The story OF the violin Ia an inter

Messiers brother-in-law, William
Burke, boarded with his relatives In
Gilbertville. He decided 10 90 To
Maine and left his effects at the Mess
Ter home, expecting 10 send for them.
About three weeks after reaching
Maine Burke was taken seriously III
and died and his effects, among them
the violin, became the property OF Mr..
and Mrs. Messier.
The violin was one which Mr.. Burke
had about 20 years and II IL supposed
II was given him by monk at Troy

mother, o widow, did general work for
several years. II In known that one
OF the monks took fancy TO young
Burke when he was about eight years
old and presented him with several ar

was somewhat Of q musician and be-
came quite proficient with the violin
but had not used the instrument much
the last few years Of his life.

THE TARIFF AGAIN

Washington, July 1.-THE detection
Of Republican Senators over the Ford
ney-McCumber Tariff bill, following
the general detection Of the Republican
press Is alarming the administration
and the Republican national organiza-
ton. Like the man who was swinging
the tiger by the tail, Republican Sena-
tors are hollering for someone to help
them let go. Senators like LaFollette
of Wisconsin, for instance, would like
to recommit the bill and have the
schedules revised downward. and are
freely predicting Republican defeat this
fall unless this Is done. Other Repub-
llcan Senators favor postponing the
passage Of the Tariff bill until after
tho election, and still others would like
to throw II out the window and the
Ship Subsidy bill with II.
Speaking by.and-large the Fordney-
McCumber Tariff bill Is becoming
about as popular a. a case Of smallpox.
The Democratic Senators have analy-
zed It and vivisected II so thoroughly
that all Of the infamies and iniquities
Of the schedules 80 far discussed have
been exposed and made plain to the
general public. These exposures show
that the extortionate profiteering rates
Of the bill are not comparable to any
thing short Of burglary In the first de-
gree. The popular reaction against
the bill has 80 affected some Republi-
can Senators that they are beginning
to declare their intention to vote
against It unless certain schedules are
largely reduced.
Senator Lenroot, Of Wisconsin, re-
Gently said, "If rates like this nre TO
be written In the bill In any great num-
Der ! shall be relieved Of any obliga-
ton to support It,
Senator Norris Of Nebraska had pre-
viously declared, awe cannot defend a
bill built on these principles. You may
get the votes to put II through, but !
warn you now that we will be the suf-
ferers.'
The latest insurgent against the bill
is Senator Edge Of New Jersey, who
said;
THE passage Of this hard and fast
tariff bill without opportunity for GER
tain elasticity Of rates might prove q
national calamity. As much an real
lie, In many cases, the necessity for
higher schedules for our farm and fac
tory products, feel that would fail
In my duty II finally supported a
measure, which, while II unquestlon-
ably provides much needed protection,
still might result In u further dlminu-
ton Of our trade with the world, 30
necessary to the prosperity Of every
class OF citizenship
Even Senator McCumber, In charge
of the bill and other Republican Sem
ators like Cummins, Of Iowa, Frellng-
huysen, Of New Jersey and Townsend
of Michigan, openly admit that this Is
no time to pass tariff bill. But this
Is not the reason why Republican lead
ers and the Republican administration
are trying to find the way TO shelVe the
bill until after the election. They fear
defeat ut the polls, and this fear is the
only consideration that would prevent
them from carrying out their contract
with the special privilege class 70 mulct
the general public through profiteering
tariff rates.
The Tariff bill, which was one Of
Mr.. Harding's administration assets,
has become one Of Its greatest liabill-
ties.

siderable choice of models which are
entirely airworthy selling at $500 and
upward A flying boat carrying two
passengers costs about $500. In the

TO commercial flying there Is also an
excess Of pilots and mechaniclans. Air
pilots may be engaged for $f0 week

Ing upon their experience. The own

rate. m
In larger machines carrying several

II, died, and were buried in the local
cemetery that afternoon after a dou
BILE funeral held in the Baptist
church. At this time six of the chill
dren are in various stages from
doubtful to out of danger with ply
sicians hopeful of their recovery, the
outlook being fair for them with pos
sibly one exception. A skilled nurse
is in charge of the situation and ev-
erything possible is being done to re-
store those afflicted to normal health.

these make the teeth work. Our teeth
must work If they are to be strong.
1t is for this reason that all Of N
should eat hard foods to exercise our
teeth. Soft foods cling TO tho teeth
and cause them to decay.
Are baby teeth importantf II you
want good second or permanent teeth
we must give the baby teeth atten-
ton. The permanent teeth form or
grow between the roots Of the baby
teeth. Perhaps you will say that is
not true, because baby teeth do not
have roots. But they do have roots.
The roots of the baby teeth dissolve
before they come out.
If we allow these first teeth to de-
cay we will perhaps injure the tooth
below it that is soon to come through.
Is It worth while to have baby teeth
filled? If the baby teeth have cav
tiles or start to, decay they should
have'a temporary filling put in them.
If this Is done the teeth will last their
full time and perform their duty in
helping masticate the food.
If It is not taken care Of until the
the gum will heal and shrink up and
when the tooth below is ready to come
when the tooth Glow is ready to come
through, the surface of the gum is
tough and It will probably cause the
teeth to come in crooked.
When does the first Of the second
set Of teeth appearI The first Of
the second teeth, called the six year
molars, come through when the child
is about six years Of age.
How can you locate the six year
molars? Look in the child's mouth
md count the number Of teeth from
the center Of the jaw. II there is a
sixth tooth It is the six year molar.
Why Is the six year molar such an
important tooth? The six year mo-
ars are called the "Pillars Of the
Dental Arch" They are called the
pillars because they are the teeth
that regulate the placing Of the rest
f the second teeth. They are the
teeth that help the other teeth to
come in in their proper places, and
helps the jaw to stay in place.
If the six year molars decay and
are pulled out the gum shrinks nd
this makes less space for the rest Of
the second teeth to come in. There
fore they come in crowded and crook
ed. It must be remembered that wher
the six year molars are pulled ne
teeth will come in their place, because
they are Of the second set of teeth

brushed regularly by the mother
with a soft baby tooth brush. Use a
little weak salt water for the brush
ing.
Why should teeth be brushed night
and morningf-H the teeth are
brushed night and morning there
will be less chance for particles Of
God to remain about them to cause
fermentation. If fermentation starts
and acid is formed which eats into
the teeth and causes them to decay.
Best method of brushing the teeth
Spend at least one minute brush
ing the teeth. First Of all have a
good, clean brush. The small pro-
phylactic brush is the best. Use a
good tooth paste or powder. II ac-
cidentally you run out Of either use
equal parts of salt and baking soda.
Do not spend all the time brushing
the outside of the teeth, but get the
backs clean, also. At least brush
from the gums upward to get particles
tongue and brush it gently Rinse
mouth well. With the tongue push
the water back and forth between
the teeth Use dental floss to clean
from between the teeth.
Please remember-The second and

like the jewels they are. Beautiful
jewels receive great care; so should

children.

Earl Mehl, sixteen year old son OF

He was discing in the field when
his six-horse team became fright

half of the distance over a hard
road, the team running into the
yard at home before he was released.
His body was fearfully bruised and
lacerated but the young man retain

family and friends and telling them
of his awful experience. He was in
