Il too, have heard the rumor, but,
so far as l am concerned. it is with
out foundation. Friends have sug-
gested to me the propriety Of coming
out. have made absolutely no
move in the matter, nor is it likely
that 1 shall do so. The honor of
being mayor of such a city as this
is, of course, a high one; so high, in

NO OBJECTION
TO FALSE SETS

PITTSBURGH. April S-For some
time it has been an axiom among
theatrical people that a young wo-
man without perfect teeth-false or
natural-could never make a success
on the stage. and now it is announc-
ed by no less an authority than DR.
c. j. Holiister, of the dental division
OF the Pennsylvania state Depart
ment of Health that the young
woman of today il she wishes to re-
tain the affections Of man must
have cleaning set af perfect teeth,
because no young man cares to sit
opposite young woman whose teeth
are crooked and unsightly."
That rather astounding statement
was made by DR. Hollister in his ad-
dress before the Odontolosical So
ciety of Western Pennsylvania,
which Is in annual convention here.
Certainly no young woman can
make the impression she desires on
her gentleman friend if her teeth
are a blemish on an otherwise at
tractive countenance," said DR.. Hol-
lister. what young man. no mat
ter how strongly he may be en-
amoured of a young woman, will long
look at unsightly, ill-kept and crook
ed teeth without becoming indiffer-
cnt to their owner? The y,ang wo-
man of today must have set OF
cleaning teeth in her mouth and
they must be regular and show the
attention that their owner gives
them. The young woman thus equip
ped either by nature or mans handi-
work is the one best fitted to re-
tain the affections of a man..
