him If he knew Mr.. Jones in Now

quite often. When Professor John

Johnston WAS induced to make a

Professor Johnston addressed the

Random
Thoughts
ON "GOING TO THE DENTIST"

A LII have to say about it is
"a this: Some things have to be
borne. You may be~permit-
ted to die peacefully or otherwise in
your bed with your vermiform APP
pendix still in your little inside, but,
alas! a man cannot die Of the tooth
ache. Would that he could, but
cases are rare. Death rarely visits
with its balm the person who has
the toothache or the person who is
sea-sick.
If people could die with the tooth
ache, the dentist would have hard
er time. AS it is, rather than suffer
the ills we have, we fly to others
that we know not Of In olden times,
the sign outside of the dentists shop
was huge tooth hanging to an iron
crane over the narrow and soiled
stairway leading to his temple of
pain The old-time dentist was new
er in view when you went in. He
was not surrounded by marble and
ivory and running water and nickel
plated anaesthetics. Not so! He was
in the back shop making teeth; and
if he saw you come in, he would
wipe the pqmice-stone from his
hands onto the seat of his trousers
and pry open your mouth before you
could say Jack Robinson. That
swinging tooth represented the ex-
act size of the tooth that he pulled
Every time, without fail, when as
boy, parted with tooth, it meas
ured at least IS inches wide by
three feet and half long.
Treating the subject subjectively,
there are some very good thoughts to
be promulgated about the relation of
the individual to the dentist-especial
ly the old-fashioned tooth-puller. One
dentist invented machine that work
ed by levers and exerted an enormous
pull He pulled on an old lady's
tooth with this machine and yanked
out her whole skeleton He took her
home in pillow case. 1t happened
that she did not die, SO the doc was
lucky. And what was better, she
lived seven years, known as the en-
dia rubber lady," and was complete
ly cured of rheumatism of the bones
having no bones to ache.
This is an extreme case from the
viewpoint of the outsider, but per-
fectly credible to the man who in the
golden days sat down and permitted
the dentist to grab hold of a tooth
and yank it in cold blood. OF course,
things are better now. One can al
most go prancing into the door of
the dentist; but in the old days while
he went prancing all right, he did
not always go in. have pranced
miles on the dead run to the dentists
tlLu juot ctos \ Iul lISu InO uOOl
pretty softly, too-the toothache has
stopped in contemplation of the flu
ture. You can work that several
times with some teeth. They are as
intelligent as a dog that expects
licking. I do not know that there
IS any moral about this talk, but I
am sure that it is not immoral and
that is a good deal. 1t is pleasant
to know, however, that science is do
ing SC, much for us, 1t is taking our
arms and legs off painlessly, remov-
ing our teeth with soothing music of
the ether and the monograph. Some /
day it may do as much for our sins
and iniquities. St. Peter will hardly
know us.

Beautiful Coloring
in Present Day
Bedspreads

IN choosing bed-spreads. the care
full housewife finds several prob
lens to be considered. The
spread must harmonic with the
room in which it is to be used, it
must be pleasing to the eye and dain-
ty, yet not too perishable, must be
up-to-date, and above all must not be
too hard to launder or clean.
The once popular Marseilles
spread is not considered decorative
enough for the present day house
wife unless colored to match her
rooms.

are popular for girls rooms where
laundry work is done at home. The
lace all over spreads may also be
used when they can be done up in
the house.
Linen, embroidered or stenciIed
spreads are fashionable just now.
Some have appliqued floral patterns.
Others have taken the form of the
old-fashioned patchwork quilt One
spread that was much admired was
done in the old Star of Bethlehem
pattern, the star being white with
pale blue stitching, on deep blue
field
The candlewick spreads are rath-
er more expensive than in the olden
days, which does not seem to affect
their purchase by those who have
the four-post beds upon which to put
them. In one instance, woman had
one of the spreads dyed a soft will
low green, and the effect was charm
ing and quite original
Silk spreads are considered eco
nomical by many. They are cleaned
by dipping in gasoline, which does
not fade their color or affect the en-
broidery upon them, But the orig
, inal cost is more than many women
feel they can put into a spread.
Wash silk spreads are really the
most practical of this kind.
The Persian cotton spread is the
spread of the moment. They are
beautiful in coloring, like the Per
sian shawls, and really go in room
of almost any color scheme without
being out of place
Turkish spreads are also sought
for, natural linen, deliberately en-
broidered. If the spreads are found
done in one color they are suitable,
, but if in combination of colors
they are likely to be too bright, and
the combinations not always good.
After washing. some Turkish spreads
suffer in appearance.
One of the novelties is a spread of
unbleached muslin, having a deep
Spanish f1ounce of calico in chintz
pattern. In most instances there is
an appliqued border above the
fiounce of the calico in floral design,
or the old-time block design. These
spreads are unusual, and most people
like them.
Still another new idea is to use the
muslin with fat border of colored
linen, couched at the edges with
heavy black floss. One spread done
in pale green with black was very
effective

least and ordinarily "a hours or more,
after it reaches the consumer. If ice
can not be obtained, an iceless re
frigerator or some such device is a
help even though a temperature as
low as so degrees Fahrenheit can
rarely be maintained in it.
Milk should be kept covered to ex-
clude not only dirt and bacteria but
also favors and odors, which it read
lily absorbs. It should be kept away
from foods of strong odor, such as
onions, cabbage, or fish,
Bottled milk should be kept in the
bottle in which it is delivered until
needed for use. In fact from sani-
tary standpoint, serving milk On the
