depth of sixty-five feet. containing ap-
proxima tely 12,OO0.O0O tons. It is said

been stated that the city might permit
the gravel company to continue excava-

A Bank Teller's Tongue.

An old and STABILITY dressed man In the
line at the receiving teller's window Of q Ger
tain Chicago bank fumbled for some papers.
"For heavens sake hurry up!" snapped the
teller. The old mans eyes fiared, he emitted
. grunt Of anger and left the line without max
ing deposit Twenty minutes later the teller
was called into the cashiers ONCE and told his
services would be required NO longer than the
end Of the week. He asked for an explana-
ton and got it. The old fellow in the shabby
clothes happened to be the head OF one Of the
largest lumber companies in the middle west

accounts in that bank. He had dropped in to
make q deposit and open . personal checking
account The amount he intended to deposit
was large-the annual dividends FROM sew
eral of his organisations.
After his discourteous treatment by the
teller he had gone to the cashier and not only
refused to have his personal account in the
bank. but he limited also that his lumber COM
pany might withdraw its balance from the
bank The cashier was forced to rid the bank
Of an undesirable employee who had let his

The Passing Of Two Great Men.

The nation mourns the death Of two Of its
greatest and noblest men, in the passing Of
Chief Justice Edward Douglas White and for
mer Secretary Of the Interior Franklin K. Lane
Justice White was statesman as well as
jurist, having distinguished himself in the
senate before his appointment to the highest
tribunal in the world. From his seat on the
bench he was promoted to the chief justiceship
because Of his learned ability. He was high
minded and Intellectually powerful.
Mr.. Lane was brilliant and a man Of rare
capacity for real accomplishments. Both men
died with full knowledge of the approach of
the leveler Of all human ranks and both faced
the inevitable with calmness and courage
that was an inspiration to all men to 80 live
their lives that when the final summons come
they may repose themselves to pleasant

Fruit Add a,A the rssth.

Fruit Aaids and Tie Teeth.
Certain kinds Of fruit such as APP
plea, oranges, grapes. peaches,
plums, grapefruit and cherries con-
tain acids Of the organic group (not
mineral acids). When eaten such
fruits do not increase or produce
acidity Of any Of the body fluids or
Of the blood. On the contrary. the
acid fruits increase alkalinity or
decrease acidity Of the body fluids
and are commonly prescribed for
this purpose by physicians who
have actual physiological knowl-
edge. For example, lemon Juice or
lemonade or grapefruit invariably
increases the alkalinity OF the blood
and decreases the acidity Of the
urine.
Sometimes the teeth are put on
edge by these acid fruits. Is that
injurious to the teeth? Is it wise
to take an acid fruit as the final
part of q meal, leaving the fruit
acid in the mouth to act upon the
teeth?
Yes, it is wise. The acid reac-
ton. persists but a few moments in
any case, for it is soon neutralised
by the alkaline saliva poured out
under the stimulus Of the acid
fruit. But for the few moments Of
jmild acidity good work is being
ldone by the fruit acid. 1t aids in

food from the surfaces Of the teeth

teeth where food particles are like
lily to remain and undergo fermen-

A BLUE BERRY SURPLUS.
By Addie Graves.

Copyright, 1921, by Wheeler Syn
dictate, Inc.)
You do beat the band picking
blueberries, Dorothy. You've been
gone only two hours, and there are
16 quarts, if not more, in those
pails-they look as big as the
swamp berries, though; it must be
dandy picking. I shall have all
my jars filled with blueberries if
you keep on and have to, buy more
and they are awfully dear this
year."
Dorothy's heart was humping
like the big drum in the band
ragtime, at that She had turned
her back to hide her confusion and
was searching the pantry for pans
for picking over the berries. When
she returned, her mother contin-
ued:
II heard today-Jane Butterfield
told me-that Jim Bamforth is
home. She said he is in the insur-
ance business in Boston-is super
intendent of some Office Of the Ply
mouth Rock company. She said he
is doing finely, and was dressed up
to kill when he arrived. l suppose
he hates farming worse than ever
Dorothy made no reply to her
mothers remarks and changed the
subject by demanding some fruit
Jars. Jim and she had been sweet
hearts but her father had sent Jim
away because he refused to stay
with his father on the farm, insist
ing on going to the city to work.
If Dorothy's mother had follow
ed her on her BURBERRY trips, she
would have discovered the cause
of the full pals that reached the
kitchen each day. 1t was old Reg
who was the instigator of the whole
thing. He was with his master who
was picking blueberries in the edge
of the swamp which bordered Doro-
thy's fathers BURBERRY pasture
That he was there with premeditaI-
ed intentions of finding Dorothy
was the result of almost a years
endeavOrs and hope.

thy too? And hadn't she been his
comforter during almost a year Of
loneliness such as only dog
knows? His master followed him
hearing the conversation between
the two, for Dorothy had q sand.
witch which she was making Rel
speak for. Maybe she surmised
the nearness Of Jim.
With questioning eyes they
searched each others faces.
The years space Of absence was
spanned by few seconds. At last
after the flooded greeting subsidized
Jim invited Dorothy into the
swamp. where the berries we're big.

tall trees in the shade of young
pines. The BURBERRY bushes were
SO high Jim had to jump to catch
hold of the lower limbs. He had
to hold them down while they bott

II Dorothy had gone home al
once. her mother would have beer
more mystified than she was wher
her daughter did arrive. But the
couple sat down on a fallen log, en-.
