Tn. Troublesome Teeth.

The permanent teeth, 32 in number appear between the ages of six years to twenty-five years, more or less. Ine last to be cut are the wisdom teeth' in about AT per cent of adults, one or all four may never develop. An ui- cerated tooth is an abscess at the root of the tooth. It is caused by neglect of a decayed tooth. When the cavity extends too near the nerve in the cen ter of the tooth, the nerve becomes ln- famed and toothache Is the result. Thus the nerve and the decayed mate rial in the pulp cavity causes an ao- scess at the tip of the root in the jaw bone. This may produce a gumboil or break through on the face, causing scar. It may produce serious results as damage of jaw bone, blood poison ing, anemia, kidney trouble, heart trouble. rheumatism or other troubles depending upon the part of the body affected by the poison absorbed.

Baqdad's Change of Dress.

The war has wrought wonderful change in the people of Bagdad, not the least of which is their change of dress, according to the Times of India, which says: Tn Bag1ad today the young bloods are showing desire to adopt European dress. We cannot inn agine why anyone should want to dis card the picturesque Arab headdress in exchange for a billycock hat, but there is no accounting for taste. Re lief at getting rid of Turkish misrule had presumably to be celebrated in some way or other and the acquisition of new suit of clothes, even if they are ready-made reach-me-downs, is un- doubtedly an event which would ap- peal to the nut of Bagdad who, like nuts all over the world, wants to be unlike his elders

Historic Thames Not Imposing

Captain Seth Bullock's Humorous Anecdote Matched by Comment Made by New England Teach
 CT on Famous Stream.

When Capt. Seth Bullock, pioneer roughrider and longtime sheriff of South Dakota, was invited by his friend, Theodore Roosevelt, to join him in London, one of the reasons for the invitation was that after his stren- uous African and Egyptian expert ences and in the midst of his scarcely less strenuous social and political ones in England, "the colonel said he want ed some fellow over there that could help him laugh" so Captain Bullock related, "and I was elected
 Upon my arrival. seeing that the colonel was being overworked by his many official engagements of state," he continued in a conversation which MT. Travers D. Carman recently reported in the Outlook, 'T decided that he needed relaxation with some plain chap he didn't have to bother about, so I walked him over the Thames riv- CT bridge The river was at extremely low tide, and knowing that the Thames was to an Englishman what the Mis- sissippi or the Hudson is to an Amer lean, I waited until a particularly haughty-looking Englishman with carefully adjusted monocle approach ed, and, without an inkling to the colonel of what I intended, asked if he could tell me the name of the creek. The pitying, pained and bored way in which the Englishman replied, That, my good fellow, is our river Thames served Its purpose, and kept the colonel chuckling at intervals for the remainder of the day"
 A New England teacher travelling a few years ago with a party of tour fists had the pleasure of hearing com ment on the not-always-impressiv Thames, uttered in all sincerity by an American of primitive type from the land of far-stretching prairies and the vast Mississippi. He had inher- ited fortune, and to please his young bride had consented to honeymoon trip abroad. Europe, he admitted, had in some respects exceeded his expec- tations, but in others 1t was distinctly unSdIlSIdClOTy. LniS IlNcr Ih"hcS' now

One of the notable results of the present high price of lumber in Ar kansas is the activity of the saw mills. Many new mills are being put up all over the state, and every thing that will saw is being taken to the mill and turned into lumber or other building material.
 Trees that will cut six inches are falling before the woodmen's ax, soft wood and hardwood. Building oper- ations of the state, in the face even of unprecedented high-prices, were never so extensive. and every piece of timber finds a ready market.
 The state is short several thou sand dwelling houses, and the lean years of the war, when construction was stopped, have increased tre- mendously the demand for business and industrial building.
 There has not been such build ing in progress in Little Rock in many years.
 Real estate and rental agents are constantly prodding the owners to increased activity.
 There are large waiting lists of tenants for every office building and it is almost impossible to get an office of any kind, while desir- able residential properties have not been on the market for long time.
 Business in all lines is at high tension, and there is no indication of any slackening soon.
 Money was never so plentiful and never before would it buy so little-but everybody is happy, or should be, so what's the use to worry?

