HEALTH AND INDUSTRY

DR.. Address Of the U. s. Bureau OF

cern that established free dental
clinic for its employees The result
has been a greater output from its
factories than ever before. The
average number OF days of labor
was increased, the profits for the
firm and wages for the men were
both enlarged.
Some people may regard such
statement as a fairy tale, or they
may think that the reported gains
came from other causes than the
dental examinations. But when you
reflect on the tremendous value the
army placed on condition OF the
teeth, 1t Ia evident that this is
big factor in physical vitality.
No man can get the proper nutri'
ment from his food unless he has
good, teeth. And II he is not well

Twin Beds Lose
Capital FAVOR
Merchants Say Old Fash

BY D. G. Couples.

Twin beds might be the rage in
other cities, but married couples in
Washington are old-fashioned
enough to demand the time-honored
double bed.
A bedding manufacturer of re-
pute last week journeyed from
Pittsburgh to Chicago, ostensibfy
to inform the National Association
OF Bedding Manufacturers that the
demand for. mattresses for twin
reds is "sump'n terrific"
All of which Washington .furni-
ture dealers take with grain OF

II don't know how twin beds arc
selling in other cities" said one
big furniture dealer of this city.
but take il from me, the good old
fashioned double bed has a consid-
cradle batting average over the
twin variety.
And here's a funny thing about
bed selling. Tho bride and groom
OF a few years ago who came to
our place to buy twin beds now are
getting rid of these articles of fur
niture and are purchasing double
beds.

S4,5OO FIRE Loss
AT CASTELbERG'S
Defective Wiring Believed Re-
sponsible for JeweIry
Store Blaze. g..

Fire which started last night al
Castelberg's jewelry establishment,
935 Pennsylvania avenue northwest,
caused damage estimated at $4,000
X is said that defective wiring be-
tween the ceiling of the second floor
and the flooring on the third floor
was responsible for the blaze. There
was slight damage to the stock, but
office fixtures and recgrds were de-
stroyed. Much damage was also
caused to the building.
Water which flowed down the
stairs to the store where the jewelry
is displayed, was continuously being
swept out by employees and thus the
stock was saved.
Fire in the basement of the tailor
ing establshment of Edwin Potbury,
524 Thirteenth street northwest, early
today caused slight damage. The
flames were extinguished with the
aid Of chemical apparatus.

Jury service for a mere man is
very simple matter. For a woman 1t
has it's complications. 1t is no doubt
that Judge J. d. Wallingford, of the
Polk county district court, of Iowa,

special concessions to women jurors

announced that women serving as
jurors may wear hats in the jury

L Pair o. Gloves
| Serves 2 Men
One Armed Cronies Go
5000 and Expense Is
Cut In Half.


You can talk about the spirit OF
good-fellowship, brothcrly love and
cooperation. but these three a.tri-
butes govern the friendship that ok
lists between T.. Lawrence Phillips
and Elmer Crawford, captain of the
watch at the Southern Railway
Building.
Phillips has only a right arm.
while his friend Crawford possesses
only his left arm.
The men have been friencs for
the past thirty years. Several Gays
ago. on a cold day, Mr.. Crawford
was standing near the corner of
Thirteenth and F streets northwest
when Mr.. Phillips met him.
"where are you going?" said
Crawford.
g"Fm going down here to buy q
pair of gloves" answered Phillips.
Just then a wonderful idea seized
both men at the same time. Craw-
ford surveyed his friend and saw
that he had use for only one glove,
while he himself had use for only
one. Then they decided to "chip in
and buy n pair of gloves, the left
one for Crawford and the right one
for Phillips.
The hand measurements OF each
man are the sane, so the plan
worked out to a T. and ever since
then, whenever one of the ncn
would buy n pair OF gloves he wou ID
send the other to his friend.
Mr.. Phillips Is known to Wssh-
ington. baseball fans, having been
the official announcer at the Amer
lean League Park for n number cf
ycara He also was appointed by
the National Baseball Commission n
to act as announcer at several world
series games
