CHAPTER x.

That night George began q jubilant
warfare upon his Aunt Fanny, open
Ing the campaign upon his return
home at about eleven O'clock. Fanny
had retired, and was presumably
asleep, but George, on the way to his
own room, paused before her door,
and serenaded her In a full baritone:
AS walk along the Boy de Balong
With my Independent air,
The people all declare
He must be a millonaire!'
Oh, you hear them sigh, and wish to die,
And see them wink the other eye
At the man that broke the bank at Monte
Carlo!'
After breakfastIng in bed, George
spent the next morning at his grand
fathers and did not encounter his
Aunt Fanny until lunch, when she
seemed to be ready for him.
THANK you so much for the sere-
made, George" she said. "Your poor
father tells me he'd just got to sleep
f6rthe first time in two nights, but
after your kind attentions he lay
awake the rest of last night.
"Perfectly true" Mr.. Mlnafer said
grimly.
"Of course, didn't know, sir"
George FASTENED to assure him. I'm
awfully sorry. But Aunt Fanny was
so gloomy and excited before went
out, last evening, thought she needed
cheering up"
He turned to his mother. whats
the matter with grandfather"
didn't you see him this mOrnlng?"
isabel asked.
sYes. He was glad to see me, and
all that, but he seemed pretty fidgety.

heart againT

swell, he's not himself. What's he
upset overT
Isabel looked serious; however, 1t
was her husband who suggested gloom
iIy II suppose the Majors bothered
about this Sydney and Amelia bust
ness, most likely.
"What Sydney and Amelia bust
ness" George asked.
"Your mother can tell you, If she
wants to-" MInafer said. "It's not my
side of the family, so keep off,"
"It's rather dlsagreeable for all Of
ual Georgia" Isabel began. "You see,
y&dr Uncle Sydney wanted diplo-
matte position. and he thought Brother
George, being In congress, could ar
range it. George did get him the offer
Of a South American ministry, but
Sydney wanted European ambassa-
dorship, and he got quite indignant
with poor George for thinking he'd
take anything smsller-and he be-
lieves George didn't work hard enough
for him. George had done his best of
course, and now he's out Of congress,
and won't run again-so there's Sgd
Rey's idea Of a big diplomatic position
gone for good. Well, Sydney and year
Aunt Amelia are terribly disappoint-
ed, and they say they've been thinking
for years that this town isn't really Mt
to live in-'for a gentleman, Sydney
says-and it Is getting rather big and
dirty. So they've sold their house and
decided to go abroad to live perma-
nently; there's a villa near Florence
they've often talked of buying. And

thing. OF course the only thing to dc
about Aunt Amelia is to pay no atten
ton to her. It's all right, Aunt Fanny
Don't cry. / feel lot better now, my
self. Come on; I'll drive back there
with you. It's all over, and nothlng's
the matter. Can't you cheer up2"
Fanny cheered up; and presently the

He leaned upon his mother; she gently
comforted him; and presently he re-
covered his composure and became
self-conscious enough to wonder If he
had not been making an unmanly dis
play of himself. "Tm all right again.

TEETH AND HEALTH
By r. ALLEN GRIFFITH, D. D. S.
TEETH AND VANITY

A few years ago it was considered
quite the thing to have diamonds Sc
in the teeth. 1t was not so long ago
too, that even some of our sensible
American people had gold crowns pu
on their front teeth to add to their at
tractiveness.
Many savages file the front teetl
down to points for the purpose Of i'm
proving their appearance.
A few years ago l met dentist il
old Mexico who was doing a land Of
flee business grinding down the from
teeth of the poems and putting gold
crowns on them.
Many of them would spent theil
last dollar for a gold crown. AND
these were nearly always put on per
fectly sound teeth.
Who does not admire a perfect sci
of beautiful teeth? Most people could
have beautiful teeth if they would only
give them the necessary time and at
tention. My lady sometimes spends
thousands of dollars for a string of
pearls and neglects the real pearls
which are in her mouth. The teeth,
artifcially polished and free from de-
Cs9s nave uluC4 VI TIC 5nGGA VI l44C
pearl, and should be far preferable.
Only too many people neglect their
teeth until they have scarcely sound
tooth in their heads and then only
have those fixed that SHOW.
All too frequently even those front
teeth are allowed to decay until the
nerves are exposed and often the teeth
are dead and abscessed. If the den
tist, knowing the dangers of infection
from these dead teeth, advises extrac-
ton, what an argument the patients
put up! They are willing to go to any
extreme to save the tooth, even to the
extent of endangering their lives, if
the tooth shows.
When advised to have anything done
to the teeth many patients ask for
mirror. If the tooth doesn't show they
say: what is the use of having that
tooth fixed? Why not pull it out?"
Or ANY old kind of filling will do, if
.he tooth does not show"
The average individual does not re-
llize the value Of either teeth or health
until they are lost. Then he makes
frantic efforts to regain what is too
gone forever, when little
prevention in the beginning would
nave preserved both.
Vanity sometimes runs to the absurd
extremes noted, yet it would be a very
thing if it would only teach
people the care Of their teeth. Even
he loss of a single back tooth will
show in a photograph. The
Doth removed from an arch will cause
some change in the arch. In the same
way, should a brick or a stone be al
owed to disintegrate in an architec-
.ural arch, it will cause the arch
to collapse.
Porcelain teeth are made nowadays
o take the place of the teeth "lost"
rom any cause. This are Of dental
ceramics" has reached a stage where
he artificial is hard to tell from the
Vanity is unquestionably the
,ause of this high degree of perfection. !
In fact, we can by no means con-
Iemn the service or future of the nat
lral human being "tO look we'll"
Vanity ought to cause people to take
ARE of their teeth in time and also to
Ieep their teeth clean. 1t ought to
work for the community in this way

MILFORD NEWS.
This Case Has Hint for Many chroni-
Gle Readers.

A Milford woman has used Doan's
Kidney Pills
She has found them as represented.
She wishes her neighbors to know.
She publicly recommends them.
No need to look further for tested
kidney remedy.
The proof of merit is here and can be
investigated.
Profit by the statement of Mrs. L. c.
Hudson, 404 Washington st. She says ::
Il know Doan's Kidney Pills are fine
kidney medicine and gladly recommend
them. | have been troubled off and on
in the past by backache, which was due
to disordered kidneys. Doan's Kidney
Pills, that l bought at Pettyjohn's
Pharmacy, gave me relief. They have
never failed to help me when / have
used them since"
Mrs. Hudson is only one of many Mil
ford people who have gratefully en-
dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother you,
don't simply ask for kidney remedy
ask distinctly for DOAN'S KIDNEY
PILLS, the same that Mrs. Hudson had
the remedy backed by home testimony.

LOSS OF APPETITE.

As a general rule there is nothing
serious about loss of appetite, and if
you skip a meal or only eat two meals
a day for few days you will soon have
a relish for your meals when meal time
comes. Bear in mind that at least five
hours should always elapse between
meals so as to give the food ample time
to digest and the stomach a period of
rest before a second meal is taken.
Then if you eat no more than you crave
and take a reasonable amount of out
door exercise every day you will not
need to worry about your appetite.
When the loss of appetite is caused by
constipation as is often the cafe, that
should be corrected at once. A dose OF
Chamberlain Tablets will do it.

nine out of every hundred cases recover.