 D LITTLE ROCK LETTER { 1o-Q-O-iO-O-O-O-O-O

Little Rock, May 10.-The annua school election to be held throughoul the state next Saturday is one o1 the most important in years.
 It will be a testing of the at titude of our people generally to- ward the public schools and there IS no reason to believe that the peo- pie who have always so generously supported this great American in- stitution will be remiss in their duty at this time.
 The people are burdened with taxes,-general, county, municipal, improvement and war taxes,-but there is no tax they have so willing ly paid as that for the support of the schools. School tax is an in- vestment, and the dividends are found in better citizenship.
 High prices are undoubtedly due in large measure to war taxes, particularly the excess profits tax which the manufacturers add to the retail price of their products.
 Publicists as well as the populace are insisting that these taxes be reduced, but there is no well found ed opposition to the necessary in- crease in the rate of school taxa ton.
 During the past year there has been a well-directed and intelligent campaign of education conducted throughout the state and country, for more adequate salaries for the school teachers.
 The campaign has been remark ably successful not only in Arkan- sas but all over the country and salaries have been increased gener- ally.
 This was imperative, if the pro- fession was to be upheld and saved from ruin by the wholesale deser- tion of teachers for more lucrative employment.
 These increased salaries for teachers, with the large demands for buildings and more adequate equipment, have necessarily en- larged the financial requirements of the educational system.
 These requirements can be taken care of only through an increased taxation.
 It is the hope of our educational leaders that every district in the state will vote the limit of twelve mills for school purposes.
 There are many districts demand ing that the Constitution of the state be amended to remove the limit entirely, leaving the question of tax levy to the discretion of the individual districts according to their needs.
 It is probable that such sug- gestion will be made to the next Legislature.
 The Educational Department has been conducting a campaign for in- creased educational efficiency, and has summed up the situation ef fectively in the following:
 Arkansas should lead.
 "First-ln paying her faithful teachers enough so that these teach CTS can afford to get proper pro fessional training-Arkansas boys and girls have a right to expect that we give them competent and ef- ficient teachers.
 "Second-In appreciating and preferring the trained teacher at a fair salary to the untrained or poorly prepared teacher at lower salary. This is the business of ev- cry voter. it is vital to the educa- tionai welfare of yodr children.

devote some attention to the off cial record and personal ability of "Thad" Caraway. This promises to be one of the prettiest contests of the campaign, for each of the can didates is a masterful speaker, and perfectly fearless
The courier-index., 1920-05-14

"Third-In making the teachers salaries large enough to cause un- trained or poorly prepared teachers to seek proper preparation ana training. Hundreds of our best teach CTS have quit the profession. For the sake of the children let us do all that we can to cause many ot our best young men and young wo- men to enter the teaching profes- sion"
 Another important feature of the election next Saturday is the selec- ton in each county of the state of County Board of Education of five members who shall have super vision over the educational affairs of the county, outside of the special districts which may be located Tn the counties.
 This is new matter, and there has ben some confusion in some of the counties on account of It, but the system promises to work out satisfactorily. This board, among it's other duties will have the selection of a County Super intendent of Schools to be select ed as city superintendent is chos- en, with somewhat similar super visory work.

The "key-noting" phase of the campaign is in full swing. The can didates are busily engaged in the construction of their platforms. and in the effort to avoid knot-holes and other defects in the blanks they use.
 There are so many of them that it takes some time to get around, but as the country roads improve and the warm weather approaches the open season for candidates IS upon us.
 The numerous aspirants, particu- larly for the governorship, have found it advisable to arm themselves with shot-guns that scatter, for there are so many targets to shoot at.
 Time has been when rifle load ed with some one issue was suffi- cient, but now the candidates travel in covies and each candidate must have political ordnance that will cover wide range.
 Political forecast are for rap idly rising temperatures, winds blowing from all directions, often of cyclonic proportions, tempests in the north, east, south, and west, also in the center frigid relations be- tween former friends, and generally unsettled conditions until after the second Tuesday in August.
 Keynote speeches,-or keystone speeches, as one of the candidates has it,-have been delivered by a majority of the candidates for governor, and the issues are being more or less sharply defined.
 Judge Haynie will make another keynote speech this week, and Col. McRae, his ellow-townshman, who has been actively in the campaign for some months, will make his formal opening soon.
 The fight on commissions and legislature and the pardon records of other governors is now sharply drawn. This may bring about re- taliatory measures on the part of some of the commissions that are being attacked, and when it does, there will be developments that will recall the palmy days of Jeff Davis politics.
 The race for the United States Senate continues to divide attention with the race for governor. Con- gressman Caraway has already paid his respects to his opponent in the Benton speech, and next Saturday Senator Kirby, if his opening speech at Conway will, if rumor be correct,
