Died of Premature
Old Age!
(BY V. M. PIERCE, M. D.)
How many times we hear of compara-
tively young persons passing away
when they should have lived to be 70 or
B0 years of age. This fatal work is usu-
ally attributed to the kidneys, as, when
the kidneys degenerate, it ceuses auto-
{ntoxication. The more injurious the
poisons passing thru the kidneys, the
quicker will those noble organs be de-
generated, and the sooner they decay.
To prevent premature old age and
promote long life, lighten the work of
the kidneys by drinking plenty of pure
water all day long, and occasionally tak-
ing Anuric (double strength) before
meals. This can be obtained at drug
stores. Anuric will overcome such cop-
ditions as rheumatism, dropsical swell:
Ings, cold extremities, scalding and
burning urine and sleeplessness due to
constant arising.

Washington's ee Teeth in a Baltimore College
ALTIMORE.—The Baltimore College of Dental Surgery owns the only set
of false teeth in existence which belonged to George Washington. The
only other set of artificial teeth Washington possessed was buried with him.
; ; These teeth are the work of Dr. John
Greenwood of New York, who was the
first American dentist. They were pre-
sented to the Baltimore College of Den-
tal Surgery by Doctor Greenwood, and
are the set worn by Washington at the
time his portrait was painted by
James Sharpless in 1796. The arti-
ficial teeth account for the “calm and
benign” expression which he wears in
the portrait.
The set is a complicated affair,
and is ground and carved out of wal-
rus tusks and not of solid very. The teeth are plainly those of a large man,
and are carved in careful imitation of nature. There are full upper and
lower sets. The plate 8f the upper set is’ made of gold, with the teeth
carved of walrus tusks, while the entire lower set is made of walrus tusks, no
effort being made to imitate the gums such as is found in the methods’ of
today. Tiny platinum pins are now used to hold the teeth to the plate, but
the set belonging to the Father of His Country contained rather crude wooden
pins. The two sets are joined by a gold spring, closely wired.
Fake Art Being Ousted From Independence Hall
HILADELPHIA.—Desperate efforts to forestall disclosures of the extent to
which fake paintings have been foisted on the city of Philadelphia reached
a climax when the city council passed an ordinance recently that led to the
very revelations which the measure
was designed to suppress. 3
The ordinance provides for the
creation of a commission to take
charge of Independence hall and all
its paintings and relics. It is nothing
more nor less than a “ripper bill”
aimed at the art jury, which has been
engaged in cleaning out the fakes from

not been announced, but it is large. Paintings ascribed to early American
, artists of note like Gilbert Stuart and Charles Wilson Peale, and. denounced as
fakes heretofore, are to be eliminated: ’
But the big task which the art jury has set itself is to clean, out the
“French” gallery at the hall, the paintings by Albert Rosenthal, Philadelphia
artist, of which no originals exist. Nearly all these paintings were sold to
the- city by’ Rosenthat as copies of originals in the Museum of Versailles.
(Andre Perate, Assistant, tor of that museum, says that in at least nine
instances the ions are Hat at Versailles, and to the best of his knowledge
do not exist.

{ Remarkable Enterprise of the Junkmen of Gotham
EW YORK - —“There are tricks fn” every thash remarked Honest Bill
Quigley, the Battery boatman, as he moored his faithful Whitehall in the
barge-office basin, “but the stunt I justisaw! pulled'by a South Brooklyn junk-
man was the best I have seen lately.
“He had a fine lot of old hawsers
and ropes piled in his boat.
the day of prosperity with the junk-
man, and even old hawsers sell for five
cents a pound. But this fellow didn’t
. Seem to think his ropes weighed
enough. Leastwise, he performed a
remarkable operation on them.
“To begin with, he untwisted all
the strands on a rope and then insert-
. ed bits of wood between them. He did
this until he got a bunch fixed up and
then he aropped. ‘the lot over the side and let the rope soak while he untwisted
a fresh lot.
“After all the rope had been well soaked he pulled iit out of the water and
pulled out the sticks that held the strands apart. Then he let the outside of
the hawsers dry off and went on his merry way to sell them. Of course they
weighed a good many pounds more than before the wetting process.”
The junkmen, said Quigley, now have to paint their license numbers on
their boats “with white paint a foot high.” Always regarded by the harbor
police more or less as pirates, the junkmen are compelled to carry these num-
bers conspicuously on the sides of their boats, which these days are usually
motorlaunches painted a dark gray or green. Notwithstanding the vigilance
of the marine bluecoats, the river pirates are always turning new tricks.
Recently one of them was caught boring holes through the floor of the Span-
ish Line pier. Profitable streams of cocoa poured into the junkman’s boat
until he was Teggitc at it and the practice stopped.
Ferocious Rabbit Is Terror of dis New York Zoo
EW YORK.—Bunch was exiled the other day from the comfort and warmth
of the hayhouse in the Central park zoo to solitary confinement in the
small house back of the zebu corral. Bill Snyder, animal lover and head
keeper, gave a sort of farewell party
to Bunch in the afterncon, when his - on Gr " 5

Bunch by his long ears he explained
that he was, so far as he knew, the
only fighting rabbit in existence and
that his banishment had been finally
and reluctantly decided upon only
after Bunch had nearly killed a cham-
pion and valuable gamecock.
When the rabbit started first upon
his prize-ring career, Bill was very
proud of his pet, but Bunch became such a ferocious bully of small animals
and fowls that the keeper concluded that a beast so dangerous should be
confined where he could do no more harm.
As Bill held the rabbit up for the inspection of his friends—Bill’s, not
Bunch’s—the small fighter much resented his attentions. One of Bunch’s
ears is torn, and there is a scar across the entire top of his head, souvenirs
of an encounter with Spot, Bill's fox terrier. One of the rabbit's hind legs is
a fighting orang-outang now some time gone to rest. Bunch tried desperately
to wriggle from the keeper's grasp, and it was plain to be seen that but for
