The adage that there is nothing new under the sun has been disproved by N. D. Starr, who has cut a third set of teeth at the age of eighty-four, when usually the only new molars, bicuspids, etc., that can be achieved are those purchased from a dentist, says the Memphis Commercial Appeal. Mr. Starr, who Is in the employ of the Memphis Artesian Water company, recently found himself In need of a set of these artificial substitutes for the teeth provided by nature. But when he visited his dentist the price was too high and he decided to go toothless. However, through one of the unaccountable happenings which sometimes upsets all rules, Mr. Starr discovered that he was cutting 12 new teeth. They are almost through now, although they are not very useful yet, owing to the fact that his gums are sore in a fashion familiar to all mothers of teething infants or to boys and girls whose second teeth are replacing their baby teeth, and even the older boys and girls who proudly announce: "I'm cutting a wisdom tooth." Dentists doubtless will contend that such a thing cannot happen. But Mr. Starr knows that he now has teeth where no teeth were before. Moreover, he says his eyesight is better than it was several years ago, and that so far from his vigor being impaired by advancing years he feels stronger and more youthful than he did when he was seventy. TELL OF BABYLONIAN LIFE is vital in the fertilizer business this Fall. The World is short of wheat. The Farms are short of labor. Fertilizer is needed more than ever, but the fertilizer manufacturers are short of cars and labor to load cars. It is impossible to supply the fertilizer needed this fall unless the shipping season is lengthened, and this can only be done by starting earlier.

ROYSTER GUANO COMPANY BALTIMORE, MD. Interesting Revelations in Clay Tablets That Were "Written" On Some Forty Centuries Ago. The University of South Dakota at Vermillion has come into possession of' 61 genuine Babylonian tablets, discovered by Arabs in the ruins of buried cities and collected at Bagdad. They have been deciphered by Dr. Edgar J. Banks of Alpine, N. J., an authority on these clay and brick records of 4,000 years ago, and their authenticity proved. Fully half of the tablets in this collection are perfect and all of them are legible. They are only a few inches in size and were written on when they were soft clay, later being dried, or baked. Most of them are of about the date 2350 B. C, a few going as far back as 2800 B. C, and others dating from the time of the fall of Babylon before the Persians, In 538 B. C. The most valuable tablet of the collection is a letter. Holes were made through it so that it might be attached to a cord and carried in this way. Next in point of value and interest are a number of neo-Babylonian tablets of sundried clay containing business contracts of all sorts and giving pictures of the life of the people after the Persian conquest. Of special interest is a small tablet of exercises in writing, done by some boy in the temple school over 40 centuries ago. Iceberg Acrobat. The sighting of a fleet of 14 icebergs, one with somersaulting tendencies, was reported by Capt. W. H. Flem-ming recently on the arrival here of the steamship Munaires from Rotterdam. The bergs were seen about 750 miles east of Halifax. One of them, said Capt. Flemming, suddenly rolled over with a splash. As it tumbled, a large piece from the top was broken off, causing the berg to take a second tumble. As It was righting, another section broke off, and for the third time the berg turned over. It was about a mile astern of the vessel.—New York World. A Good Catch. It is impossible to repress a feeling of satisfaction over the feat of the Atlantic City game warden, who apprehended the owner of a seaplane guilty of shooting wild geese in the air. The law against this sort of "sport" is strict, and the penalty provided for offenders is ample. And, as bird shooting from the air is on a Old Town National Bank Gay and Exeter Streets BALTIMORE, MD.

Replying to a protest from Lee White, publicity department of the Christian Scientists, against remarks on the death from diphtheria of a girl under Christian Science treatment, the Journal of the American Medical Association says: "Had the nine-year-old girl been buried beneath a load of bricks, even Mr. White would have suggested, we believe, that before giving the injured child 'Christian Science' treatment—'absent' or 'present' —the bricks should be removed. What Mr. White fails to realize is that a Klebs-Loeffler bacillus is just as material an object as a brick. It does material damage, it is true, not by its material weight, but by the equally material toxins it nmdaooa." Irish Travel Stopa The tourist resorts of .Ireland—the Lakes of Killarney and Glengarriff— have suffered greatly during the war and the resumption of normal conditions, with freedom of travel for pleasure, will be required to bring back their old-time prosperity. So Queens-town and, to a smaller degree, the city of Cork has been affected by the entire cessation of the extensive passenger traffic to and from the United States. Queenstown was the principal port for Irish emigration to the United States, and the change in that respect Is highly significant. There are more young men in Ireland today than there were for very many years before the war. Emigration, which for the ten years ending March 1, 1911, averaged 38,808 from all Ireland, fell in 1917 to 2,111, and In 1918 to 980 natives of Ireland. Embarkation of emigrants and others from Queens-town which amounted to 20,883 in 1913, and 21,430 in 1914, stopped altogether in No^mber, 191A JOHN WARD Licensed Auctioneer WOODLAWN 6-19-52 w Baltimore County, Md "WILLIAM WHITNEY County Surveyor For Baltimore County COURT HOUSE TOWSON, Ma . 1-14-ly, Telephone, Towson 456 Instant Relief for Bunion Sufferers FAIRYFOOT will instantly relieve the pahi and check further growth of bullions, reduces the joint to normal, size, takes out inflammation.
