NOVEL CURE FOR T0OTHACHE

Guilty In explaining, according to DR..
Wilfred T. Grenfell, who In his auto
biography tells the following story:
A big fisherman came aboard my
steamer one day and said that he had
toothache. His jaw was swollen, his
mouth was hard to open, and the Of
Tending molar was visible within; but
when I produced the forceps he pro-
tested loudly that he would not have
1t touched for worlds.
"Why, then, did yon come to me?"
! asked. "You are wasting my time"
II wanted you to charm her. doc
tor" he answered.
"But, my dear friend, I do not know
how to charm. and don't think 1t
would do the slightest good. Doctors
are not allowed to do such things"
He was evidently much put out, and
had turned to 60 when I said, IF you
really think 1t would do any good,
come along. You'll have to pay %
cents exactly as if you had 1t pulled
out"
GLADLY, doctor. Please go ahead"
He sat on the rail while I put one
finger into his mouth, touched the
molar and repeated the most mystic
nonsense could think Of. "Abra-
cadabra Tiddlywinkum UmslOpoga,'
and then jerked the finger out lest the
patient close his ponderous jaws. The
fisherman took turn round the deck,
pulled out the quarter and solemnly
handed it to me, saying, "All the pain
Is gone. Many thanks. doctor"
I found myself standing alone In
amazement, twiddling miserable
shilling, and wondering how / came

WILL MAKE MAPS FROM AIR

of the Mosquito.

At first glance one wouldn't say
that airplanes bore much relation to
mosquitoes. But they can be made to,
and have been made to. up in the
Fraser valley of British Columbia,
where there are great areas of low
lying land, undeveloped and i'll
drained.
Mosquitoes have become a great
pest in this region, seriously reducing
milk production. The Dominion gov
eminent, accordingly, stationed an ex-
pert entomologist there last spring to
make survey on which effective con-
troll measures could be based.
Here is where the airplane en-
tered. Erie Hearle, the government
entomologist, had spent days in slow
compilation of his mosquito map, a
device to show the location of breed
ing places.
He had toiled through marshes, and
from mountain tops, with glasses, had
taken observations. Then he thought
Of the airplane.
Aerial observations proved to be
the ideal method. I'm ten minutes

mologist, 81 made more progress with

Mr.. Hearle took a big map up with
him in the airplane, and as mosquito
breeding places were located indi-
Gated their position on the map.
British Columbia intends to use
hydroplanes to perform another impor
tant function. Her forests are the
most extensive and valuable In Can
ada. and they cover an undeveloped
empire OF thousands of square miles
It is proposed to use a hydroplanc pa
troll system during periods Of fire dan
ger.
Hydroplanes are preferred to land
machines In order that inland ponds
and lakes can be used for landing

w DESOLAIION I'VE
FERTILE HAWAIIAN LAND.
Millions Of tons of lava, which
have been pouring from the
great volcano Of Kilauea during
the past three months, have
buried approximately twenty
five square miles of country I'M
der a coating averaging 100
feet In thickness. The great
flows, streaming in every direc-
ton from their source In the old
rift Of 1868, still are moving
slowly forward and at one point
are within two miles Of the sea,
and twelve miles from the foun-
tain head.
The glittering floods Of GRIM
son lava are coming from the
southern flank of Kilauea. What
was formerly quiet expanse
OF sandy waste, dotted with
green GASES, now Is smoking
tract of ruin and desolation. A
few charred fragments mark the
sites of former forests buried
deep beneath the torrents of
molten stone elected by the
volcano.
Trained observers who have
watched Kilauea for many years
say that it is extremely difficult
to find their way about or pick
out the old landmarks. Where,
in former days, stretched the
level sandy plain, plentifully
sprinkled with olivines and vol
canic rock, now there rises q
lava dome three miles in length
and upwards of 200 feet in
height.
yelling from an earthquake
rift, flows have piled on top Of
flows the crest creased by hot,
cherry-red cracks some of which
emit gas flames. At the sum-
nit of the dome is a large lake
of lava, nearly half mile I'm
length, having an average
breadth of 300 yards. From the
surface of the lake lava fOun-
tains are continually playing.
Evidences of tremendous de-
struction are to be found in the
section where the lower forests
used to stand. Tall CHA trees,
now charred wrecks, but In some
cases sta burning, rise forlOrn-
ly amid tie general desolation.
In one place there is to be
seen the remnant of a heavy
stone wall, which, before the
last flows started, marked the
boundary of the Kapapala ranch.
The moving lava surged against
the wall, pushed it over and
buried the greater length of it
under the molten food.
The stretch of country across
which the present lava streams
are moving is mass of under
the-surface tubes and tunnels
formed by old flows, mostly in
the great eruption of 1868. The
present molten rivers, running
through these and entering
sealed caverns are continually
blowing up the cavern roofs with
loud explosions and showers of
red-hot rock, which make de-
tailed examination hazardous.

KANSAS STATE FARM BUREAU
Manhattan, Kans., August 4.-The

most of our present economic ills.
This is the statement of Dean F. D.
Farrell of Kansas State Agricultural
College, in an address before the an
nual extension conference here re-
Gently. According to Dean Farrell,
the high cost Of living is largely due
to the fact that laborers are working
shorter hours and giving poorer ser
vice.
The conference was for the purpose
of outlining the work of the county
agents, home demonstration agents
and other extension workers, for the
coming year. Every extension work
er in the state was in attendance.

Does the city marshal and his man,
Friday, lay in wait in dark corners
to catch Anwary persons on side
streets for speeding and neglect the
main streets of Hays where ten times
as much speeding is done by day than
any other place in the city?
Don't the city marshal enforce the
speed law on Juniata and Normal

Don't the city marshal enforce the
law in regard to automobiles going
without tail lights?
Don't the city marshal enforce the
law which says "Autoists shall sound
the siren of their car just before ar
irving at the intersection of any
street in the city,"
Is it necessary that an officer of
the city should sneak around after
