FLOOD DISASTER
 SHOWS LESSON

Washington, Oct. 20.-China's great
 flood disaster in Anhwei province her third of the current year, should
 be lesson to the United States. show
 ing what may follow indiscriminate
 deforestation, says Dean Reisner of the College of Agriculture and For
 estry at the University of Nankfn In
 a detained report to the American Forestry Association.
 China with her floods is an exam
 pie to the world of the need of refor-
 expenditure for various forestry en- terpCises, mainly nursery work and forest planting, is from S20O,000 to a quarter million dollars, the production series. and the planting of 25 1000, 900 to 30, ,0O0, 900 trees on 100000 acres of land. This may seem small when compared with some other countries, background and the fact that China's
 interests in forestry is only a very few years old.''
 '"The magnitude of the devastation
 in the Anhwei province, says Charles Lathrop Peck, president of the asso- citation in giving out the report of Dean Reisner, 'tmay be seen when we consider that the flooded area is twice the area of Massac achusetts or about 15 900 square miles. The population of the Bay State is a aroud 10000 people. which is 100000 less than the sufferers in the flooded areas The crowded conditions will at once be
 seen. Rail connections between Shang- hai and Tientsin and Pekin were soon cut by the Anrwei floods caused when the Hungtze Lake and it's tributaries overf1owed about so miles to the north of Nankin. The deforested condition of China are the causes not only of the floods, but of most of her fam ines in that country

after I'd extracted 29 of his teeth, he smiled and
 Any more, Doctor!"

%fuGn IS stranger LldL MctiOn, and just to prove it- although we're not in the habit of using any of our pa ient's names-We feel that if we didn't in relating this nar- rative, there would be a few "doubting Thomases" that might wink one eye and say ga blame good fish story'"!
 So, in this case, we're going to tell you what Mir. William K. Vincent, 50 Court land St., this city, did and said after we had extracted 29 of his teeth!
 We tell this incident with MT. Vincent's permits sion. In fact. this man thought fl was good idea because he was "tickled-tO- death" over the work we had done for him.
 Some time ago, MT. Vincent had a series of Oper- ations and the ether used, in- directly brought around Riggs Disease.
 Coming to US, we ad- viScd that every tooth in his mouth come out-they were all throwing out pus.
 Accordingly, one of our dentists set to work and on Saturday, two weeks ago-' pulled IA of the teeth. The remaining 15, or lower teeth, were pulled a week ago Sat urday. After the attractions, MT. Vincent said he went out and had a "big meal!"
 Of course, we gave the patient NOVO-cain-and here's his own E0rsonal version of the affaifs
 "I didn't know that the Doctor was pulling any one of them out. If | had 29 more, Ed have them pulled, too. didn't feel the least bit of pain. It was all over before realized"
 By next Saturday, this man will have an entire set of new teeth, and you may rest assured that these teeth will in every way look ONE HUM DRIED PER CENT BETTER than those we pulled but each and every new tooth will be healthy - and RIGGS DIS EASE, or even Pyorrhea, will find the plates mighty poor camping ground"
 Just think-TWENTY- NINE teeth pulled - AND NOT THE LEAST BIT OF PAIN.
 
 MT. Vincent's reason. as he stated, for comina here. Was-to get the best dental service in the city at a nomi- nal cOSt-and he now claims he got it!
 You're going to come here eventually - because you, too, desire the best den tal service and attention in The city at nominal prices so, why not eliminate the waiting, and have it over with. We WON'T HURT YOU A SINGLE RIT!-for if we do, you don't pay us a penny.
 And, we've extracted over 100000 teeth in Bridge port.

