OVER HALF OF
 TEETH PULLED
 CAN BE SAVED
National Dental Association
 Told Few Things by 1, 's@ College Professor.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. Aug. B. More than 30 per cent of the teeth now being extracted could be savel by proper treatment, Dr. J. F. Riddle, of the University of Pittsburgh, told the National Dental Association here. today.
 Teeth are in many cases the source of bodily ailments and their extraction has in some instances re- suited in cures which seem almost miraculous" Dr. Riddle said.
 However, we must not lose sight of the fact that many times teeth are sacrificed with the hope of cur ing almost every disease known to science
 Undoubtedly abscessed or pulp less teeth should not be permitted to remain in the mouth if they cannot be put in healthy condition. On the other hand, all teeth in which pubs have been removed should not be condemned" {.
 Proper treatment which Dr. Riddle said would save half the teeth being pulled, consisted of infinite care on the part of the operator, strict ob7 servance of approved methods of sterilization, the verifying of results by the x-ray, and followup by ex, animation and '.x-ray at regular in- tervalS."

ONLY SOLUTION
LABOR TROUBLES
In Japan Is Regarded By Viscount
Takahashi As A Profit Shar-
ing System.
Associated Press

TOKYO, Sept. 14.--The only salts
factory solution of Japan's labor
troubles is regarded by Viscount TAX
ahashi, minister of finance, as pro-
fit sharing system, according to the
Toxic Asa hi. In his plan the pro-
fits of joint stock companies would
be equally distributed between the
management, the shareholders and
the workers. -,
The finance minister said that
while the present troubles must be
attributed to the introduction of for
eign ideas of the relationship between
labor and capital, certain share OF
the responsibility must lie with the
capitalists who have not yet learn
ed to appreciate the true value of Ia
Dor but work inconsiderately for the
promotion of their own interests.
The workmen, he thought, should
be made more familiar with the cir
cumstances under which their en-
nlovers' business is being conducted
With the present high cost of liv-
ing and the increasing difficulties
of daily life that the people are fac
ing. he said it behooves both employ
ers and workers to be more serious
and to pay more attention to re-
ducing the cost of production.

FIFTY YEARS AGO
20 MEN BOUGHT
Squirrel Island For A Retreat From
City Life In Hot Months Of
The Year.

SQUIRREL ISLAND, Me-, Sept. ID.
Fifty years ago twenty men bought
this island for a retreat from city life
in the hot months of the year, formed
a community and gave it religion and
local government.
Now their children are celebrating
the golden jubilee of the establishment
of the Maine summer colony idea.
They declare that while summer
homes had dotted the coast of Maine
before 1871, it was the success OF
the Squirrel Island Community that
led to the founding of other colonies
all the way from Kittery to Sorren-
to.
Founded for freedom and fun mod
flied by church and village regula-
tion, the Squirrel Island Association
was from the first on basis of sex
equality. Women voted with men
under a compact described as being
"as obedient to Divine Guidance as
that of the Mayflower Pilgrims"
