Yes, why didn't they get out

But then something happened.
The native who was conduct.

bottom Of the boat. What do
you think was in his hand when
he drew it up? A bow and
arrow!
Now what are they going to
do with that weapon of the mid.

puzzled.
Before finished wondering,
the native lifted the bow, placed
an arrow against the string,
took aim and shot It at the big
fish.
Such a splashing you never
heard. We rowed up to the fish
which was now floating on the
surface Of the water. II that fish
was one inch. he was fifteen feet
long. And we discovered after.
ward that he weighed over four
hundred pounds.
We dashed him to the side of
the boat and lowed him to shore.

each day is to
invite all the misery and ugliness
that attend decayed teeth, abb
cesses and q general uncleanly
condition Of the teeth, gums and
mouth.
Brush your teeth with a food
paste or tooth-powder. Some per.
sons prefer powder on the ground
that it is less sweet than certain
pastes and so better suits teeth
inclined to decay quickly.
Brush your teeth with a brush
that is not too large to fit easily
into every corner of your mouth
and that has uneven bristles which
viii fit into all the crevices Of
your teeth.
An excellent idea is to soak this
brush in cold water q few minutes
before using it, in order to soften
it sufficiently to prevent bleeding
Of sensitive gums.
An absolutely pure and harm
less whitener and cleaner Of the
teeth is the following powder:
Precipitated chalk 49,. ounces
Pulverized orris root 49,. 3 ounces
Vary this by the use about once
"a week Of powdered pufnice stone.
But despite every precaution
tarter IL likely to accumulate on
the teeth and nothing leads more
quickly to their decay. So visit
your dentist every month or SO
and let him remove the tartar
and thoroughly clean your teeth.
A most dainty last touch to
the toilette as well as O safe.
guard to mouth cleanliness is a
good mouth wash. Excellent
mouth washes are procurable.
But II you prefer 10 blend your
own, you might try the follow,
ing:
Permanganate Of potash. . 10 grains
Distilled water. ........... pint.
Use this as q mouth rinse and
gargle, but, of course, be careful
not to swallow It.
Drinking plenty Of water is as
beneficial to the mouth and teeth
as to the general health, for it
keeps the mouth--and, indeed,
the whole bcdy-frrigatsd ana
fresh.
The teeth, like every other part
Of your body, are provided to meet

teeth should be put is proper ana
thorough chewing Of food. And
they need the exercise of chewing.
Your teeth will be whittier, stronger
and lovelisr and your health also
will improve il you take time to
chew food properly.
1t Is well to eat a certain
amount Of hard food such as nuts
and apples each day. This pro.
vldes the teeth with exercise to
keep them in good condition. Such
foods as milk and fruit benefit
the teeth because they contain
minerals that give them strength
and prevent decay.
There is no more Charming
feature than lovely pearly white
teeth and they are as necessary
to your health as to your lowell.

and money expended on good den.

Synthetic Sugar Made

An Australian scientist announces

between the artificial product and the

The actual process of manufacture is
at present a carefully guarded secret.

Natiues Tattooed Bodies
to Protect Themselves

Tradition tells us that the Gioachi,
the alleged ancestors of the Annamites,
were fishermen and were constantly in
danger from marine animals and sea
monsters.
To prevent disaster from the genii
of the waters the king of AMMAN di-
rected his subjects to tattoo their
bodies with images of sea monsters
afterward with dragons, crocodiles and
other reptiles.
Bedouin women tattoo themselves
with figures of animals and stars TO
keep the evil spirits away. In Persia
women were formerly tattooed, believ-
ing that would insure happiness and
attract the opposite sex. Tattooing was
forbidden the Jews of Biblical times

Another chapter was written into ths love story of Julius Nosoris, 55 Market street, in police court this morning when he was arratgned be- fore Judge William C.

The police investigated the at- tempted suicide and found that the woman's husband had loft home for about three weeks and while he was away, Noboris is alleged to have played the role of star boarder at his home.
 On the husbands return, Noboris hadto leave the house shortly after the attempt to commit suicide was made Noborls and Mrs. Mitzua work at the same factory, and the husband claims that they have been 1 making dates and going out to- gether since the release of Noboris from the hospital,
