State of Illinois Buys Historic
Tract for 46000
People Gain Possession of the Pictur
esque Site on Illinois River Where
tho Indians Made Their
Last Stand
Ottawa 111 Starved Rock passed
into the hands of the state of Illinois
recently when negotiations were con
cluded between the Illinois park com
mission and Ferdinand Walther of
Chicago who has ownqd the property
for the past 22 years jf The papers
signed and exchanged show that the
state paid the sum of 46000 for the
290 acrc tract which it is expected
will prove to be the nucleus of one of
the finest state parks m the country
The new state park preserve lies
ten miles west of Ottawa on the south
side of the Illinois river and in addi
tion to Starved Rock proper coigsists
of precipitous cliffs canyons and glens
which rival many of Americas most
famous scenic wonders
No spot In Illinois is richer in his
tory or legend than Starved Rock
which was visited by the early French
missionary explarers and was also the
scene of numerous bloody conflicts be
tween Indian tribes Upon its lofty
summit the Illinois warriors made
their last stand and after being
starved were finally exterminated by
their enemies
The fight for the acquirement of
Starved Rock by the state for park
purposes may be said to date back to
the forty sixth general assembly al
though there was considerable previ
ous agitation in favor of the move
ment
Ac that session of the legislature an
act ws pesced authorizing the ap
pointment of a commission to investi
gate and repert on the preservation of
certain lands for public parks and an
appropriation of 1000 made to pay
the expenses of the commission

which closed the deal are Prof J A

The boundaries of the park district
including 115 acres were laid out
by Mr Richards secretary of the com
miEsicn This tract has a frontage of
five miles along the river extending
frcm the Utica bridge to the South
Ottawa township lice including Fish
burns cave and Salt Well The bal
ance of this property is owned by

been secured on practically all of it

POSSIBLY TOO MUCH FOR KER
Man Should Have Recognized That
There Are Limits Even to
Fairys Power
fc
Once upon a time a man who lived
out Bloomfield way did an unusual
service for a fairy queen I dont re
member exactly what it was perhaps
ho stepped into a dTift to let her pass
At any rato she said to him in grati
tude
Sir for your kindness I will re
ward you by granting you three wish
es Name what you desire most in
all the world and it shall be yours
The man who lived out Bloomfield
way thought a moment He ought
have lived out South Orange way or
down Elizabeth way or over Arlington
way but it happened that ho dwelt out
Bloomfield way and as this Is a true
story I must tell it exactly as it was
Ho thought a moment and then he
thought another moment making two
moments all told after which he said
I wish people would quit eating
peanuts In the street cars It gives
the cars such a vegetable air and
besides it is very harmful for as you
know peoplehould have cheerful sur
roundings abvmeals
On hearing this request the fairy
queen vanished in a flash of flame
with a deafening report and the next
time the man got aboard a car to go
to his home out Bloomfield way the
passengers were still eating peanuts
and the car had a breath
This teaches us that fairies are not
all they are cracked up to be New-
PROPER CHEWING OF FDUfD
Children Should Be Taught to Masti
cate Thoroughly and Give the Sa
liva a Chance
At a recent dental meeting held in
Indiana a speaker made this state
ment The education of the aver
age man woman and child has been
sadly neglected They have been
taught to eat but have not been
taught to use their teeth When we
bolt our food we ignore one of the
most important ferments ptyalin in
our saliva that has much to do in the
process of digestion But the Ameri 1
cn habit is to spit and the Americans
are the greatest spitters in the world1
Between meals they spit out the in j
valuable saliTa then when they chew
they wash down every unchewed
mouthful of food with copious
draughts of water coffee or in sum
mer iced tea What a foolish dis
gusting habit it is and more than fool
ish more than disgusting it is killing
in its hurtfulness A habitual spitter
at middle age will have the broken
down digestive apparatus of an oll
man at seventy five Men wbobolt
their food wko put tlieir saliva out of
business are drug shop chasers and
slow suicides
In answer to inquiries addressed to
one hundred and fifty leading physi
cians in this country 9S per cent of
these physicians said that chewing of
food was an important factor towards
good health and that the bolting of
food frequently caused cancer ca
tarrh of the stomach and gastric ul
cers If food Is not thoroughly chewed
and is permitted to reach the stomach
in large lumps or masses there is no
question that it must injure the soft
lining of that organ producing many
of the cases of ulcer and catarrh that
nqed careful and consistent medical
attention
It has been said that fully 75 per
cent of the people of this country bolt
treir food This habit is usually ac
quired during the early years of child
hood and carried on during ones
whple life In many of the homes the
early morning hours are given to pre
paring the children for school Very
frequently they are permitted to sleep
late and then In the hurry and bustlo
to get them to school on time the
breakfast is bolted These same con
ditions of hurried meals apply to the
lunch hour ard at supper thne From
day to day this is permitted until the
habit is firmly established carried up
to manhood and then down through
old age We have a lesson every day
of the bolting of food Walk into the
quick lunch room of the cities and see
these hustlers at work Look down
the long row of tables see the rapid
movement of the eating contest for
which prizes are offered to the fellow
that gets through first Many of these
lunch rooms advertise how quickly
on may be filled from their larder
and take pride in the number that can
be fil ed in a gi a tino
It should be the duty of all parents
to make their children eat slowly
and chew their food properly Nature
has placed the teeth in our mouth foi
a very valuable purpose If we neg
lect to keep them in shape and to
properly use them we are inviting con
ditions that seriously threaten oar
health and general welfare

