How To
Develop
Good Teeth
YOUR teeth need
exercise daily. By
masticating the hard
and rougher sort of
food they can best be
kept In condition. Hard crusts
and other coarse and fibrous
foods which require thorough
chewing before they can be
swallowed, are especially
good, not only for chtldren
but for adulti alto. 1 1 helps to
produce a good circulation of
blood and in children develops
the muscles and expands the
Jaws, so thatroom is provided
for the incoming larger teeth.
Children should be allowed to
eat onlu at regular hours. A
child should be taught to chew
his food very thoroughly.
Proper training and care of
the teeth in childhood estab
lish habits they will appreciate
in after years. A few minutes
longer with the tooth-brush
each morning and night a
visit to a good dentist at in
tervals will save lots of un
neeenarypaln and avoid poor
health which will surely follow
neglect of the mouth and
teeth.

Into old Basra city by the Zobeir gate
In the south wall, Eleanor F. Egan
writes In the Saturday Evening Post.
There was no dust out there; only
hard-packed sand, out of which the
fierce hammering sun struck a myriad
glinting, eye-searing sparks. But 11
was beautiful beyond words to de
scribe. We spun along at fifty miles
an hour with a cool, clean breeze In
our faces Then just over a slight rise
in the sparkling plain I saw my first
mirage. It was impossible to believe
it was a mirage and not really the
beautiful lake that it seemed a lake
dotted with wooded Islands and
fringed In places with deep green for
ests. I have seen mirages in other deserts
In other lands, but I have never seen
anything like the Mesopotamlan mi
rage. We drove straight on and It
came so close that I was sure I could
see a ripple on Its surface. Then sud
denly It went away off, and where It
had been our skldproof tires were hum
ming on the hard-packed sand and I
sow that the wooded Islands had been
created out of nothing but patches of
camel thorn and that the trees of the
forests were tufts of dry grass not
more than six inches high.
Off on the far horizon a camel car
avan was swinging slowly along and
the camels looked like some mammoth
prehistoric beasts, while In another
direction what we took to be camels
turned out to be a string of diminutive
donkeys under pack saddles laden with
bales of the desert grass roots that the
Arabs use for fuel.
The mirage has played an interest
ing part in the Mesopotamlan cam
paigns. In some places It Is practi
cally continuous the year round, and it
adds greatly to the difficulties of an
army in action. It is seldom mistaken
for anything but what it Is, of course,
but It does curious things to distance
and to objects both animate and Inani
mate. Incidentally It renders the ac
curate adjustment of gun ranges al
most altogether impossible.
One of the most curious Incidents of
the whole war happened In connection
with a mirage and on the very spot
over which I drove that first day out
In the desert.
The battle of Shalba was one of the
hardest-fought battles In the whole
Mespot campaign and victory for a
while was anybody's. It was going
very badly for the British, their losses
being heavier than they could stand
for long. And though the Turks were
in overwhelmingly superior numbers
it was going very badly for them as
well. This the British officer com
manding did not realize and he was
just on the pqlnt of giving an order for
retirement which would have been
fatal to the British in Mesopotamia
when to his astonishment he discov
ered that the Turks were In full re
treat! What a moment !
The desert was full of mirage and'
the Turkish commander who really
ought to have been more familiar with
local phenomena -r- saw approaching
,from the southeast what looked to him
like heavy re-enforcements. It was
nothing but a supply and ambulance
train magnified and multiplied by the
deceptive desert atmosphere! When
he ordered an Immediate retreat his
already unnerved troops stampeded
and his demoralized rear guard was
hounded and harassed by great bands
of nomad Arabs all the way to Kha
mlsseyeh, nearly ninety miles away.

At Auburn, County Athlone, Ire

TRACTOR GAINING IN
POPULARITY IN WEST
Machine Reported Profitable by
Owners in Corn Belt.
Principal Advantage Reported Is Abil
ity to Do Heavy Work Quickly
Saving of Man Power Also
of Importance.
(Prepared by th United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Evidence of the growing popularity
of tractors on corn-belt farms Is
shown by reports made by more than
00 tractor owners, nine out of every
ten reporting that their Investment
In a tractor had proved profitable.
These data were obtained In the sum
mer and fall of 1917, and In the spring
of 1918 on representative Illinois farms
by specialists of the United States de
partment of agriculture, in order to
determine just what conditions Justi
fied the purchase of a tractor In that
section. Experienced tractor owners
who made reports stated that tractors
will prove profitable on most cormbelt
farms of 180 acres or more, while in
their opinion they should not be ex
pected to do so on farms of much less
than 180 acres. The report of the In
vestigators, published as Farmers'
Bulletin 903, states that while the fig
ures were obtained in only, one state,
they are applicable throughout the corn
belt and that the prospective tractor
purchaser may reasonably count upon
equaling the average performances re
ported In the study.
Nearly three-fourths (71 per cent)
of those who reported owned tract
ors capable of pulling three plows.
Eleven per cent recommended two-

plow machines, while 13 per cent ad
vocated the use of four plows. In an
swer to the question "What do you
find to be the principal advantages of
a tractor for farm work?" the answer
Indicates that its ability to do heavy
work and do It quickly, thus cover
ing the desired acreage within the
proper season, was considered the
principal advantage. The saving of
man power and the doing nway with
hired help, enabling a man to farm
a larger acreage and thus Increase
the crops he can raise, was next In
Importance. The ability to plow to a
good depth, especially In hot weather,
was also emphasized.
Under disadvantages the difficulty of
efficient operation was the principal
point, and this fact should be kept in
mind by everyone who considers the
purchase of a tractor, says the bul
letin. In tills connection It suggests
that tractor owners take a course of
training under competent Instructors
in tills line, ns. the results of such a
course usually amply justify the time
and expense Involved. Packing of
the ground when damp was mentioned
by several owners as a disadvantage,
but not as frequently as was the case
when more of the older and heavier
machines were In use. The expense
delays, and Inability to use the tractor
for some kinds of work for which
horses could be used were disadvan
tages mentioned by several owners,

