Supreme Court Decides For Columbia Dentist. That painless extraction of teeth is not only possible, but is being prac ticed every day, is the opinion of the -supreme court in a decision handed down yesterday in which the court reverses Judge Townsend in the case of J. E Harris, dentist, vs the state board of examiners. The state board of dental exami ners revoked the license of Harris and refused to allow him to practice dentistry, alleging that he had violat ed the state laws in advertising that he could extrast teeth without pain and further claiming that he was un ethical. An appeal was made to Judge Townsend and he upheld the action of the state board of dental exami ners. Harris then appealed to the su preme court and this court yesterday reversed th? action of Judge Tow send and the dental board. Justice Cothran, who wrote the opinion, says that practically th? on ly issue in* the appeal was whether or not a dentist could extract teeth with out pain and whether or not an ad vertisement that he could so extract teeth without pain was a violation of the statutes. . Painless Extraction. "To profess to conduct a certain | branch of dentistry or a certain op eration in a branch of dentistry with out pain is not only within the inhi bition of the statute, but is suscepti ble to absolute demonstration as a fact," says Justice Qothran, who con tinuing says "It may not be a mat ter in which the court may take ju dicial cognizance, but it is a fact which a judicial utterance can not make otherwise that in the advance of the science the process of extract ing teeth is daily accomplished with out pain or consciousness of the fact. The fact that pain may follow the op eration does not at all negative the fact that the extraction was pain less."-The State. The Speech That We Speak. "Better speech week" has come and gone. Its objectais to arouse the nation of evils of slovenly speech careless enunciation, ungrammatical construction, mispronunciation, the use of slang, and poor choice of words. v As the Literary Digest states it, a great many of disappointed men and women can testify that inability to talk clearly and forcefully has been ) to them a severe social and business handicap. Mr. H. Addington Bruce, the well-known author, observes that "there are men today in inferior po sition who long ago would have com manded good salaries if they had only taken the trouble to overcome reme diable speech defects. Strange how careful people are about dress-how sure that dignity and good taste in' dress help to make one's success in getting on in the world-and at the same time how careless these same people are about speech, which is the dress of the mind." \ We are told that "Better Speech Week, serves one of two purposes. It may be an intensive campaign for f calling the attention of the communi ty to the need of speech improve ment, or it may have a definite place in a year's program for developing power in speaking." In any case it becomes a time for self-examination in speech and for pledges similar to the following, written by Grace Wil liamson Willet of the Chicago Wo men's Club: 'I love the United Stat?s of Amer ica. I love my country's flag, I love my country's language. I promise: 1. That I will not dishonor my country's speech by leaving off the last syllables of words; 2. ' That I will say a good Ameri can 'yes' and 'no,' instead of an In dian grunt 'unhum' and 'nupum' of a foreign 'ya' or 'yeh' and 'nope;' 3. That I will improve American speech by enunciating distinctly and by speaking pleasantly and sincerely; 4. That I will try to make my country's language beautiful for the many boys and girls of foreign na tions who come here to live; 4. That I will learn to articulate correctly one word a day for one year. "Better Speech Week" can accom plish permanent results only if it in spires its observers to all-year care in the matter of pure English; only if it causes everyone to keep the pow ers of the mind invariably in tone and training by being ever vigilant against the enemies of American spech. And this means more than to talk grammatically and to enunciate clearly. It requires the more dis criminating use of overworked words such as "nice," "splendid," "awful," "elegant," "fierce," etc., the elimination of worn-out expres sions like "bold as a lion," "the acid test," "the staff of life," "the arms of Morpheus." "Slang saves the trouble -and the glory-of thinking." These comments are from the Literary Di gest.-Augusta Chronicle. V Use X-Ray as Cure For Pul monary Consumption. Paris, Nov. 18.-rDr. Ivan Manouk hin, a young Russian physician, known for some years as the Pasteur Institute here, claims to have dis covered, by way of X-rays, the long sought cure, not only of pulmonary consumption but of tuberculosis gen erally and of other infectious diseas es whose elimination depends on the successful prosecution in the blood itself of the war against the invading microbe. ! Dr. Manoukhin set out his method and the results obtained by him in the fullest detail before the Society for the Study of Tuberculosis here, but his paper was in language so' technical that I asked him, when I found him with his friend, Dr. Donat, to give me the essential facts in few words easily understood by the.unin structed layman..This he kindly did. Gendarmerie of the Blood. "It is generally known," he told me, "that the work of the white cor puscles in the blood is to supply a sort of gendarmerie for the elimina- , tion of disease germs. Between them and the enemy an unceasing strug