Many people no doubt have read
the the advertisements appearing in
the papers of late offering from $1
to $15 for old false teeth and have
wondered why a person should want
to buy teeth that had then beer
worn out by years of use. At a
first glance a person inwardly shudiers
at the thought of another using
second-hand false teeth. But it is
aot the teeth the advertiser wants.
Years ago a considerable quantity of
platinum was used in making false
teeth and today platinum is one of
the most valuable of known commodities.
The platinum is extracted
froha the teeth and the teeth are
consigned to the junk pile. In times
past a set of false teeth cost anywhere
from $50 to $500. It was
the platinum used in making the
bridges that ran the cost of manuFactum

but in recent years a cheaper material
has been used and now it is
possible to get a fairly good set of
false teeth for a very small sum.
Small fortunes have been made in
recent months from the sale of platinum
extracted from old false teeth.

Patriotism and Flat Feet. j
Reasonable care must be taken,, s
of course, in the selecting of men ^
for the army, in order that the sol- ?
diers shall be fit for the hardships
of war; but there are instances of> (
rather ludicrous applications of gen- i
eral rules to particular cases in re- <
jecting applicants. In St Louis, for
example, a Strapping youth from j
Illinois was rejected because he had
flat feet, the unalterable presump- i
tion in the army regulations being
that the man who has flat feet will
fall in the march. Yet this same
youth had walked 6.c? miles to offer ?
his services to Uncle Sam. 1
This recalls a similar incident at a |
' recruiting station in Kansas City. (
Kan, when applicants were under
consideration for the Spanish-Amer- '
ican war. A husky young man pre- '
sented himself for service, but was 1
rejected after a rather superficial ,
' examination, much to his surprise. (
"What's the matter with me?" he !
: asked.
"You have flat feet," said the re-1'
; cruiting officer.
"What's that got to do with it?" !,
"You can't walk." 1 (
"The hell 1 can't. 1 can waiK
down any man you got."
"What's your business?"
"Track walker for the Santa Fe." '

America's Secret Service.
Says the Albany (Georgia) Herald,
commenting on recent achievements |
: of the United States secret service: j
"It blows no horns, and its work j
f '
' is done in the shadows, but it has i
| 1
been turning up intrigue and plot \
. and treason in a way that proves '
the high order of its efficiency. It ]
] dug up Germany's intrigue against' j
the United States in Mexico; it hasJ |
now caught Swedish diplomatists |
red handed in an intrigue with Ger- ]
man agents that unblushingly vio- j
|
lates neutrality." ,
The American secret service, j
| '
though one of the smallest in any |
nation, has always been accounted
among the ablest; it is doubtful indeed
if it has an equal, man for 1
man. Not a tithe of its important 1
, accomplishments since the beginning
| of the war are known outside of the
executive circle. Long before our i
actual break with Berlin, the secret <
service was uncovering all manner <
of German plots against this counI

lix months the work of netting the

has been pressed with redoubled

Recent dispatches from British
headquarters in France by the As
sociated Press, report that the British
battalions that captured Shrewsberry
forest and Bulbar wood, to
the east of the former place, in last
rhursday's drive, experienced a new
kind of German frightfulness. The
advancing troops are reported to
lave been fired on with "flaming
bullets." These bullets set the
lien's clothing afire and in several
nstances, according to the account,
wounded mer had to be rolled in
:he mud by their comrades to extinguish
the flames.
