CHRISTMAS JOYS

Who does not feel the rapture, and ioy
of Christmas day? @
To see the merry children, so happy
in their play
Talking of old Santa, and all his gift
of toys,
To gladden. the heart of everyone
especially girls and bows
He cares not how the wind blows. he
needs not sleet nor snow,
Wherever there are children. he Is
always sure to go.
For each stocking hanging, the chill
dren tucked III bed,
But Santa steps so softly, YOU can not
hear his tread.
He peeps into each stocking, oft climbs
upon chair,
And leaves dolly on the shelf, with
curly golden hair.
His watchful eye is keeping, account of
each ones need,
So when he comes he never fails, to
do some kindly deed, 49,
Too rich, too poor, too lonely, he brings
hearty cheer. .... :.
BY lightning many burdens, and max
ing pathway clear.
Of all our days of please, our birthday
with the rest,
We welcome merry Christmas, that
always seemed the best.

NEW YORK. March s.-Father
Knickerbocker set his clock ahead
one hour at 2 a. m, today. Railroads.
banks, and the stock exchange have
all announced their intention of meet
ing the new time schedule.
While Sunday can hardly be taken
as a criticism. railroad officials de-
clared indications were that there
would be little confusion, despite the
fact many commuters retain a moss
backed prejudice against changing
their time pieces to conform to the
New York State law.
Municipal officials, discussing the
time change, are almost unanimous in
holding that New York will set the
pace. and everybody else will follow
the city's lead"
Sunday travellers found ferries and
trains running on the same schedules
as last week-that is, provided they
remembered to set their clio S<s ahead
an hour last night. Otherwise they
found themselves in town an hour
earlier than they expected.
Daylight saving will remain in eff
feet until a. m. on the last Sunday in
october.

TOOTH PULLING IS
FAD IN NEW YORK
Physicians, Failing In Diagnosis,
Put Blame on MoIars,
Is Charge.

Is In the grip OF q pulling cpl
demie that has amaze the dental pro-
fession. Visits to the hated dentists
chair. so feared In the past. have be-
come a fad for thousands OF persons
suffering from various physical and
mental ills.
Commenting on the statement OF
DR.. V. III. Fuqua. president OF the
Chicago Dental Society. that a wave
OF tooth pulling has swept the coun-
try. prominent dentists IN this city
say that physicians are to blame for
the condition. tr-.
The dentists charge that IL has be-
come the practice OF physicians, who
are unable to diagnose a patients
ailment, TO attribute the trouble to
defects OF the teeth. When ali treat
ment has failed, dentists say, the
physicians order the. patient to go to
the dentist and have perfectly good
molars extracted In the often mis-
taken belief that the teeth are the
source of the patients ailment.
While defending the medical pro-
fession. as q whole. Health Commits
soiner Copeland admitted yesterday
that some physicians are OVERRIDING
the practice OF attributing physical
Ills to defective teeth. He said:
"Of the 10000. 900 men examined for
the army during the war. o per cent
were rejected for dental defects. And
or. White. OF the medical faculty OF
the University OF Minnesota, who
made a survey OF all the patients.
admitted to the university hospital In
the past two years, found that IL per
cent OF them had troubles which
were traceable to the teeth.
1T IL a crime to have a good molar
| extracted until an x-ray examination
is made and positive evidence ad-
| duced as to the exact source OF the
trouble. or unless the manifest con-
| dition justines an extraction.