gle is going on, and health cannot be maintained or restored unless the white corpuscles have definitely the upper hand. ' The cure of infectious disease'depends therefore, on the re inforcement of the white corpuscles, and this again depends on the release into the blood of^ certain soluble fer ments which I call leucocytolysins. Years ago I was able to show that these ferments are produced by the spleen, and it is by increasing the ac tivity of the spleen by radiating the organ with small doses of the Roent gen rays that I claim to bring about the cure." Remarkable Record. The war called the doctor to Rus sia. In all, 8,171 cases were treated by these radiation of the spleen, and of these, he told me proudly, only sixty-eight, or a good, deal less than 1 per cent, died. Since he returned to Paris a few months ago Dr. Manoukhin has had twenty-two patients under treat ment. They have all been attendants at the clinic of Dr. Donat, who told me that all were of the poorer class. One is a postman, another a taxi driver, a third a baker, whose, cir cumstances do not allow them to give themselves such care as is possible with some patients. "I have nothing to do with the ac- * tual treatment," said Dr. Donat. "I recommend the cases simply, Dr. Ma noukhin aplpies the rays, and I ob serve the results. Of twenty-two cas es fourteen were in the secondary state, and after four months, or slightly less I believe I can say that these are cured. The other cases are more serious and will need continued applications of the rays, but you can say that all are much improved and going on well." Shall the Navy's Pride End "As a Tin Lizzie?" The latest proposition as to what shall be come of the battleships if the disarmament program is carried out, comes from Henry Ford, and he makes the proposition that he shall buy the world's discarded battleships and transform them into tractors, au tomobiles, and other -things that add to the joy and comfort of life. So if the Hughes proposition goes through the nations of the world are likely to receive an offer from the always en terprising Henry for their discarded ships. Mr. Ford says that large sums of money are spent in getting ores out of the ground when there are large quantities of high grade steel in war ships that can be cut up for com mercial uses by the acetylene torch and electricity and converted into im plements of peace. The Birmingham Age Herald in speaking of this subject^says: "Thus far Mr. Ford's proposal is practical. However, the world powers will hardly turn over their nayies to hin. entirely. The millennium is still distant and the edifying spectacle of the Detriot manufacturer buying the navies of America, Great Britain and Japan outright will never be wit nessed. Something of the sort may come to pass in the dim and distant future, but not now or a hundred years from now. Nevertheless, here is Mr. Ford ready to take over any amount of excess tonnage, speed up jndustry, give employment to thousands of men who may suffer if the naval reduc tion plans are carried out, and make countless tractors and flivvers grow where there were only useless battle ships before."-Augusta Chronicle. ?W: jenever You Need a General Tonic Take Grove's The Old Standard Grove's Tastelesa chill Tonic is equally valuable as a General Tonic because it contains the well known tonic properties of QUININE and IRON.

Are Parents Should Encourage Young Woman to Establish Herself as Semi-independent Member of the Farm Family. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) When a city girl feels the need of money-her own money, to pay for the things girls Imagine they must have these days-she goes to work in an of fice, a store, or a factory, according to her education and opportunity. In the country a girl, with much fhe same longings for nice things and "good times," looks to the poultry yard, ti e milk house, or the garden for he?;: spending money. If her parents are the right kind, if they are Intelligent Preparing Vegetables for City Market. enough to help her and encourage her in her work, she will soon establish herself as a semi-independent mem ber of the family. If, as often hap pens, the parents are not disposed^to have such goings-on, and there is no home-demonstration agent, no girls' club, no extension work of any kind In the community, the country girl goes to the city and the farming/ re gions have lost one more potential home and family. No doubt exists in the minds of men and women of large experience In the extension work carried on by the United States Department of Agricul ture In co-operation with state agri cultural colleges that the economic ap peal is the entering influence needed In getting their clubs or bureaus start ed in rural regions. Once the young people have learned a way to earn money the desire for the things It will buy asserts Itself, and home better ments and Improved living conditions follow naturally. Down In Arkansas a girls' canning club started a contest ' to determine which of the members could produce the most tomatoes at the least ex pense, and with the lowest percentage of waste. Annet Sargo, on the Mount Valley route, near Hot Springs, grew 3,140 pounds of tomatoes on ond tenth of an acre, at a cost of $81.40 and net returns of $109. With the same expense her sister, Fannie, grew 3,020 pounds and had a net return of $107.80. Ada Rosamond grew 2,803 pounds, costing $27.42, with a net re turn of $76.66, and Ruby Waddell, at Bonnervllle, had 3,070 pounds, cost ing $29.91, with uer returns of $68.
