"OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans
THE AMERICAN' DENTIST
The records are silent on this
point but it would seam possible
i La.' Or. Arthur N'ewton Davis of
J'i.jua, O., h;is the distinction of be
ing the only m;un to make the Kai
ser yell. He was dentist to Em
peror William. Commenting upon
tho advance in American, dentistry,
as indicated by the Emperor's
choice, tho Seattle Post-lntelligen
tvr says:
"A short time since a dispatch.
fro.ii Berlin bringing the news that
the German kaiser had summoned
his American dentist to attend him,
ard 'hat the departure of other A
merkaL. muaiber o£ the profession
was deeply regretted, caused some
jioudennuut among laymen in rhls
country. The wonder was that there
were 1:0 dentists in Berlin to skill
ful as lite Americans and that the
(Jeruiau emperor preferred a citizen
cf aa enemy country to one of his
to be the most capable in the world
own suDjects. The explanation is
that -American dentists are reputed
and that dentistry ia the United
States has kept fully abreast of, if
nor jix advance of, other sciences.
" Occasion ally one reads in the
medical journals that Americans are
performing miracles in the dental
sections of the French military hos
pitals. Owing to thu fact that head
u oux:d„ are common ia the trenches,
the sections of the hospitals where
oral surgery is done ore frequently
the busiest, ia the trench the sol
dier necessarily exposes his head
the oftenest. Ilia steel helm®t pro
tects the cranium somewhat, go that
the face is most frequently expos
ed. The skill of the American den
tal surgeons in treating these
w uuds and la restoring broken jaw)
aud teeth to something like their na
tural lorrn is a constant cause for
wonder.
"For many years it was consid
ered necessary for surgeons to fin
ish their education In the big hos
pitals at Vienna, Berlin or in Par
is, but even before the war the
drift toward Europe" had Blackened.
American surgical clinics had grown
in importance until they were in a
fair way to equal any in the world.
However, in the practice of dentist
ry America has hied the lead from
the beginning. Not only have we
the leaders in the profession, but
the average skill of American dent
Js's ie greater than, that of dentists
el se w hero.
"As a science dentistry is com
paratively new. Although a rude
dentistry was practiced before the
beginning of the Christian era, it
was not until a centurry aso that it
became a separate profession. A
K, Woofeadale, who came to Ameri
ca in 1766, appears to have been th
first dental practitioner in this coon*
try. AFer him came a few men
•whose nam^s are familiar in his
tory, Including the celebrated John
Greenwood, who made several sets
Submarine Specialist
Naval Consulting Board
Following a scries of conferences of
naval officers and members of the sub
marine group of the naval consulting
board, of which W. L. Saunders is the
head, it was asserted that the Ameri
can navy is in possession of a plan, or
WILLIAM LA WHENCE SACNDESfl.
Invention, which It was said would
successfully cope with the U boat
menace.
W. L. Saunders, who became a mem
ber of the consulting board two years
ago, was presldeut of the American
Institute of Mining Engineers at the
time. lie is a native of Georgia and
was educuted at the University of
Pennsylvania. Air. Saunders Is the in
ventor of inuny mining machines and
belongs to many technical societies.
He Is also the author of a number of
books on engineering subjects. Mr.
Saunders was twice mayor of North
Plalnfleld, N. J. He is sixty-one years
old.
DAY BY DAY.
Finish every day and be don®
with It You have done what
you could. Some blunders and
alisurdltles crept In. Forget them
as soon as you can. Tomorrow
is a new day. You shall begin
It well and serenely and with too
high a spirit to be encumbered
with your old nonsense.—Emer
son.
Cleanaing Fluid.
Shave four ounces of hard ■white
soap and dissolve lu two quarts of
boiling water. Remove from Are und
when cold add oi.e-half ounce of salt
peter, stirring until dissolved. Strain
through a cheesecloth and let mixture
settle. Take off scum with skimmer.
Now add one-half pint of ammonia,
then bottle and cork tightly. This will
remove grease aud oil from all kinds
of fabrics und is useful for various
purposes, such as scouring floors, clean
ing windows, metals, etc.
Money In the Idea.
"There is money in maintenance,"
the Electrical Merchandising Magazine
points out. "Large hotels do not buy
glassware; they contract with a glass
concern which keeps them stocked at
so much per month regardless of the
amount of breakage. Taxicab compa
nies in the big cities do not buy tires;
they contract with a tire dealer to keep
their cars equipped at a set price per
car per year, regardless of punctures
and blowouts. Now comes the story of
an electrical contractor who is profit
ing by keeping the electric equipment
of his customers in order on a monthly
maintenance basis.
"The idea Is not new. The glass man
borrowed it from somewhere; the taxi
tire man borrowed it from him, and so
It goes. Originality is almost an un
known tMng. A clever business man
is simply one who adapts borrowed
Ideas successfully—and who doec it
first in his locality."
Daily History Class—June 12.

near Bannockburn.

of false teeAbi for George Washing
ton. Up to 1820 there wer$ fewer
than 100 dentists in this country,
while tcday three are more than
45,000.
"The idea that American dentists
are competent probably will give
courage to the unfortunate with, an
achin? tooth. Certainly the tribute
o* praise given by the German kai
ser to Dr. Arthur Newton Davis,
of Piqua, O., should be a big boost
for America© members of the pro
fession. However, if the Piqua man
.made the kaiser yell It will be all
,1'ipht wi'h the American, people."
Burning Up Waattti.
Who cau tell how extensively our
preventable fires count In the cost of
living? In the United States there Is
a fire for every minute of the year.
The daily destruction of $000,000 means
an economic drain that affects all busi
ness life and all domestic life. When
a grain elevator burns, with a loss of
700,000 bushels of corn and 300,000
bushels of oats, or a lire in a storage
warehouse destroys whole trainloads
of potatoes, it is easy to see what it
means. But every lire affects the cost
of all commodities, although the effect,
like many of our taxes, may be ob
scure.— routh's Companion.
Wagner's Music.
When Wagner's music first came in
the adherents of the old school did not
take kindly to it. An English conduc
tor after a rehearsal of the introduc
tion to "Der Fliegende Hollander" laid
i down his baton and said: "Really, this
ends quite pleasantly. I fear some of
you have been playing false notes!"