nourishment that cannot be substituted for a foundation. This will start the di- sestive organs to work in the right way. After that the calf may beremoved to pen which has been thoroughly cleaned, disinfected and liberally bedded. For a couple of days three pounds of milk should be fed it three time day, and this quantity increased one pound a day until the little animal is able to consume i5 pounds. CAosewslchsng shuold be- kept for any bad results that might come from the feeding.
 After. week old plenty of pua and clean water must be within easy ac- cess of the calf care being taken that it is fresh and clean, for foul or stale water would be apt to cause trouble Water is of. great importance, and it is surprising the quantity the calf will Consume during the course of the day.
 When a month old a small amount of grain may be given in addition to the milk. The grain feed should compose 100 pounds of ground oats, 100 pounds wheat bran. 25 pounds of oil meal and three pounds of salt, all thoroughly mix ed. To start with. sprinkle a small amount. of this mixture in a clean trough and allow the calf to lick it.
 After it once has acquired a taste for the grain feed it will look for it as eag- erly as it does for it's milk. A little hay of the finest quality may also be given at this time. This will furnish the nec- essary roughage and at the same time keep the calf busy. Gradually working hay and grain into the daily milk ration will promote rapid growth.

Hartford. Conn. April 1s-The Sun day observance bill. to permit profession al baseball and football, and classical concerts on Sunday afternoon, under To- cal option, was adopted by the senate this afternoon in concurrence with the house. It will go to Governor Lake as Soon as engrossed. It will take ef feet when signed.
 The bill was taken up by Senator De- faney from the calendar and explainen. and it's adoption moved. An Amendment. was offered by. Senator Bowers, which, however, was rejected on his oynamo- tion. It would have required a license to play golf. row boat, paddle a canoe. ride horse or ride an automobile for pleasure on Sunday
 Senator Brown offered an amendment to provide that games mentioned in the Dill should not be played if they inter [ fered with public worship or the com fert' peace or quiet of any person. He spoke briefly for the amendment. denre- eating what he termed the tendency to hoeralize the Sunday. He said the Sun day of Washington and Lincoln, and the legislation of those days for strict ob- serance of Sunday. was good enough for him. He said that the bill gave to pro- fessional sports the right of unrestricted P4dy lol gwen III the law allowing anna teur sports, and his amendment was merely to put into the bill the same re- strictions as in the present law. He did not want the amateur sports law re- pealed. but he did not think 1t fair to give professional baseball greater rights. i He believed the people should have
 some measure of protection. He said that while Mt might be said that peo-
 pie as a rule do not hold servicts on Sunday afternoon, there are some people who do and they should have the right to hold that service without outside dis | turbances.
 Senator Brooks said that while Sen I ator Brown spoke of the old-time Sum- day, he should also remember that times i have changed. Senator Hall of Willing :, ton was against "commercializing the l day" saying that this bill opens the i door to business as we'll as sports, iand 1 was step in the wrong way. It was in
 the interests of promoters and ball play l ing would become merely a commercial proposition.
 Senator Costello spoke for the bill, be- 1 1ieving that 1t was progressive legisla.
 tion. Senators Sanford, Golden and | Bakewell were for the bill, the latter ] salzing that it was in the interests oi | good morality and the Christian religion
 After further debate the Brown amend. | ment was defeated.

SUMMER SQUASHEs AND MARROWS
 Summer sQuashes do not make much of a hit with a great many people as an article of diet because as they have been served there was too much uncertainty as to whether to try to eat or drink them, the general impression on the palate be- ing soft and wet
 Summer squashes do seem to have a tendency to dissolve when merely boiled and it takes some skill to secure them in sufficient solid form to Nserve. yet the squash must be eaten when it is young pr it Is of little value.
 If it is boiled it should be well drained to get rid of part of the general wateri- ness, but it may be cooked in substan- ton form so that it's real delicacy may be appreciated and that is by frying in much he same manner as egg plant. Cooked In this manner, the summer squash is a the vegetable. Vegetables marrows fried lre likewise a delicacy that is bound to become more popular as people become better acquainted with it.
 The method of frying summer squash and marrows is this: Cut the vegetable Into half-inch- slices or a little less. Dip them in milk in which an egg has been beaten, then roll in crumbs and fry In deep fat CT enough fat in the skillet so there will be no danger of their burning ,n. Turn them with a spatula or pan ake turner.
 Cucunibers sliced lengthwise and fried n the same manner are a comparative novelty but fine vegetable. Italians are particularly fond of big cucumbers cook ed in this manner. They are often served with lamb chops in Italian restau- rants.
 If you have never fried cucumber, it Is worth trying cut and is an excellent way to use up big cucumbers when there is a surplus
