PREVENT FILTHY TEETH

uoy often do people present them- .,lrss to the dentist with teeth so a,+bv that one recoils with disgust .a aversion at beholding them! Add
 th;s generally filthy condition a
 ,hor of ulcerated roots, or decayed
 H. with large cavities in which de- composing food remains for weeks s.d months, and you will no longer ronder why the breath of some indi- .I,ols ;s so offensive and foul that ,to;r nresence is unbearable. Wher- - .1or there is decomposition of or son;c matter innumerable colonies of ,;arobes the germs of disease, are ronorated. Can any individual pass S;s food through a mouth thus in fected and yet wonder why he suf- fore from indigestion? Dental, gas tric as well as general neuresthenia may often be ascribed to infection from the oral cavity.
 It is a most unfortunate thing for this country that nine-tenths of the Doonle have not the knowledge or the energy to protect their teeth, and that onlv small percentage know enough to nrotect the teeth of their children. There is nothing more idiotic on earth than for parents to worry about the looks of their children's clothes while allowing their teeth, that would pro- feet them all their lives, to go to ruin. The child is taught to wash the hands, to bathe the body, but the human mouth, the very vestibule of life, is left wholly without intelligent care. It is no uncommon thing for children of five or six years of age and young CT, whose mouths present a deplorable spectacle of decayed and missing or gans of mastication, to be brought to the dentist with request for eXtrac- ton of one or more of the deciduous teeth. It does not seem to occur to areats that sound teeth are as i'm Tortant to children of tender years as to their seniors. How can the little ones he expected to develop into healthy men and women if they are deprived of efficient means of chewing their food at the time when good nOurishment is more than at any other time vital necessity?
 The care of the teeth is vital ne- cessity to all; but to none is their neglect so injurious and crippling as to the child, whose future, both men tai and physical, depends upon its proper growth and nourishment dur mg the early years of it's life.

GERMAN LOSSES AT
 BULLEC0URT HEAVY
NO TIME GIVEN GERMANS TO BRING UP RESERVES FROM
 HARD-PRESSEO FRONT.
VIOLENT COUNTER ATTACKS
German Attacks Unable To Shake General NiveIle's Hold on Plateau Overlooking the Ailette River
 French Retain All Gains.

New York.-Bullecourt, directly on the Hindenburg line, has been enter ed by British troops, who were fight ing the Germans within the town for it's possession.
 Giving the Germans no time to bring up reserves from the hard-press- ed Aisne front, where the French are driving through the Siegfried line Tor Laon by the back way to that strong hold, General Haigs troops began to widen the breach they have made in the Hindenburg line in the Bullecourt region. Counter-attacks of extreme violence, rapidly repeated had failed to shake the British grip.
 The British and Germans still are fighting violently for the possession of Bullecourt, midway between Arras and Cambrai, and also in this imme- diate region at Roueux and between Fontaine and Reincourt
 The British forces now are on the northern, western and eastern out skirts of Bullecourt, leaving only the south part os it open for retreat of the Germans still inside. Official re- ports say the British entered the town and that hand-to-hand fighting is go- ing on.
 On the French front northeast of Soissons and along the Chemin des Danes. the Germans have been fore ed to elMpIov fresh troops in an ef- fort tojstem the Trench advance. They drove masses of msn against the line9 all along the front, but were un- abs to shake General Nivells hold on tte plateau overlooking the Al;atte -iver, the outlying defense of Laon. Everywhere the French held fast moving down the Germans with their fire.
 French guns have battered down the back door to Laon and the poilus of Geaeral Nivelle are now only six miles rom the German stronghold One forml1able barrier lies between them and theii goal-the Ailette riv- er-but from the captured heights along the Chemin des Danes (the road of the ladies), the Freach guns overlook the stream.
 Like the Chemin des Danes, tho Ailette runs east and west, parallelling the French lines. It is hardly worthy of the name, river. but its bed is a deep gorge which makes 1t grave ob- stacle. Laon will not be captured ex- cept at heavy price, but the French victories of the past have brought it's capture appreciably nearer.

THERE is place where sin is
 unknown. There they have no
 money, so why should they
 have sin? There they live as one Jig family; what one man has be- longs to his neighbor if his neighbor needs 1t. There Is no capitalist there to get dividends. There Is no army to tax the people. There only the Bible rules and the morality is such that some of the customs which obtain in so-cafled civilized countries would shock the natives.
 It is a little bit of Utopia. You would seek long to find 1t, for it is only a mere speck away out there Tn the south Pacific, Pitcairn island that even few navigators know, because 1t is out of the regular line of trade Public at tention was drawn to 1t recently by the presence in this country of Miss Emily Mccoy, known as the princess of Pitcairn"
 She isn't princess in the ordinary acceptance of the term; she's the daughter of J. k. Mccoy, president of Pitcairn island. So little strife accom- panies elections in this bit of Utopia that the presidency, though nominally elective, Is really hereditary. Custom decrees that the presidents daughter inherit the office. They call MT. Nc Coy king" but that only means he is the benevolent despot Being his daughter, 1t Is only natural that Emily Mccoy should be called princess" and that she should be next in line for the regal honors.
 Started in a Mutiny
 A glamour of romance hangs about the island and its people from the fact that 1t was originally settled in 1790 by the mutineers of the English ship Bounty, consisting of Fletcher Chris tian, the leader of the mutiny, eight Englishmen, six Polynesian men and 12 Polynesian women. It was not until 1908 that the outside world heard of the remarkable colony there.
 In 1895 Captain Beechey found here a colony of 66 people under the patri- archal rule of John Adams, the only Englishman left, who had risen to the emergency and trained the growing generation in education, religion and husbandry. They were male and fe- male descendants of Adams, Edwin Young, Matthew Mccoy and Matthew

 "The land has been divided into five family divisions. Good roads are maintained by common work of the men. One common well furnishes wa ter and 1t Is not operated by cor poration, such as I find so popular in America. It is for all the people, as are the roads and even crops grown by individuals. What one person needs he takes from another, the only obli- gation being restitution as soon as pos sible. In fact, it is hardly necessary to take. for the ruling thought of the people is to give and they seek out the wants of others rather than await a demand.
 "A stranger visiting the island would find every house open to him. When he left such thing as payment would be an insult to the people.

We have no horses nor cows. But the coconut. which is used for many pur- poses, furnishes milk to drink. The fruit is also used for shortening, for we use it to make coconut butter. The process of favoring is achieved by drawing the water off from the nut and then chopping the meat into small pieces. This is moiStened with water and put in cloth and the cloth twist ed. The milk or fluid is forced through the mesh of the fabric and kept for use as an extract. The oil of the COCO | nut is used for frying. The green beans on the island are very valuable.

Goats Rout Evil Spirits.

Welsh farmers often keep two or three goats among their fine herds of cattle. There is a tradition that the presence of goats helps to keep off evil spirits, and so saves the cattle from disease. In some parts of Wales the presence of donkey is believed to have the same effect. A more prosaie reason is that a goat amongst cattle keeps vermin from breeding on their skins.
