Above all, when she advises, she

daughter as happy as possible, and to
save her from the very pitfalls into
which mother herself may have fallen.

HYGIENE OF THE TEETH

RI DOR hygiene of the teeth is re
IL sponsible for more disastrous
consequences than we are usu-
ally pleased to admit. Mouth breath
ing. which is sure to follow obstruc-
ton of the nasal passages, is one Of
the earliest troubles to look after. This
may be corrected almost completely If
taken at its first stages. The teeth
will escape the deformity of being too
large and as a result crowded forward
and becoming prominent and insight
".
Probably no deformity is more to
be fought against than its protruding
or overhanging jaw. Tt spoils the sym
metry of ones face and causes a life
long defect, if not remedied in baby
hood or early life.
Some families through several gen
erations have teeth which are called
soft or feeble. This condition seems
to be the result of poor or deficient
nutrition. The children Of these I'M
dernourisked parents require very
careful attention to prevent the devel-
opment of carries. These poorly de-
veloped teeth are often seen in the
mouths Of children suffering from
scorbutic or rachtic disease and also in
those suffering from congenitaI
syphilis.
Do your best for your children's
teeth Give them hygienic mouth.
II you value their success In life. Re
member that proper diet is important
in teeth forming and development It
has been pointed out by leading den
lists that the teeth that are the least
called upon for proper mastication are
cften the worst in structure. Use the
proper coarse foods and have strong,

N. A. A. G p APPEAL TO OKLA.
GOVERNOR STOPS EVICTION
THREAT AGAINST RACE.

The appeal by the National Associa
tion for the Advancement of Colored
People to the Governor of Oklahoma
has been instrumental in stopping
threats and warnings to leave against
Negroes in the Verden District, near
Chickasha.
A letter to the N. A. A. CT P, from
the scene Of trouble in Oklahoma tells
how the threats were stopped:
Il am writing and sending you the
results of the notices that were being
sent to the colored people in the Yer
den District. I have made two trips
out there and found that the cause of
the trouble was that the colored people
were doing better farming than the
whites and the land owners were re-
placing the whites with colored.
81 think that it is about settled. On
my first trip out there I presented our
letter and the copy of your telegram
to the Governor. The white man that I
talked to and let read the letter and
telegram, thought that 1 was U. s..
Officer and has circulated the same.
Since then he has sent for me, so am
sure that it is all over"

This was source of genuine relief

robbery was committed.
His statement was proven to be true,
although he is still under sentence for
the commission of the crime. He is now
in Jail here charged with having escap-
ed from this penal institution, having
made a most desperate escape in COM
pany with fellow prisoner. Blunders
like these make this element of hui
mainly enemies of society and tend to
increase the troubles and embarrass-

prove these conditions, bu' the contin-

And again:

Now, does the Know-Nothing organi
cation not claim for THE native born"
"set of men" to be entitled to exclusive
privileges from the community as
against naturalized and Catholic citi-
zens; and thus, by virtue of birth, to
inherit the right of election to the Off
ICES of magistrates, legislator or Judge,
which are not descendible? They set up
no such claim for the individual per-
son native born, but they do set up a
quality for nativity to which, and to
which alone, they claim, pertains the
privileges of eligibility to offices.
Again:-Does this organization not
violate the 7th section of this declarat-
ion of rights, which forbids "all power
of suspending laws, or the execution
of laws by any authority without con-
sent of the representatives Of the peo-
pie, as injurious to their rights, and
which ought not to be eXercised?"
When the laws says and the represen
tatives of the people say, that Catlho-
lies and naturalized citizens shall be
tolerated and allowed to enjoy the
privileges of citizenship and eligibility
to Office have they not organized a Sc
cret power to suspend these laws and
to prevent the execution Of them, by
their sole authority, without consent
Of the representatives of the people?
This declaration denounces it as in
furious to the rights of the people and
as power which ought not to be exer-
cised

from the celebrated letter of Henry A.

Nothing Party in 1856. 1t reads:
Another complaint was, that they
had appealed in vain to British breth
ren." They said.
I'VE have appealed to their native
justice and magnanimity; and we have
conjured them, by the ties of our com.
mon kindred to 6isavow these usurpa
tions, etc. They, too, have been deaf to
the voice of justice and consanguinity.
We must therefore, acquiesce in the
necessity which denounces our separSt-
ton, and hold them, as we hold the
rest of mankind, enemies in war, in
peace friends"
I'll ere is proof, too, that Nativism
can't always be relied on TO help ones
owp countrymen, and that brethren,

fail whole people in trouble, just as
kinship too Otter fails families and in

this Declaration, with firm reliance
on the protection of Divine Providence
we mutually pledge to each other our
