Five years ago he took an assignment to drive 3,000 reindeer across the Creat Arctic circle. Bahr, although not a young man, took this great task at the instance of the king of Kngland, through a commercial trading company, who believed it a good idea to provide meat for the Mackenzie district of Canada, where there was a scarcity of food. In 1029 a herd of 3,000 reindeer was turned over to this herder and for five years he has plodded 1,200 miles across the Arctic circle and has-at last reached hla goal. Camping for months waiting for a river to freeze over, weathering Arctic bliz zards. camping for the breeding season and a thousand other obstacles have befronted this great hero, but he has delivered, not only his original herd, but an increase for the (he years of over 10 per cent and incidentally there were two children born on the stormy passage, and are husky Individuals. The Andrew Bahr feat will go down in history as one of ^he greatest feats of man. I was transported on its gauzy wings Far from the sordid tasks of every day.

But Danny would have been still more worried had he known of a certain Big Pickerel, which you know 1^ a kind of fish, who was making his home In the Smiling Pool. Now the Big Pickerel lived very largely on the minnows and other lit tle fish of the Smiling Pool, but he was Just as Danny, Scrambled Out On the Bank, Those Great Jaws Closed With a Wicked Snap. always ready for anything else that might be good to eat. He bad been some distance away from where Danny dived Into the water, but lie had heard the splash Danny made. It was dif ferent from the splashes made by the young frogs, and the P.ig Pickerel knew the difference. He would have been very glad to get one of the young frogs. In fact, he could have told what had become of a good many young frogs whic^h had disappeared very mysteri ously. But he had paid no attention to the splashes of the young frogs when they hail dived into the water at the warning of Redwlg the Blackbird. You see, he knew all about frogs, and he knew that they had dived right down to the bottom and hidden In the mud. ^~But this other splash Interested him, and he began to move along in the di rection of It , Now If he had hurried in the first place, this story might have had a very different ending. But the Big Pickerel had had u good breakfast, and he was only mildly interested So be swam rather slowly. Danny Meadow Mouse was almost across the Smiling Pool before .the Big Pickerel saw him. When the Big Pickerel did see him he quite forgot that he had had a good breakfast. It was seldom that he had the chance to dine on a fat meadow mouse, and he could think of nothing In the world that would taste better. If he had moved slowly before, now he shot forward like an arrow. Grand father Frog saw him and tried to^warn Danny, but Danny was already swim ming as fast as he could, and all the warnings In the world couldn’t have made him swim any faster. The Big Pickerel’s great Jaws, each of which had ever and ever so many sharp teeth, were actually opening to seize Danny, just as Danny’s feet touched bottom, .lust as Danny scrambled out on the hairkr-those great jaws closed wlth a wicked snap, almost on the end of Dan ny’s funny, short tail. There was a great splash, for the Big Pickerel had rushed so that he had al most stranded himself in the shallow water. For a minute Grandfather Frog couldn't see what had happened. Then he saw the Big Pickerel dart hack Into deep water, and with a sigh of relief saw Danny Meadow Mouse pop into one of the holes In the bank of the Smiling Pool. ©, T. W. Burgess.—WNU Servlcs. Ears of Corn on Stalk The number of ears of corn may be anywhere from one to one-half dozen or more on the same plant, while the number of kernels to the ear may vary between 500 and 1,000 or more. The golden bantam types of sweet corn, for example, have smaller ears with fewer kernels than most other types and 500 would be an average for this type. . * MOTHER’S * COOK BOOK AU GRATIN DISHES A U GRATIN signifies, In French, a dish baked frith a coating of bread crumbs.

The dentist’s education consists of a four-year course of 32 weeks and 6 days In each week. The dental stu dent must study the same fundamental subjects as the physician, such as an atomy, physiology, pathology, mateiia- raedica, bacteriology, histology, chem istry, etc. Besides he must study many special dental subjects. After he graduates, If he expects to keep up with the rapid advances of his profession, he must kaep on study ing and taking special courses as long as he lives, for no Individual can pos sibly master the dental art In the schools alone. This Is equally true of medicine. The dentist must have patients as well as patience. Few people go; to him until they have to. consequent ly they expect to be hurt and are In anything but a cheerful frame of mind. The dentist must do all the smiling for both himself and patient. His efforts are seldom appreciated and he Is often regarded as a disagree- ahte necessity. — All this Is about to change. The day has passed when the dentist will be looked upon as a mere tooth carpenter. The public Is beginning to learn the re lation between teeth and health, and th.e dentist has already learned that his work has a far-reaching effect, not only upon the health, but upon the very life of his patient, ' . The day Is coming when the public will begin to realize that to be well, they must have sound healthy teeth In clean healthy mouths. They will then associate the dentist with life and hope and health and youth, in stead of pain. When dentistry has accomplished Its wonderful stage of present day evolution, the dentist will no longer be avoided as long as possible. He will be sought as one who brings health and comfort and freedom from sin. People will go to him, not be- ause they have toothache, but In or der that they may not have tooth- , _ache. Dentistry will be looked upon as a pain and disease preventive and will be welcomed as among the most useful and popnlar professions. • • • r lea /de Tying her luxurious scarf of Russian sables, this young lady is almost a re plica of pre-wpr style.

Even in this early period we have evidence that some methods were in vogue for the prevention of dental disease. For Instance, the Ebers papyri, probably epmpiled gradually | from 3000 B. C. to 1500 B. C., contain the following prescription for strength ening the teeth: “Powder of flint stone one part, green lead one part, honey one part—to.be rubbed on the teeth." t Skulls from the tombs of the Egyp tians have gold bands and fillings in the teeth, and also show the ravages of pyorrhea. In Chinese history there are many referfences made In regard to the care of the teeth and attempts to prevent their decay. Relics of the ancient times show that the Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, all had a system of dentistry, however crude It may have been. In 1839, the first college of dentistry was established In the United States at Baltimore, and American dentistry has led th£ world since that time. The progress of dentistry has been so rapid that today It is being recognized as second to no other science dn its importance to good health and human welfare. This is Its modern development—far beyond that dreamed of in Egypt or Greece. The new theory is simple. The mouth, It says, is something over which there Is sanitary control. It should be watched Instead of being neglected. In the mouth are the teeth and the teeth have a direct relation to the general health. That prevention of decay of the teeth and disease of the gums Is pos sible to a great extent Is the modern watchword of dental science. It la much better to prevent dental troubles than to have them to cure. The same measure which are nec essary to prevent dental troubles will also prevent other troubles that affect the . human system. The motath la the gateway through which'everything much pass that en ters the body. On good, sound teeth and a clean healthy mouth depend mastication, digestion, nutrition, health, happiness and long dlfe. Oral hygiene Is the latest offering of dental science to the world. It Is the science of taking proper care of the teeth and mouth to promote good health. Simple month cleanliness will pre vent and cure disease and prolong life. •, WwUftt Nvwspapar Unioa.'
