'REDICTS A TOOTHLESS AGE
iritish Doctor Gives Out Opinion
That Soft Foods Are Working
Havoc With the Race.
What our dentists have from time to
Ime been saying has been at last takn
up by a London doctor, namely,
bat our teeth are less solidly set in
be jaws than they should be for tho
eason that civilization encourages us
d eat soft foods. "Biting is becoming
lost art," says this British doctor.
The surest way to save your teeth
rom extinction is to bite hard subtances.
Growing young people of toay
should be given a diet of hard bisuits
and chop bones." He points out
hat the jaws of today are narrower
ban those of our ancestors?ana tnis
pplles to America as well as to Britin?and
that unless some changes are
jade In our mode of life evolution will
reed a race that will be practically
oothless. He gives as the reason for
be narrowing of the Jaws and that
bey are less powerful that they are
ot sufficiently exercised; tlMt we do
ot use our teeth to crunch hard foods
s did the early Britishers. He notes
bat wisdom teeth, owing to the genral
narrowness of the jaws, are cut
t all manner of times, and tells of a
lan of fifty-two who had just cut a
risdom tooth owing to the removal of
ther molars which at last allowed it
5 show itself above the gum.

PUT BEST FOOT FORWARD
No Better Advice Can Be Given Than
to Present a Brave Front to
the Worid.
If every pair for whom wedding
belle are to ring this June would
take to heart the thought that their
private affaire are their own, not to
be told to outsiders and not paraded
to the world, they would Insure and
safeguard their self-respect and the
permanence of their home.
The temptation may arise when
first there Is a little friction to seek
sympathy from mother, sister, or intimate
friend.
That temptation should be trampled
under foot.
Confidential friends are not invar
riably to be trusted. With or without
the best intentions the third party
Intruding In the affairs of a married
couple is In peril of making mischief.
Make It a rule to -confide wholly
without secrets or reserves In one another
from the hour that you become
husband and wife, and you will have
little to fear, though the four winds
should blow around your house. It
will stand against any tempest and

prove luseii. inruug uuu uunuweu, your
sanctuary awl your castle, If you confide
in and defend your union. Never
let a quarrel last over night. Present
a brave front to the world. There Is
common sense In the homely advice
to put the best foot forward.
GREAT NEED FOR LOVELINESS
Commercialism ThreatenP to Destroy
Much That la Beautiful In
the World.
In our terrible haste to p^ke a living
nowadays we are apt to forget
that it la even more important to keep
life worth living. The desire for
Wealth and for comfort; the forgetfulhess
of beauty and art, Which began
as symptoms of & purely American
disease, are spreading rapidly over
the world.
Ruskin and Matthew Arnold only a
Century ago expressed feari that
America would vulgarise the world.
Whether we have done it or not, at
any rate it is to a great extent accomplished.

There could be no finer work in the
world today for women than to band
themselves together Into a league for
the preservation of loveliness. For
you may take It as fact: all that is
noblest and best In the human spirit,
all that Is gentlest and strongest and
bravest, feeds upon loveliness.
How the Koreans Talk.
A Korean convert committed to
memory the Gospel of Matthew.
When he was asked how he did it he
FAnllori- "T hod rrent dlfflmiHv In
making the text stick, but one day I
decided that as I read It and tried
to commit It by memory I should practice
it verse by verse upon my neighbors,
and I found that aa I practiced
it somehow stuck."
When a Korean wishes to know
whether he should take his medicine
before or after meals he says, "Shall
I put this medicine under my rice or
on top of it?" A Korean Sabbath
school secretary in his report Instead
of giving the average attendance gave
the average absences. Such Is an Illustration
of the difference between
the Korean way of thinking and
Bpeaking and ours.?Christian Intelligencer.
Had No Right to Dodge.
A witness in a civil damage suit
over the breaking of a plate glass window
in a German town testified that
as he was passing down the street he
saw a stone come whirling through
the air and had just time to dodge it
to avoid being hit The witness was
questioned as to whether the stone
that broke the window would have
struck him had he not dodged it, and
the magistrate held: "inasmuch as if
the witness had not unfortunately
ducked his head the glass would not
have been struck bv the stone he is
hereby adjudged responsible for the
> breaking of the window and is ordered
to pay to the owner the value of the
same."
Youthful Courtesyi
Prof. William Howard Taft of Yale
had a practical Illustration of personal
popularity a few days ago. He
was a passenger on a trolley car on
his way to the golf llnis. It was
not a "pay-as-you-enter" car, and
when the conductor came within his
reach the ex-presldent-professor offered
his fare, which was rejected
with the remark: "That's all right;
a lad on the platform paid for you,
Mr. President." For a moment Mr.
Taft looked puzsled, but then he
[ smiled broadly and evidently appreciated
the courtesy.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE TATLER
Remark? Wise and Otherwise That
Nave a Bearing on Ufa as a
Generality.
Lovers may be divided Into two
classes, amateurs and professionals;
and loving is one of the few things
the amateurs do better than the professionals.
A woman will sometimes forgive a
man for stealing a kiss from her, but
she will never forgive him if he
falls to return one she has given him
of her own free wllL
A woman who takes the downward
path gets more attention than her
sister because there are so manyi
more men going her way.
Some men fall for want of a woman
and others through wants of a
woman.
We believe almost anyone who tells
us that we're right, but no one
but ourselves can convince us that
we are wrong.
Some girls make themselves out to
be greater fools than they are by pretending
to have refused chances
they've never had.
Human beings love warning other
people, and other people love Ignoring
warnings and being human beings.
The good are seldom as good as
they think themselves, and the bad
are never aa naa as tne gooa uiiu&
them.
Some men borrow a flver, and behave
forever after as If the only thing
they owe you la a grudge.

