PORTRAIT WITH BOND
Women Arrange Special lnducement
Plan With Art School

IL you want your portrait done in
charcoal, oil or water color, all you
have to do is purchase Victory bond.
The sort of portrait depends on the
denomination of the note you buy.
When arrangements were made for
this, Mrs. Walter S. Thomson, chair
man of the Womens Liberty Loan com
mittee, was first to subscribe 500, and
pose for a charcoal sketch. The pic
lures are done by students of the Phil
adelphia School of Art, of which Benc-
dict II. Osnis is founder and director,
under the auspices of the Women s
Victory Loan committee. Mrs. Howard
f. Hansell, Jr., and Mrs. Paul r.
Haskell form the committee to take
charge of the work.
In addition to Mr.. Osnis and his wife,
the following artists are among the
students who will do the portraits:
Miss Sarah Clark, Miss Elsie Hiney,
Mrs. Hannah Cutler Groves, Miss
Grace Wyeth, Miss Blanche Loverell,
Earl Kirk, Y. Onaga, Edward 7. Dore-
mus, George Atkinson and Henry Reiss.

WAR CON NSTRUCT|ON
WASTE DEFENDED
Foe Failed to Give Notice Be-
fore Quitting, Admiral
Sims Explains
CRITICS ARE CRITICIZED

Business brains for business; SOL
diers, sailors and marines for fighting"
Vice Admiral William s. Sims, who
left this city today for Washington,
after speaking at four meetings yester-
day in behalf Of the Victory Loan, sug-
gested this in brief, as future policy
for the government.
He. urged that the critics of the con-
duct of war be utilized declared him
self in favor of "big battleship," not
submarine policy, and said that any
waste in war construction was due to
the failure of the Germans to give this
country six months notice of the time
they proposed to quit.
"I would, if they give me my way"
he said, "have the revised statutes fixed
up right now SO that the President in
time of war would be obliged to ap-
point from the best business brains OF
the country the men who would handle
the administrative and business end of
the war. That would let the sailor and
the soldier do their end in the fighting,
the task for which they were originally
trained and educated.
eve have heard all kinds of sugges
tions from those who knew little or
nothing about actual conditions, about
what we should have. They suggested
that to beat the German submarines we
must have more submarines.
"As a sailor man want to say that
all the submarines in the world could
not prevent feet of large battleships
from attacking New York, while feet
of large boats could drive the subma :
rines from the seas

If you fed like savage-on meat and
raw .fruit-this would not be necessary.
Bad teeth are almost unknown among
savages.
But you insist on eating the kind of food
that is most destructive to teeth-soft,
sweet, sticky food, which adheres to the
teeth and must be removed at once. 900
of civilized people have decayed teeth.
Now let us consider the question of
dentifrices.
A brush and cold water are better than
nothing. An ordinary, pure soap serves to
clean your teeth fairly well, but is, of course,
unpleasant to use.
Anything that scours or grinds the enamel
is bad. A strongly alkaline dentifrice (most
popular dentifrices are alkaline) is very bad,
dangerous and destructive.
Such dentifrice paralyzes the salivsrv
glands and checks the flow of saliva. Saliva
is Natures only agent for neutralizing and
rendering harmless the acids of food decay.
An absence of saliva means that teeth are
exposed to the unchecked ravages of acid.

rather unique, yet expensive method
to keep his daughter from going out

from home too often and too late in
the night to suit him. He says he
tried moral suasion. but it did no
good, so he took her clothing and
cut it into shreds. il is charged. TINS
effectively held the daughter at
home. but it also caused trouble in
the family. D. B. Grace, a brother
of Grace, filed information with the
County Court that the acts of his
brother indicated an unsound mind
and he requested that he be given
hearing as to his sanity. The full
side of the girls father will not be
heard until his hearing is held in
the court this week, but should he
happen to try to prove that his acts
were prompted by the ridiculous
styles that women are wearing these
days. it might happen that he could
convince many men, especially some
of those picked as jurors. that there
was sOundness in his reasoning.

Finished the School

Education in the rural districts of
Missouri has its drawbacks and the
generally accepted impression is
that in many of the hill billy" Sec
tions the farmers pay more atten-
ton to their barns, cattle and farms
than to the brain development of
their children, raising dismal howl
every time somebody suggests in
creasine the rate of taxation so that
the schools can be equipped more
completely and the children be Civ
en- advantages of having frst.c class
teachers.
In Miller, county however, such ma
odium cannot be placed on the tax
payers and the School Directors, for
they met a situation there last week
m most unique and effective way.
The board was confronted with the
problem of five more weeks of
school and an empty treasury. Did
they decide that it would be just as
well to close the school and permit
the children to help out on the farm
and in the home? They did not.
They passed the hat-in fact, pass
ed several hats-amoug the citizens
of the district and when they added
up the collection they found that
they had secured $3.50. enough to
pay the salary of the teacher and
other expenses for the remainder
of the term.

Wheat Growers Uneasy

Several weeks ago two or three
insurance agents made headquarters
in Palmyra. their speciality being
the insurine of growing wheat, and
the conditions seemed so attractive
that several hundred Marion county
farmers entered into contracts to
take out policies. Their under,
standing was that the crops were
insured against practically every.
thing except floods, the terms were
reasonable, and they signed agree-
ments binding themselves to pay
various amounts up as high as
$275. These agreements are said
to be practically promisory notes
but when the policies began to ar.
rive the signers of them noticed
discrepancies between the polices
and the statements of the agents
1t is claimed now that the farmers
will be heavy losers if the obliga.
tions have to be met. A number
of them have pooled issues and re.

seents are now in Palmyra and
claim that the policies are just as
they represented them.-Palmyra
