tually recovered from injuries sus-
tanned in a fall Is weeks ago, Mrs.
Nancy Moffatt. 1924 Farnam street,
stumbled over q chair at her home
on her 18th birthday Friday night,
and shattered her hip for the Sec
ond time. Physicians fear that
tina last injury may be serious. be-
cause of the extreme age Of the
accident victim.

first injury, but had almost recov-
cred her strength. She was able to

Two Are Freed.-Lacking cor

lice Saturday, when it was found
impossible to convict either for
the robbery of the two Bettendorf
stores. Robert McCausland. the
third man OF the trio, was unable
to give a clear alibi, and is still
held in custody.
Notwithstanding the positive
Identification of the three suspects
by John Shearer. q clerk OF Burke
Brothers poolroom and by Art.
Semmerof Bettendorf confectioner,
the refusal of the three to make a
confession, coupled with the In
ability Of the robbers victims to
icorroborate Identification, resulted
in their release.

STATES URGED TO
KEEP UP FUNDS

When the federal aid road act was
the hope of those who favored this
legislation that it would result in
the establishment in all the states
of efficient highway departments
and that the states themselves
would be energized into taking an
active part in financing road con-
struction and maintenance. This is
the observation of NJ. o. Eldridge,
director of roads for the A. A. A.,
writing in the current number of
American Motorist.
Continuing, Mr.. Eldridge says:
Highway departments of one
kind and another have now been
established in all states. but unfor-
tunately certain commonwealth are
providing little or no state money
to meet federal aid dollars. In these
states the highway departments have
become merely clearing houses thru
which the federal government car
ries on its road activities with the
various counties.
Estates which fail to provide ade-
quate state funds with which to
meet the federal funds in measure
are failing to function as states.
Thus their highway departments
have become merely paper organiza-
tons created by legislative action in
the federal aid law. Certainly if
the federal government can appro-
pirate money to help the poorer
states build roads, then it follows
that these states should in all fair
ness be willing to appropriate state
money to help the poorer counties
meet this federal help instead of
passing the buck to the rich coun-
ties"

REVISING THE SOCIALISTIC
TAX LAWS

A great popular movement has
just been launched among the bust
ness men of the nation, to revise the
revenue laws of the United States so
it will no longer place heavy handi-
caps on production and place pre-.
miums on idleness or the holding Of
natural resources in idleness till the
rise in value makes tremendous pro-
fits on the investments.
The fight will be conducted along
the lines of enacting the Ralston-
Milan federal revenue bill Oh. r.
1880 now before the ways and
means committee in Washington.
and the pleal of the old Ralston bill.
1t has been found that just at
this time when high production is so
much needed, we have in operation,
a rernicious revenue measure that
actually fines people who conduct
productive enterprises, and takes
away the incentive to carry on man
uafacturing and production gen
orally.
The average person shrinks from
a study of the revenue laws, but to
put it in plain English, it makes a
great difference whether the farmer
who produces food in these days of
wholesale hunger and starvation, is
made to pay forfeit on all he pro-
duces and every time he buys some
thing finds some of the revenue
added to the implements or goods.
1t just naturally forces him out of
the production business and into the
wage cass while wages are high and
responsibilities of the wage Garner
are nil. The producers are taking
such risks as they never shouldered
before and they are paying five
sixths of the revenue, while the Deo-
pie who are not carrying RESPONSE
bilities and risks are paying one
sixth of the revenue
People will have these matters
brought to their attention this year
in more ways than one.

Bad Teeth Spoil the Prettiest Smile
Good Teeth Enhance It.

teeth are then cleaned with powdered
pumice on a small whirling brush,
and then cleaned again with chalk.
They look beautifully white.
To keep them white-though milk
white teeth are no longer considered
so beautiful little peroxide may be
used once week. This foams in
side the mouth and is one of the best
antiseptics that could be used. But
daily use would injure the gums.
The woman should find out from her
dentist whether she is subject to acid
mouth or not. and which dentifrice
would suit her best.
The teeth should be brushed twice
a day, night and morning. Many
recommend three times daily, but
this is almost needless cleanliness.
The brush should be used up and
down, not crosswise. so the bristles
can penetrate between the teeth.
This saves much decay and dis
6gurement.

NOE every six months the woman

go to dentist and have her teeth

little decay can take place, and such
tiny cavities as appear can be fixed
with small expense and trouble. The
longer the time between visits, the
greater the damage to the teeth and
the more painful the fixing
At this half-yearly visit, the teeth
should be cleaned by the dentist. All

THE FAIRIES HOLIDAY.

0NE morning when Elsie got up
~ she found 1t was raining very
hard and that Of course put an end to
all that Elsie had planned for the day.
She was to take her lunch with
some other girls and their mothers
and 60 to the park for a picnic.
Elsie did not want any breakfast.
She did not want to say good morning
even. She was cross at everybody be-
cause 1t rained. -
II Just think 1t is too mean for any
thing, this old rain to come and spoil
our fun" she said.
"But, my dear, the park will be
much sweeter and cleaner after the
rain," said her mother. BE good,
cheerful little daughter and SMILE"
But Elsie would not smile. She
pouted and even cried. and when
