Miss Darlington had been held the
day before and the imposing obse-
quies had been entirely in keepinG

life. The casket was of the richest

music. the most expensive available;

everything as Miss Lucy would have
1t was a pathetic commentary on
the character of the dead woman that
while all who mourned her felt the
shock and horror Of her death, they
were not deeply bowed with sorrow.
Pauline, as nearest relative, would
naturally grieve most, but for the
moment her affections were lost sight
OF in the paralyzing effects Of the sud-
den tragedy.
Anita Frayne had practically gone
to pieces" She was nervous, and
jumped ~twitchingly il any one spoke
to her.
Gray Haviland was r~eticent, an un-
usual thing for him, and devoted most
OF his time to matters Of business con
nected with the estate.
Estelle, the maid, had succumbed
to a nervous breakdown, and had
been taken to a nearby eanatorium,
where she INDUCED in frequent and
violent Mysteries.
The household was In a continual
excitement. Lawyers and detectives
were coming and going. neighbors
were calling, and reporters simply in
tested the place.
Pauline and Anita, though outward
ly polite, were not on good terms, and
rarely talked together.
But this morning the two girls and

ARTICLE :.
PYORRHEA AND ITS CAUSES.

THE term pyorrhea alveolaris as ap-

is a misnomer. The term "pyor-
rhea" means pus flow or pus
''pyorrhea" means pus flow or puss
running. pus flowing from any place
could be termed pyorrhea. alveolaris
refers to the alveoI or sockets which
hold the teeth. but we have alveoH
OF the lungs and other parts Of thu
body. However. as the laity under
stands it to refer TO a supDurative in
lection Of the tissues surrounding the
teeth. and as the profession has never
corrected the misnomer the term now
has become SO fixed in the mind of the
public as associated with mouth infec-
ton exclusively that it would be folly
to attempt to change it
Pyorrhea is known to have existed
in man as far back as historical rec
ords go and no doubt existed thou
sands OF years before More thought
and scientific study has been given
the subject Of pyorrhea than 20 any
other disease that has ever affected
man. and today it is occupying the
first place in the minds Of the medi-
cal and dental professions in their
studies of human ills.

Edmonton. Alta. April 1S.-A SIX

organized labor in Alberta The Al
berta Federation OF Labor has laid a
petition before the government IN
which it asks that the present legis-
lature pass a law establishing the six
hour working day in the province If
the working hours were shortened the
labor people declared they would
forego a half holiday on Saturday. but
would retain Sunday as a day OF rest.
The agitation for a six hour day has
been going on for some time in the
ranks Of labor. Some members Of
the present legislature are known 10
favor the shorter day. but such a bill.
it is said. undoubtedly would meet
with strong opposition The action
of the legislature is awaited with in
terest by all employers and working
people throughout the province Ia
Dor leaders declare they do not desire
wages fixed by law. but are willing
TO let them remain as matter Of
arrangement between employers and
employees.
The labor federation also urged the
provincial government TO establish
labor ministry to be presided over by
a member Of the cabinet council and
TO deal with labor questions and ad-
Indicate labor difficulties. Premier
Stewart announced that he was op-
posed to such a ministry at present.
He thought. however. It might prove
