Branch rul lii:e a f Pied Piper among the school children | of the county. Incidentally Wake 11 County is; one of four in the state to ft‘ provide a dental clinic for its school ft children, but Dr. Brancn is the one ■ and only dentist as far as children of Rj this county is concerned. Approximately 10,000 children have been treated by him 3ince the r’inic was installed nearly four years Ii ago, and up to the 8,000 mirk only If 18 by actual count cried while in the 1/ , dental chair. Not that they don’t cry Ik' before, most of them do when coming HI for the first time, but it is not his way to force a child in the chair. His work during the past month if done by a private firm, was estimated at $1,500, and last month was in no way an unusual month. The clinic is operated as a branch of the County f Health Department, and is supported by public taxes. Mob psychology is used by some to account for his unsual success with children, and others merely say he ents who could well afford to hiv private work done on their children’s teeth have found him so satisfactory I that they are almost invariably sent to him for treatment. Children are a great deal more E i trouble than adults in the dental I / chair. They require more time, trou- M ble, and patience of the dentist, and h hence are not generally regarded with Jh favor by a general practitioneer. But ■| \ part of Dr. Branch’s success with chil- V | dren is undoubtedly the fact that he ft Visibly enjoys his v.ork with them. I Juraduating from the Atlanta Dental College, he then spent ten years in ftC special preparation to treat children’s ■1 teeth. He was a student at the For- K' syth Rental Infirmary for Children, and was later a member of the visit fi ing staff. I His work is eduactional ts well as corrective in character. If the mother l : accompanies the child, she is given K a seat near the child, and while he fl works, Dr. Branch delivers a lecture 1 on the care of the teeth, and proper diet for the child. If the mother does f not accompany the child, he varies • the tale, and tells it to the child, or | rather children. Children are not handled singly i" the office, they are handled in flocks. |l And with a few old-timers to lead 1 the way, the new comers who have 4 to be disentangled from their mamas’ A skirts before they can be seen, fall in line more readily. A story of the mule whose tail hangs to the ground. ■; and who brushes his teeth by eating rough stuff generally catches the at tention, and when Dr. Branch retires J to his work room the children come trooping after him. They are seated on a long settee in the counter with only a few privileged new ones allowed to stand near the I chair and watch the work hi.a; v. ■L ous accounts of rabbit’s foot oil made the left hind foot of a rabli cough bj in the grave yard at midnight, an. r> which has the power to remove “rust” I 1 from their teeth, is demonstrated on f one of their number, gradually the [ ! circle closes in until he has to pause I to make “elbow room.” There is always a cats tail brush used to polish the teeth that never fails to excite interest. It was form erly a habit to say that he needed some new cats tails, but after one grateful youngster returned the next day with his cat as an offering, Dr. Branch found it best to eliminate this statement. Once they know him the children f. ; show implicit faith in him. A young ster came rushing in one morning with his two front teeth, both of which had tremendous roots, in his | hand. “The Ford kicked ’em out this \ morning,” he breathlessly explained, 9 “and pa was startin’ to town so I ? brought ’em along. I want ’em put back.” Jesse James, Huck Finn, and Tom Sawyer are all good friends of the i doctor’s. He doesn’t like “little gal’s f , blood in his boys,” and he rarely gets | J an exhibition that there is any. Em ployes in the offices on the lower floor | , of the court house say that children who have occasion to be brought | into their offices after a trip to the ft i dentists never admit that he hurts ft them. And there is really little necessity i hurt Ihv'u very much. Childrf .’s '* ire nR t'-f'e’ally filled until . 'ter 12 year, c . vba' y ’ ' h • ■’ • filled, i: <jy ar • painted . • r.

He attributed this -.ostiy to the fact that they have been rough! in ’. ogularly by the weli'me orkers, who have also put on an ntensive campaign to teach the chil dren to care lor iheir teeth. In addi :::n to the clearing, and that is the ’’•at tlrng he does when a chi’d sits lown in the ch: ir, a regular inspection ■ also very desirable. Dr. Branch stated that the dentists T Raleigh co-operated with him thor ughly, and expressed a desire for i,is department to assist them in any ay practical. In speaking of visitors ,he explain d that they were welcome at any •me, and if he were forewarned, he light possibly clear up the debris aused by children cutting paper- dolls il over the place.

