WISDOM TEETH; WHY so CALLED
No Direct Relation to Ones Mental
Equipment. rs

The so-called wisdom teeth arc the
last two molars to grow, and they
have no real connection with the pos.
session of wisdom. They take their
name from the time of their arrival,
from 20 to 25 years, at which age the
average person is supposed to have
reached years of discretion.
Cutting ones wisdom teeth means
simply arriving at the point Of COM
pleteness in physical equipment, and
has no direct relation to mental equip
ment. The possession of these teeth
is no guarantee of wisdom. They
grow at about the same age in people
whether they are wise or not.

noon and stopped for lunch. Among
rhe passengers who left the train was
the mother of the infant, which she
left in the car. Before her return from
the lunchroom the train had pulled
out.
In her distress the mother hired an
automobile to take her to Copeland, II
miles distant, wiring meantime to tn.
agent there to have the train wait for
her. She made the run in good time,
but the train was missing.
When the conductor went thru the
train after leaving Monte,uma he
found the babe, crying frantic ally. He
feared that the mother had fslier from
the train. He ordered the engineer to
back up so that the track might r
searched, but the retura to NIontezcma
failed to locate the mother, and the
train resumed its run.
At Copeland the mother was abou;
,he first person seen on the platform.

A new wood which has proved suit
