Tho Need Of Front Teeth.

A we'll known society woman of Los Angeles tells this good story about herself. "Neuritis is the latest bug bear to the modern up-to-date physi- clan, and when you suffer from 1t he immediately orders all your teeth ex- tracted-or at least as many as he dares. My physician compelled me to have six taken e1t. Ny dentists office Is on the sixth foo. of a downtown building, but after my :seth were gone l couldn't say sixth, but thicSth. This sounded absurd, coming from a grown woman of my weight and dignity. and l suspected the grins of my fellow. passengers in the elevator. The next day I told the elevator boy to let me of at the seventh floor, and this did every day, walking down to the sixth, The boy noted my strange conduct, and undoubtedly thought me crazy!"

Tradition and Good Books.

Good books, like well-built houses, must have tradition behind them. writes Henry Seidel Canby in the Yale Review. The Homefs and Shake speares and Goethes spring from rich soil left by dead centuries; they are like native trees that grow so we'll no- where else. The little writers--hacks, who sentimentalize to the latest order, and display their plot novelties like bargains on an advertising page-are just as traditional. The only differ. ence is that their tradition goes back to books instead of life. Middle-sized authors-the very good and the prob ably enduring-are successful largely because they have gripped tradition and followed 1t through to contem- porary life. That is what Thackeray did in "Vanity Fair," Howells in "The Rise of Silas Lapham" and Mrs. Whar- ton in "The House of Mirth." But back-t0nature books-both sound ones and those shameless exposures of the private emotions of ground-hogs and turtles that call themselves nature books-are. the most traditional of all. For they plunge directly into what might be called the adventures of the
 American subconsciousness.

SPENT OVER $500 BUT DIDN'T GET BETTER
Is Like Different Man Since Taking Tanlac, and Says He Feels Better Than in Four Years.

"I spent over three hundred dollars trying to get the relief that Tanlac has given me-" declared Henry Brooks, well-llnown painter living at 435 1-2 Market street, Chattanooga, Tenn.
 "For four years," re continued, "1 suffered with the worst sort of stom- ach trouble. My liver was out of ord CT all the time and I was bilious as II co Id be- I was badly constipated, and form gas on my stomach that miserable. I took everything I could find, but nothing did me any good and it looked like I couldn't get a thing to reach my troubles. I just felt lazy and good-for-nothing all the time. hated to get up in the morn ing and, even if I had slept eight hours, I was just as tired as I was when l turned in the night before. And I had such bad taste in my mouth it was all I could do to eat a bite of breakfast and I was all stuffed up in my head and throat with catarrh.
 After l mad wasted a whole lot of money trying to get relief, l thought of what I had read about Tanlac and made up my mind to try it, and actually, one bottle has put me in better shape than I've been for four years. I can eat a square meal and enjoy it now for I don't have any trouble afterward and I fell so fine iii the morning l can't stay in bed a minute after wake up. I feel like working every day and wouldn't take anything in the world for what Tanlac has done for me. Pm glad of chance to say good word for this medicine, and I know I've found the right thing at last and Pm going to keep on taking until I'm as sound ,as ever."
 Tanlac is sold by Central Pharm ,acy.-Advt.

Why Women Talk.

Men are downtown at their offices all day and have chance to talk. The women have to stay at home, and with the exception of the milkman, the gro. cery man, the iceman, the old clothes man, few miscellaneous peddlers and hucksters, and the woman next door, there Is nobody to talk to. That is why wife talks her husbands head off when he comes home at night. Husbands, who through long years of experience, have grown accustomed to this merely answer 'hmh-hmh' with out hearing. Sometimes the wife will catch them unawares and between re- marks will insert request for $1O to buy new dress with. If the husband, from force of habit answers "hmh- hmh,' the wife. of course, gets the gown.-Cartoons Magazine.

"Bvoze" First Meant "Drink."

The word "booze" came to us before the fourteenth century, seemingly from the Dutch, in the form "bous' or 'bouse.' At that time, as noun or verb, it meant merely drink" and to speak of a gentleman as housing" his wine was not libelous or even deroga- tory, writes Robert r. Utter in Har- per's Magazine. Somehow 1t acquired the added suggestion of excess and bad company, and by the time of Shakespeare we find 1t in glossaries of the argot of thieves and gypsies. The process may be understood when we think of the sinister meaning we often attach to the simple word "drink," which might conceivably run the same course if we misuse 1t often enough.

