Care of the Teeth
What is noticed more tpiickly and
admired more than the teeth if they
ore well cared for and vlmt so
jrreatly lessens one's personal charm
'f they are neglected?
There was a time when carelessness
in this particular was overlooked;
now it ia never excusable, for every

luxury, bnt a positive necessity.

this is not tho only matter wherein
Air. Galley has refused to take advant
igo of tho opportunities presented for
hi- pon-onal gam. Ho has furnished
a 5. JO, 000 bond when tho law required
oniv In If that amount. Furthermore,
the law allows him to collect the city
taxes, which would bring him an ad
ditional rovenno of &'.00 or 100. He
has nor availed himself of this privi
lege but has turned this business all
to tho county treasurer, a democrat.
WhonUoward wants to cast rellectious
on the honesty of a republican official
he had bottor spot somo other man
than Bert Gailoy, if ho values his re
putation for truth."'
In addition to this, tho co ncil
passed tho following resolution in re
lation to street numbers:
"Resolved, by the Mayor and Coun
cil of tlio city of Columbus, that all

diuiuco in relation to the nuuibsring
of their business houses or residences,

No production ever brought more

THE REVIVAL MEETINGS.
Ten days ago bright colored crayon
posters appeared in promiuent places
about town calling attention lo thn
union effort of four churches of Co
lumbus for the salvation of immortal
souls. In one the whirlpool of sin
represented sucking men aud women
to tho maelstrom of death ; another
shows men tossed ou tho sra of life
rneoiving Christ into tho ship ; a thiid
pictures tho business man held
by tho neck in his counting house,
1 while Christ imtkntly knocks at tho
door. Tho Christian unity and Invo
! whi:h prevails among tho churches is
poriravid in another.
Twelvo neighborhood prayer meet
ings -wcro hold through the middle
of March in various parts of tho enm
mnnity. A deep feeling of dependence
upon God and desire for a baptism
of our littlo city was manifest. Tho
Itest. of feeling and fellowship was
perceived in theso gatherings. This
had already been tho case in the meet
ings cf tho local ministers' asso'ia
tion. Each pastor seemed touched
with a new spirit of prayer and con
secration and in a'l the planning for
his extensive campaign tho most com
plete willingness to bo held bv the
stiirt over witnessed by tho writor wr.
cviucnt.
Tho Baptist, Methodist, Congrega
tional and Presbyterian churches
which began together will receive
great benefit from tho meeting in
progress. Tho United Brethren aro
also joining now and persons aro ac
cepting Christ who will mate their
church home in oth"r churches than
these. Tho spirit animating those
dircctiug tho enterprise is both broad
and deep. All last week an intense
earnestness seemed to hang over the
assembly both nfternoon nnd evening
and every meeting was efficient for
bringing sonls to a decision forChrist.
Oa Sunday it was annuoncol that at
least ten had so decided There are
now at least sixteen, six of whom are
men nnd older boys besides a number
of inquirers seeking the way of lifo
On last Sunday the churches held
services iu their own places of wor
ship in the morning. Evangelist Will
iam Hardcustle, Stato Secretary of the
United Christian Endeavor fe'ciLiely
preached at theCongiegatioual church.
At four "o'clock fifty or sixty men
gathered i.i the Mutho.!,!-: church tor
urayt r and conlwence. Rev. G A.
Muurr. Oougreg'itinuiiiiit, was in
chio. Ho tpo!.o ot mo nobility ot0ne. No admission will bo charged
manhood in his own earnest way. He
was followed by Evangelist Hard
castle, who evidently not only loves
men-because of their manliness bnt
knows their temptations and needs
in such a way as to bo helpful to
them. The conference that followed
brought out a uumlor of helpful testi
monies aud some earnest advice. A
male quartette rendered effective mus
ic. At six-thirty the 'young people 'b
societies united in a meeting at the
Congregational church A good num
ber was present and the subject ol
Christian fellowship was very aptly
discussod by many persons there. At
soven thirty in the Methodist chorcn,
a large concourse of people assembled
Every available seat was occupied.
Some who came returned home, others,
remained outride at the doors and
windows: Rev. Hardcastle spoke on
tho drawing power of Christ and
when he at last called for all- who
wished to be drawn to stand, few re
mained in their seats. It wan inspir
ing to bear the vast audience anito in
henrtv song as :m outlet of pent-up
feeling.
Monday night the attendance was
excellent Tor tho early part of of the
week and decision cards were givoii to
porsons wishing them ns thoy passed
out to sign at homo and return. The
joy of those who havo jnst found a
Savior was affecting. Tuesday even
ing Evangolist Hanlcasibt preached a
grand sermon on 'Tho Light of God"
When ho had lini'lied. testimonies
followod ono another iu rapid succes
sion and now converts showed that
thoy are gaining Christian cmragn
nnd strength to stand up for Josiis.
Tho workers assisting the pastors and
evangelist in tho.-o meetings are
thoroughly consecrated and earnest
and while thoy aro exceedingly mix
ions to be helpful to all who are
hungering for a closer walk withGod,
yet thoy exhibit a spirit of courtesy
and consideration for those who
would not care to Lo annoyed. There
is littlo if any, excitement in connec
tion with thoso effort's. Thosolemn
cnlmnesss which prevailsjpmmotcs the
quiet consideration of the claims of
tho gospel ami leaves men free to
exorcise their wills iu Choice. Tho
nbsence of all sensationalism to attract
to the meetings is noticeable The
gospel itself is the power of Go.l to
attract and to save The afternoon
meetings at 3 o'clock nro crammed
foil of spiritual food for hungry souls.
When have such prayers ascended to
the thrown of Gcd from Columbus?
When have Christian people been so
impressed with tho presence of the
Divino One: When have Christians
so fully realized theirChristian broth
erhood? Is not tho community im
pressed to a slight degree at least, that
God is working in an unusual manner
among us? The meetings are all be
ing held in tho Methodist cbnrch.
On Friday afternoon at the close of
school thcro will bo a meeting espec
ially for the pupils of tho public
schools and their teachers. The meet
ings will continm? for several weeks.
That our whole community may feel
the impulse for a holy life and depen
dence on Divine aid is tho earnest
prayer cf onr jiastor.; and their com
panions. Cotymbus vs North Bend.
