greater advances than Washington,

Cincinnati had no change whatever,
and the remainder had increases
ranging down to one-tenth Of ! per
cent in Boston.
Twenty-three articles of food in

higher included cornmeal, flour, rolled
oats, cheese, fresh milk, bacon, ham,

Such lovely black teeth
Such an expression in a detifrice
advertisement in an American maya
zine seems hardly possible.
Nor yet is it easy to visualize the
school dentist warning one of his
patients:
Sonny, l see some white spots on
your teeth. You must take better
care of them if you want to grow up
to be a strong man with fine, sound
coal-black teeth that everybody will
admire"
Yet specimens of two South
American plants, the juice Of which
turns teeth black and allegedly pre-
serves them, have been received by
the Smithsonian Institution. One is
the "quera" or "queda," collected by
w. Andrew Archer. now botanical
explorer for the Department of Agri
culture. in the Choco district of
Colombia 1t is used by the Citara
tribe of Indians, who chew the young
shoots.
A second, and quite different, plant
which allegedly has the same effect,
has been sent to Washington by
Guillermo King, Peruvian botanical
collector. who found it in use among
other Northern South American
tribes as a tooth preservative This
is known to the natives as yana muco.