N LOVING MEMORY OF LITTLE MORRIS CONWAY PEARCE On Friday morning, June 19th, al ': t'o the Death Angel visited the, •07.-3 of "'lr. arc! Mrs. Matthew oirce and took from them their darl : baby, Morris Conway. Me was , ly nine months o' "go. just in the prime of baby life, which is so sweet .nd precious to the :.i itlier. We can’t inderstand why God has t: ken thi little one, but while there is a vac. i t place in the home the vacancy in heaven has been filled and some day 2 shall understand. Everything that loving hands could 10, was done, but in vain. But God nows best and we must say, “God’s vill be done.” Our heart go out in sympathy for ho 'parents and grand-parents who so lovingly and patiently ;a f by and arsed this little precious one until he cr.d. ", he funeral was conducted Satur ■ v evening at 1 o’clock by Rev. John .rcliie Mclver, pastor of Pine Ridge Taptist church. A large number of Me. as and relatives were present to . • the last tribute of respect to the % ; Ule one as it was laid to rest und!m riourd of flowers. May God bless and comfort the sor ■-awing ones as no one else can and lip them to say, like David the ’salmist did: “The child can t come aek to us but we can go to him.” IVA and LUCY PERRY. ' i T *fc de Synonyms Only by Common Consent In popular usage the words “thor- Highbred" uml “purebred" are prac tically synonymous. The dictionaries us a rule make no distinction bet een them. In fact the word “purebred" Is not reeognl.-ed at all by most dietlon iries. Webster's International diction ary, which does not contain “pure bred." defines the adjective “thoro ’gh hred" ns follows: “lir d from the ir si blood through a long line; pure-blood d said of animals." The same au thority defines the noun “thorough bred" as a “thoroughbred animal, es pecially a horse.” Aecord ng to tills dictionary it is equally correct to speak of a thoroughbred horse, a thorough- ' bred dog or a thoroughbred cow This undoubtedly is the general and accept ed usage. But scientists and breeders usually try to make a distinction be tween tlie two terms. According to technical usage, “thoroughbred" is ap plied only to the breed of running horses eligible to registration in tint standard stud books. On the ot)i r bund, “purebred*' Is applied to pure blooded animals In general. This dis tinction is Ignored by practically all the dictionaries and is not observed lu popular usage.—Pathfinder. Wind Forest and Speed by No Means Identical "How strong was the wind?” Is the question asked after a destructive storm. The answer to this question Is likely to be misleading, says Nature Magazine, because it is nearly always stated In terms of speed rather than force, and the two tilings are not identical. The force of the wind can be indi cated accurately by saying what pres sure it exerts (in pounds per square foot, for example) upon a surface at right angles to It* path. This pres sure varies approximately as the square of the rpeed. Thus a wind of 20 miles an hour, blows about four times as hard aa one of 10 miles an hour, and a wind of 90 miles an hour blows about nine times aa hard aa one of 10 mile* an hour. - .. . • J i T i~ nVICOVTi PPttv\y ? rri y r 1095 r- *" ft »a. ***«♦» * > >—*wm vj **«■>*/• . »*.**»♦• Y/lcl Zhc VZ-P1 Thc.'s tZ r Mi! it cent to Do.'

His Gratitude Greater Than His Knowledge A Filipino boy who had studied Kng lish in a Hawaiian night school sent the following letter to a white man wlio had befriended him and who had made him a present of some pictures and a shirt: ■‘l received your kind and welcome letter from you, so, I in it, I was very, very glad to heard from you that you so stated ut present In good health and fisical condition.

