KEEP KNOCKED-OUT TEETH
Dentist Can Replace Then in Mouth
So That They viii Soon Give
Good Service.

When ones front teeth are knocked
out there is no need to leave them on
the floor. for they can be reinserted
very we'll by good dentist. DR.. II. Nj.
Slavery tells in the Lancet QOndOn)
Of two cases in which the teeth were
completely dislocated from their sock
cts.
In one case the teeth were placed In
salt water while NE dentist carefully
washed out the sockets. Then they
we're reinserted, stitch or two placed
in the gums and the jaws were ban
daged shut so that the teeth bit on a
pad of lint. In the other case the
teeth still hung to the gums, so the
sockets we're cleaned out without de-
tachlng the teeth.
In both cases the teeth became sol
idly fixed and the patients could use
them for normal biting few months
after the accident.
DR.. G. De Witt Henry of New YORK

truck driver that had been knocked
out in a collision. The man had pick
ed his teeth from the gutter and run

An almost uncanny gift in ferfeting
out the big silver deposits was pos

cost of gunp0wder was so high, though,
that only the richest finds were
worked. Only ore that produced over
100 ounces OF silver to the ton was
mined. 1t is said that the owner OF

TELL RUMANIA
RESERVATIONS
ARE VERBOTEN
Peace Council Will Have
No Quibbling in Deal
ing With Austria.

Paris, Sept. S.-The supreme
council of the peace confer
ence today informed Rumania
that she must sign the peace
treaty with Austria without
reservations or abstain alto
gether from signing.
The Rumanian peace delcga-
ton has not yet reached deci-
sion in the matter.
The Rumanian delegation sent a
note to the peace conference de-
cIaring that its intention was to
sign the Austrian treaty with res
ervations. The supreme council
this morning took the Rumanian
note under consideration.
Rumania's S objection to the Aus
trian treaty, it has been indicated,
lies in the clause guaranteeing pro-
the territories detached from the
former Austrian empire. Serbia
likewise objects to this clause.
Premier Clemenceau presided at
the council meeting which also DIS
cussed the German reply to the al
lied demand for suppression of
article 81 of the German constitu-
ton providing for Austrian repre-
sentation in the German parlia-
ment. The discussion of this sub
ject was not completed today. The
council will take it up again to-
morrow.
1t is considered certain that the
answer will be extremely firm in
tone, taking the position that Ger
many is violating the treaty before
it becomes effective, thereby rem
derilg it impossible for the allies
to ratify ii.
Previous advices from Paris on
the subject of the probable attitude
of the council with regard to the
German constitution question re-
fiected a general opinion among
the peace conference delegates that
the German reply declaring that
the disputed article would remain
in the constitution without legal
force" was highly evasive ard that
the conference probably would in
sist upon actual elimination of the
section from the constitution.
