THE TOOTH BRUSH ASSAILED
The first certificate of gentle birth, the essential pass
word into the company of "possible" persons, the badge of
promotion from the plane of animaldom, is the tooth brush,
with its use one may be a lady or a gentleman if he behave
himself, but without it, not even the addition of all the
world's goods and graces can gainone recognition in the
circles ofthe elect.
And yet this foundation stone of social orthodoxy is at
tacked and its very right to existence challenged. Dr. John
L. Kelly, a New York dentist, is the heretic who has pro
mulgated a catalogue of crimes charked against the tooth
brush. He says it is not only the direct cause of thousands
of deaths annually through heart disease, but is in addition
a purveyor of rheumatism, gastric ulcers, kidney disease and
other ailments.
It doesn't even clean the teeth, the very excuse for its
existence, according to Dr. Kelly. In fact, he claims that it
punctures the gums and deliberately injects bacteria into
them. To him the civilized man's devotion to his tooth
brush is only equalled by the distortion of the feet of Chinese
women as a barbaric practice.
So far as known, the redoubtable Dr. Kelly stands
alone. He admits that the brothers of his profession do not
approve his attacks, but he says that he is getting support
from eminent forces outside of the dental schools. "How
soon this badge of hygienic respectability is to become taboo
in polite society he does not predict, nor does he offer to tell
us what he is going to give us in its stead, if indeed there
can be a substitute.
A CHANCE FOR TEXTILES
The wool fabric industry is in a rather decsript condi
tion, although it has a busy year ahead of it. Whether the
outlook means lower clothing prices or higher remains a
deep, dark mystery.
According tc a leading English wool journal the ma
chinery of the industry is wholly inadequate to produce the
cloth needed to clothe theworld. Nearly one-third of the
world's textile machinery is out of commission "for one rea
son or another. All the. machinery in the United States is
operating, but in Uermany it is practically idle, while a
large proportion of that in the other continental 'countries
is also quiet at present.
In this country, where all the machinery is in working
condition ana in regular use, workers are demanding short
er hours of labor, and thereby reducing the tctal output and
slowing down the manufacture of wanted goods. At the
same time there is a world-wide demand for the new, rich
fabrics. These handsome materials are much more slowly
produced than the staple varieties, and their manufacture
does its part to slow up the whole production process.
Women are particularly at fault in creating the ab
normal demand for extra fine fabrics. Their softness and
beauty do not mean longer service. They are rarely so dur-

Any serious thrift campaign should have as part of Its pro

chance to catch up with itself.

Native Poetry j
THE PASSING
By liuy Fitch Phelps
Some drops of rain upon the fallen
leaves, .
Some shadow leangthened on the with
ered grass;
An icy breath which moves a naked
tree.
And some strange spirits whimpering
as they pass.
A twilight bird that faintly sings re
mote, As when a widowed thing in anguish
grieves;
A pulse of life all faintly quivering
From out the broken and exhausted
heart,
Like far off songs which mournful
singers sing,
A dying spell which lingering yet will
cling, I
Like withered vines along a crumbl
ing wall, !
A half heard voice which seems to
softly call.
And culling pass, each haunting tone
until
The tide goes out to turn again no
more,
A drench of waters on a lonely shore.

THE REMEDY
By T. E. Haurigan, Eugene, Ore
The cost of livin's risin' high.
It's bumpin' up again the sky,
But I'm not worryin', no, not I.
I've got my garden spaded;
My radishes are in the ground.
My turnip seed is scattered round
And lettuce planted by the pound.
I ve done It all unaided.
What matters now how prices soar,
Aur surly neighbors rant and roar.
And peddlers tramp from door to door
To sell their peas and spinach?
1 II garner greens from moor and fell,
I'll husk my beans and pumpkins shell,
I'll hoe my spuds and I'll live well
On cauleflower and cabbage.
What matters how expenses crawl.
What matters now how wages fall,
What matters how the teachers bawl
For Rutherford's down coming;
I'll eat my lettuce and my spuds.
I'll drown my foes in onion floods.
And save my bones to buy some duds,
To put me in the running.
Tis simple when you know the how
To knock these farmers with their
plow.
And fill your cellar and your mow.
With carrots, beets, and cresses;
And you'll have left a roll of blls,
A cure fbr various human ills.
An antidote for chilly thrills.
And kale for Susie's dresses.
