q troubled look overspread his face.
THE fact is" he began awkwardly,

is entirely-almost sntirely-about my
cases, II may be awkward-that Is, i

help him out of his embarrassment:
NINA SEEKS DETAILS

You helped to attend dear Lucy at
the end. Let me hear how she died;
for all that I know OF her, shall be
very grateful She was very, very
dear to me-"
To my surprise, he answered, with
a horrorstruck look in his face.
Tell you Of her death7 Not for the
wide world"
why not7" I asked. for some grave,
terrible feeling was coming over me.
Again he paused, and / could see that
he was trying to invent an excuse. At
length he stammered out:
You see, do not know how to pick
out any particular part OF the diary"
Even while he was speaking an idea
dawned upon him, and he said with
unconscious simplicity. In q different
voice, and with the naivete OF q child:
That's quite true, upon my honor.

at which he grimaced. 'T gave my
self away that timer he said. But
do you know that, although I have
kept the diary for months past IL
never once struck me how L was

By this time my mind was made up
that the diary OF a doctor who at
tended Lucy might have something to
add to the sum of our knowledge OF
that terrible Being, and said boldly:

DENTAL WEEK HAS
 AN AUSPIClOUS START

DOUGLAS, Jan 3O.- Douglas Den. tai Week started yesterday morning with an interesting address at the school house by Dr. Carter upon the subject: "Why Teeth Mean Good Health"
 The address was heard by the chill dreu of the Fifth and Sixth grades and of the Junior and Senior High Schools. At the same time, the teachers of the other grades pre- scnted the subject to their pupils.
 Sample tubes of Colgatc's tooth paste were distributed to each pupil of the school, and honor rolls were started in each Of the lower rooms to contain the names of those each day who have brushed their teeth both morning and afternoon.
 The druggists are offering tooth brushes and tooth paste to school children this week at reduced rates, and the interest that is being taken in the campaign by thc children i5 very gratifying.

HOW TO AVOID TOOTHACHE
 TAUGHT IN DOUGLAS SCHOOL

DOUGLAS, Jan. 30.-Thc follow ing article on the care and prese~ vat.ou Of the teeth is one of sever of which is being studied in the clas. room Of the Douglas Public school this week and is submitted by one of the prominent dental authorities of the United States:
 gro cure is the voice of the past to prevent is the divine whisper of today" One dentist has said: Pre-. vent rather than patch" Teachers throughout the country are striving to make this message understood, by special hygiene lessons.
 "Take a room with nearly half a hundred children, and over so per cent. of them will probably have defective teeth. A foul mouth is a kind Of hot house for disease germs tuberculosis, dipJheria and pneu- monia.
 "We now have in many cities dcn- tai inspection for children and free clinics for those who are too poor to pay for treatment In this way many cases of adenoids and enlarged tonsils are discovered. One of the important features of this work is the fact that many backward and troublesome children after having their teeth attended to. show a big improvement in studies and deport- ment. Detroit spent several thou sand dollars in one year of this work and the authorities were so we'll pleased with the results that much more money was appropriated for the following year.
 Bringing this whole matter of pre- yenton down 10 a personal issue, wouldn't it be far wiser 10 employ your physician to keep you well than ,o wait until sick and pay him to cure you? The Chinese are ahead ol us in this regard. In the same way people wisely employ their deu- list to prevent their teeth from de- ,aying.
 "If you are one of those who would be free from aching teeth, perhaps the following will help to show the way. To attain the goal t will mean something on your ,art but it is a duty you owe your

 First: Have all foreign deposits removed from around the teeth and gums-start with a thoroughly clean mouth.
 Second: Have all decaycd teeth properly cared for
 "ThirI: See that. the mouth is kept in good condition by brushing your teeth twice each day and seeing a dentist at least twice each year. A clean, sound, polished tooth does not decay. You may say that this is expensive, but ia the long run you arc ahead in time, money and com. 1 fort

The part you will appreciate most is the fact that such a cavity, not being deep, may be filled with Inc pain. Then too. the cavity will l be filled at a comparatively small cost G8 it does not involve treating the nerve. Another advantage is that you can always have your own teeth. thereby saving the expense of bridges and the annoyance oi plates.
 Isn't it worth something then, to always have a fine clean, healthy mouth and no toothachc Wouldn't it be a relief to know that you are going to walk into the dental office with a smiIe-and so out still smil- ing.
