got the bird at the poor farm, with
the assistance of Steward Henry

to fly, so it was placed out on the
back porch of the shop Tuesday for
a little airing. 1t is a fish eating

Replant Your Lost Teeth.

When ones front teeth are knocked out there Is no need to leave them on the floor, for they can be relnserted by good dentist.
 Dr. H. NJ. Savery tells in the Lan- cet (London), of two cases. in each of which several teeth were dislo- cated from their sockets. In one case the teeth were placed in salt water while the dentist carefully washed out the sockets. Then they were reinserted. a stitch or two taken in the gums and the jaws were ban daged shut so that the teeth bit on a pad of lint. In the other case the teeth still hung to the gums, so the sockets were cleaned out without de- taching the teeth. In both cases the teeth became solidly fixed and the patients could use them for normal biting in few months after the acci. dent.
 Dr, De Witt c. Henry of New York replaced not long ago the teeth of a truck driver that had been knocked out In a collision. The man had picked his teeth from the gutter and ran up to the dentists office carrying them in his hand.
