SEN. NORRIS
G0VERNORSH|P

At the age of 20, when most men
are thinking of slippered retirement,
Senator George Norris (R.) OF Ne.
braska, is planning new political
career.
The veteran Nebraska liberal, who
has voted as often against his party
as with it during a quarter Of
century in Congress, wants to be
governor OF his State. In that Of
flee he hopes to accomplish some of
the things he has fought for in
Washington. He wants to make Ne
braska model State, from the
standpoint Of government.
Senator Norris has told friends
here that he win not be candidate
to succeed himself at the expiration
of his present term In 1881. And
If able to at that time he plans to
run for the goyernorship.
Government operation Of public
utilities is one OF his dreams.
Elimination of about half of the pub
lie offices now existing in each
State is another. A smaller, more
compact, less political legislative
system, embracing but one body. is
still another.
He feels that the State, rather
than the nation, offers the best field
for political reform.

Table Conversation.

A physician told of the following
case. a young husband suffered with
chronic indigestion and WAS on the
verge of n nervous breakdown. The
patient and his wife were always
auarreling. Most of the qtiarrels
started at the dinner table. The man
had what is sometimes called highly
developed sense of humor. lie WAS al
ways joking and razzing. He insisted
his wife had no sense of humor at all
For she would ny off the handle and
rush from the table in tears at even
his most well meant joshing.
They were dreadfully unhappy
Their health was being considerably
affected And all because he could not
restrain his clumsy witticisms and be
cause she had gotten SO touchy that
she thought every teasing remark
about the food and the service was de-
liberately insulting.
Practically every one of their quar-
rels started at meal time. The hus-
band got Indigestion. Then his teas.

and hatred in both hearts. They are

Further commenting. the doctor
added "1n the ordinary American

gether for the only time he sees them

he white velvet was too heavy for

The idea has been developed in

Strengthening the Teeth.

Dear Miss Leeds: My teeth slightly
overlap and are irregular. This seems
to be a family trait. Is it natural for
some people to have crooked teeth. or
is It an abnormal condition? Can they
be Strengthened? HELEN L.
Answer--Irregular teeth are quite
common. The condition you describe
results when the jaw is not large
enough for the teeth. 1t is an inner
tied defect that may be corrected dur.
ing childhood or adolescence. Some
times the removal of one tooth will
relieve the croWding. Braces are
sometimes used to straighten the
teeth Ask your dentist what is the
best way to correct your teeth. It is
a pity to grow up with crooked teeth
when simple preventive measures may
be, taken early in life.
