Worlds Biggest TOOthache Cured

It's bad enough for a den. tist when people don't want to get into his chair, but it can be worse if someone does want to get in. Dr John Riccardi found that out this morning when Colonel Joseph Finch, eight-foot-high giant who's in Waterbury for few days, dropped in.
 "I want a tooth filled" said Colonel Finch, who was ac. companied by his aide, four and-a. half foot high Major Silver Wedding. "Where's the chair?"
 The dentist looked dubious ly at the giant, looked at the chair, but decided that if the chair could stand it, he could.
 Colonel Finch deposited himself, with considerable dif- ficulty, in the chair, but there just wasn't any place for his feet. So, a window was opened and the colonel reposed in the chair, one foot hanging over Exchange Place and the other lodged on a radiator against the window.
 The filling operation was over in a minute or two, and the cOlonel's toothache was all gone. Bending way down, he managed to get out the door and down to the street safely.
 In case Dr Riccardi doesn't know it, he's in for another problem tomorrow. I'll be an entirely different one, though, for Major Silver Wedding, who's so tiny you could step on him unless you're careful, has become jealous of the colonel, and told a reporter to-day that he's going to the dentist to- morrow to have one of his teeth filled.

GRANGE BEGINS , ITS CONCLUDING
 SESSION TO-DAY
Pledged to Take Profits Out of War - Distribute
 Tax Burdens Equitably

Hartford, Conn.,, Nov 22.-UP) The National Grange convention went into its concluding session to-day, pledged to program to take the profit out of war ana more equitably distribute the taz burden.
 An attempt to secure favorable action on a resolution calling for imposition of a sales tax, met with rejection at session late yester- day. A sales tax was opposed even as an emergency measure, and in it's stead, the convention adopted a proposal to replace the taxes or real estate with luxury, privilege and inheritance levies.
 Taxation should be in accord ance with the ability to pay and the service received, according to the committee on taxation, headed by c. H. Bramble, Michigan, which urged efficiency and economy in government.
 "No permanent, equitable and just taxation can be adopted until the issuance of tax exempt securi- ties is forbidden and taxes are levied on those tax-exempt securi- SASo uoW ASSUCuS SOALAhAtSSO AS port stated.
 Among the resolutions defeated were those calling for net income, inheritance, gift and corporation taxes to prevent excessive concen- tration of wealth and congress sional appropriation of $100,000.- 900 from income taxes to aid schools in financially embarrassed states.
 With regard the latetr resolu. tion the convention voted to re. affairm its stand on last year to ask congress to return to the states 25 per cent of income taxes for educational purposes.
 Favorable action was taken on resolutions approving adherance to the world court: senatorial in- vestigation of munitions industry; Conscription of wealth and indus try in time of war; government control of munitions and imposi- ton of an embargo on arms in event of war between two or more other nations.
 Others favored creation of a surplus milk control board and completion of a soil survey of na . tural resources, in cooperation with the separate states.
 To-day's session was devoted to disposing of remaining resolutions degree work and installation of the executive committee.

SHOE FITTING MACHINE AN
 INNOVATION
Now Possible To See Own
 Feet By X-Ray

What .s considered truly mir acle worker is the XxRay Shoe filter, a device which removes the uncertainties from shoe fit- ting and enables one to purchase shoes with the utmost confidence of getting perfect fit.
 The X-Ray shoe filter is really a simple device. It is an X-Ray machine specially adapted for the purpose of fitting shoes correctly.
 Until this machine was per- fected, the shoe merchant de- pended almost entirely on a ruler, a tape measure and a num- Der marked on shoe. There was no scientific way of knowing whether or not a shoe fitted prop erly. The foot. inside the shoe could not be seen-nor one knew whether the size and shape of the shoe allowed the bones of the foot to lie in their proper places yet fit snugly enough to provide support at the points where sup vore is seeded.
 Mothers in particular have been warned that improper fitting of their children's shoes might cause many foot troubles in the young sters' later lives. If the bones in the child's foot are crowded--if the toes are continually distorted by improperly fitted shoes, serious re- suits would follow.
 The person with shoes on, stands where his feet, subjected to the X-Ray, may be seen by himself, the operator and by third person if desired. The foot inside the shoe can be plainly, seen. The exact measurement of the foot is clearly apparent--the exact size of the shoe the person should wear. is plainly visible.
 This x-Ray shoe litter was recently installed in the Service Shoe Store, 175 Bank street. The management of this well-known concern states that there is ab- solutely no charge to anyone for za demonstration of the x-Ray machine. The public is invited to call and inspect 1t, and see whether or not the shoes they scar it properly. It is not nec- essary to make Q purchase in erder to get a demonstration. MT Arthur HertzmArk, proprietor ot *fS Service Shoe Store, is very &1ihusiastic about this woEderfu, new machine and says that he and q stan of experienced shoe s' '.a will gladly allow anyone
 ele use Of the x-Ray litter al
