The Troublesome Teeth.

The permanent teeth, 80 in number,
appear between the ages Of six years
to twenty-five years, more or less. The
last to be cut are the wisdom teeth,
in about Al per cent Of adults, one or
all four may never develop. An I'll.
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 in
famed and toothache is the result.
Thus the nerve and the decayed mate
rial in the pulp cavity causes an alb
scess at the tip of the root in the jaw
bone. This may produce gumboil or
break through on the face, causing a
scar. 1t 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.

Bagdad's Change Of Dress.

The war has wrought wonderful
change in the people Of Bagdad. not

adopt European dress. We cannot i'm.

Dodson Would Stop

Dodson is making a hard fight
against calomel in the South. Every

give the same reason, Dodson's Liv-

"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dfdson's Liver Tone

Suits" said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Hone is per-
conally guaranteed by every druggist
A large bottle costs bN a few cents,
and if it fails to giyE easy relief in
every case of liver $luggishness and
constipation, you Have only to ask

Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no billiousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or constipa-
ted bowels 1t doesn't grippe or cause
inconvenience all the next day like
violent calomel. Take a dos of cal
omel today and tomorrow you will

NO FOOD FOR THE HAIR,
so GOOD AS COCOANUT
AND PALM OILS

The proper blend OF these oils when
perfectly saponified add just that pre-
requisite needed to give life to the hair
and health to the scalp. So excellent
are their virtues that they have been
used separately for years as first aid
for the hair.
When perfectly blended and sus-
pended in solution, perfectly saponi-
fled as in Shuco Shampo they are
valuable and almost indispensable to
the hair.
Soap and the many cheap forms of
emulsion for the hair more harm than
good. They leave harsh sticky film
that covers the hair, STILES out its
life and catches more dirt and dust
than before.
Shuco Shampoo on the other hand
softens the hair, puts new life into
it, rinses out thoroughly and leaves
it sweet, fluffy, luxurious and wavy.
Your mirror will tell you why Shuco
Shampoo makes hair with a thousand
lights. 6Oc at all drug stores.