GUM DISEASE IS PREVALENT
Many Persons Afflicted With Pyor
rhea Alveolaris Which Attacks Tis
sues Around the Teeth
The disease known as pyorrhea al
veolaris is probably the most preva
lent of all dental diseases for more
teeth are lost from this condition than
all others combined The disease oc
curs in the mouths of all classes or
people more frequently however in
the mouths of those who have been
rather neglectful in regard to the care
of the teeth Yet pyorrhea can and
doea occur in the mouths of tliose who
give their teeth the best attention
The disease differs from decay of the
teeth in that the tissues around the
teeth are attacked and destroyed rath
er than the teeth themselves
The most important thing to be im
pressed upon the mind of the patient
is the fact that the best and most
permanent results can be obtained
in the tieatment of the disease when
it is recognized and corrected in its
earlier stages
The disease generally begins by
some foreign substance such as tar
tar deposited on the teeth causing Ir
ritation of the gums Unless this tar
tar is carefully removed the disease
gradually progresses and the tissues
around the roots of the teeth are de
destroyed Thus pockets are formed
about the teeth into which filth and
bacteria accumulate
This condition will generally be
manifested by the teeth shifting their
position either spreading apart or ro
tating or both pus flowing from the
pockets when pressure is made over
the tooth root and the affected tooth
gradually becoming loose and tho
gums sore or tender and bleeding
easily
The vital thing for the patient to
know is whether or not the tendency
towards pyorrhea is evidenced in his
mouth and if so what can be done to
hold the disease in abeyance or check
Its progress
No medicine bag ever been suggest
ed which will cuFe pyorrhea and the
sooner this fact is recognized by both
dentist and patient the better for all
concerned The best treatment is the
thorough removal of all irritating sub
stances of whatever nature and the
polishing of all exposed tooth sur
faces and the Bubseauent proper use
of the tooth brush powder or paste
to keep teeth and gums in a healthy
ssmSmniL
Finally Took Receipt
The baron had handed over his
wifes jewelry box to be put in tho
safe
Ill give you a receipt baron said
the hotel clerk
Er I fancy it Isnt necessary re
plied the baron with some hauteur as
he turned away
He did not get far at once He seem
ed to be thinking He shifted his
weight first to one foot and then to
the other spending several minutes
in this profitable exercise Then he
decided to go upstairs At the end of
an hour he returned
I have been thinking it over care
fully he said to the clerk and I
have come to the conclusion that per
haps it might he better for me to hav
a receipt Re got it
