N. Hoffstot and J. W. Friend was resumed. This deposition will not be made until it becomes necessary and may not be called into the case at all.

His testimony related to the accounts between Jutte and the defendant.

Mr. Beal objected to any evidence on transactions later than June 16, 1903. He had no objections to the plaintiffs going after specific items, but he was opposed to fishing expeditions. In the three weeks since the case was adjourned, he Bald the plaintiffs had never asked toe the books. Judge Shafer will decide this point later.

A long wrangle started when Mr. Beal objected to the witness tracing every item through the Julia accounts. He said It appeared as though $260,000 could not be traced. The court sustained the defense on this point. Mr.

Weil at once offered the entire account as evidence. Mr. Beal asked for proof that Friend or Hoffstot controlled these books and offered either of them as witnesses. Mr. Weil said he wanted competent witnesses whom he could believe.

Judge Shafer finally admitted the books and the rest of the day was spent in examining them. EVIDENCE AGAINST PATRICK. Dr. Kemp Says It ls.HarcMo Get Any Embalming Fluid Into Lungs of a Body. T3v Associated Presw.

Acheson handed down an opinion awarding damages to Jonathan Clark Sons from the City of Pittsburgh. The plaintiffs were the original contractors for the reservoir at Highland park, and had made a con tract on May 13. 1307. through E. M.

Extension of Foundry and Machine Shops in Pittsburgh Affects Electrical Trade. Extensions of foundry and machine trade in the Pittsburgh district during the last few months, and plana for further extensions along the same line during the present summer have brought about a peculiar condition la tlie electrical machinery trade. The practice of installing Individual electric motors for each lathe and machine tool to be operated In a shop has caused a demand for the small electric motors almost beyond the limit of capacity of the manufacturers.

They are reporting orders delayed because of congestion in the rush of business, and nearly all of the shops making them are working night and day. Ten years ago such an extension would have made little dlflerence to the electrical trade, as it would mean the extension of shafting, pulleys and belting for connection with machines. Now the pulley, shafts and belting are largely done away with, and the individual motor is taking Its place. The centralizing of the power plant and distribution of power by electric current has made it possible to remove all dangerous shafts and belts from the shops, and the little motors are so located as to become a part of the machines themselves, with, feed wires coming from subways under the floor to keep them emit of the way. During the last few weeks thousands of email motors have been shipped from Pittsburgh shops for this trade.

They are going In carload lots, and the Westing-house Electric Manufacturing Company, one of the largest producers of these machines, reports new business In sight that will possibly mean the enlargement of the East Pittsburgh department, where these are made. PROTESTS AGAINST POLICE. A. R. Peacock Takes Up Side of Auto-moblllsts With Mayor Guthrie.

It was claimed that the autoists are being wrongfully treated by the police in making Arrests. Mayor Guthrie Informed Mr. Peacock that he could not interfere with the conduct of the police department except in cases where it was proven that there were flagrant violations of officers' conduct.

Mr. Peacock was Informed that he would have to get what relief was coming, If any, through the director of the department of safety. on a piece of red litmus paper. If the litmus turns blue, it is free from acid (alkaline), otherwise it is acid and should not be used, as acids are the deadliest enemies of the teeth. Teeth need exercise as well as other parts of tho body.

Therefore thorough mastication of the food not only exercises the teeth, but lessens the burden of the stomach by properly mixing the saliva In the food, which is nature's first step in digestion. Use both sides of the mouth when eat ing, for then all of the teeth have th same amount of exercise. The teeth are not pencil-holders, nutcrackers or thread-cutters. Tartar should be removed from the teeth, for it brings a whole train of evils In its wake. Make It a point to visit a dentist at least once a year, for Without good teeth there cannot be thorough mastication.

Without thorough mastication there cannot be perfect digestion. Without perfect digestion there cannot be, proper assimilation. Without proper assimilation there cannot be nutrition. Without nutrition there cannot be health. Without health what la life worth? We are Prepared to welcome the Knights in a practical way with merchandise of a class at prices 're confident they will see the advantage tn by caring for the packages and extending every possible courtesy we can to make their visit pleasant and profitable.

A Dollar Hidden Away is a dead dollar it produces nothing it is idle, useless but a dollar deposited to 3'our account in this strong bank EARNS 4 INTEREST and is a thousand times safer than any place you could hide it Let us send you a handsomely illustrated booklet telling about our facilities for caring for your sa7ings. Care for the teeth, cs well as the hair and the complexion. A few minutes each day. a good tooth brush and a reliable dentifrice after a visit to a dentist are all the essentials.

In order to. make the tooth-brush habit a pleasure, select a fragrant refreshing tooth wash, powder or paste free from acid, gritty or injurious substances. The brush should be rather soft, never stiff, and should be applied with only moderate force. It Is false economy to buy a cheap brush. The teeth should be brushed in a waving motion across them, a twisting motion from the gums towards the biting edge and every which way on the biting surface.

Remember to brush the hidden surfaces as well as thoso shown when laughing, etc. Brush" them at night and morning and, if possible, after each meal. By all means, brush them at bedtime, for it Is at night that the acids of the saliva get in their work on the teeth. Rinse the teeth and mouth well with an alklline mouth wash after taking acids, strong medicine and foods containing acids, such as lemon juice and vinegar. It is an easy matter to test a liquid dentrlflce for acid.
