Dentists Door Sign
Stops Bad 7toothdche
BY LOIS RoB1NETTE.

Did yOu GygT know it to fail that
the tooth which has tortured you for
weeks, entirely stops aching when you
started up the steps to your dentists
'sIt must be Christian Science" says
a local dentist, but that very thing al
WAYS happens and then they insist
that it doesn't need pulling at all
After taking weeks and weeks 10 set
up their courage to face the aeatlsk
lots of times they leave without ha'~S
ing thing done.
..The majority of people who coma,
to me-" continues the Topeka dentists n
"are absolutely convinced that ! m go
ing to hurt them no matter what
has to be done to their teeth. They
think it's a dentists business to hurt
people and nothing on earth can con-
vince them otherwise. OF course
dentistry today isn't altogether pain
less but it's a picnic compared to
what it was twenty years ago.
Nine times out of ten. the dentist
tells us, the first thing patient says
is VIII it hurt much, doctor?" The
women always remark how they nate
the buzzing of the drill.
Are men Drawer than women" he
repeated. mo, they are not. When II
comes to the dentists chair women .
have lots more grit and nerve than
the sterner sex. Altho women may
run from mice and be 'fraid of the
dark, when real pain is concerned
they never finch.
IT'S really laughable and on the
other hand rather pathetic to see q
big, brawny 200-pound giant who's
not afraid of the devil himself, nearly
have nervous prostration as soon as he
steps into the dentists waiting-room.
BLONDES or brunettes the bravestg
I'd say brunettes are. They aren't
SO nervous as blondes and usually take
things calmer."
About rs per cent OF the average
dentists practice is composed of wom- 4
en- and children. Perhaps it's because
women are more concerned about their
appearance than men and they realize =,
what good-looking teeth mean. The ,
men very seldom go to the dentist b
unless they think that their bad teeth -
are injuring their health.
The dentist says the biggest thing In 3
his trade is the art of pleasing people.
Most people, he says. know a lot more -
about their teeth than the dentist could
ever hope to know. so he has to be
a finished diplomat or else wear
threadbare and patched suits.
bad teeth may be inherited but tho
care means a great deal" :
Does sugar hurt the teethT"- is 4
one of the questions that's hosry with q
age, and the dentist always replies,
Most certainly and then he has to
explain the why of it.
And he is always asked what tooth
paste he recommends. But this par
ticular dentist incurs no jealousy
among the different toothpaste manu- 4
facturers for he says an apple is the 4
best cleaner in the world. Eat one
in the evening and it will protect your 4
teeth from bacteria at night-tl1e time
when most of the damage is done.

There has been filed with the coun-
ty commissioners of Jefferson coun-
ty. and approved by them, petition
for the gravelling of the Golden Belt
the full distance across that county.
Six miles of the road in Kaw town
ship. the first township east of the
Shawnee county line, has already been
gravelled-
o. X Williamson. county engineer
of Wyandotte county, believes that
the officials of Jefferson and Shawnee
counties will, within three years, pave
the Golden Belt, which follows the
north bank of the Kaw river, from
Lawrence to Topeka.
There is only five miles of the Vic
tory Highway between Topeka and
Kansas City which is not paved, con-
tracted to be paved, or under con-
sideration for paving That stretch is
four miles between the Parallel road
at the Leavenw ORTIZ WyandOtte cOun-
ty line and the town of TOnganoxie,
Kan, and one mile. now macadamized
between Kansas City and the Leaven-
worth county lines. The four miles
which are not contracted Tor have
the most part of heavy fills, which
will require months to settle. 1t is
probable that they will be settled and
paved by September I, 1928
The possibility of two paved con-
crete roads between Kansas City and
Topeka. is not at all incomprehensible.
according to NJ. W. Watson, state
highway engineer
One Road Not Enough.
"You will notice that the single
road, the Victory Highway. is not big
enough to carry all the traffic right
now-and it isn't even completed yet
Watson says.
It think that within five-at least
not more than ten years-there will
be three concrete roads from Kan
sas City to Lawrence. and two from
Lawrence to Topeka. Every one of
them will be needed to carry the traf-
fic load"

A twenty-acre tract of land near

KANSAS IN SECOND PLACE
Only One Other State Has Larger
Acreage Devoted to Crops.

Few Kansans realize the Importance
of Kansas agricultuarlly, according to
J. G Mohler, secretary of the state
board OF agriculture. AS a new side
light on its standing of the Jayhawker
state in agricultural lines, Secretary
Mohler pointed out that only one other
state in the United States had a greater
acreage in agricultural crops last year
The standing of Kansas in the num-
Der of acres Of crops is more strik-
ing, Secretary Mohler points out,
when it is known that the state rank
ing above Kansas in this respect is
Texas, with more than three times as
large an area as Kansas.
Iowa stands third among the states
for the total acreage devoted to farm
crops in 1921; Illinois, fourth, and Ne
braska. fifth The acreage of farm
crops in Kansas last year, according
to Secretary Mohler, was 22.S4O.OO0
The acreage of other states ranking
high in the list includes: Texas. 26.-
6S2, 600; Iowa 21.475, 900; Illinois
20, ISL, 900; Nebraska. 1SS1I.OOO

in Kansas with other middle western
states for 1920 and 1921. follows;

Other Political Notes.


1t now looks if the Democrats are
going to try and beat the Republican
nominee for congress in the Sixth dis
trict with one from their own party.
In late issue of the Hays News was
an item to the effect that J. H. Egan
of Cheyenne county was a caller, and
that he was a candidate for congress.
He was a candidate two years ago in
the primaries when it was three
cornered fight. He was not only get
ting acquainted then, but in the cleo
ton he received a handsome vote. If
Egan gets into the race in earnest he
won't let up his work until the voters
have had their choice recorded. 1t
now begins TO look if the Democrats
would have to draft a man to run for
congress in the Big Sixth district.
One Democrat of Smith county isn't
afraid to tell how he stands in his
political announcement. He is John
Huiting. He is a candidate for sher-
run on the Republican ticket.
want no Republicans to vote for me, at
the primary, nor those who call them
selves Democrats, who do not believe
in the League of Nations. AS the
League of Nations is the only instru-
ment or law to make wars impossible.
That we farmers will have to put the
gang at Topeka out of Office or they
will put us out of home and farm.
fOuT cOunIleS IN the SlSIn district
are claimed to be the banner wheat
counties in the state this year. They
are Cheyenne, RawEns. Sherman and
Thomas. And the wheat raisers claim
that Rawlins will beat all of them in
bushels raised this 1922 year. That
county is in the northern tier, and
joins Cheyenne on the east.
Nothing the matter with Beloit, the
largest town in the Sixth district. Her
population according to recent census
is 1921, the assessors only finding a
gain of Sc more than in 1921.
State Senator B. c. Culp of the Jew
ell-Mitchel district, is going to rest
this summer so he will be in good
trim when the legislature convenes
next winter. He is moving from his
Beloit home to his farm near Scots
Vile. The senator is one of the big
sheep raisers of Mitchell" county,
which until a few years ago fed and
raised sheep by the thousands. This
year it shows a. great falling off, the
late returns of the assessors giving the
county 1,241 head.