Names for Nautical Fare The sailor resembles the quick or der restaurant waiter in that t • - ii variably has a pot name for an ;•••!•.•• of diel. Bait beef, tin t tandby of th menu fit sea, was known during tin Nineteenth century as “junk.” "of horse,” “salt horse" or ".sail junk." R was responsible, held one writer o: si a stories, for the mahogany oomph" ion of sailors, which was emimiiinl.' attributed to a combination of ruin and tlie weather. A stew answered ti the name of “loiiseor.se.” and was made of salt beef, biscuits and pot;, toes, seasoned highly with pe|,p**r. A ■ : -Ii of eoii] fi.Ji and potatoes win sieved “twice-laid.” while a puddill: of dried peas boiled in a cloth wn weleoiaed by the sailors under tin name of “dog’s body.” Ship hi-audii were even then called “hurdtac** w hile soft, white bread w s ehris :ei)‘d “soft tack” or “soft lomm.i."

Grandmother (holding one end of thi toy tel: phone)—liello ! Is that Eliza belli? Elizabeth (very delighted)—Yes grandma ! Grandmother —Weil, come along Elizabeth, it's time for your bath. Elizabeth (dropping receiver)— Wrong number! Made Lonely Journey A woman farmer in a lonely part o South Africa, Mrs. Ida I-’runcis, ha- Jjist shown that in luck and e. dur slice British women settlers are no behind llie men. About two months ago a eycloni devastated her farm, which lies bo yond the western fringe of thedesoiah Kalahari desert; and then came flood which destroyed the food and sheite: for her cattle. The only way to snvi her animals was to drive them -H« miles across the desert to her son’i farm, and this she did, unaided. She found that many of the water holes in the desert had dried up, uni sometimes she had to word off attack* by lions with her rifle; hut she kepi steadily on, and in the end brought nearly all her charges through safely —Family Herald. Only Real Growth Some men grow, others just swel up. It most frequently happens tha' the latter swell in the head, ratliei than elsewhere, and a little mone; largely contributes to this. Trm growth Is marked by development o •olnd, heart, and soul. —Grit. Galtt i Earned Title, “Father of Medicine’* Tin* foundations of ined’cal science were laid in tlie curly part of tlie First century hy Claudius Galen. Gab n was burn at I’ergmum, in Asia Minor. He spent some years at Alex andria and later went, to Kmue, where he wrote a work on anatomy and even performed dissections upon animals. He considered that disease was largely bused upon the four humors of man- bile, blood, phlegm and black bile—-which were regarded as related to (but not Identical with) the four elements -lire, air, earth and water — being supposed to have characters sim ilar to these. Thus, to bile, as to fire, attrib uted the properties of heat tad dry ness; to Hood and air those of heat and liioistuess; and finally black bile, like earth, was a lid to lie cold and dry. “ Hobble” Stairway In a certain building in Skowhegnn, Maine, is an unusual flight ot stairs, which have a rise of 5 inches anil a correspondingly narrow tread, looking us if they were made for the con venience of small children. This stair way was built according to the idea of Dr. Henry Leavitt, a dentist In tlie building. It was the day of the hobble skirt. (Tad in a hobble skirt, any wom an ascended a flight of ordinary stairs with difficulty and Doctor Leavitt planned the stairs with tills style in ndnii. About the time they were fin ished. the style passed to await its res urrection, but tlie stairs will remain— u memorial to a forgotten freak of fashion. Louisiana Purchase Payment for the Louisiana purchase was- not made in actual gold coin or bullion. The exact cost of the pur chase was (M-,000,000 frainH in the form of United States 6 per cent bonds, rep resenting a capital of $11,250,000. The ultimate cost would include not only the par value of the bonds, but also ten years’ interest, tlie cost of survey ing, of government exploration and of selling the lands. In addition, the American government agreed to as sume and pay the obligations of France to American citizens for French at tacks on American shipping. These obligations were estimated at $",750,- (¥H>. making u total payment of $1 ">,000,000. That Was the Trouble A stranger on the main street ot lb rnelsville, Ariz., cirine upon a bat tered individual with both eyes black ened and face swollen with bruises, lying in a heap against the curb at tlie principal corner. “What happened to you?” asked the stranger with some agitation. “A feller heat me up,” was tlie re ply, “tor not payin’ a hill.” “Why don’t you send for a doctor?” “The doctor was here about a min ute ago, pardner.” “Oil, you’re all right, then?” “Why, pardner,” said the wounded citizen,, “it was tlie doctor's bill I didn't pay.”—Hygeia.
