PHOENIX BIG CITY

That Phoenix is one of the largest
cities in the west, may not be gen
orally known, but it's a fact, never
theless. This was proven conclusive
ly on the evening of Oct. 18th when
two prominent society women de-
cided to attend the big CIRQUE at End
avenue and Grant. They started n
the direction of the circus, walked
for an hour or more, and then tried
to find their way back to Center
street. They CHANGED to pass a
policeman who directed them to
Center street. and they were too
chagrinned to attend the circus, so
returned home.

High School Notes

Friday afternoon, the weekly class
assembly of the Colored Division Of
the. Phoenix Union High school was
held in the chapel, and a splendid
literary program rendered. DR.. R..
II. Harbert, pastor Of the A. M E.
church, delivered an able address to
the students and his remarks were
well received Hon. A. A.. Belts,
president of the High school board
also made an interesting talk. Mr.
Belts is a pleasing speaker and
knows how to interest young people
The boys gave one of their class
yells as mark of respect to each
speaker. The enrolment at the
High school is 73, and Mrs. G. B.
Caldwell and her assistants are to
be congratulated on the wonderfully
efficient manner in which they are
handling the situation. No teachers
anywhere are superior to our High
school faculty and their work in the
Colored Division is bringing forth
much fruit. In the language of the
old Saxon we say: Esto perpetua.

TEETH AND BACKACHE
By II. Addington Bruce

n OF only victims of recurring attacks of
N lumbago but sufferers from any kind
of chronic frequent backache for
which no definite cause has been found, will
do we'll to reckon with the possibility that
their trouble may be due to dental disease
And this possibility should be taken into
account even though the teeth themselves
are quite free from pain, and, to all appear
ance are in a perfectly healthy condition.
For it has been found, by physicians who
have specially investigated the matter. that
the kinds of dental disease responsible for
backache and other evils do not rule
show on the surface. They Turk about the
roots and in the canals of dead teeth.
Some physicians nowadays 90 SO far as
to account dental disease among the
chief causes of backache. One such physi-
clan is DR.. George Martyr, Of Los Angeles,
who at meeting of a medical society pre-
sented some figures of really startling sus-
gestivene ss
periences with backache patients through a
period of two years. In that time he ex-
amined and treated 1853 men and women
afflicted with chronic backache.
All were given the benefit of searching
laboratory tests as we'll as a thorough clin-
cal examination. In no fewer than 127 cases
Dr.. Martyr definitely traced the perSlst1ng
backache to so-called focal infection, and in
more than 100 cases the infection local.
lied about the teeth
Mostly it was in the form Of dental abb
scesses painless and revealed only when
X-ray pictures OF the teeth were taken. DR..
Martyr expressly noted, in his address to
the members of the medical society:
''These patients rarely complained of pain
or swelling about the diseased tooth, and
very often acute backache or painful men,
situation were the only symptoms Roent-
genograms of the teeth showed one or more
APPEAL assesses in each instance"
oddly enough in some of the most severe
cases of chronic backache only one tooth in
otherwise healthy set assessed.
Still more oddly, in some cases though no
assesses were found evidence of infection
was detected in teeth merely dead" the re-
moval of which was followed by cessation Of
the backache
In this connection DR.. Martyr cited one
peculiar case:
"Mrs. l.. suffering very acutely. The
lower right molar was abscessed and | adj
vised the removal of the lower right bcus-
pid it being devitalized.
The molar alone was removed, with relief
of pain for two days. Pain then returned
with greater severity than before, but on
the removal of the devitalzed bicuspid the
patient was entirely relieved within a few
days. '"'
In all of this, manifestly, there is medi-
cal hint, that may prove of the utmost inn.
portance when it is problem Of dealing
with backaches not attributable to strain,
constitutional disease, or other readily DEM
onstrabe cause.

Our Vanishing Holly

4 LONG age though it has been since
n shatesreare's merry forester went
caroling, "Heigh no. sing heigh no
unto the green holly" it will not be many
winters more till that bright tree has persisted
from our woodlands, unless there is prompt
and general cooperation in conserving it. For
years the supply has shrunll before the axes
of vandal traffic. so that in some regions
it is quite exhausted and in most others is
fast vanishing. A seasonable warning comes
from the Washington headquarters of the
American Wild Flower Preservation society
"Of all woody plants in the East" runs the
statement, 'holy and it's close relative win
terberry are in the greatest danger of exter-
mination Around large towns where they
were formerly common, one has to go farther
away each year to find them, and much OF
the holly that reaches the market has been
stolen"
To the truth Of that last observation many
Georgia landowner can bear witness Pri-
vate estates are entered by petty thieves who,
for the sake of a few Yuetide dollars, will
destroy forest growth that cannot be restored
for years, if at all Not holly alone, but
LINE, cedar and other decorative trees are
proved UPON, with a recklessness that is
proving ruinous to the beauty Of many a
landscape. Arborculturists who grow such
trees and shrubs for the market are, of course
entirely within their rights. But for the
vagrant huckster who peaches for his stock,
there ought to be neverfailing condemnation
Numbers of states have adopted special statutes
for the protection of holly, dogwood and other
charming trees in peril of extinction But,
with or without such measures, the public
should exert its utmost influence to accom-
plish the important end

dalai. will no True-Believer pay ten for
such a slave? Wilt not thou, Ayoub?
Thou Hamlet-ten phiips?"
But one after another those to whom he
was offered shook their heads. The bag
gardness of Lionel's face was too umpire
possessing. They had seen slaves with that
look before, and experience told them that
good was TO be done with such fell
lows. Moreover, though shapely. his mus
cles were too slight his flesh looked too
soft and tender. Even at five philips he
would be dear. SO the disguised dalai came
back to Ali.
He is thine, then for five philips Allah
pardon thy ayarice."
Ali grinned, and his men seized upon
Lionel and bore him off into the back
ground to join the two negroes previously
purchased
And then before Ali could bid for an
other of the slaves he desired to acquire, a
tall, elderly Jew dressed in black doublet
and hose like a Castian gentleman, with a
ruffle at his neck, plumed bonnet on his
gray locks, and a serviceabe dagger hang
ing from his girdle of hammered gold, had
claimed the attention Of the dalai.