ISLAND OF GUAM IS LOYAL
Voluntary Universal Training Has
Helped Immensely in Ameri
canization. How far the people of the Pacific
Island of Guam have progressed In the
process of Americanization Is Indicat
ed In the current Issue of the Guam
News Letter, copies of which have re
cently reached Seattle. .The . Island,
which Is our cable outpost for the
Philippine islands and the Orient, is
governed by Capt. Hoy C. Smith of the
American navy, under the oversight
of the navy department. Captnin
Smith seems to be developing a very
ardent band of Americanism among
the island people, who are known as
Chamorros and have a strong admix
ture of Spanish blood.
The News Letter describes the cele
bration of Washington's birthday In
Guam, to which the people flocked
from all parts of the Island, coming"
by luunch, owing to the absence of
any Island highway system. The pro
ceeds of the various enterprises,
amounting to $1,370.55, were donated
to the Red Orosu, and we gather that
the program of amusement was purely
American. For Instance, the "hot dog"
stand realized $108.94; Butler's soda,
$158.50; knock the cat down, $112.07;
the moving picture show, $75.90; the
Jitney dance, $45.69 ; wheel of fortune,
$350.10 ; lemonade stand, $772.93 ; base
ball game, $16.40. From all sources
the Red Cross received $1,500, and
subscriptions were given for $50,000
In Liberty bonds.
. eMore than this, the Island militia
had Its first parade. Some time ago
Governor Smith put Into effect a uni
versal military training law at the re
quest of the people, this being the
first portion of American territory in
which such a law has been, made ef
fective. There are 1,000 militiamen,
the government supplying guns and
ammunition and the regular khaki uni
form of the United States army. Seven
per cent of 'Guam's population Is In
the militia, at which rate, If we of the
mainland kept up with the Chumorros,
we should have an army of 7,000,000.
The flags and floats of the parade In
duced a tremendous enthusiasm In the
populace.
Officer Once Stable Boy.
We have ceased to be surprised at
the amazing social upheaval brought
about by the war, but the shock which
a gentleman received recently at a very
exclusive club of which he Is a mem
ber can be easily understood. On the
staircase he was hulled by a resplend
ent young officer of the guards attired
In one of those gray coats whose color
and cut are the envy of all "subs."
Not recognizing the young officer, there
was a pause, whereupon the soldier
said : "I'm afraid you've forgotten me.
My name Is ." The gentleman
still failed to Identify the officer. "I'm
of Newark," added the guards
man. Whereupon the astounded gen
tleman recognized the grownup boy
who five years ago had saddled his
horse at a hunting box he visited.
The stable hand had enlisted In the
ranks, won a commission In the field,
and finally been transferred to a guard
regiment, and carried himself as If
to the manner born. London Mall.
Polish Army In France.
The flag of Poland was lifted on the
battle line when the Polish legion, 15,
000 strong, ' recruited mostly In the
United States, took its pluce among
the allies in France. It is only a little
army that the ancient emblem of a
free Poland Is flying over now, but
every Polish volunteer In Frunce und
every patriotic Pole In the United
States and scuttered elsewhere
throughout the world, Is confident that
ultimately the flag will wave over a
free and strong and reunited Folund,
and every Pole understands that It Is
only through a triumph of the allies
In this war for Justice und right und

Poland can be brought about. Spring

SELECTED SOLDIERS ARE
TO BE GIVEN FREE ADVICE
Uncle Sam wants his selective ser
vice men who are called to the colors
hereafter to reach the training camps
mentally and morally fit in every
way,, and with at least an elementary
knowledge of military drill.
The condition in which a man
reaches camp makes a surprising
difference in his usefulness as a sol
dier. Actual experience has demon
strated that men who come to camp
clean, sober, willing and determined
to do their part, will be ready to
leave for the battle field at least a
whole month, and often more, earli
er than others not so fit.
This having been demonstrated,
Uncle Sam has undertaken a plan to
educate all selective service men so
they will be better soldiers and bet
ter men when it comes their time
to be called to the colors.
With this in view, the local draft
board has just been notified, through
a leaflet from the Provost Marshal
General at Washington, of a method
for bringing personal instruction to
each man by means of a local board
of instruction, to be appointed by the
draft board.
These boards of instruction are to
be composed of thoroughly patriotic
and capable citizens of each com
munity. It is intended that they
shall do more than instruct. For in
stance, the members of the instruc
tion boards ,will endeavor to ascer
tain and clear up all the perplexities
that may beset the registrant, and
to be of practical assistance to him
in every way.
The first meeting of registrants
for instruction, the leaflet suggests,
might well be at the time of the '
medical examination. The regis
trants may be assembled in small
groups for personal interviews, it is
suggested, and encouraging sugges
tions made to them as to the person-
al value of military training and of
outdoor life, the chances for promo
tion, the aid and friendly support of
the Red Cross, , the .Army Knights
of Columbus,, the Y. M. C' A., the
Hebrew Welfare Board, and the Com-
mission on Training Camp activities.
It Is also planned to conduct pre
liminary military drill to familiarize
the men with its first principles. It
has been found that this work actual- '
ly places the men a month or so
ahead in capacity to become efficient
soldiers, and of course the well drill
ed man has a much better opportun
ity of obtaining quick promotion than
the man who has to begin at the be
ginning and learn everything after
he enters the service.
The government is encouraging
draft registrants wherever possible
to enter local militia reserve organi
zations in their communities for
drill.
