Wash
ington the year previous.
