Use This Once a Week

No matter what tooth powder, paste
or cream is used, nor how often used,
at best it can only partially remove
plaques and stains from the teeth. The
proof of this assertion is the necessity
of frequent visits to the dentist for an
extra cleansing and polishing. Hence
the need of some homo treatment that
Is simple, efficacious and harmless.
After much experimenting with the
different grits and polishes an ideal
coordination has been worked out by
q dentist of many years experience
He has called it "Once-a-Week Tooth

The use of this product, in addition
to whatever dentifrice Is used, keeps
the teeth perfectly free from Shiny
plaques and discoloration. Anyone
who procures a package of Once-a

and uses as directed will not only keep
the teeth sparkling white and beautiful
but will prevent tooth and gum

SPIDERS Who SPIN
THREAD FOR GLASSES,
WORK WITHOUT PAY
New York Sun and Herald)

Over in Hoboken, N. J., in a large
surveying instrument factory, there
is a colony of 200 workmen who never
receive wages, yet who are perfectly
contented. They toll from early in
the morning until late at night, and
their only recompense is a housefly
or two apiece during day. They are
spiders-large, black, energetic spid-
ers-and they comprise probably the
most indispensable part of the entire
working force. 1t is their duty to
spin the thread that is used for cross
hairs in surveying instruments. Dur
ing the two months of the year when
they work they produce thousands of
yards of the almost invisible but In
valuable fibre.
This spider web is the only mater
ial that can be used successfully for
cross hairs in surveyors telescopes.
Human hair has been tried, but when
magnified by the powerful lenses it

hair is transparent, and 1t is alto
gether too large for this delicate pur-
pose. Platinum wire, finely drawn
is the best substitute for spider web,
not only small and tough, it Is very
elastic.
The spider colony works during
August and September. A. strike
among them may sound amusing to
the reader, but 1t is really a serious
matter For the purpose of urging
the little workmen to their tasks four
girls, trained to experiences in their
unusual duties, are employed; 1t is
their task to coax the spiders to work
,Svhenever they show signs of reluct
GSnce.
Coaxing the spiders really means
irritating them. The girl places one
on her hand and pats or taps it unit
It jumps toward the ground, leaving
one end of its thread behind. Before
the spider can reach the ground the
girl quickly attaches the thread to g
wire whirling frame, which she re
wolves in her hands. AS the spider
struggles to reach the ground she con
tinues to wind, and in that wav some
times gets several hundred feet o.
thread from a single spider.
The factory maintains large cage
for the spiders and feeds them on {
succulent housefly. During the fal
and early winter the spiders usually
die, and SO an entirely new colony
must be recruited each spring. Fol
selecting the spiders the company
employs a number of boys, to whom
It gives course of instruction so they

LEFT HIS ESTATE TO

the disposition of the estate of the
late Galloway Cheston. formerly of
Anne Arundel county, who entered
the aviation service during the world
war and was killed in France His
will was filed and admitted for pro-
bate in the county Orphans Court
here a few months ago, and it ap-
pears there was a misunderstanding
of its provisions. The testator left
his estate TO his mother the wife of
Commodore Theodoric Porter, of the
Navy, (retiredD. during her lifetime,
with directions that upon her death,
it should then be divided share and
share alike among the three surviv-
ing sisters Of the deceased. The inn
preston seems to be that the estate
was left to the three sisters outright.

The establishment OF a recruiting
station here is part Of big drive that
the War Department has launched to
secure recruits for the Army vocation
al training courses at various camps
throughout the country, although men
enlisting will be given the alternative
of joining any branch of the military
service they may desire. But the
SPECIAL mission tor which this recruit
ing party has been sent here is to se-
cure men to be put into vocational
training at Camp Bragg. owing to the
fact that Maryland has been allOcated
as the State for which recruits should
be gathered for the Nineteenth Field

main educational centres established
by the War Department where enlisted
men might launch upon course of
vocational training. Men may enlist
for periods of from one to three years.

only to those men who have seen sery-
ice previously.

CITY HEALTH OFFICER
REPORTS CASES

City Health Officer Dr. Joseph
Joyce has had eight cases of con-
tagious diseases reported to him this
month. OF these four are cases Of
scarlet fever and four of measles.
DR.. Joyce said this morning when
asked how many cases of grip or flu
are known to be in town, that he and
DR. J. J. Murphy had between them
forty cases, but that he had not had
reports from any of the other local
physicians.
Some OF the cases are said to be
very serious. Physicians are suppos-
ed, the health officer said, to report
all cases of grip.
One of the physicians in referring
to grip that is prevalent at this time
throughout the town, said a peculiar
feature this year with the disease
from which so many are suffering
is the relapsing. A patient will ap-
parently get we'll and will go out
and shortly after have relapse, and
often a second and sometimes third
relapse will follow one case of grip

GLASS FOR SUFFRAGE
Treasury Secretary, Soon To Be
Senator, Declares
Self
OUTLINES HIS REASONS

Carter Glass. known as a bitter OPP
ponent of woman suffrage, caused
jubiliation in suffrage circles in Wash
ington yesterday by urging ratification
of the Susan b. Anthony amendment
by Democratic legislatures which have
not yet taken such action. on the
ground that the Democratic party can
not afford to lose the favors of women
voters.
In a letter made public advising the
Legislature of his home State-Vir-
ginia to ratify the amendment he de-
clares that the States in which women
now have the ballot will be the pivotal
ones in the next election.
The letter, written TO Senator Mapp
one of the Democratic leaders in Vir-
ginia, says:
Needless to say, | have no conceal
ment TO make of my view of the STRAIT
egy of the suffrage situation. l assume
and am utterly opposed primarily to
woman suffrage especially by Federal
amendment; but, being opposed to a
thing does not make me refuse TO see
facts as they exist. Even without con-
stitutional amendment, women have
the right to vote in every pivotal State
in the Union. The simple, sensible
question is: DO we want them to vote
with the Democratic party in the next
presidential election. or with the Re
publican party? DO we want the
Federal amendment, the ratification of
which seems inevitable, applied by a
friendly Congress and a Democratic
president. or by an adverse Congress
and Republican president? Are we
going 10 refuse or repeal women's
votes merely because we did not want
women TO have the ballot?
This is the case, stripped of rheto-
rlc, and ! should say that the Vir-
ginia General Assembly would not be
willing to decide it precipitately or
rashly"
Suffrage leaders expressed surprise
on learning of the letter, having cat
alogued the Secretary as hopeless. -
They look upon the letter as one of the
most important contributions to their
cause since the amendment was adopt
ed because of Secretary Glass infiu-
ence in the Democratic party and the
fact that he is q Southerner
