New Jersey Dentist First !.
to Fill Tooth With Gold

The first dentist to fill the nerve
cavity with gold was Edward Maynard,
who was born in Madison, N. j., 1O5
years ago. Maynard was also the in
ventor Of many Of the instruments
now used in dental surgery. He had a
varied career. His ambition was to be-
come soldier, and he was appointed
to the West Point Military academy,
but resigned because Of Ill health. In
1895 he graduated in dental surgery
and settled in Washington, where he
practiced for IS years. While Doctor
Maynard was experimenting with Inn
proved filings for teeth, and inventing
new appliances, Doctor William T. G..
Morton, Boston dentist, robbed sur.
gerry Of much Of its horrors by intro
ducing the use Of ether in operations.
This was In 1874. a few years after
the first dental college in America was
founded In Baltimore. Doctor May
nard was also the inventor of the
breech-loading Maynard rife patented
in 1851, which was the forerunner Of
the modern rifle. He died h Washing
ton In 1891. .,3

Burbank's Liberty Wheat
Gives Promise That Bread
Is to Be More Abundant

AS Luther Burbank has not been In
the habit of indulging in baseless SEN
sations, the announcement from Santa
Rosa that, after eleven years of ex-
perimentation, he has evolved q wheat
plant which will yield an average OF
forty bushels to the acre of grain
possessing high percentage Of glu-
ten becomes news of first Importance,
asserts q writer in the New York
World. b.. s.. W.. s@<a..s. ,3$s &
Although the wheat crop esOf the
United States is greater than that of
any other nation, the average yield to
the acre has always been compare
lively small. Some years ago It did
not exceed twelve bushels. Taking
into account what Mr.. Burbank has
done in the matter Of potatoes. apples
and plums, to say nothing of flowers,
as to which he has almost wrought
miracles, we may easily accept at face
value whatever he has to say in re-
gard to cereals. .-.s&ta5 +, ~ s. .
Wheat -four has become so vital as
a food Of civilization that strenuous
efforts have been made to extend the
acreage and by more careful methods
of tillage to increase the average prod
uct. Thus far, however, in spite Of
agitation and instruction, such results
as have been gained must be attrib-
uted more to favorable seasons than
to intensified cultivation. What q
wizard of horticulture has achieved In.
the wonderful climate of California
may not be repeated by everybody else
under less favorable conditions, but
his discovery is full of promise that
some day the bread Of the world Is to
be more abundant. The man who wins
that triumph will be entitled to stand
in the front rank OF those Who are to
conquer the earth for liberty and de-
mOcracy. 4, 1t gs!ss ss5s5 (. 5s5 G

Historic Forests Are Cut e

fast sweeping away the carefully
tended forests of Europe. Even An
England, which has been protected by
it's feet from invasion, the AK Of the
woodman is making great changes in
the appearance of the landscape. Re-
ports say that the beautiful wood
lands, forests and groves that have
for centuries formed part of the
charm of rural England are disappear
ing. I.++a.... H. '.<.
It is expected that by the middle Of
this summer the British government
will be converting trees into lumber
at the rate Of 100000 tons per an
mum. The old, careful methods Of Eu-
rope, by which trees which had passed
their prime were selected and. indi-
vidually chopped, down, leaving the
forest undisturbed, are being replaced
by style of numbering more familiar
here, says the Rochester Times Union.
Canadian .lumberjacks are swinging
their axes in the New Forest and
many other historic tracts, cutting
VIDE swain IN mucl the same IaSMOn
as in the woods Of British Columbia
or northern Ontario.
Over In France, American forestry
regiments are making a similar sweep
through the woodlands. In Great Brit
ain replanting has followed the lum-
herman, but it will take century
fully. to cover the scars. In France
there has been no chance to pay at
tention to anything but getting what
was needed for the war. s@s% x:4@
With European forests thus laid low
we should be the more careful to see
that our own great resources are not
recklessly wasted, and should follow
the example of the older countries In
making even private owners guard for
ests against fire loss. -..... =.

Speaking Of food-how much OF

The difficulty is not an insuficiency
of actual man power. There are plenty
Of men to supply the farms with help.
But that man power Is applied to