WOMAN IN POLICE SERVICE
Country la Slowly Realizing How Valuable
She Is In That Kind of
Woffc.
One of the surprises of evolution has
been the discovery that women have
an appointed work waiting for them
in the police service. The smashing
aerision that used to find a special
point of application in the Idea of "the
woman policeman" is yielding, ginger,
ly but rarely, to the realization that
the country needs women as police
rather more than the women need to
be police officials. The realization
seems to be a part of the general realization
of the human Interest mixed
up in the crlm' *l's case, the realization
that you n't finish with that
case by. merel#_ preh ending the^djnlnal
and affixm^the thumb- serBSs??
and the further realization that the
case may be one of many
sides and one of two sexes. A
desire to reach the case having
followed upon the realization, it
was perhaps inevitable that women
should be available instruments of salvation.
In Los Angeles, the "woman
policeman" has been installed in response
to a distinct need in the handling
of woman and girl criminals. In
Maryland, she has been applied to for
official help to enforce the curfew law
in an effective manner. In Chicago
as matrons women have long been asslating
in the problem of handling the
criminal. Very recently these matrons
have been placed in the rank
of patrolmen, and their salaries have
been increased from $1,000 to $1,400
a year.

NOT IN THE LEAST ALARMED
Colored Girl, Unused to Railroad

ly the Regulir Mode.
A writer relates the following Incident:
A few years after the war he
had occasion to visit Richmond with
his family, and, living at the time in
the county of Patrick, 50 miles from
any railroad station, very few of the
darkies in that county hall ever seea
a railroad train. A nurse was a necessary
part of the family equipage
and he had secured the services of a
coal-black specimen about fifteen
years of age, who was as quick-witted
as usual, but was as.veritable a Topsy
as ever "growed."
The party took the train at the
nearest station and after a few hours'
run a broken rail threw the train oft
the track. Some of the cars made a
revolution down an embankment and
some were lodged on its incline at an
angle of 45 degrees. Great consterna*tlon,
of course, ensued. The men.
were shouting and the women and

Finding no bones broken
with the wife or little one, the writer,,
who was surprised at the placid, undisturbed
appearance of the nurse,,

Traveler's Measured
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was talking,
on his trip home Crom Panama, about
tips on ocean liners.
"There is a fixed unit of tipping,
$2.50?or, at least, there used to be,"
he said, "before everything went up;
nnd mnot travelers eo above rather
than below the unit.
"Travelers, as a class, are generous.,
and at any rate I have no patience*
with the stewards and waiters who
complain.
"A steward on an ocean liner onco
said to me at'the end of a voyage: .
" 'Mr. Blanc ain't worth much?I cam.

" 'How can you tell?* said L

SMALL VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE.
According to Legal Decisions FewMen
Need Have High Opinion of
Themselves.
That "human life is cheap" would'
appear from a study undertaken by;
a well known lawyer of the legal decisions
handed down in this country
with reference to the "eash value" of '
a man.
It is estimated that at ten years,
of age a boy of the laboring class
Is worth $2,061,42; at fifteen, $4,263.46;
-* a.,a tR ACS (W fmm which

time the decline it steady, a man of
seventy, by this legal decision scale,
rating at only $17.13! By the same practical
method of computation one eye
Is worth $5,000; one leg, $15,000; two
legs, $25,000; one arm. $10,000; one
hand, $6,000; one finger, $1,500, and ?
permanent disability, $25,000. This, It h
is pointed out, Is merely an average at I!
far as decisions have been examined. '
It should be added that the estimates
of the value of a man's life
are based upon an Idea not of hit
value to himself, but of his value to
the community. The figures in in
dividual cases would vary greatly
with reference to the fact whether or
not the person's death caused hard- ship
to others who were dependent upon
him, t
The value of a man to himself ls?
It 1b further pointed out, unimportant
after he It dead?from a legal point
of view. His value to society at large
cannot- be considered In a cash estimate,
since that kind of value depends
upon other than physical resources.
His value to those who look,
to him for support can alone be estimated,
on, the. material aide.
