UNCLE WIGGILYs TOoTHACHE

Though Uncle Wiggily was rath-
er an old rabbit gentleman, he had
very coed teeth. That was be-
cause, when he was a rabbit boy,
| he would brush and clean his teeth
every day. Rabbits need to have
good. strong teeth for they must
gnaW roots and bark, which would
| be the same as if you tried to eat
lead pencils, though I hope you
don't.
once I heard a little girl say Il
don't need to clean my teeth. They
are only my first ones. When I
get my second teeth, III brush them
every day.
She didn't know that the more
care one takes Of the first teeth
the better ones second teeth will
be- But Uncle Wiggily knew all
about teeth SO he was very careful
to brush his every day.
But with all this, sometimes IN
Gle Wiggilys teeth would have lit
| tie holes in them. So he had to go
i to DR.. Bear, the dentist who not
only pulled out all teeth that were
! of no more use, but filled the holes
! in such teeth as could still be usde
. to gnaw roots and bark. DR.. Bear,
! the dentist, didn't hurt Uncle Wig
gily, even when he had to pull one
! of the old rabbit gentlemans teeth
or fill up a hole in a tooth that
didn't need pulling.
Once, on a Saturday afternoon,
all of a sudden Uncle Wiggily felt
one of his teeth aching. There was
sharp jumping pain in the tooth.
L had better go see DR.. Bear, .
said the rabbit gentleman.
Dentist Out
But when he called DR.. Bear on
the telephone the dentist was out
! playing golf and couldn't 90 to his
office to stop Uncle Wiggilys tooth
ache.
Dear me! What am I to do?'

The definite purpose Of the lnyestlga-

to cooperate in the study and make their

include the two bucks, or the two bits he
may have won, the government Is gong
to get its share, plus interest and pen
alties.
The American people have always been
opposed to 'snooping.' 1t was this phase
of prohibition which made it so repre-
hensible even to those who thoroughly
opposed the liquor traffic. Shopping
and spying are bad enough in individuals,
but when the government adopts these
methods for obtaining information it act
ually endorses a violation of a funda-
mental American doctrine-"Mind your
own business.
Perhaps that doctrine is old-fashion-

explained. "It bobhed into my
mind that q symphony on several

Accordingly, Mr.. Shure said, he
journeyed to a number Of these

themes.
Charmed by the great wine

composer chose Dupont Circle