Army Eaules of Napoleon.

Before Napoleon's time 1t had been the custom Tor armies to carry huge. unwieldy flags mounted on poles which. while they afforded rallying point for their corps, also drew the en- emy's fire. Napoleon revived the an- cient symbol of the Caesars. The Ma poleonic eagle itself was inches in height and 8 inches across the wings. It stood on brass block 3 inches square and weighed three and half pounds. Modern colors. cumbersome as they are. are as nothing compared to the old ones, which were as dim. cult to hide as the big drum.

When Silence Is Golden

When you don't know, keep silence On such occasions silence is golden. The man who cannot control himself Is not free man. He is the sport of every wind that blows. He is for some. thing when he has just talked with man who is for it. He is quite as strongly against it after listening to one who is against it. and will be just as ready to change again under some other persons influence. His opinion Is valueless because 1t is never his own. It is we'll to think carefully of sub- ject before expressing an opinion on 1t. Do not allow yourself to be influenced by spacious reasoning. still less by talk fin which thee is no reason. The more important he subject, the more need of se;f-control.-Exchange.

President, at Arlington, Asserts Senti-

Should Be Changed to Envy.

Washington, June 1.-America's re-
spouse to the call of liberty in the
struggle of the world will hold the at
tention of all mankind, President Will
son said in Memorial day address
at Arlington national cemetery. In
observing the day, he said, the natural
touch of sorrow is tinged with reas-
surance, because, knowing how the
men Of America have responded to
the call of liberty there is perfect as
surance that the new response will
come again in equal measure, with
equal majesty
The President spoke in the natural
ampitheater in the cemetery at 9 a
meeting arranged by the loyal Grand
Army Of the Republic and attended by
thousands. He said he did not pity
the men in whose honor the ceremo.
MES were held.
Envies the Veterans.
Il envy them rather" he went on,
because theirs is great work for
liberty accomplished and we are in
the midst of a work unfinished, testing
our strength where their strength al
ready has been tested"
The time for action, he said came,
land in the providence of God, Amer
lea will come once more to have an
opportunity to show to the world that
she was born to serve mankind"
World War an American Struggle.
when you reflect upon it these men
who died to preserve the union, died
to preserve the instrument which we
are now using to serve the world-a
free nation espousing the cause Of
human liberty. In one sense the great
struggle into which we have now en-
tered is an American struggle, because
it is ir the sense Of American honor
and American rights, but it is some
thing even greater than that; it is
world struggle. 1t is a struggle of
men who love liberty everywhere and
in this cause America will show her.
self greater than ever because she
will rise to a greater thing"

ILLINOIS AND MISSOURI TWISTER
CAUSES ENORMOUS LOSS.
hundreds Are Injured in Windstorm
Which Sweeps Over Several Coun-
ties in Two States.

St. Louis, June 2. Seventy-eight
persons were killed in the tornado
that swept through several counties
in Southeast Missouri and Southern
Illinois, according to dispatches re-
ceived from various sources. Hun
dreds were injured and the property
loss was enormous. Wires are down
in the storm-swept districts and COM
munication virtually is impossible.
The greatest loss of life was at Zalma,
village in Bollinger county, Missouri,
where it was reported by the Globe
Democrat correspondent at Marble Hill
that rs lives were lost and 200 were
injured. This report was taken to
Marble Hill by DR.. Farrar, who said
he was certain his estimate of the
dead was conservative. There is no
communication with Zalrna except
overland, and the roads are almost
impossible.
Fourteen persons were reported kill
ed near Chaonia in Wayne county,
two at Fredericktown, six at Success,
three at Licking, three at Aquilla,
two at Salem, one at Lenox, four at
Dongola, one at Advance, one at Bis
marck, and several of those hurt at
Mineral Point died, the total dead
there now being placed at nine. -Four
negroes were killed in Southern Illi-
nois The storm in Missouri was most
severe in Bollinger, Scott, Wayre and
counties.
