To screen out impure iron sub

duced so fine that they hold water,
C. T. Ingham of Cleveland told the

THE fine screens, made of bronze,

Two bombs, one of the type used by
aviators in the World War, were found
earlier in the week and turned over to
the police. They have been added to the

but the dynamite sticks probably will
be turned over to some District depart

Flip Shows His Speed.
To boast is foolish and may lead
To things embarrassing, indeed.
Flip the Terrier.

Flip hasn't always felt that way
about the matter. or else he has for
gotten at times. But, then, a whole lot
OF people say wise things and then fail
to live up TO their own wisdom. Flip
was enjoying his stay at the ranch,
where he and Farmer Browns Boy were
staying with Cousin Tom. There were
three other dogs there, They had re-
ceived Flip without what you might
call enthusiasm, but with stiff legged
tolerance They were coldly polite, and
cold politeness Is one of the chilliest
things know of. Flip, on his part, had
been his usual friendly happy -go-lucky
self. So after a suitable period they
accepted him as one OF them.
lived on the ranch, while Flip had, as
you know. first lived in a city of the
East and then, wandering out into the
country and getting lost, had been
taken in and cared for by Farmer
Browns Boy. With the latter and
Cousin Tom he had journeyed across
country in an airplane, and now here
he was among strangers IN a strange
country. Having seen so much OF the
Great World, it was perhaps natural
that Flip should be bit conceited and
do little Boosting He told of his adj
ventures on the Green Meadows and in
the Green Forest at home and on the
Dry Desert, from which he had just
come, though he took care not to men,
ton the fact that he had been lost on
the Dry Desert and nearly lost his life
there. He boosted of what he had
seen, of his courage and Of how he
could run, and he really didn't mean to
boast at all. He was merely trying to
make an impression on these new
friends.
The other dogs listened gravely,
though now and then one would SOL
EMMY wink at the others. They liked
this lively little fellow with his stub
tail and friendly manner, but they felt
that he was little too self-important
He had just little too good an opinion
of himself He needed to be taken
down. as the expression Is.
Early one morning Speedfoot the
Coyote was discovered near the ranch
buildings. The three Dogs knew
Speedfoot and all about him, just as
he know all about them. They knew
that they might just as well try to
catch the wind as to try to catch him,
and they knew that he never would
they were all of good size and of fight
ing stock. They also knew Just how
clever and smart he was.
It wonder" said one of them to Flip,
lust how fast you can run. That fell
low out there is too fast for any of us,
but if you are as fast as you say you
are you might be able to catch him.
He is a nuisance and ought to be
driven away. Suppose you go after
hin-that is. unless YOU are afraid"
Afraid" barked Flip. ME afraid of
that fellow! I'll show you. I'll show
you what running is, and you won't

A Sermon for Today
BIZ REV. JOHN r. GUM.

"And he went from year to year in
circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal. and Miz-
peh, and judged Israel in all those
places. II Sam; Wills.
Bethel, Gilgal and Mizpeh have long
since disappeared from the map. No
geographical engineer could now trace
the circuit over which Samuel went
from year to year, ministering to the
people Of Israel. But while that circuit
cannot be traced on the map, 1t appears
most luminous in history. The places
Samuel visited and the roads along
which he travelled have been wiped out,
but the record he made on those yearly
rounds has not been wiped out. That
record still abides and constitutes one
Of the most golden lines in the history
Of the worlds noble and good men.
We read of no heroic exploits in SAM
uels story. There was nothing Of the
daring and dashing about him. He was
perhaps the most simple and the most
modest of all the great characters whose
names appear in the Bibles gallery Of
immortals He was not so brilliant as
some others, but God never had a
truer, drawer or more faithful servant.
He never tried to make any great show.
but he made his name synonymous with
all that is good. honorable and noble.
From year to year he went on his
rounds. never playing to the grand
stand, but always playing his part,
faithfully serving the people, correcting
abuses, Fighting wrongs, teaching right
eousness and exemplifying in his own
life the righteousness he taught.
In his latter years, when the people
retired him as judge, preferring more
pretentiouS and pompous leader under
the title of King, Samuel was not one
his ideals and to the nation. And the
memory of his example and doings has
lost not one whit of its radiance with
the passing of the centuries. r'ations

may perish, cities and highways may be
blotted out, but the influence Of such
character and life abides forever.
Went from year to year in Q cir
cult" That describes the lives most of
us live. From day to day we pursue
the same routine, and from year to year
we trudge along the same rounds And
yet in these monotonous rounds, at
tending to common routine duties, we
may display the finest character and
the finest loyalty and render the finest
service. We can be good without genius
We can be brave without briliiance. We
can be faithful without fame. We can
be winsome without wealth. We can
be kingly without being Kings. And,
like Samuel, in spite of q seeming medi-
ocrity, We may make our lives sublime
with q beauty that will never fade and
with a radiance that will never grow
dim. We may release in the world an
influence that will bless mankind for
all time.

that grandmother's proverb CT a tooth
for a child had gained such currency.
Teeth need constant replenishment
Of lime to keep firm and free from
decay. With q normal diet there is suf-
flcient lime to keep the teeth in con-
dition, other things being equal. But
when double demands are made upon
the lime supply, and when the diet, be-
cause Of capriciouSneSS Is often too
lacking in calcium or lime, then the
supply Is diverted from the mothers
teeth to more obvious needs. AS re-
suit the teeth begin to decay"
But by watching the diet, keeping
plenty of green vegetables and milk in
the diet there should be little trouble.

brush, but really should have put that
in the plural. I advise every person to
use two tooth brushes. One has a
chance to dry out thoroughly If two
brushes are used In rotation. This is
especially advisable in the hot muggy
days of Summer, when everything Is in

Of time.

that Speedfoot was letting him do this
Then, when they were far enough
from the other dogs for no interference
from them, a funny thing happened.
Speedfoot stopped. turned, raised the
hair along his back and shoulders,
drew back his lips so that all his teeth
showed, and with one of the ugliest
snarlS Flip had heard in all his life
started straight for Flip. It was all so
sudden, so unexpected, and that Coyote
looked so dreadfully savage that Flip
put the brakes on in hurry. He sud-
denly felt very small. He hadn't sup
posed that this fellow had such teeth.
He didn't like the look in his eyes. Be-
fore he realized what he was doing
Flip turned and started for the ranch
If he had run fast before, he quite
outdid himself now. for Speedfoot was
right at his heels, and 1t seemed to Flip
that he never had heard such ugly
snarls.

dog gravely as Flip dashed in among
