More than $50,000 damage was sus-

miles southwest of Guthrie, in a
destructive fire that came near wip-

Tuesday night. Four of the principal
business blocks were destroyed. The

An appeal for help made to Com-
missioner C. C. Clothier, here, was
promptly responded to. The fire de-
partment made the run to the stricken
town in less than two hours, but ar-
rived too late to be of much assist-

I Ol ISYILLK CONVENTION
Louisville, Ky., July 26.—In a
lecture today on "Preparedness in
Oral Hygiene," before the annual con-
vention of the National Dental Asso-
ciation. Dr. L. G. Mitchell of Oklahoma
Ci'y, Okla., told his audience that the
knowledge obtained through recent
ientific research work by men whose
prominence in their respective pro-
ssions compels attention, makes the
ntal profession the natural guardians
of the health of the nation, even
more than the medical profession.
"When the great reform movement
termed Oral Hygiene," said Dr.
Mitchell, "is t'uly comprehended in its
full significance, the people will
realize it embraces the very founda-
tion principles of the health of the
people, and it will not be long until
t is recognized as the most import-
nt issue or reform movement before
he American people today.
"Dentistry and medicine as prof-
essions are just beginning to com-
irehend this.
"Many so-called professional men

ent to lie governed by custom and

"A new, modern house, costing
over $100o has just been completed on
the .Miller corner, now occupied by
Earl B. Patterson, which is a fine
improvement; Louis Johnston, who
purchased the Gustav Erickson home
has added a new porch and summer
sleeping compartment, as well as

the old porches have disappeared and
a concrete and brick structure, per

t3 the appearance of the residence.
Many have wondered when th If

is reported in the neighborhood that
nothing further will be added, other
than vines, which ane to eventually
cover it. The most substantial im-
provement in this block is the (How

Louisville, Ky , July 26.—"Be sure

i orrhea victim " Such was the
warning to the public, containing an
admonition to the profession, by
Dr. 'Carl D. Lucas, of Indianapolis,
Ihd., in his address before the Na
onal Dental association in session
ere.
Dr. Lucas spoke on "Surgical Treat-
ment of Pyorrhea," and ho laid par.
ticular emphasis on the point that
niles of surgical cleanliness should

s of pyorrhea." Continuing, he

l lie fact that the Prince, or, as lie
was known before his marriage, ttie
)uke of Mecklenburg, is a German b.
birth, and that his sympathies natur-
ally lie with Germany, led to his
movements being followed with more
than ordinary attention in the opening
stages of the war when some curious
stories went the round on the subject
lint Prince Henry has nothing what-
*er to do with Holland's policy or
idministration and most of his public
appearances in the past two years of
war have beyn in various activities
• onnected with the Red Cross organi*
zation here ,of which he is president
ind in which he takes the greatest
interest. For the rest he has resided
i good deal at the royal country seat
of "Het Loo," where hunting has been
among his occupations. A day or
two ago he was roticed taking a stroll
through the Hague woods aceompani-
(1 by one of the little tame deer from
the royal house in the wood, which
followed him like a dog.

Bravery of Phone Girls.
London. July 26.—Telephone girls'
bravery during Zeppelin raids and the
Irish rebellion which they helped to
quell featured the annual report of
the post office department in con-
junction with which the telephone
system in this country is operated by
the government.
"When the Zfppelin raids have been
anticipated, sometimes when they
have been going on." says the report,
"the women have come out. of their
homes to their work—even when
bombs were dropping. They have
played an important part in i
scheme of air-raid warnings and have
set a very good example to the whole
country.
"In Dublin, when the bullets were
flying and the fires were raging, the
women stuck to their work in the ex-
•liange, and it was due to them that
communication was kept up and that
we were able to obtain the military
prove of gravest consequence to the forces which suppressed the rebel-

Dr. Lucas recommended a system
of "planing" the teeth until an entire-

face was obtained. He said that py-

initial treatments should return to
the dentist from once a month to once
every three months for further "pre-
